Ways to make money on the Internet.

 

Earn small, but real money to start with - NOT the ' $1000+ a day' scams.
This page is simple to load quickly. No fancy graphics, just the honest facts.

First ... you need some 'tools'.

A dedicated credit card for the Internet. more...
Open FREE Internet banking accounts to receive payment. more...
Disposable email addresses. more...
An 'always online' connection to the Internet. more...

Second ... programs where you need to invest some money.

The risk is greater but the rewards can be huge!

High yield investment programs (HYIP) return high yields on your investment but are also high risk and of limited duration. Get in early with a sum you can afford to loose and earn 20% in a week or 45% profit in 14 days. Most use 'e-currency' so you will need to open free accounts here... To help in deciding which programs to invest in and when to pull out I have kept the statistics of several sites that have closed. This is a very volatile market but can be very profitable and exciting. A more detailed description is here.

Playing the Foreign Exchange markets. A very volatile area where returns can be huge. More details on another page here ...

Third ... programs where you earn money but are free to join.

Trickle income, like these sites below, build up a bank balance, give you confidence and earn you some funds to invest in HYIP or other programs that require you to deposit money first.
Pay to Click (PTC) sites pay you a cent or less to click on advertisements every 24 hours. It may not sound much but it adds up while only a little time is required to earn from each site every day. Remember, you can click and earn from the same ad once every day.

The following Bux sites are reliable and have $2 to $10 minimum payouts:- Neobux (proof), 

ClixSense is another established program that pays 1c a click and also good for buying your own ads. It is best for Premium upgrade members (which costs from $17) as you will get many more links to click on and earn.

Wordlinx has been around for a long time. Refresh your page throughout the day for more links which pay a cent or less.
Bookmark your log-in page, remember your password and check your account several times daily for ads to click on.
You can upgrade your account by purchasing referrals.
Wait for the ad to load and then watch the 10 to 30 second timer count down. If you open two ads at the same time you will be paid for none of them. Be fair to the advertisers.
You can earn about 4c to 10c daily from one Bux/Mail site as a free member but a lot more if you upgrade. If you join 10 similar sites you can earn $1 a day in 30 minutes even without buying referrals!
Remember to bookmark this page and all the sites you join to make it easier to return daily.
MyLot is a great program for people who like to chat and earn a few cents a day at the same time! The range of subjects is enormous and from all over the world. Upload pictures from your computer, list your passions and other features. But beware - this program can become infectious!! Payment is by PayPal so you will need to get a free PayPal account . I have been paid 23 times by MyLot - here is June and July
GetPaidTo join programs! Sign up for any of the 1550 free cash offers available and get paid instantly through Paypal. For instance, join Ebay and get $7 (so long as you are not already a member). Low minimum payout of $0.50 which you can earn in minutes with a daily survey. Free to join. Open only to USA, Canada and UK residents, like a lot of these GPT programs. Most offers are free but some require a purchase which are clearly marked. Please be truthful when joining and giving information and best to use a dedicated email address as you will get many replies.
Go here to see the payment process and proof of payment to my PayPal account
And here are some tips on how to do offers and set up your PC to earn with GPT programs.
Gaming Lagoon, started in 2006 has now been absorbed into GetPaidTo.
For offers that you purchase you will get cash back. Useful where you are buying software (like for PC Speed Optimization ) or ebooks; getting a loan; buying tickets; and more.
To use the site:-
1. Check the Complete Offers page. New offers are added each day
2. Read the directions for the offer and fill it out. Reading the Terms of Services and full completion will assure your offers approval. Once you're done, click the green checkmark to mark the offer completed.
3. Wait while the offer is sent for approval. If approved you will receive the points or cash. Get what you want with the points or convert to cash. One point is just under a dollar. This site pays OK.
Surveys for payment or prizes. Get paid by manufacturers for your opinions on their products. All of these are free to join and really do pay. There are many survey scams on the Net and even some where they require payment from you. You should never have to pay to take part.
CashCrate has been paying for over 4 years with over 2 million members and pays worldwide although most surveys are for US, Canada and Europe. Sign up from the UK, for instance, and you get 52 options to complete offers, take surveys or shop online with payments ranging from 50 cents to $15. You get points for playing Flash games as well - good fun! They have a 'payment wall' where members post photos of their payments. They have a good tutorial here on how to earn money with CashCrate.
For sites where you earn by clicking on a link to make a search. Here is a tutorial on how to make a valid search . It will take longer than the 40 seconds shown to finish loading three pages but if the advertiser doesn't get paid, you wont get the links in the future..
High Payouts from 'free to join' programs.
Normally I avoid very high payout programs where it sometimes takes a year to reach the minimum by which time the site may have vanished!
You WILL get paid with these programs; about $35 to $50 a month for just these programs and there are dozens more to choose from. Join up, add to your favourites or put an icon on your desktop by dragging on a links page for each program and visit the sites at intervals through the day and earn a bit each time. But do it EVERY day! It soon adds up.
I can get you referrals.
TIPS -

1. Right click on the log-in page for each program and save a shortcut link to your desktop, or, Add to your Favourites in a new folder, named Daily, for instance. Much easier to remember your daily earning sites by double clicking on the icons or links.

2. Write the address and log-in details for each site in the back of your diary. It is easy to forget your user name and password and you can continue to earn money on another pc when away from home.

3. Get into the habit of regular visits. Most sites will cancel your account if you don't make use of it and any money earned will be lost.
4. Keep in mind that the more you shop around the better the deal you will get. You log onto any online savings site to find great deals on almost anything. .

5. Contact me if you need help or advice.

Fourth ... make a web site of your own and get advertisers on it.

The final group of earning programs can be placed on your own web site.
First you need a website with content interesting enough to attract visitors.
Think of a subject that you know a lot about - you, your family, your job, your hobby - whatever it is, focus on it and provide detailed information; facts, figures. Try to make your web site the definitive source of information on your chosen subject. A good tutorial on making a web site from start to finish is at HillofCash.com. With a web site designed you need a domain name and a hosting service. It is like an address to the house where your web site lives. I use Easily to buy my domain names with HawkHost and Cirtex to host them. Both companies give excellent service and support, though Hawkhost is my first choice at the moment.
Promote your website using the points earned from working the PTS, PTR and PTC you joined above in section three and to get referrals to sign up under you. See a study on Promotion
There are many sites that will generate traffic to your web site. Sites that generate traffic automatically like QuietHits will produce a large number of hits but the visitor will only look at your page briefly. Visits from real people have more value and some of the best suppliers are EasyHits4U and TrafficSwarm. You may visit member's sites and so earn a visit to your site from a member. You can also purchase visits from a particular class of surfer to match your site content. DonkeyMails also has a manual surf section as well as earning from Pay to Read emails and Pay to Click sections so you can visit all the sections in turn and earn and get traffic at the same time.
Once you have a web site with solid content you have a 'product' to sell. Many of the top programs will not accept you as an affiliate unless you have a web site of substance.
The star payer is Google AdSense. They pay for clicks and pay very well and cleverly match their ads to the content of your page. Minimum payout is $100 by cheque.

A good affiliate scheme is TradeDoubler . where you can join up for free to any of dozens of schemes under one 'roof' . All affiliate schemes have a minimum payout limit of around $50 so grouping schemes together as with TradeDoubler . [aimed at European web sites] and Commission Junction [aimed at North America but covering the world] means that you can get a cheque earlier.
Lots of companies would love you to join them as an affiliate and will pay you a commission when your visitors buy some of their products. It makes sense to join up with companies compatible with your site. Amazon sell a lot more than just books now and pay 5% to 7.5% commission by targeting specific goods with a link from your site.

Bravenet has a lot of free goodies to add to your web site to attract more visitors and can help in setting up and hosting a web site with a free domain name. They also offer 50mb of free space on their servers to store your password protected back-up files and sensitive data. A well respected site of long standing..

Banner advertisements, love 'em or hate 'em, are part of the Net. Place these standard sized banners from AdBrite on your page and earn up to $1/1000 impressions depending on validity of visitor. Note that these are impressions or CPM rates, your visitor just has to see them, they do not have to click on the ads or buy anything. That is why the rates are lower than ' pay per click ' banners. AdBrite pay out monthly by cheque for earnings over $50 and pay me regularly.
Remember, these are all free to join; you have no outgoings other than your normal internet connection which you have anyway. To be perfectly frank, the only downside to these deals is that it takes up your time to organise the links, and your browser and/or web site will run a bit slower while advertising banners load.

The Internet is fast changing - please let us know if a good deal comes along or if you find a crooked deal; contact simetric.co.uk and we will check it out and give it an unbiased opinion.
