Should You Have to Pay to Make Money?
Jun 11th
My biggest annoyance with making money online is having to pay websites who promise that I’ll make thousands of dollars. It would be fine with me if they took a small percentage of my earnings (maybe around 3%) if I used their program to make money online. At least then I would know that their program actually works, or else they wouldn’t make any money either. Everywhere I read things like, “You shouldn’t have to pay to make money!” and “Getting a job should be free.” But since we’re working online and only completing paid surveys or similar, are we technically getting a job? Even if we are, everyday people pay companies to help them find jobs.
By now you’re probably thinking that this is outrageous and that I don’t know what I’m talking about. Personally, I think that making money online should be free. All these paid survey companies and paid offer companies are making more money off of everything we do for them than they pay us. One thing I realized is that I’ve never had to pay to sign up with a paid survey website. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had to pay for signing up with any “get paid to” website. The only sites that I’ve seen that require a fee are the ones who claim they have the method or program that will make you hundreds of dollars.
So, you have to think; are you paying to get a job or are you paying for a program that shows you how to get paid surveys, or likewise, online. Technically when you sign up for a paid survey site you aren’t getting a job, and they clearly state that in the Terms and Conditions. Unfortunately most of these paid survey programs just throw you a list of paid surveys that you could have gotten anywhere else for free and give you barely any advice whatsoever. Even worse is that on top of the fee they get for your membership they make money every time you sign up for a website through them. Basically, they could have given you a free membership and still made a ton of money off of you. Makes it feel like you’re being taken advantage of, huh?
All in all, you shouldn’t have to pay to make money online. Some ways of making money online, such as affiliate programs, may be more profitable if you invest a little money in advertising, however in order to take paid surveys or do other “get paid to” programs, you should never have to pay. After trying those programs that promise you’ll make hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, I can honestly say that they do not work and that all the information they offer can be gotten for free at other places (like Flurbl.com!).

$1000 a Week?
May 27th
So you’re sick of paid surveys; what else is there to do? Paid surveys are pushed as the most profitable way to make money online, but are they? What about paid to click, paid to surf, and paid offers? You read about all those people making $1,000 to $10,000 a week solely from filling out surveys and getting referrals, is it true?
For the past 3 years I have been working my butt off online to try and make some money with paid surveys. What have I gotten out of it? Pretty much just a headache and a few hundred dollars. I’ve filled out surveys left and right and I still don’t make what some sites promise. I’m sure this has happened to some of you as well.
What’s the problem then? I’m working harder than ever filling out surveys and it’s just not possible to make $1000 in a week. The trick is to find survey sites that pay for referrals. For instance; MySurvey.com pays the equivalent of $1.50 for each qualifying referral you send to them. You get them 10 referrals a week and that’s $15 a week. Say you do that for 10 sites offering a similar reward, then your effort turns into $150 per week.
The more sites you sign up with, the more opportunities you have to get referrals. Getting referrals is key to earning a substantial amount of money online. Even if you only get 5% of your referral’s earnings that would mean that for every $5 survey they take, you get a quarter. if you have 100 referrals averaging 2 $5 surveys a week per referral that’s $50 a week.
The top referrers have a little over 1,000 referrals; meaning they average around $500 to $1000 per week (between $26,000 and $52,000 per year). The only thing these people do is get referrals. I understand that it is easier said than done, however once they get referrals the money rolls in on auto pilot.
This is true for every type of online money making site. Whether it’s paid to click or paid offers, getting referrals is the way to earning big money. This isn’t to say that you should stop taking paid surveys and completing paid offers.
Imagine if all of your referrals simply stopped doing that and just aimed for getting referrals? You would earn no money. Taking just 2 $5 paid surveys a week lands you and extra $520 per year. Also, getting paid to click or read emails may only get you about $.25 a week for each site, but say you’re signed up at 10 sites; that’s an extra $130 per year.
Getting started with making money online is the hardest part. Once you get going you just have to sit back and check on things once in awhile.

Keeping Organized; The Key to Success
May 20th
Anytime you look online at sites that promise to help you make money they always stress the point of signing up with as many paid survey sites and as many other payment opportunity sites as possible. They say that this is the key to success with earning money online… But if it’s that easy then why isn’t everyone doing it?
You can’t be successful with earning money online unless you get all the survey invitations and opportunity news easily and efficiently. More importantly, you have to know all of your website login information in order to even start earning money with sites.
Signing up with a lot of sites is important in order to get a strong base of money making opportunities, however it is even more crucial to keep all information regarding these sites in a safe and common place.
My suggestion, from a great deal of past experience, is to get an email address at a reputable website, like Yahoo! or GMail, before you even begin to sign up with any type of online earning opportunity site. Use this email only for your online earning endeavors. Make sure the password is strong, including characters like !)*&^ and a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. Also remember to write down your email address and password on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere safe.
Remember to check this email constantly and keep it organized by tagging unwanted mail as spam and always unsubscribe from emails that you never wanted to receive. Even check your spam mail folder because some mail that you want to receive gets placed in this folder. This will ensure that you get all the earning opportunities that you want, greatly increasing your chances of making money online.
Another suggestion to keep organized is to keep track of all your login information for each website. Using the username/password tracker on your browser is useful for quick login, however you’ll want to make sure you have a backup list off all your information just incase. Using a program like Microsoft Excel is a great way to organize all this information. Make separate columns labeled Site Name, Username, and Password, and record all this data every time you sign up with a new site. Be sure to print this information once in awhile so you have a hard copy; you never know when data can get erased.
I guarantee that keeping organized will help you succeed in making money online. Keeping organized is one of those things that I used to shrug off. When I read articles about it I would think “why did I waste my time reading that.” Finally I realized that I wasn’t wasting my time, it was just taking me a long time to get the hint. Good luck earning money online and I hope this advice will help you.
