No More Banners?

Pity the poor banner ad. Cutting-edge just a few years ago, this pioneer of Web advertising is now scorned as hopelessly out-of-date, a neglected stepchild in an era of Web video, widgets, mash-ups and social networking.

But Web sites don't want to give up this key revenue source: Basic display ads still accounted for $3.4 billion in U.S. online ad spending in 2006, or 21% of the total U.S. online ad market, according to research firm eMarketer. So many marketers are furiously trying to jazz them up. [More]

Make Social Sites Pay!

Here's a cool article I found: With the top YouTube users becoming paid shills for Coke, and the top Diggers being accused of taking ‘cash for Diggs‘, it seems that the users of social sites are looking to be rewarded for their efforts. In fact, there are already plenty of services that will pay you for your participation. Here are nineteen of the best, plus a few bonuses. [Read more...]

Get Paid to Try

If you are unsure if this kind of site is for you, log on and try out a few of the free offers. I signed up for some of the free offers and waited until they credited. I cashed out at the minimum payout to make sure that I would get paid. I did get paid a couple of weeks later by the sites I have listed on this page. After being paid, I had the confidence that I needed to continue with the site, and by doing all free offers, I made $50 per site (x4 = $200 per day) from these sites on totally free offers.

How to Start a Get-Paid-to-Try Site

Many people look for ways to make money on-line. The get paid to try sites are good money makers to both the administrator and the users that actually complete the offers. I am going to show you how to start a get paid to try site. This is a very easy task, but does take a lot of hard work and effort to build the site and keep it up, all while making your "customers" happy. (More...)

Get Paid to Try

As a stay at home mom, I will search for just about anything on the Internet that will make a little bit of money that will help make the ends meet. I have been for the last month working with get paid to try sites. I have come to find that there are hundreds of these sites that you can sign up for. (More...)

Update To My Dec. 22, 2006 Post

In my post on December 22, 2006 "It's easier pulling teeth..." than getting paid by "Snap Dollars," in all fairness I have to report that I finally received a check from them last week, four months after I requested it. I will never visit that website again though, but I'll continue with Treasure Trooper, Cash Crate, and the others I've listed on this site as they pay regularly and on time.

Don't Fall For This!

The links I have on this blog are merely websites I am suggesting because I received pay checks from them. I do not get paid when I refer you guys. Here is an example of a clever scam: This guy has an ad that reads "I've Been Scammed 37 Times." He gives a list of places that are scams but lists two that are not scams. Uh huh. That is a clever way of an affiliate selling a product or service. Check it out here.

" Is being able to earn real money from the internet a myth?"

That's a question that I asked myself for a long time, as I'm sure many of you have too. Well I'm here to tell you that it is not a myth. Myself and 3 other's have teamed together to review sites to see if they really do give away the money and prizes that they claim to. We have been at this non stop for 1 year this Feb. (07) and surprisingly, we have found several that are legitimate sites. (More...)

Make Over $200 a Month Just Clicking

One hour every morning before work, I log on and click on the paid emails that are sent to me. Just click, read, delete. Then I go to the Get Paid to Try sites (these are the ones that send daily paid emails) and do their daily cash surveys.

Sign up to as many sites as you want, the more you do, the more opportunities you get for paid email and daily cash surveys, therefore the more money you can make. It costs zero money to do this and it's really easy, fast and fun. I myself am registered with four and I average about $100 per month, just one hour in the morning reading four emails and doing four surveys.

I don't have time for more than four, but if you do, sign up for 20 and make $500 per month! This is totally realistic, it costs no money on your part and it's not a scam (I have received checks). Make as little or as much as you want, depending on how much time you want to put into it.

Can You Really Money Online? Not Really!

Theoretically, you can make money online, but it will cost you. Realistically, yes, but very little.

This blog does not make any money for me, so I have no reason to sell the idea. The truth is, if you want to make money, you would have to invest money (alot) in advertising to drive traffic to what you are selling. And even though you do get a lot of traffic, the odds are very low anyone is willing to whip out their credit card and buy anything. I had an affiliate link out there, and I got over 500 click-throughs in one month, but not a single purchase. Same thing with any affiliate program, including the famous "Click Bank." Overall, in three months I made about $20, and spent $400 in advertising. Statiscally, only 5% of the affiliates make 100% of the money.

In the "Get Paid to Try" programs, I made a few hundred, but you really need to keep on top of your "free trials" and cancel before your free trial is over so you will not be billed. I made more money with these programs than any other.

Adsense is a good one, but you need to have many, many website pages to generate any real income, and that is a lot of work. I did that too.

Purchasing a ready-made website that will make you $1,000 plus a day is pure B.S. Don't do it. I did, and I lost my money.

All in all, you can make some extra spending money for fun, but not as a full-time income. But if you are anything like me and you want to "give it a try" or see for yourself, I say do it. It was a lot of fun actually, and I learned a lot of things about a lot of different things!

Paid Surveys vs. Get Paid To Try

There really is a big difference between "paid survey" sites and "get paid to try" sites. The paid survey sites are just that, surveys. There are no offers to try, no free product trials, just surveys. These are good if you like doing surveys and don't want to try any products, services, etc. The key is signing up for a bunch of them so you can have multiple sources of income, and very importantly, fully complete your profile. Otherwise, they will not send many, if any, surveys for you to do.

The get paid to try sites are fun if you like trying out new products free for a month or so, and these pay pretty well. You can realistically make at least $100 a month per website so if you sign up for several, say ten, that's $1,000 per month. Just remember to cancel your trial offers if you are not interested before the trial period ends so you will not be charged. This way it is pure profit.
