We all know how hard it is to make ends meet without a full-time job. But, what exactly is a job? A job is just doing a service for someone who is willing to pay you for it.

Have you ever wanted to start an online business? So have I. A business is providing a service, usually a product of some type, to someone who needs it. But, what if someone doesn't need a service or doesn't know that they want that service, or what if that person doesn't know that the service is even exists? That's why advertisement is required and that's why the Internet is the perfect place to advertise.

Where am I going with this?

Its possible to have a business online without having a real product. Many companies will pay just for you to look at a product or try the product out in the hope that you will buy or refer it. Its advertisement.

However, by themselves, these companies will not pay you enough or offer you enough trials to make a living off of. For this reason, you must sign up with many of these companies. You can also refer people and most them will pay you 10% of what each one of those referrals make. This can be lucrative.

There are scams, though, and it can be very frustrating to find out that you spent a lot of time finding them just for them to refer you to some other website that will do the same. I have tested many out and have earned a fair amount of cash with little effort on some and less on others where I put a great deal of time in.

I have all the Pros and Cons of each laid out for you here; you can weigh them yourself and see if they are worth the effort. I also have a list of websites you should never consider, with my own reasons why. I'll have updated news and links directly to sign up pages. Please use them, I won't refer you any bad sites. If I can't make you good money, I won't be making any.

If ever you have questions, complaints or comments about my page or any of my referrals, email me.

Using Your Time Efficiently

It's important that you know how much time you are willing to spend on earning money. It's essentially a home business, so there's no one there to tell you when to clock in and clock out. There's no getting paid by the hour and thus there is no quota to meet or no supervisors to check up on you. It's all up to you to make sure you get the work done. So, its neccesary for you to understand that you must efficiently use your time for how much of it you are willing to spend doing this.

I have a few guidelines that may help depending on what you are focusing on:
Pay-To-Read (Reading Emails)-

-Stay away from the sites I've blacklisted. I've saved you the trouble of signing up for dead-end ones. These ones don't pay enough for it to be worth it. If you believe you have the extra time to deal with them, atleast stay away from them until you have a good deal of income already coming in. Then you won't risk as much.
-Don't read emails that offer less than $0.025. These are a waste of your time, if it takes more than 4 email readings to get a penny, don't even entertain that. You're wasting time you could be spending earning real money. There isn't enough time in the day to waste on that.
-If emails offer you points to trade in for cash, leave them alone. This is inefficient. If they offer points for cash, they are getting your half of the cash and keeping it for themselves so they can sell you your amount for less. Even if it was a fair deal, you still have to take time to do what they should have.

Pay-To-Click (view ads)-

-Some of these sites don't allow you to have multiple windows open while viewing ads. Its important that you go from one right to the next to efficiently earn money while doing this.
-View all the higher paying ads first. You may never know when your computer might force a shut down or when your internet browser might have a fatal error that causes you to restart or reload the page.
-Enable cookies. If cookies are not enabled, you may not get credited for ads you have viewed. This is vital. You don't want to waste all that time viewing ads and have that money not be credited to your account.

Pay-To-Try (Purchases, Trial offers, and Surveys)-

-Don't sign up for any trial offers or purchase any products where the pay out is not three times or more of what you pay. You'll just end up having to pay more to make the difference.
-Do not forsake those free offers. Daily surveys, product testing. These are acceptable even if the pay is not high. Some of them pay up to $6.00.
-Cancel Trial offers before the trial period is up if don't find much use for it, or if you didn't care much for it. Don't pay for anything you don't want.

General Guidelines-

-Build a downline. I cannot stress this enough. You can't even dream of making any serious money without one. Read my Building A Downline post in the Knowledge Center section, its imperative.
-Stay away from sites that are on the Not Recommended list. A waste of time.
-Read very carfully the Pros and Cons of the sites I have listed. Some of them you might not want to join even I've recommended them, some may not suit you because of your limited time. In this case, join the ones I've listed with higher pay-outs or lower minimum cashout.
-Sign Up for Premium and Gold Memberships to get special benefits, like referrals and lower minimum cashouts. This helps alot.

All in all, use these guidelines to help you become more efficient with your time. This is very important. If you discover other methods that work, use those as well. Anything you can do to make more in less time is key.
