ALT-1 Making Money on the Internet
We have all been tempted or fell victim to the allure of the promise of getting rich on the Internet. We have tried this or that only to find that getting rich is simply not possible! The old saying if it is too good to be true it probably is a scam once again plays through your mind each time you are tempted. The downfalls leave you wondering are there really any way to make money on the Internet? The truth is yes you can make a bit of money on the Internet! You will not get rich and probably not even be able to pay any large amounts of bills but you can earn a bit of extra money! How can you earn money on the Internet?
Paid surveys are the first attempt many people use to make money online. I have searched for years to find legit companies that keep their promises on payments. I have found very few but here is a list of the few I have found that you may want to consider using. You will not get rich as I said before but a few extra bucks ever now and then can make you smile a bit.
- National Family Opinion (NFO) - This site is wonderful about sending surveys and the way they reimburse you for your time. The company sends an email when they have a survey you may qualify for. You can click on the link in the survey to be taken to the NFO website. Once on the website you log in to your account which allows you access to the survey you were invited to. The screening questions will be the start of the survey if you qualify you get the points that was stated in the email you received plus the extra for taking the full survey, if you do not qualify for the full survey you still get the points that was listed in the email! In other words you are rewarded a bit for your time regardless of whether you take the full survey or not. Not many sites do this! Points are collected and can then be redeemed for prizes, cash, or merchandise. Link http://fun.mysurvey.com/ can get you started today!
- Americanconsumerpanel.com (ACOP) - This site does not send many surveys but many times allows you to test a product in your home when you are contacted. Most times the product test will also include a payment incentive. If you do not qualify for the survey you are sent you do not get any type of reward. Joining ACOP can be done from their website at americanconsumerpanel.com
- Mypoints.com is not a survey site but is similar. You are sent emails and for each email you read you earn 5 points. If you accept the offer in the email you earn additional points, which are stated in the email you receive. You will receive plenty of emails from this company. Points can be redeemed for gift cards to various locations.
Many people also choose to try auction sites to earn a bit of extra income. This can be a great idea if you chose to auction off items that require little investment on your part. Wholesale items can be wonderful finds for auction seekers!
- Ebay.com offers a large auction site for a small fee. Membership can be established quickly, easily, and it is free with a paid email subscription that most people have through their Internet service provider. Ebay has all types of items they offer on their auction site so almost anything can be placed up for bid. Ebay is one of the largest online auction sites to date. Many visitors scan the site for rare finds daily!
- Amazon.com is another auction site giant. The site offers both new and used items. Amazon is also very well known and has a large amount of visitors daily. Amazon offers many unique items that allows for a large range of categories to sell your items in.
- Localsalesnetwork.com offers a great auction experience for both sellers and buyers. The site is quite well known in my area but is not as much of a mass site as Ebay and Amazon. Due to less people knowing about it LSN has less visitors than the other auction sites. LSN will allow you to not only list items to sell but also things to give away!
If you find that surveys and auctions are not for you, you may still be able to make a bit of money on the Internet. Sites such as this one Helium Knowledge allows you to earn a bit of cash from your writing. There are other similar sites that will allow you to earn cash for writing, photos, etc.
When looking to earn money online there are many options. Many of those options are scams. You must be careful when seeking cash online or else you may end up losing more than you ever make. Never pay for lists of survey companies, to work at home, etc. A legit job will pay you not have you pay them. Before signing up with any work at home company check forums to see others experience with the company. Some of the best places to check up on a potential site is right here at Helium Knowledge and getpaidhwy.com which is a forum made up of a group of people who tell others about their success and failures with work at home gigs.
