Series 3: 5 Surefire Ways To Earn Extra Cash Online

Get Paid to Write

If you have a knack for writing, this one is for you.

In making money online, “Content is king”. This phrase has been proven to be true over time. However, many webmasters find it hard to create content for several reasons mostly due to other commitments. Because of this, a lot of webmasters outsource their content. They look for writers to help them out by creating content for their website, or for creating articles to promote their website.
Most website owners will be more than happy to hire someone to help them by creating content for their webpage. Therefore many website owners look to hire people to help write content for their site. Many of these website owners are willing to pay people on an article-produced basis – paying a certain amount of money for every article that the writer is able to generate.

The typical rate for a 400 word article to be created is around $10. Interest and/or experience in a certain subject can be an advantage when creating content on specific topics or for targeted audience. In this case, the arrangement is beneficial for all parties involved. The website owner generates content and is willing to pay someone to write this content while the writer is interested in the subject of the website and is willing to write and get paid for the articles.
Below is a list of website where you can submit your writings and get paid:

Pay-per-post
Helium
Reviewstream
Blogsvertise
Triond

Being paid to write articles online can be a very lucrative job, and is especially worth doing if you enjoy writing. To start writing articles it is recommended that you have good knowledge of the English language, and is willing to work for short deadlines.

Creating some articles to be used as a portfolio for your writing skills can be worthwhile to show potential employers your writing skills. This can be very helpful in trying to impress them and urge them to hire you. Also, as mentioned in my previous posts, it is recommended that you have a Paypal account set up, or any other popular online-payment method. This is to ensure that you can get easily paid for your writing work.

Series 2: 5 Surefire Ways To Earn Extra Cash Online








Get Paid to Read

Paid-to-read (PTR) programs works similar to PTC programs. The only difference is that, the ads are sent to your email inbox or to the "Internal Mailbox" of your account found in the PTR website. For ads sent directly to your email inbox, you may open it and click the link directly from your email then a new window will open, let it run for a few seconds until you get credit. For those that are sent to your internal mailbox, you will recieve a notification in your email that you have a commercial email waiting to be viewed in your internal mailbox. You need visit the website and log on to your account with the username and password you provided during the registration. Then, open the email messages and click the Paid Ad link and let it run for a few seconds, usually 30 seconds to get credit.

These programs pays from $0.0025-$0.02 per ads and minimum payout varies. Unlike PTC there are less ads on PTR, around 2-5 ads per day only. However, there are other programs integrated such as “Get Paid to Sign Up" or "Get Paid to Complete Offers”. Other PTR programs also have PTC programs integrated in their system.

You will also need to sign up to create an account. But before you do, I would suggest that you open a separate email account intended just for this purpose unless you want to mess your inbox with a lot of spam that goes with the paid email messages. Also, do not use a yahoo and hotmail account because it sends the paid ad messages to your Bulk Mail or Spam folder.

Below are some of the trusted PTR programs that I’ve tried and tested. Click on the link to sign up and start recieving paid emails.

Series 1


Get Paid To Click Ads

A Paid-to-click (PTC) site, as the term suggest, pays you to watch ads for certain duration of time (usually 30 seconds). These programs pays from $0.0025-$0.015 per ads viewed and usually there are 10-20 ads to view in a day. You need to register at the site and click the “View Ads” or “Surf Ads” button then click on the links listed to open the and wait for the timer to stop to get credit. You can view your earnings on “Stats” or “Members” section once you’re logged on. You can only click the ads once every 24 hours so you need go back to the site the next day and click them again to increase your earnings. Also, you cannot view more than one ad at the same time; you need to finish viewing the first ad before you can click another one. Otherwise, your account will not be credited.

There are two ways to join this program; 1) You can join as a Premium member which will cost you a few dollars depending the package but comes with a lot of benfits and more opportunity to increase your inxome 2) you can join as a Standard or Free Member which will not cost you anything and start earning. I recommend for beginners to join as a Standard member first but you may opt to upgrade your membership to Premium later.

There are many Paid-to-click sites on the internet but you need to be careful in choosing the PTC programs you will join because many of them are just scam. Below are Top 5 PTC sites I highly recommend. Click on the link below to sign up and start earning.

Bux.to
DailyClicks
Bux3.com
FoxCash
Clixsense

Other recommended PTC Programs:

Earn3
Bux3.net

Once you join these sites you will need referrals to help you increase your earnings sooner instead of doing it by yourself. In later articles, I will teach you how to get referrals. In the meantime, click on the links above and make sure to read and understand the Terms of Service (TOS) or Terms and Conditions of each webdite so you can avoid violations that may lead to termination of your account. Also, please remember that you need to reach the minimum payout before you can cash out your earnings. Minimum Payout is the minimum amount of earnings that you need to accumulate before you can request payment or cash out your earnings. It ranges from $2.00-$10.00 depending on the site.

On the 2nd series of this article, I will discuss another online income opportunity and provide you with links to these programs.

Getting Started..

In my first article I discussed about the two (2) things one MUST have to succeed in online money making – motivation and hard work. This week I will discuss two other important elements in making money online – knowledge base and patience.

There are various ways to make money online which I will discuss in further details on my next articles. I know you’re excited to get started, I was excited too when I first discovered the opportunity of earning extra cash online. And because of my excitement I signed up to every program I come across through the internet and even paid small fees for some of them but just like what I’ve said on my first article, I got scammed! But the good side of it is I learned, and I want to share what I’ve learned to you so that you can avoid from making the same mistakes that I did. Oftentimes too much excitement leads us to make quick decisions without really studying the situation first. This mistake is also common in online money making, many fall into the traps of internet marketing due to inadequate/misleading information. But this kind of mistake can be avoided if you have the right knowledge base.

Like any business, you need to invest first for you to be able to gain profit. And when I say invest I don’t mean spending money or purchasing something, I mean putting some time and effort. You need to build up your knowledge base first to make you profitable in the end and this will take some patience. As I have mentioned in my previous article, the opportunities I will present to you are not “Get Rich Quick” type of programs, these are legitimate programs that pay but they require some time and effort especially when you’re just starting. So you need to get yourself ready to work. But don’t worry, I will try to guide you every step of the way as I have promised. I will provide you with links to legitimate online jobs that I myself have tried and give you some helpful tips on how you can maximize your gains.

On my next article, I will discuss the “Five Surefire Ways To Earn Extra Cash Online”, I know you’ve been waiting for this. I will talk about the most common methods in making money from the internet without spending a single cent or purchasing some things that are of no value. And as we go on, I will keep you updated with my latest discovery of opportunities available on the internet.

In the meantime, I would like to suggest that you begin setting-up your online payment system to get you started. An online payment account is where your earnings or payments from the programs you signed up will be sent. Most internet based programs will require you to have an online payment account during the registration or when signing up. The two most popular of these online payment systems are as follows:

PayPal - PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. PayPal has quickly become a global leader in online payment solutions with more than 153 million accounts worldwide. Available in 190 markets and 17 currencies around the world, PayPal enables global e-commerce by making payments possible across different locations, currencies, and languages.

Two Things You Must Have To Succeed In Online Money Making..

If you try to surf the internet to find out the requirements in starting internet based and work at home programs, you would probably get answers such as a particular computer equipment, software download and/or installation, internet connection, and some typing skills. Some would even require you to pay a certain amount in exchange for "guaranteed jobs". While these equipments maybe necessary, having these tools and skills will not give you a guaranteed success. So, you’re probably marveling, are there any guarantees that I will succeed in making money online?

To be honest with you there’s no guarantee of success in making money online. Too bad, isn’t it? Yet it’s true. BUT the good news is, you can succeed and it’s entirely up to you! So what do you really need to succeed in making money online?

1) Motivation

I would like to start with what I consider the most basic – motivation. You may have the latest computer model, the sharpest software installed, the fastest internet connection, and the highest typing skills rate in the entire universe but guess what? If you don’t have enough motivation you will not succeed.

I wanted to buy a new laptop. This was my main reason when I first started looking for online and home-based jobs that I can do during my spare time. There are various reasons why people engage in a particular activity or behave in a particular way. These reasons may include fulfilling the basic needs such as food or a desired object such as a laptop or a car, etc. or it maybe as simple as a desire to have fun. For example, why are you reading this article? What motivates you?

Like any other activity, motivation is a key in order for you to succeed in making and maximizing profit from the internet. You need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you don't have motivation, you won't get far.

One very important motivator is Interest. Another is a Desire to Learn. These two things always go together and one is useless without the other. You need to link these two for you to create success. Often interest in an endeavor leads to a desire to learn. On the other hand, more learning leads to a greater interest creating an upward spiral of motivation toward a goal you have established.

So be honest with yourself. Are you genuinely interested in making money online? Have you set realistic goals for yourself?

2) Hard Work

DOING is as important as KNOWING. There is a vast of information you can find in books and the internet about all sorts of topics including How to’s but these information are of no value to a person if he/she does not benefit from it. While it is true that knowledge is power, it is the ability to utilize knowledge to solve real world problems or act on something that generates result.

You probably came across already with a number of websites and work at home programs that promise you to “Get Rich Quick” with little or no hard work required. Some of you may even have been a victim of this widely proliferating internet scams. The bad news is there’s no such thing as “Get Rich Quick” in online money making. If you happen to stumble to any of these programs, it’s most likely a scam. I know because I have been a victim of numerous internet scam too. It took me days, weeks, even months before I discovered how to make my PC a cash machine for real. But the opportunity to make money from the internet is real and hard work along with the right knowledge base is a pre-requisite in order to generate good result.

So, if you think you posses the two basic requirements mentioned above then you’re ready to start making money online. On my next posts I will discuss where and how to start. I will provide you with links and several resources you can use for FREE and walk you through step-by-step as much as I can. So do check back for new articles.
