I still can't emphasize enough that the surf
for pay, offers and survey sites maintained by Marketing
Pond are the most trustworthy and reliable. Valerie keep her
sites updated for changes and any that do no pay or perform as
promised are deleted. I have listed the Marketing Pond and associated
Global Team Club sites on my listing in addition to three that have
so far been reliable.
I also have a listing of problem or scam
sites. Scams are
generally sites that do not pay for one reason or another and others
that were difficult to use or had a coding problems. -------------------------------
A Step by Step Guide
You Don't Need - Money
You Do Need:
Time
Ability to read English
-
A
Computer
-
Fast
Internet connection (dialup is too tedious)
-
At
least 2 new email accounts - Gmail is best
-
Paypal
account
-
Alertpay
account
-
A free log in program - I like Roboform.
The free version allows 10 free logins and identities. Use the identity
feature to fill in your registration details including favorite user
name and password. (Note the login program won't work well with sites
requiring additional security codes)
Step 1 Set up two new gmail accounts, one for
Paypal and AlertPay and the other for your contact email with the
surf for pay sites
Step 2 Set up your
Paypal
and AlertPay accounts
Step 3 Download the
free version of Roboform and enter in identity details including
custom field for AlertPay and Paypal email address
Step
4 Join the programs using your Identity in Roboform to
fill
in your information. The easiest way is to use the same user name for
all of them. Some of them will issue an ID # or password of their own
and send you a confirmation email. Open a Notepad file and copy and
paste the login info, payout minimum, description and referral
codes/banners for each program as you join. Be sure to bookmark each
login page. The newer browsers and Norton Utilities have the ability
to remember your passwords. Other security programs other than Norton
Utilities may have the same feature. Be warned, make a computer and
hard copy of your passwords, referral links and logins.
Step
5 Start surfing.
Step 6 Join
the list of traffic exchanges and viral advertising programs to refer
people to your programs. Enter the referral codes and be sure to
allocate traffic credits as they are earned.
Step 7
View ads in traffic exchange programs
to increase your
referrals. Enter the referral codes and be sure to allocate traffic
credits as they are earned.
Step 8 Post
ads in free classified to increase your referrals
Be cautious about upgrades, check forums to see if the site
pays. It might be a good idea to wait until you have received
payments. Paid to surf (PTC) sites sometimes drop off the map.
Buying referrals is a risky business. Get
your own referrals as
you have no way of knowing if a referral will be active.
Ask for payment as soon as you reach the
minimum payout amount.
Focus, you will be viewing many ads and some
will be very
persuasive. If necessary copy the url (link) of any interesting
website and paste to a "to do file" then visit when you
have time. If you follow up on very many during a surfing session you
won't get much work done.
Start a "swipe file" in notepad. Copy and
paste ad texts
and snippets that tempt you to click. You can use these snippets to
build your own ads for free classifieds.
Try to set a schedule for placing ads and
viewing. Keep in mind
that you can use a free ad tracking program to track the number of
hits an ad receives. If a site sends you 1 or 2 clicks every other
day, that is a keeper. Place ads during the day and by midday on
Tuesday.
If you want to earn income from home,
this is one way to achieve it without the
necessity
of your own website and specialized knowledge and skills. In other
words, no experience needed. Again, I want to emphasize that there
are sharks in the waters in internet land so it is best to stick to
the established sites featured by Marketing Pond.
