Instructions for Getting Started:

Before you begin the steps below please BOOKMARK this page!

1) Join each company listed on this website - there are NO FEES involved, you can join these companies for FREE and start earning right now. Please note that there are no commitment requirements, you don't need a credit card in order to make money and they will NOT ask you for any kind of a payment at all! This is not a get rich quick scheme - these are real companies that will reward you for various activities that you can do online from home.

2) Once you join each company you will need to confirm your membership via your email, so you must have a valid email address.

3) After you have confirmed your email you are ready to go! You can login to your account, and in most cases you can start earning right away. *Note - for the survey companies you will need to complete information about your demographics (this is all kept confidential) and you may have to wait for them to send survey invitations to your email, but most of the companies will allow you to start completing paid tasks or offers immediately after you login.

4) This is Optional: If you would like to earn even MORE money be sure to utilize each company's referral program. In other words, you can get paid to refer others to these companies! They can join and earn for FREE and you will earn money just for referring them. The best way to get referrals is to start a free blog (similiar to this one) and put it in your signature line in forums, message boards, etc. You can also promote it in places that allow free advertising. Just be sure to follow the rules of each forum or website - NO spamming aloud! :) You can get a free blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com. This is a great way to QUICKLY and EASILY increase your earnings!

That's It - Pretty Simple! Good Luck and Have Fun!

Note: You cannot earn a lot by only joining ONE company, HOWEVER, you can earn some money from each company and it can really add up! That is why it is important to join ALL of the companies listed here - remember they are all 100% free to join. I have been a member of most of these companies for years, so rest assured that they are real and they do pay! :)

YouData - Get Paid to View Ads Online

YouData will pay you to view advertisements online. We should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, you can control what ads you see and when you see them. Best part - you will be selling your attention directly to interested advertisers, for REAL money. That's right, you will get paid just for giving them your attention! You can also earn money by referring others. Edited on 7/28/09 to add this NOTE: They will ask you for your cell phone number but don't worry, I gave it to them when I joined and they have never called me. They just simply require that you verify your account with a text message they send you over your phone, along with verifing your email address. You will also need to install an Adobe "ad player" in order to view the ads - no big deal though and did not cause me any problems. They pay weekly through Paypal and I have been paid by them every week since I joined! Sign Up Online Now - It's Free!
