Projected for month end:
Get a second job? Wish I could, have been trying to do that for over 12 months. Altho I did have a second job for 3 months, but I had to give it up when I got a new position at work and had to attend in-house classes.
Hard part about where I live is there are only so many places to work and many people needing jobs; if you already have a job employers are reluctant to hire you over someone that doesn't have a job. Also my availablity is not very appealing, altho it is workable.
In order to "supplement" my income I have had to rely on the internet. When I am not at work I spend my time online, so finding something to earn money seemed to be the next logical step. So the search began on what to do to earn some money.
This is what I found:
PAID TO READ PROGRAMS: When I first was introduced to these programs I became quickly infatuated with them. I was soon to learn that they are not all they are cracked up to be. Of my original 20 or so programs I am now down to five, soon to be four. The reason for keeping the final four programs, they have paid me everytime with no problems for 3+ years.
(OK I really was hoping to use a banner link for this but can't figure out how it works. So will have to rely on a text link instead.)
That takes care of the PAID TO READ PROGRAMS. Just a few notes for reference: [1] These programs are not MLMs. [2] You are not required to "recruit" others to receive your payouts. [3] It is necessary to have Paypal to receive your payout. [4] You will not get rich with these programs as you can see by my totals $64 in 3 yrs. But please bare in mind I have absolutely no referrals in any of these progams. [5] The 4 programs above are programs I have been paid by with no troubles, they are all within the TOS. They are well run programs.
Hope this little beginning "primer" will help. Later I will talk about paid to click sites, paid to surf, paid online surveys, and affiliate programs.
