High yield investment programs (HYIP) return high yields on your investment but are also high risk and of limited duration. Get in early with a sum you can afford to loose and earn 20% daily for a few days or 2% daily for a few weeks/months. Most use 'e-currency' so you will need to open free accounts here... To help in deciding which programs to invest in and when to pull out I have kept the statistics of several sites that have closed. This is a very volatile market but can be very profitable and exciting. A more detailed description is here.
Playing the Foreign Exchange markets. A very volatile area where returns can be huge. More details on another page here...

Trickle income, like these sites below, build up a bank balance, give you confidence and earn you some funds to invest in HYIP or other programs that require you to deposit money first.
Pay to Click (PTC) sites
pay you a cent or less to click on advertisements every 24 hours. It may not
sound much but it adds up while only a little time is required each day.
Remember, you can click and earn from the same ad once every day.
The following Bux sites are reliable and have $2 to $10 minimum payouts:- Neobux (proof), BuxP(proof) OnBux (new from Neobux- click on 'Register'
to join). Here is a tutorial on how to use Neobux which is useful
for those who wish to translate the instructions from English..
DonkeyMails still popular after
years online - the classic 'paid mail' and PTC program. (proof)
ClixSense is another established
program that pays 1c a click and also good for buying your own ads. It is best
for Premium upgrade members (which costs from $10) as you will get many more
links to click on and earn..
Bookmark your log-in page, remember your password and check your account
several times daily for ads to click on.
You can upgrade your account by purchasing referrals.
Wait for the ad to load and then watch the 10 to 30 second timer count down. If
you open two ads at the same time you will be paid for none of them. Be fair to
the advertisers.
You can earn about 4c to 10c daily from one Bux/Mail site as a free member but
a lot more if you upgrade. If you join 10 similar sites you can earn $1 a day
in 30 minutes even without buying referrals!
Remember to bookmark this page and all the sites you join to make it easier to
return daily.
MyLot is a great program for people who like to chat and earn a few cents a day at the same time! The range of subjects is enormous and from all over the world. Upload pictures from your computer, list your passions and other features. But beware - this program can become infectious!! Payment is by PayPal so you will need to get a free PayPal account . I have been paid 23 times by MyLot -here is June and July
Bukisa will pay you for submitting short articles on a wide variety of subjects. This site is aimed at the more knowledgeable surfer who has the expertise to pass on their experience in good English. Pay is based on 1000 views of your articles at a rate that varies with the site income. At the moment this is between $3 and $4 CPM. Payout minimum is $10. Here is a tutorial on how to submit content and here is an example of an article on web site stats . Here is proof of payment to me.
GetPaidTo join programs!
Sign up for any of the 1550 free cash offers available and get paid instantly
through Paypal. For instance, join Ebay and get $7 (so long as you are not
already a member). Low minimum payout of $0.50 which you can earn in minutes
with a daily survey. Free to join. Open only to USA,
Canada and UK residents,
like a lot of these GPT programs. Most offers are free but some require a
purchase which are clearly marked. Please be truthful when joining and giving
information and best to use a dedicated email
address as you will get many replies.
Go here to see the payment
process and proof of payment to my PayPal account
And here are some tips on how to do offers and set up your PC
to earn with GPT programs.
Gaming Lagoon started in 2006 and from the same
stable as GetPaidTo.
Some free offers include getting paid to download and play free games; download
and install screen savers; download and install a toolbar; take part in surveys
and more.
For offers that you purchase you will get cash back. Useful where you are
buying software (like for PC Speed Optimization ) or ebooks; getting a loan;
buying tickets; and more.
To use the site:-
1. Check the Complete Offers page. New offers are added each day
2. Read the directions for the offer and fill it out. Reading the Terms of
Services and full completion will assure your offers approval. Once you're
done, click the green checkmark to mark the offer completed.
3. Wait while the offer is sent for approval. If approved you will receive the
points or cash. Get what you want with the points or convert to cash. One point
is just under a dollar. This site pays OK.
For sites where you earn by clicking on a link to make a search. Here is a tutorial on how to make a valid search . It will take longer than the 40 seconds shown to finish loading three pages but if the advertiser doesn't get paid, you wont get the links in the future.
Points is aimed at UK/Euro surfers comparing
prices of goods.
An example of how Rpoints worked to save me 36% off my UK car
insurance is here...
This shows that you can save money and make money using Rpoints.
Rpoints is a great tool to use when trying to find the best deal, you can find
deals on almost everything from life
insurance to new computer
software.
I also received £20 (2,000 points) cashback for opening an Egg credit card. It
really works!.
Go to 'easy money' then 'recurring' where comparing prices earns about 2p to 6p
a click up to a max of about £1 a day. Rpoints are ultra-cautious about
awarding points. They take days to check, then credit, your points and then a
month or more to validate them before you can cash in. A good forum explains
all this. But, once the ball is rolling and you're clicking every day, the cash
rolls into PayPal at £5 minimum a time and in £sterling too so you can have
dollar and sterling PayPal accounts to save on exchange rates.
Surveys for payment or prizes.
Get paid by manufacturers for your opinions on their products. All of these are
free to join and really do pay. There are many survey scams on the Net and even
some where they require payment from you. You should never have to pay to take
part.
Cash Crate has been paying for
over 4 years with over 2 million members and pays worldwide although most
surveys are for US, Canada
and Europe. Sign up from the UK, for
instance, and you get 52 options to complete offers, take surveys or shop
online with payments ranging from 50 cents to $15. You get points for playing
Flash games as well - good fun! They have a 'payment wall' where members post
photos of their payments.
High Payouts from 'free to
join' programs.
Normally I avoid very high payout programs where it sometimes takes a year to
reach the minimum by which time the site may have vanished!
You WILL get paid with these programs; about $35 to $50 a month for just these programs and there are dozens more to choose from. Join up, add to your favourites or put an icon on your desktop by dragging on a links page for each program and visit the sites at intervals through the day and earn a bit each time. It soon adds up.
I can get you referrals. Contact me for details on how its done.
TIPS -
1. Right click on the log-in page for each program and save a shortcut link to
your desktop, or, Add to
your Favourites in a new folder, named Daily, for instance. Much easier to remember your daily earning
sites by double clicking on the icons or links.
2. Write the address and log-in details for each site in the back of your
diary. It is easy to forget your user name and password and you can continue to
earn money on another pc when away from home.
3. Get into the habit of regular visits. Most sites will cancel your account if
you don't make use of it and any money earned will be lost.
4. Contact me if you need help or advice.

The final group of earning programs can be
placed on your own web site.
First you need a website with content interesting
enough to attract visitors.
Think of a subject that you know a lot about -
you, your family, your job, your hobby - whatever it is, focus on it and
provide detailed information; facts, figures. Try to make your web site the
definitive source of information on your chosen subject. A good tutorial on
making a web site from start to finish is at HillofCash.com.
With a web site designed you need a domain name and a hosting service. It is like an address to the house where your web site lives. I use easily to buy my domain names with Hawk Host indicted to host them. Both companies give excellent service and support, though Hawk host is my first choice at the moment.
Promote your website using the points earned from working the PTS, PTR and PTC you joined above in section three and to get referrals to sign up under you. See a study on Promotion
There are many sites that will generate traffic to your web site. Sites that generate traffic automatically like Quiet Hits will produce a large number of hits but the visitor will only look at your page briefly. Visits from real people have more value and some of the best suppliers areEasyHits4U and Traffic Swarm. You may visit member's sites and so earn a visit to your site from a member. You can also purchase visits from a particular class of surfer to match your site content.DonkeyMails also has a manual surf section as well as earning from Pay to Read emails and Pay to Click sections so you can visit all the sections in turn and earn and get traffic at the same time.
Once you have a web site with solid content you have a 'product' to sell. Many of the top programs will not accept you as an affiliate unless you have a web site of substance.
The star payer is Google AdSense. They pay for clicks and pay very well and cleverly match their ads to the content of your page. Minimum payout is $100 by cheque.
A good affiliate scheme is Trade Doubler . where you can join up for free to any of dozens of schemes under one 'roof' . All affiliate schemes have a minimum payout limit of around $50 so grouping schemes together as with Trade Doubler . [aimed at European web sites] and Commission Junction [aimed at North America but covering the world] means that you can get a cheque earlier.
Lots of companies would love you to join them as an affiliate
and will pay you a commission when your visitors buy some of their products. It
makes sense to join up with companies compatible with your site. Amazon sell a lot more than just books now and
pay 5% to 7.5% commission by targeting specific goods with a link from your
site.
Brave net has a lot of free goodies to add to your web site to attract
more visitors and can help in setting up and hosting a web site with a free
domain name. They also offer 50mb of free space on their servers to store your
password protected back-up files and sensitive data. A well respected site of
long standing..
Banner advertisements, love 'em or hate 'em, are part of
the Net. Place these standard sized banners from AdBrite on your page and
earn up to $1/1000 impressions depending on validity of visitor. Note that
these are impressions or CPM rates, your visitor just has to see them, they do
not have to click on the ads or buy anything. That is why the rates are lower
than ' pay per click ' banners. AdBrite pay out monthly by cheque for earnings over $50 and pay me
regularly.
Pop-under windows are better selling tools than banners and PopupTraffic.com will pay you up to $1.80/1000 impressions. This is the best you will get on the net and they pay monthly without fail. Popup killer browsers have changed the market so they only supply pop-unders but with anti-killer code that works with the major browsers. A busy site will still earn more than the $25 minimum for a cheque to be sent each month. They are now open to international affiliates and pop-under earnings.
Remember, these are all free to join; you have no outgoings
other than your normal internet connection which you have anyway. To be
perfectly frank, the only downside to these deals is that it takes up your time
to organise the links, and your browser and/or web site will run a bit slower
while advertising banners load.
The Internet is fast changing - please let us know if a
good deal comes along or if you find a crooked deal; contact simetric.co.uk and we will check
it out and give it an unbiased opinion.
