will let you join the program and sell their products without paying any fee at all. If they let you be a part of the program without asking you for money up front, it is probably legitimate.

Here's a quick tip for you that want to get involved with the "paid to read email" programs out there. Take a look at the minimum payout amount. That's the level you have to accumulate in your account before they will actually pay you. If it's $50 or more, you can bet they will never pay you. They will fold the business and keep all the money before you ever get paid. Look for the ones that have a low minimum payout like $5 or less. I still belong to one that has a minimum payout of 10 cents and I get paid every month.

One last thing you absolutely MUST do when you are considering joining any program is to read the TOS or Terms of Service. They will have a link to it at the bottom of the page or somewhere on the site. If they don't, then that's another sign it's a scam. Any legit program will have there TOS page easy to find and they will spell out all the details of how the business works. If there is any "fine print" to be found, it will be here.

If you want more information on good programs and the scams and links to the scam reporting sites, visit www.allwebsuccess.com and read the "affiliate program" page and the "get paid to read email" page.

Good luck and thanks for reading.
