At first, the concept of earning money simply by searching the web seemed a bit unreal. However after registering with MySearchFunds I found out it really works that way.

MySearchFunds is a company working with the biggest search engines out there, such as Ask.com, Google and Yahoo and has a pretty simple Modus Operandi. After registering with them you upgrade the search box in your browser (works only with IE7 and Firefox, however if you're using other browsers they offer you alternative method of making searches) and the whole thing starts.

Using that search box, you search the Internet like you did before and the results you're getting are equally accurate. So technically nothing changes.
Apart from you earning money.

How does it look from that angle?
Well, you earn on average 0,01 per search (yes, you are getting paid in British pounds), or as it's said officially 50% of the total search revenue. You can get paid via Paypal or via UK Bank Transfer. They send you the money after you reach the minimum of 20, 45 days after the month ends.
The fun part is that you can upgrade the search box on more than one computer. I have the MySearchFunds box on both computers at home, at my computer station at work and at my sister's.

Like any good online moneymaker, you are also offered the possibility to get referrals. And you are paid 3 levels down. Earning respectively 10% from the revenue your friends make, 5% from your friends' friends and 2,5% from your friends' friends' friends.

Who should pay extra attention to this opportunity?
I wouldn't recommend it as your main source of income. If you're searching for the sake of searching, sooner or later you're going to run out of ideas of what to search And let's face it; it would be a huge waste of your time.

However, it's a great way to make some extra money, for something you'd be doing anyway. Writers, bloggers or researchers, who spend hours searching the Internet for information they need for their project, could really profit from doing just that. Especially given the fact that the results come from the most popular search engines.

Another advantage of this program is the fact that the British currency is really strong, stronger than the American dollar. So it is in fact more profitable than any other online moneymaking program, because most of other online opportunities pay their participants in USD.

I know it all sounds really interesting. It really is and personally, I'm in love with MySearchFunds. But it does have a certain drawback. So far I couldn't find a way to register with the program without being referred first. But then again, it does make sense if the referrals are one of two ways MySearchFunds earn their money.
On the other hand, any resourceful person can find a friend or two to send them an invite.
