Earning money by being a stay at home mum

Is it really possible to make money on the internet? Many people would say no it is full of scams. But why do they think this, I mean you can do everything else online, why not make money. You can book a holiday, theatre tickets, tickets to see Madonna, do your shopping, check the weather, do an online course, chat to friends, you name it,you can do it over the internet. Making money online is a real possibility too if you know where to look. There are several different possibilities each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

1) Paid to click/Paid to read

There are literally thousands of these type of sites on the internet, some pay and some do not. The whole concept is based on advertising, and you are paid normally one cent for each ad you click, or even less for each mail you read. Not a get rich quick scheme by any means, and one I would recommend avoiding. As soon as these sites start up and entice members into buying premium memberships and referrals they close up shop and the admin runs with your money, definitely avoid the high paying sites. In saying that there are a few trusted ones, namely Neobux, Incentria and Wordlinx. With regards to paid emails I would recommend No-minimum which has been around for years. I still use Neobux but do not feel my time should be wasted with such low paying opportunities.

2) Paid autosurfs/HYIPs

These are high risk investment sites where you invest anything from $1 to $10 000 and have the possibility of making anything from 0.1% to 15% daily depending on the site in question. Ninety-nine percent of these sites are scams. They pay people initially to lure them into investing big and then they stop paying and once again mr admin runs away with a substantial profit. Here again though you can play admin at his own game. At the start of these sites lifecycle admin pays regularly so you can invest big at the start, and then only invest some of your profits so that you will always be at a gain. I do know of some people who play this game extremely well and do make quite a large sum of cash on a regular basis, unfortunately I am not lucky enough to be one of them. This is another opportunity I would avoid unless you like the excitement involved with taking risks.

3) Paid to post

Another type of site where I began my internet money making, It all started with mylot where you are paid 1-2 cents for starting discussions, responding to discussions and posting images to accompany your discussions.
