Since the inception of home computing, there have been people trying to use the internet to make money online. More and more people see it as a way to get rich or at least make a living without having to leave the comfort of their living room. It’s a very attractive prospect really, no more commuting through traffic day in and day out. Think of the money you would save in gas alone. Just get out of bed in the morning, grab a cup of coffee and sit down in front of the computer to bring home the bacon. What could be easier?

Well, as it turns out, making money online isn't all that hard. There are some really easy ways to make money online and anyone can use them to pick up some extra cash, but making a living or getting rich isn’t quite as easy as some of the programs hyped online will have you believe. Just remember as you search for internet income, there are no “get rich quick” programs that actually work. However, with some time, effort and perseverance, one can make a decent amount of money online.

PTC - The easiest ways, or the ones that take the least amount of effort to do, are unfortunately the ones that have the least amount of earning potential, but if you want easy, it doesn’t get any easier than PTC or “paid to click”. Once you sign up, you will get emails with advertisers links or you will go to the program site and click on advertisers links and get paid a small amount of money for each link clicked and site viewed. You will only get paid one or two cents per click which isn’t much but then again, all you are doing is clicking a link and visiting a website, so there’s not much effort involved.

You can also make more with these programs by recruiting others to join and you’ll make an even smaller amount per click for their activity as well as your own. Some people get into this in a big way, joining many sites and recruiting others into their “downline”. The downside to these programs is that you won’t make much money for the time spent doing them but you will be able to pick up a few extra dollars per month for next to no effort. You can increase your earnings somewhat by building up a sizable downline if they stay active in the program every month.

SURVEYS - You can also get paid for taking surveys and they pay better than PTC.  Paid survey sites will pay you for filling out surveys online and there are plenty of sites that are free to join so don’t fall for
