Many people look for ways to earn a bit of extra cash online with no investment. The truth is that finding the true companies that allow you to do this is difficult. I have been searching for companies for well over three years and have found a few but the list is very slim.

The main resource people turn to to earn extra cash with no investment online is the survey companies. Many companies will allow you to sign up free of charge t take their so called paid surveys. Many times your time invested in the application is the only survey you ever receive. Over my three years I have signed up with over 200 companies and listed below is the only legit ones that I have found out of all of them.

* Pinecone Research- Site sends a survey or two approximately every month. Each survey pays $5.00. Payment is sent by check or paypal. These surveys are usually not over 10-15 minutes long. You may also receive household update surveys which are not paid but may qualify you for future paying surveys. These surveys are generally less than 5 minutes. The only way to join this panel is to find the Pinecone banner somewhere on the internet and sign up from it. You can not just go to their website and they do not have a referral program.

* NFO(My Survey)- This survey sends one to a few surveys each month. Each survey earns points that can be redeemed for merchandise,cash, or donated to charity. You get at least 10 points for taking the qualifying survey. If you qualify the survey will tell you how many points you will get to finish the actual survey and how long it should take to complete it. The longer the survey the more points you receive.

Many people today are also turning to the PTR (Paid to Read) and the PPC (Pay per Click) sites as a means of earning a bit of extra cash with no investment. These sites are just as tricky as the survey companies in trying to get people to use their companies and not being legit once you do. I have found many of these companies to be scams. I have only found around three that I trust.

* Inbox Dollars- Sends a few emails a day and you are paid mere pennies to click and read these emails. They also offer a few games and additional earning opportunities. If you take an offer you not only get paid for reading the offer but also the points the offer is good for. They also offer a paid survey each day worth a dollar if you
