Get Paid to Surf - Work from Home Series: Part 3

I know they say that "if it sounds to good to be true than it probably is" or be warey of any "get rich quick" schemes, but Paid to Surf Sites seem to be truly legitmate ventures if you need to make a quick buck. Of course like many ventures you are going to need money to make money. However, if you committed and patient you can truly do well.

Basically, you become a member at a Paid to Surf website and open up an account. You then log on and view a number of website for a few seconds. Once you have viewed a certain number you get a percentage of what is in your account. Often times these websites will give a small balance to start off with. For example Studio Traffic gives you $10.00 to start your account of with. However, to really make any significant money you need to upgrade your account.

I guess the best thing to do is to give you an example of how Paying to Surf works. Lets say you join a Paid to Surf Website, called I WANT MONEY NOW!!!. They give you $10.00 to start and you add $290.00 and upgrade your account. You then have $300.00 in your account. You surf the website for about 50 minutes and then you get 1% of what your account balence is for that day. So you make $3. You do this everday for a month and you then have made $90.00. You stick with it then in about 3 1/2 months you have made you money back. You continue to surf daily. You are not making $90.00 a month. The other nice thing is that many sites let you compound your earnings by continuely upgrading your account. See the example below.
This is if you began your account with $1000.00.
Month-------Account level-------- Earnings (per month)
Jan ----------$1000 --------------$300
Feb---------- $1300 --------------$390
March -------$1690 --------------$507
April ---------$2190 --------------$657
May ---------$2850-------------- $855
June ---------$3710-------------- $1113

So after six months you are actually earning $1113.00 per month which is more than you originally put in your account. If you choose to stop compounding at this point and withdraw your earnings monthly you are bringing in over $12,000 a year. You have made a profit of over $11,000. Not bad at all.

What's the risk? You aren't consistent and you don't surf daily. If you miss a day or two or even a week, it's not going to make much of a difference, but if you stop surfing you have lost your initial investment. Basically, the only risk is you.

Here are a list of top Paid to Surf Websites:

Studio Traffic - My favorite and the best well known. Make sure you check out their forum. They have 800 visitors a day. Also, everyone is more than happy to show you their payouts from Studio Traffic.

GCI Surf - This website is relatively new. They give 2% per day with a maximum daily pay out of $200.00. They actually invest the monies in the markets and that is where they get the revenue to provide the payouts. Along with your investment as well.

Paid Response - "Paid Response is operated by Aaron Bowering, founder of the Junkies Network and author of several marketing based eBooks (as seen at http://www.aaronbowering.com). He has created multiple communities and successful business throughout several years online within the telecommuting and marketing industries. With Aaron in control, there is no doubt that Paid Response will outlive and outlast its competitors".

12 Daily Pro - Not really sure about this one. You can earn 12% of your upgrades into your account, but you have to continue to upgrade and you can't upgade with your earnings. I checked out the forum and every states that no one has lost any money. You also only have to view 12 sites a day, which only takes about 5 minutes. I would read the fine print more on this one before joining.

I still think Studio Traffic is the best way to go.
