Which of the thousands of online income opportunities are ethical and actually pay as represented?

And which ones are dirty rotten scams?

We have a complex screening and decision process to go through before we add any new cash generation programs. So if you'd like to leverage this and also join any or all of the programs we participate in, feel free to do so with our blessing. But PLEASE be sure to remember not to spend or risk any funds that you need to pay the bills! No matter how good an opportunity looks, these types of things have high failure rates! So why mess with it? Unless they are scams, they often pay very well until they do fail, which often takes a long time, so it can be well worth the risk to make many times your money in the meantime, and lose a small portion of the profits at the end. We monitor these opportunities every day, note it in the comments field if we think they are having problems and remove them promptly if they fail us in any way. Plus we refuse to be involved in anything illegal, excessively complicated, overly risky, or requiring that we send any emails to solicit friends, family or anyone we know or even don't know.

The secret to success in these opportunities is to consistently over time put similar amounts into many different programs and keep them going at reasonable levels, often the same level initially placed into them. This way if one fails without paying, it is only a minor setback, not a wipeout. Retrieve your initial investments in each of them as soon as you can without crippling the program's ability to keep generating, and then proceed after that using only funds the program has generated. Beyond this, take out about half of the income for yourself as you go, because that is how you get paid along the way. Don't pyramid the funds in any one place. Be patient, it takes time to build something solid. And please remember "That which is gained overnight is usually lost in a similar amount of time."

Please consider using the links below to sign up, because we'll generally get a small commission for referring you (which costs you nothing). On this opportunity monitoring page there is No voting (which gets spammed by program promoters) or inane chatter (by reactionary mental midgets playing on emotions and wasting time). Only complete and truthful information from someone who has already put their money where their mouth is. Keep in mind, the higher payers are also generally higher risk. Put in place a good base of lower paying programs in comparison to how many higher paying ones you use, and don't just use surfing for income, diversify into other things as well!.

As of July 15, 2006 Get Paid for Surfing programs (ManualSurf or AutoSurf) Are in our opinion now defunct and a waste of money, so we will no longer list them here. We have also stopped working with any Doublers, Triplers and HYIP programs of which the majority are outright scams, and all are ponzi schemes:

To participate in any of the above programs, you'll need E-Currency accounts, so here is a list of E-Currencies.

Nerd General's Warning: Do not even think about getting involved in online business if you don't have a reasonably fast internet connection. Plus it is extremely important to properly protect your computer from hackers, viruses, trojans, worms, key loggers, spyware, adware, malware, etc, so having a complete and continually updated anti virus, anti-keylogger, firewalling system installed is a must to stop these threats, plus be sure to have anti spam measures in place. I use the McAfee Internet Suite, on my windows machine as I have found it interferes less with my system than the other options I've tried (Including Norton). Consider using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer as your primary web browser, there are other advantages besides just security to doing this, tabbed browsing being one example that really lets auto-surfing many sites simultaneously on a timer work well. If you really want to be safe, use FireFox on the Linux Operating System instead of MS-Windows. You can even run Linux and Windows on the same computer at the same time using vmware workstation
