Making Money Online

So I've been doing alot of research on making an extra couple grand over the summer. I've come to the conclusion that at least 95% of companies that offer you easy money (such as taking surveys online all day) are scams. Has anyone ever had any real success with a venture like this? Please guys share your secrets.
Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Making Money Online

nope they pretty much are scams. I tried one that was recommended to me and I spent hours doing surveys only to make about 11 bucks. It was such a waste of time. I think it came out to be about 2 something an hour I made. haha terrible.

Re: Making Money Online

Yea the survey things sucks because they're soooooooooooooooooooo fucking long. It'll literally take you an hour just to do one.

Re: Making Money Online

heard the samething. i thought about trying just to see, but heck, i waste too much time here to concentrate on a survey.

although those free gift things work apparently...like 10% of the time or something. but if you read the fine print, some actually say memebership is required while others dont.

Re: Making Money Online

Gomez peer actually pays you for being online. Its not much i've had it a few months and only made 30 bucks. But it doesnt slow anything down or bring in spyware or virus'. Its just added to my paypal.

When i was about 17 alladvantage.com actually paid, but you could only be online with it so much per month. I think the most per month you could earn was around 12.50 er so. i got 1 check from them and didnt really use it again.

Re: Making Money Online

I did the Gozing surveys in college. They were rather short, the scam was, once you were finished, the "confirmation" page would freeze about 90% of the time. And so, they would get their completed survey info, but then claim you never "fully completed it". They paid me for about 10% of the surveys I did, and their customer service never helped when I got screwed, so I quit that.

The work at home thing is a scam. 99% of them ask for $50, you pay, and then they give you a couple pages of dead links to survey places and pay to surf places.

The pay to surf pages that I looked at years ago, basically paid something like $1/hour and only let you make a dollar a day tops. So it wasn't worth the time.

The only money I've found to be worthwhile is free online poker money. If you do a yahoo search for PSO or bonus whores, you can find alot of free bonus offers. They have restrictions, but you can make $ if you are proficient in poker.

Just my .02

I did the AllAdvantage thing for abou $14 for a couple months. Not worth it, but they do pay and don't scam you.

You know Nicole, if you spent half as much time trying to think of ways to make money as you did on AF, you would be one wealthy girl.

I did that all advantage thing too when I was like 16. The check came in the mail and my mom thought it was a bogus check so she threw it out!
