How do I use my home computer to earn cash? Do I sell it?
No, you don't sell it. What you do is use it as a tool to earn extra cash for free. I created this lens because the economy sucks; many people are on a fixed income and are in need of extra money. I have made it a bit easier by compiling straight to the point information for you about what will get you your free extra cash, how it works, as well as legitimate sites and helpful tips I feel new members should know beforehand. I also list each websites perks which help add a few more dollars to your account.

Working at home for the money.
Computer Cash 101
The sites listed above are a few of the legitimate websites, called GPT sites, (GPT stands for "get paid to") that pay you for taking surveys, signing up to other websites, trying new products, shopping online, playing games, and completing other offers. Each offer, survey, sign up, etc., is worth a certain amount of money.You pick whichever offer for whatever amount you'd like to complete. Also, you are earning extra cash right from the comfort of your own home while using your home computer. What's even better is you get to do this at any time of the day and you do not have to pay to sign up and you do not have to pay a monthly fee. This is what I really like about GPT sites. The ability to be in control.
The mechanics.
The way the system works.
How this works is that advertisers look for new clients to try their products and services. GPT sites come in and bring new clients (you and me) to those advertisers. For doing this they earn a commission and then share this commission with us for our "hard work." The Website List
Where to go to start earning free cash from home.
These are all GPT websites, in no particular order, that I personally use and like. You can sign up to one, a few, or all.
- SquishyCash
A great site with LOTS of promotions and offers (almost daily). When signing up, check the box that asks if you want to accept emails from them. (They'll just send you emails about their promotions, so don't worry.) This will help you stay on top of the promotions and earn a lot of extra dollars. SquishyCash also gives you a $3.00 sign up bonus.
Age Requirement: At least 13 years of age.
Countries Accepted: Worldwide - Rewards1
Like CashLagoon, Rewards1 runs on a point based system and 1 point equals $1.00. The only difference is you trade your points in for rewards. Rewards include video games, gaming systems like PSPs and Xboxs, iPods, Cell Phones, Jewelry, and a lot more. AND if you don't like the rewards listed, you can get a custom order. This means they will order an item you want, free of charge.
Age Requirement: At least 18 years of age or at least 13 years of age with parent's permission.
Countries Accepted: United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada - GangsterGreed
This site is great site with daily payouts, and easy offers to complete.
Age Requirement: 18 years of age or at least 13 years of age with parent's permission.
Countries Accepted: United States and Countries Outside of the United States - CashLagoon
This site runs on a point based system, meaning each offer is worth a certain amount of points. When you want to request payment, those points are turned into a dollar amount. (1 point = $1.00) CashLagoon also has a bunch of offers, plus there is NO minimum payout. No matter how much money you have in your account, you can get it.
Age Requirement: 18 years of age and older, or 13 years of age with parent's permission.
Countries Accepted: United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Argentina, Belgium, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Austria, Denmark and Finland - TheCashGrab
This site has a bunch of offers you can complete in no time which is good if you're short on free time. ALSO, you get a $3.00 sign up bonus.
Age Requirement: At least 13 years of years. (Most offers require members to be at least 18 years of age.)
Countries Accepted: United States - CashCrate
CashCrate has tons and tons of offers. Lots of offers mean more money for you.
Age Requirement: At least 13 years of age.
Countries Accepted: Most offers will be available to the United States and other English speaking countries, but other countries are accepted as well.
Getting Started
A few things you need to know/do beforehand.
* NEVER pay for a list of GPT sites or to sign up to one! If you are asked to, get out of there!* When signing up to GPT sites use your real info and your real email address. GPT sites will not spam you.
* Create a few "spam email addresses" to use for completing offers. This is where the spam comes from. There's Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo. (I personally like Gmail.)
* Also use your real info when completing offers, using fake info can get your account banned.
* Always log on to your account(s) from your home computer.
* To fill out surveys faster, download RoboForm for free. It's a program that fills in your information with one click. Remember to download the free version, unless you want to pay for the pro version.
A freebie for you.

If you do not have proper information beforehand, if you have signed up to sites and programs that are scams /given your money away to scammers, and/or spend more money on a program(s) then you are earning, then yes it will be hard. It is easy when a person is pointed in the right direction and knows what he or she is doing. This allows people to spend their time actually earning money without staring at their screen wondering why nothing is working.
