Don't Spend a Dime to Make Money Online!
I can't make you rich but I can show you how to make realistic extra cash by doing little work online. You can easily follow these steps and utilise them to earn extra income every week whether working from home or work or the library!
The best place to start is with paid per action sites (ALL FREE to join of course!) and are SO easy to use. You can learn so much from simply being an active member of some of these programs and develop your understanding of how to utilise online programs. These are suitable for EVERYBODY! Stay at home Mom's and Dad's, older persons, students, experienced computer users, non-experienced.
(Towards the end I have included other methods which are slightly more challenging should you feel paid per action is not your cup of tea!)

STEP 1 - Learn the Lingo!
PTC - Paid to click (you get paid to click on an ad)
PTR - Paid to Read (you get paid to click on an ad link in an email)
PTP - Paid to promote (you get paid to send visitors to a website)
PTSU - Paid to signup/paid to do offers (you get paid to join other programs)
URL/link - website address
Referral - someone you have referred to the program/site and they have joined through your referral link/URL.
Affiliate - someone who sells other people's products through an affiliate link to the sellers website.
TE's - traffic exchanges (you view other people's websites for credits which you can use to have people look at your referral or affiliate links)
Downline builder - a program with multiple programs in it which helps you build a referral base.
PTR - Paid to Read (you get paid to click on an ad link in an email)
PTP - Paid to promote (you get paid to send visitors to a website)
PTSU - Paid to signup/paid to do offers (you get paid to join other programs)
URL/link - website address
Referral - someone you have referred to the program/site and they have joined through your referral link/URL.
Affiliate - someone who sells other people's products through an affiliate link to the sellers website.
TE's - traffic exchanges (you view other people's websites for credits which you can use to have people look at your referral or affiliate links)
Downline builder - a program with multiple programs in it which helps you build a referral base.
STEP 2 - Don't get Scammed!
Don't be fooled by promises and sales letters designed simply to get you to part with your money. Only join reliable programs with proven records. NEVER part with your money to join a program unless you are absolutely certain you will make that money back in a reasonable period. And that requires research and experience!
STEP 3 - Get a Payment Processor Account
Firstly, you will need a (free!) PayPal account (please click on the banner):
AND an Alertpay account:
WHY? To get PAID of course! Most "paid to" sites use paypal as a payment method to pay its members. PayPal has very rigorous qualification processes for sites so that you can be sure that if the site is PayPal approved, you will get paid. Paypal will not associate with any site which has failed to pay members who have qualified for payment and or failed to adhere to PayPal's other requirements. Many other programs use alertpay which is also reliable and which is why I reccommend both.
You use your email address for payments to you! WHich means that every time you get a payout you will get a notification email.

STEP 4 - Join these programs!
Secondly, you should join either or both of the following (please click on the banners):
WHY? Because both of these programs are run by the same trusted owner/administrator with years and years of online experience who's name is Valerie Underhill. Valerie has made it her goal with these sites to offer a FREE way to make money from the most reliable programs out there and to provide tips and help to make a realistic extra income possible.
I have been a member of MARKETINGPOND for a year now and have found it extremely beneficial both in terms of teaching me how to make money online and also ACTUALLY earning me money! It contains "paid to" programs, advertising resources, social networking, a forum, and more. It is a downline builder which means that instead of getting one referral in one program, you can get one referral to join one program but become a referral in all your programs within Marketingpond.
GLOBALTEAMCLUB is also a downline builder but it focuses solely on the best and most reliable PTC programs. Valerie does ALL the research for you! If a program is bad it's not in the list!
Both programs conveniently contain one page with all your programs within it. This allows you to forget about typing in multiple url's to access your programs. You simply have to click on the link in your program list and go down through each of them, clicking and earning as you go!

STEP 5 - Be Active!
You cannot rely on anyone else to make you money but you can make yourself money! It is very important that when you join the programs in the program list that you get active and start clicking ads, doing paid offers, etc. to MAKE YOU MONEY!
Do the math! If you are a member of one "paid to" program it may pay you fairly little in one day for clicking all the ads (bear in mind it is still only a few minutes work). But if you are a member of multiple programs and get paid a little in each it all ads up! That's why Marketingpond and Global Team CLub exist! They also provide the convenience of having ALL your programs on ONE page to save you the time and hassle of trying to remember the programs you have joined and typing in all those urls.
If you really do not like a program in the list or feel you're not getting anything from it, don't use it but still join (I will tell you why later).

STEP 6 - Get Referrals
A referral is who joins a program from your referral link/URL.
WHY DO I NEED REFERRALS?
Most programs will pay you firstly, for your activity on their site and secondly, for your referrals activity on their site. This means YOU get paid for SOMEONE ELSES activity! (Don't worry the referral gets paid too.)
for example:
BUDDYPOND is a PTC site (within the program lists) which pays you $0.005 for each ad you click. It ALSO pays you $0.002 for each ad your referrals click.
If YOU are active and your referrals are active you can see how your earnings multiply.
HOW DO YOU GET REFERRALS?
The easiest way to get referrals is to talk to people you know and get them to join. Explain what the program is about, show them how to use the programs, suggest they read this site(!).
Next off ADVERTISE! Use traffic echanges to get people to visit your referral URL/link. Use emails (though beware of spamming!). Use safelists. Put up posters directing people to your referral URL/link. Put your link wherever people can SEE it. Read about ALL these methods in Marketingpond.
REMEMBER - These programs will never require you to pay a CENT. Everyone likes something for FREE right?! You will find it sooo much easier to get referrals for a FREE program than a Paid site so there is no risk!

STEP 7 - Help Your Referrals
Active Referrals MAKE YOU MONEY! If they have trouble using the programs or are not making money they will NOT stay active. Contact them and offer your help and contact details. Encourage them and help them get referrals by giving them tips and telling them where they can get information on types of advertising/marketing as suggested above (and detailed at Marketingpond).
If you don't like a particular program but you have even one active referral they can make you MONEY! SO just because you are not going to utilise one program in the list, this is no excuse for not joining. If your referral joins from your link You will make money!

EXTRA STEPS
You want more than "paid to" programs?
Can you write articles? Can you market products? Do you like the idea of becoming an eBay seller?
YES! Well you need to become an AFFILIATE!
AN affiliate basically sells OTHER people's products for a commission. You do this by setting up affiliate links which you advertise whether by sending web users to that link or embedding the link within an article or website or blog.
Obviously, you need to get products to sell! Well, I would strongly recommend:
Linkshare has a phenomenal amount of merchants looking to sell REAL products. You create links for your website or blog or article and when people purchase a merchant's product through these links you get paid a commission. You pay NOTHING to join this site! (click banner)
CLICKBANK has a phenomenal amount of DIGITAL products that you can sell without spending a cent on them!

Final Note
Whatever you decide to do, if you join one program do not get distracted by what appear to be better offers! Making MONEY online involves a learning curve. If you can make a FREE program work to make you money there is a chance you may replicate that success with a paid program. But you cannot make that decision until you make that FREE program work!
AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE IS NO RISK WHEN YOU DO NOT PAY!
