What is Get Paid To Surf?
By now you've heard about those 'get paid to surf the web' offers that seem to have flooded the internet during the last year, but you've probably ignored them because it sounds too much like a pyramid scheme with money coming out of people below, and people in the bottom rows of the pyramid ending up losing their money and getting nothing back. 'The last ones to join always lose' is the pyramid scheme rule. 'Get paid to surf the web' schemes are pyramid schemes, but nothing like 'send 5 dollars to 6 people'. Firstly, you pay nothing to join, nor will you have to pay any participation fees. Secondly, there's a real service exchange going on, not convincing people to convince other people to convince other people (etc...), but advertisers paying broker company to show the advertising to you, and broker must share a revenue percentage with you to deliver the advertising. Advertiser is virtually paying customer (yes, you!) to see his advertising. Since you need to be connected to the internet in order to receive and view the advertising, you are getting paid to surf the web, although in some cases you don't have to use a web browser to earn the money.
What about the pyramid part?
When you sign other people up under you, you will be
credited 10-25% of the amount they earn. Referrals do not earn less because of
that, broker pays these percentages to you. If the people you refer sign up
others, you will be credited 2-10% of the amount those people earn. Up to 4 to 6
levels. Here's how it works: when you sign up, you are given a user number. You
place that number into broker's sign-up URL provided and anybody signing-up from
that URL with your ID in it will be your referral. (URL - internet address).
That means you do not need a web site to refer others, but webmasters will earn
more as they can reach wider audiences. Example: if you have 20 active referrals
on All Advantage, you will earn about $2 per hour. Just like that: get paid
while your friends are surfing the web and getting paid themselves. You have to
be first to tell them to get the credit. Some of my strategies to let others
know are billboards (not electronic ones, that would be spamming), paper
classifieds, making links from my other web sites and of course just telling
some people I know in person. Another useful strategy is to try to refer other
big webmasters and watch your indirect referrals grow. You can always think of
more ways to refer, what about local mailboxes or windscreens on the car park?
Why haven't they thought about it earlier?
I have no idea. But when the concept first appeared and
first few brokers emerged, and everyone got excited, as you would expect, many
copy-companies followed. I have looked through over a dozen brokers, but only
considered few of them. The reasons were: site design was not serious enough to
convince, pay rates subject to change depending on broker's earnings, having to
click 1-4% of banners, bar software not released, international members not
allowed... and more reasons and their combinations. Getting paid to surf the web
has to be exactly what it says, some brokers forget about that.
We can no longer use the excuse that getting paid to surf the web is not real.
It's time for you to decide: do you want to pay off some of your internet/phone
fees by having a bar on while you surf or do you want an extra income of few
hundred dollars per month? The future is nearing, there are already free
internet access services based on the same concept, free computers are very
near, and then free apartments with wall-mounted boards that sense your presence
and offer you some good deals... We are being given money by advertisers to
allow them to tell us how to spend our money, so why not take it? We do not have
to buy what is offered.
