Get Paid to Surf the Net

Why NOT to get paid to surf the net?

With most of this website devoted to showing you how and where you can get paid to surf the net, I thought it only fair to warn you about the downsides to getting paid to surf the net.

There is no one reason that will stop everyone, but there might be a reason below that will stop you from getting paid to surf the net.

1. Some websites/services that claim to pay do not.

This is a very important problem that will cause you to research first every time. If you do not learn about which websites or services pay well and on time, then you may spend many hours, days, or even weeks surfing for cash and find out that the company won't pay after all.

Luckily this problem can be avoided simply by reading the suggestions on this site and checking them out for yourself.

2. Some sites do not pay to your country.

This is not usually a problem for the 55 countries (including all English-Speaking countries) that Paypal is available in, but in some other countries you may find yourself not able to get paid.

Each different website or service that offers to pay you for surfing online has a different selection of payment options... Usually Paypal is an option, but there are many others, such as Amazon payments, eGold, eCash, quickpay, and a dozen others. A few will also offer to send you a check if you are in the same country they are in.

3. It's not likely worth your time.

Even the best paid surveys or paid traffic exchanges ask you to spend a lot of time to get paid. Most Americans who get paid to surf the net find that even while working full time, 40 hours a week or more at it, they still don't make enough money to pay all their bills.

That's why these sites are so popular in developing nations like India and Mexico. This amount of payment may actually be higher than their last 9 to 5 job for them.

Once you find out the rate of payment for a paid to surf site or service, multiply the hours you have to work each week on it times the amount you'd make in an hour doing it. From that you'll be able to see if it truly is worth your time to get paid to surf the net.
