How to Earn Money on the Internet, Using Only Your PC …Without Paying a Cent!


Dear Entrepreneur/Customer

Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your supporting me through 2006 and 2007. It has been a particularly difficult, challenging while at the same time busy and exciting. I am sure many of you feel the same and have reflected on the on the successes and failures or less successful ventures (as I prefer to call them).

Sharing opportunities

I bought my first computer way back in 1993. Suffice it to say that it was indeed a proud moment – at the time - to be at the forefront of the technological age. At the time this meant; being able to switch on your PC, taking a quick shower then making a nice cup of hot coffee and sandwiches before taking up position in front of your PC – which would only be ready then. I had the timing refined to an art. Let me not digress too much from our topic at hand.

The question I have been asking myself ever since: ‘How can I make use of this wonderful technology to improve myself and achieve my dream lifestyle?’ It was not until much later that I came across opportunities on the Internet which has now put me firmly on the road towards achieving my dreams. These same opportunities I now wish to share with you as a token of my appreciation for your support.

Researched and Legitimate

It has taken me the better part of a year to research, compile and evaluate the various programs I have registered with and are now promoting. I needed to make sure it was legitimate, before signing up and recommending friends and family to join. During this time I also come across many, many scams and scam sites – all of which I will be sharing with you in due course. Having been a victim of at least on such scam, I can speak from personal experience. More details of this in the next edition.

The golden rule to remember is: ‘If it sounds too good to be true……IT PROBABLY IS!!!

Words of Caution

So what are these programs or money making opportunities? There are actually quite few different types, but the purpose of this 1st edition of my e-zine (yes that is what this type of marketing letter is called) is to focus only on one particular type, PTC or Paid To Click programs, as it is commonly referred to in the industry. It is just one of the many types of ‘Get Paid’ programs I will be introducing you to over the next months.

Paid to Click programs are so named, because that is precisely what it entails – you get paid to click and view ads on the Internet without having to pay a single cent. Furthermore, you also get paid when you refer friends and family and they click. Some programs pay 100% of your referral clicks, while others pay only 50%. It follows that you earn more when you click and refer more. You decide how much time and effort you want to devote to this endeavour.

At this point I must issue a Word of Caution!! Don’t be blinded by the huge earnings potential of some of these programs - quite frankly it is a bit exaggerated. My experience is that it can take some time before you really see results – then again, I have only been doing this part-time. Do not rush in and register with too many programs at once – it can become overwhelming – rather plan carefully and consider the following:

• How much time am I willing to allocate to this?
• What impact will it have on my family /social life?
• Will it influence my normal day-job or other Internet activity?

My advice is to proceed slowly, register with 2 or 3 programs that appeal to you and get a feel for what it is about. Satisfy yourself that it is legitimate Internet business activity. Evaluate the impact the few programs have on your time, budget, family and social life before registering on more programs. Build your referral list gradually. Focus on improving and accelerating the returns on a few programs first. Once you have done this, GO BIG TIME!! Involve your friends and family, colleagues.

Follow the rules

An important point to remember: ‘read the rules and stick to it’. You do not want any disappointments when it comes to pay-out time. For example, some programs allow more than one member per household – as long as each one uses his/her own PC, whereas other programs strictly allow only1 member per household.

Remember: ‘This is not a get rich quick or Ponzi Scheme’. Instead be prepared to invest your time and resources to get going and earn reasonable returns, especially if this is going to be a part-time activity.

In appendix 1, highlights and summarizes the differences, requirements and benefits of each program.

How do I proceed?

Simply click on the links and start earning….NO; it is not quite as simple as that! Do the following step-by-step:

1. Click on or copy and paste the links provided into your browser address bar
2. Register with the different programs one-by-one
3. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail
4. Click on the link to activate your account
5. Familiarise yourself with the rules of that particular program
6. Start earning by browsing the ads provided
7. Create an account with an Internet payment processor

Simple isn’t it?

How much will I get paid?

Here is an example of how much you can earn from one program

» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00
» Your daily earnings = $2.10
» Your weekly earnings = $14.70
» Your monthly earnings = $63.00

The above example is based only on 20 referrals and 10 daily clicks. And yes, you get paid IN DOLLARS. Amazing isn’t it! Getting paid for an activity which we normally perform for free – browsing the Internet and clicking on a few ads.
Imagine the possibilities!! Add a few more programs and do the maths!!

How do I get paid?

You will need to create an account with a recognized and reputable online Internet payment processor like Paypal; Alertpay ; or E-gold.

Paypal.com is by far the most recognized payment processor on the internet today. Probably due to its close association with eBay, the world’s premier auction site eBay fact owns a significant share in Paypal

Alertpay is a fairly new kid on the block, but has made quick inroads into a market dominated by www.paypal.com. It has established as a reliable and efficient payment processor and has achieved much success in the Paid to Click industry, where it is a major player.

E-GOLD has not been around too long, but has found favour with the Paid to Click community due to the low transaction fees and easy to use website.
Some programs only use one of the above providers while others provide all three options. My advice is to register with all three, than you will not be limited in program choice.

Can’t wait to get started….here’s your links!

One step, two steps, three stepss…

Getting on with it....

Let’s leave the story - about the beginning of the departure to a new destination - for later. If this opening sounds a bit confusing to you, then you should read my first entry on this blog titled: “And of we go…” This blog entry will focus on what steps I have taken so far. In other words; how far have I traveled since I departed, uhhmm… maybe I should rephrase that - What course of action (pardon the pun) … have I taken since I started out on this exciting path; towards a destination that has yet to be revealed? NB: More detail on the destination will follow in subsequent blog-entries.
Let’s leave the soppy philosophical stuff, which is starting to bore me and get to the point here.

For starters we go to the 'pre-steps' I’ve taken. I can just imagine you all saying/thinking oh no here we go again, but trust me I have to do this – just stay with me on this one and ‘hear me out’!

Firstly, the realization that I am wasting not only my time and money, but also that of others and furthermore, that although I have dreams (lots of lately!) I have done nothing to realize - there’s that word again – them and make them come to fruition as some would say. Secondly, I needed to internalize this ‘realization’ and get to grips with it. I have heard and read of people going bonkers for failing to understand this ‘new reality’ they needed to embrace.

So embrace it I did; to the fullest extent possible and with total disregard for the possible consequences. I sold my house, which wasn’t bond free anyway and made a tidy profit. This profit was meant to reduce all of our debt in whatever form it may be. The rest of it was allocated to long term investment; making short term dreams come true and ‘start-up capital’. Yep, everything’s always good and fine ‘on paper’, but implementing your plan and getting it to work are two very different ballgames. A quick update: the long term investment has still to pay; the short term goals have come and gone; the startup capital - there is not much left – lots of it have been used to plug some unexpected gaps(more on this later, much later…)

The important thing about these first few steps, is that it made my resolve so much stronger, brought my wife and I even closer than we were and showed my children valuable lessons on how to and not to ‘discover the wild’ so to speak!

The aforesaid seems so doom and gloom – or is it just my imagination – so let me close this chapter on a more positive note. The start-up capital didn’t all go to waste. I procured (now there’s a nice word) a state of the art PC and a laptop with high speed communication links, a decent 4-in-1 printer, corner unit workstation, lots of office stationary and consumables, in fact everything I thought I would need to get me going and sustain me as I embarked.

I hope you look forward to the next chapter as much as I do…..See Ya!!!

Before i go, did anyone get the title thingy with the 'essesss'...? Ask me and i'll attempt to explain!

And of we go...

My first blog entry.....i mean what else is there to say? As explained in the 'about me' page - this is for me a new start/beginning (beginning sounds so much nicer don't you think!). Shu..and what a journey it has been so far.

Perhaps i shouldn't say a new journey, but really a departure from established routines, ideas, anything old - in the past, and so on, i think you know and understand what i mean!
Being the first blog, i suppose i need to fill you in on a few details. i am sure you would like to know where i am coming from before you i tell you where i am going - i still need to find that out for myself, but at least i've got a pretty good idea - and invite you along!

With so much to say, i think i'll split it up into more manageable chunks, howzat for starters.
And where do i begin to tell the story (reminds you of a song heh! Barbara Streisand if my memory serves me correctly)......

Well i'll start at the beginning - not before the beginning as Timone and Pumba would have it! Ha ha! Just thinking about those two makes me laugh.....

I was born on 27 February 1967 - yes i am proud of having reached the roaring 40's as they say - in a little town called ...i bet Bethlehem came first to your mind, it being that time of the year....Humansdorp, in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is situated about 80 km from the bigger Nelson Mandela Metropole, which has the city of Port Elizabeth as it primary hub. Port Elizabeth is also called 'The Friendly City' as well as 'The Windy City'. I grew up and spent at least half of my 40 years there.

Watch this space for the next installment.......

Do use the poll to let me know about my initial efforts.....Ta ta
