Get Paid to Surf Facts and Tips

Wondering what these "paid to surf" companies are? Here is the deal: these companies will pay you by minute of you allow a small, removable banner ad to sit on your desktop while you use the internet (you should be being paid when you read this!) These banners just flash ads at you, you can ignore them if you like while you participate in your reguliar surfing activities. They are 100% free to join and will never cost you a dime. Some programs require that you are actively surfing the internet, while others only require that you are connected to the net (great if you have access at work)

Most pay to surf programs will pay you between .20 and .60 cents an hour(You can use several at once, see tips below.) The real money though is in referrals. You can make an astounding amount of money just by referring a few people. You can refer an unlimited number of people and those people can do the same. This continues for 3 to 8 levels depending on the company (Your referrals EXPLODE like a chain letter!). Some people literally have thousands of referrals and get paid for each one of them. All Advantage already has 7+ million members, many of which have already received very large checks. You might think it's a scam, but it's not. First of all, these companies compete with each other so they have to offer high payout rates. Second of all, if you refer them a ton of people they'll gladly send you a huge check each month because they're making money off each person that you refer. They don't have to spend any money on advertising either. Almost all of the top programs on my site have mailed checks for several months now.

Some programs require you to match your referrals hours, meaning if your referral surfs 40 hours in a month and you only surf 20 you will only get paid for 20 hours of their surfing.

Why You Should Sign Up For More Than One Program:

1. You can use several banners at once. (See tips for using several banners below.)
2. Most of them limit the amount of hours you can use their banner in a month.
3. Everyone knows about AllAdvantage. However, many AA members are unaware of the important info on this list and are prime targets to sign up for additional programs.
4. Some programs don't require you to match your referrals hours, so even if you don't use the computer much your referrals might. They might max out on All Adv. and need other banners to switch to.
5. You might have 30 referrals for one program, but your referrals might not have any and would quickly switch to a different banner. If your AllAdv. referrals prefer Mvalue they'll switch and you're screwed!
6. Paysu pays you JUST for having a start page, radiofreecash pays you to listen to music, themail pays you for using free email etc. etc.
7. Sometimes a viewbar just won't work properly. If this happens, you have backups.
8. You don't know which banners you'll like. They're all a little different and have different rules.

Tips for using several viewbars at once:

• Increase your monitor resolution. This will shrink everything on your screen, thus making the viewbars smaller. Go to My Computer, Control Panel, display, settings, and increase the screen area (resolution). (This may require you to reboot your computer)
• Increasing the resolution will probable make the printings too small to read. In order to fix this, go to View at the top of Internet Explorer, then choose text size and increas as much as necessary. Netscape Navigator has a similar function.
• Drag your tool bar to the vertical position on the right of your computer screen. This will free up some more room.
• If you have a chance, get a 19 or 21 inch monitor. Or, you can buy a small, used monitor (try ebay or ubid). Then you can run two monitors off 1 Windows 98, allowing you to throw all your viewbars on the separate monitor. The monitor will cost under one hundrer bucks and will pay for itself in less than two months. I'm not exactly sure on for to do this at this moment, but you may need an additional program. You should try Cnet for more information about this.

Note: You do not have to have a website to promote your programs online (but it really helps to have one). For example, when you sign up for UtopiAd, you get your own UtopiAd webpage that your can plaster all over the internet.

Note: Getting paid to surf the web is really only the top of the iceberg. Once these companies get their feet on the ground there will be many other ways to make money. In the future you may be paid for your offline time as well! Once you get your referrals, they are yours for life.

Note: Sometimes the links of these companies may be down. These companies are growing very fast so it is to be expected. Just check the link later if it's down.
