Get paid to surf
There are many programs which will pay you watch adverts while you surf the internet. Some will also pay you just for using your computer. With these programs you still need to have an active internet connection. This is because the way that these companies earn money is by placing adverts on your computer screen. The adverts are downloaded from the internet. In order to be earning money you must be moving your mouse usually at least once every five minutes. If you do not move your mouse, you will get a message that you are not earning money. Most of the programs are aimed at the American computer user. So, if you live outside the USA you need to check that you are eligible to join. Also, note that most of the companies pay you by cheque, so you need to that the cost of cashing US dollar cheques in your country is not too expensive. Otherwise you might find that all the money you have earned is used up in bank charges.
Caution
The amounts that some of these programs are saying you can earn just for watching adverts seems to good to be true. Some of the companies have only just started these operations, so it is still uncertain if some of them will actually payout the money you have earned. Also, they may not payout the levels that they are advertising. Still, these programs are free, so if they do not payout you will not have lost too much, apart from your time of course.
Here is a list of some of the programs which are available. The best thing to do is to check the details of each one. Somewhere on the website of each program you will find "the terms of use" or "terms and conditions". You need to read these carefully to check if the program is suitable for you. For example, you must check if the program is available in the country where you live. Some programs will only payout if you live in the USA. Also, the promotions for some of the programs suggest that they are already operating. In fact, often you sign up for the program and then find out that it is not actually operating yet and they just want your details for when it does eventually start.
Join as many programs as possible
The best thing to do is join as many of the programs as possible, since they are free to join. Then try each each of them out to decide which ones are best for you. In fact, if you spend a lot of time each month connected to the internet, you can make extra money by running one program until you have used up the hours on that program and then use another program until you have used up the hours on that one also, and so on.
You will also find that you can have more than one program (from different companies) running at the same time so you can earn money even more quickly. Of course the more programs you have running, the more of your computer screen will be taken up by them.
Here are some of the programs which you can join for free.
