Get Paid To...

Does anybody remember those "get paid to surf" websites back in the late 90's? Does AllAdvantage ring a bell? I never made very much from those programs, but I do fondly remember getting cheques in the mail and cashing them in. It was such a satisfying feeling to make some extra bucks without hardly any effort.

After the so-called "Internet bubble" burst, it seemed that the free ride was over and the Internet advertising industry was all but dead... eventually Google came along, and it seemed that with their Adsense and Adwords programs, Internet advertising was making a slow but steady comeback... It was only a matter of time before real "get paid to..." websites would start reappearing.

I have seen a handful of "get paid to..." websites over the past several years -- most of them offering a few cents or fractions of a cent, or points which could eventually be convertible to cash payment or other rewards. Typically all you would have to do is complete surveys, or get ads sent to you via email.

Bux.to is a more recent "get paid to" website that I've encountered and seems fairly promising. From what I have seen so far, it looks fairly safe and legit (I think I might write up something later about how to recognize hoaxes, scams, phishing & get rich quick schemes).

The account registration does not require that you provide much personally identifiable information or any payment. All you need to provide is an email address and the email address that you use to receive PayPal payments (so as a matter of fact, you can register virtually anonymously if you choose to do so).

They offer 1 cent for every ad you visit, and the only condition is that you have to keep each ad page open for at least 30 seconds. Obviously, you probably wouldn't be able to make very much money just by viewing ads alone; you can probably expect to make about only 10-30 cents per day directly. However, the amount multiplies if you have referrals. The minimum cash-out amount is $10.00.

You literally have nothing to lose, and a little bit to gain, so why not at least give it a try? Gather up a bunch of your friends and check it out: http://bux.to/?r=ahsy. Remember to make sure that my ID "ahsy" is in the referrer field when you register! ;-)
