You can now make money just surfing the web or reading e-mail. Check these programs out!
This is still under massive construction; be warned.
I'm also really not updating the page much, so you may find that some of these companies have gone out of business, like Alladvantage.
For more information and more sites to check out, go to MyECom.
There are several ways to make money over the web, and all of them are completely legitimate (and if they aren't, I'll remove them!). You can jump from section to section using this handy menu.
Never paid. AllCommunity was supposed to pay you not just to surf the web, but also to read e-mail and to use their ISP. Sure they were. | |
| CashFiesta | Now paying! CashFiesta hopes to pay about $.60/hour for surfing. They actually still exist; anyone ever actually use their bar? |
| CashSurfers | Now paying! CashSurfers will pay you to surf and to visit their Special Deals page...at the rate of about a cent a year. |
| Desktop Dollars | Stopped paying. Desktop Dollars used to let you keep the bar active for an unlimited number of hours per month, but then they reneged on their agreement and killed everyone's account. I did get one check from them, not that this means anything now. |
| ePIPO | Bankrupt. ePIPO once claimed to pay $.60/hr for surfing the web, plus .10/hr for the next five levels. They are supposedly about to distribute one final payment to members (at about a quarter on the dollar) before going away forever. No major loss. |
| Extra$alary | Extra$alary supposedly pays you both to surf the web (.50/hr, up to 40 hrs a month, plus .10/hr for the next level and .05/hr for the next four after that!) and to read e-mail. They've supposedly been doing that for years, but I've never even seen an ad bar from them, not that I'd use it. |
Reneged on agreement. Ignifuge was supposed to pay you every time you or one of your referrals visited their website. They never did, but the website is still happily collecting visitors. Don't bother. | |
| Spedia | Now paying! Check received! Spedia pays a different amount every month (these days, usually about jack-squat) per hour plus 25% of whatever amounts your direct referrals make. I'm still waiting for the last check they say they've sent. |
| UtopiAD | Did this one ever work? UtopiAD pays you based on their advertising revenues. I guess they never had any... |
MyPoints sends occasional e-mail messages. By reading them and clicking a link at the end, you earn points which can be applied to various purchases. (I have gotten several free gift certificates...this one's a keeper.) | Net-4-Biz used to pay $.05 per e-mail you read and $.03 per e-mail read by each referral. Then they whined that no one was reading their ads and quit. Try paying more... |
Sendmoreinfo also sends occasional e-mail messages. By reading them and clicking a link at the end, you earn $0.05 per message. This site still exists, but I haven't received anything from them in years. |
 |
Iwin.com rewards members for playing games by giving away over $100,000 a month. You can earn icoins for playing games and then use them to win prizes. |
| WinDough | WinDough offers you the chance to win $25,000 or other prizes! Just open the window, and if it says "You Win!", you win! |
