REAL opportunities on the net 
(& elsewhere)
 

It is possible to make substantial money off the internet. However, (just as in real life) the amount of money you make reflects your effort. For most people though, it is more enjoyable than real work since you have no boss to regulate you and you can set your own hours.  Visit Insider's NET Research & Learn center to get more information on BUSINESS, marketing, finance, etc.. Marketing Co.  |  Mystery Shopping  | Home-based Business FREE MONEY (grants)  |  Affiliate programs Marketing Companies The following marketing companies will pay you to receive e-mails, visit web sites, receive advertisements, etc... (details follow each link). Payment comes in the form of either money or gifts. You won't get rich off of these programs, but it should give you some spare cash and you'll usually save a lot of money with the discounts they offer. MYPOINTS sends you e-mail (periodically or frequently, depending on what you request) that you are expected to respond to if you want to earn points. When you earn enough points, you can use it for rewards such as gift certificates, pre-paid calling cards, video rentals, movie tickets, flyer miles, etc…  The minimum number of points you need to earn before using them is 1,000. If you click the icon, you can get 150 just for signing up! CYBERGOLD works slightly different, paying you actual money to look at websites and accept e-mail. You can also get great cash-back awards for purchases you make through cybergold. AllAdvantage.com is a marketing company that will pay you $.50 an hour (up to 15 hours) to surf the web as you already do! The only catch is that you must download this viewbar that will pop up advertisements as you browse. The viewbar is small- only 1 inch of your screen. The program is MLM (Multi-level Marketing) structured, so you can earn money from anyone that you refer to the program! JOIN TODAY! There is a waiting list to download the viewbar! Gotoworld is exactly the same concept as AllAdvantage.com except you get paid $.40 an hour, for a maximum of $20.00 a month. Also, the software is available to download TODAY. Return to TOP Mystery Shopping Mystery shopping can be a fun part-time job with many incentives (free meals, merchandise, etc..) I warn you not to trust the ads you read. Ads can claim up to $60 an hour- but if you calculate the your millage, driving time, and shopping time, it's not all true. Mystery shopping requires time, paperwork, and a love of shopping. Click here to read "A Typical Mystery Shopping Assignment".   Keep in mind that you won't make a lot of money off of these types of programs. Check out these sites for more information and to register to see if mystery shoppers are needed in your area.  Mystery Shopper's Inc. promises $10/shop, a minimum of 20 shops per week. This is the part-time position. You can also choose a full time position for 100 shops per week. Mystery Shopper, USA looks like it may be a good company. I'm still checking it out so try it at your own risk. Mystery Shopping: Reader Recommendations This bulletin board contains reader recommendations for good & reputable Mystery Shopping companies. Return to TOP Home-based Business Are you considering a home-based business? The home- based business industry has really boomed with the popularity of the internet. The internet is a great tool in finding resources and information. The following sites offer home-based business, as well as information to help you. Keep in mind that you should be skeptical at any claims and prepared for hard work. If your mind says "No, there's no way that could be true", TRUST IT. Always investigate the company before you buy any material (ex. a "starter kit", book, report, etc..). If possible, ask the company to send you the names and e-mail address of 15 people that have made substantial money off the program. Personally, I'd advise you to stay AWAY from on-line "Business Opportunity" classifieds. More than 80% of the time, there is some sort of trick in the ads people write.

This money does not have to be paid back (unless specified as a loan)- but the least you can do is send a thank-you letter. Insider's NET has posted a few sources for FREE MONEY. These sources are good for needy persons who need help to pay medical bills, education, etc.. There are other catagories available- more than 2,900 sources are available in a little booklet.

Return to TOP Affiliate Programs Affiliate programs are for people that have (or can build) interesting websites that generate a lot of traffic. The basic concept is that you post a link to a company (on your website). When one of your readers come a long, they might click on this link. The company will either pay you for a)each page the reader goes through -OR- b)a commision on any purchase that reader makes. This is all possible by "cookie technology".
