Uploading.com free money handed out to you!
This one of the greatest discoveries the world has seen since I was born! Uploading.com is a site where you can upload any file you want and get paid per 1.000 downloads. It may sound like a lot but if you just spend a little time on the site and follow the “trend” (popular files) you can easily make a lot of money in no time! A friend of mine showed me this page and only a month after he signed up he had made 231$. That is a lot of money for a first month, he’s even making more now!
And they also have an awesome referee program that pays you very well for every person you refer. So there is no time to sit around, the time to make money is now, and the place is here

Making money online
I have been around this topic on so many websites that I have lost count. I think it’s about time to write a post on how to really make money on the web and where to be careful.
The opportunities of the web are plentiful, to say the least! But the number of scams and tricks are even higher! Therefore you should be careful when you decide to make your money online and follow these steps for a safe and easy entrance in the big market that we all rely on so deeply.
I will talk about and share my experience with some of the ways I have tried to make money. I will dig into these subjects:
- Paid surveys and survey-sites
- Reading mail for cash
- Affiliate programs
and - Advertising on your website
Paid surveys
Many fortune 500 companies (with a lot of money to blow) are really interested in consumer opinions and how people see their organization or product, so they pay millions of dollars to marketing experts (survey sites) to find that out for them. The way the experts do that is to pay YOU for your opinion.
You might have heard stories about paid survey sites that promise you that you can make thousands of dollars answering surveys online or even doing it for a living. It’s true that you can earn some money by answering surveys but trust me you will have a really hard time accomplishing this (if possible at all) and it’s not as easy for everyone!
I myself have subscribed to dozens of paid survey websites and also made some money on it; actually in the first week after making the decision to try it I had already made 30 bucks, not much compared to what I expected, but rather neat for a first weeks try-out. I thought that it was a great idea, how could I have missed an opportunity like this for so long?! But it wasn’t jolly days waiting in the future and it wasn’t long before I started to loose the enthusiasm… I have spent hours answering surveys and profile questionnaires on various sites only to be disappointed and kinda ticked off. See, these sites have a minimum balance requirement that you have to reach before you can request a cash-out, and trust me, it’s gonna take awhile before you get there… IF you’re in the same state as myself: Living in a random country in Europe.
You see, these sites do offer surveys and they really do pay, the only problem is that for you to take a survey you have to qualify for the survey. Many of the top survey sites are positioned in the US and the companies interested in hearing about consumer reactions and opinions only need their answers from people who are familiar with their products, which roughly means: American product, American opinions.
I learned that if YOU were to have the best chance of getting paid good cash for taking surveys you should follow these criteria:
Live in the US, have a good job beforehand and have some deadly disease
I may have exaggerated a bit you think, but no. Medical firms are one of the best paying sites out there, the only downside is that you need a disease which needs periodical treatment or medicine. I don’t know why medical firms are so eager to get to people but they really do pay well…
The above criteria was only for maximum profit - NOT necessary to earning money on surveys.
If you’re interested in trying it out you should always remember:
REAL SURVEY SITES WILL NOT CHARGE YOU FOR ACCESS!!!
There are many hustlers out there trying to fool you into paying them money, personally I think it’s despicable.
But it is still the most important lesson in the whole survey ordeal. Legitimate survey offering websites DO NOT try to charge you anything.
The next most important thing is to get yourself a Paypal account. If you are not familiar with Paypal, it’s a service that many vendors support and is a system for online payment and receive of pay. Having a Paypal spares you from a lot of nerves when it’s time to pay. This is especially good if you are uncomfortable with typing your credit card numbers on many different websites. with paypal the other end will never get your card-information, instead they will be transferred to your paypal account where you can transfer the money to your card easily and secure.
Okay, I have a list of the sites that I have used and had a good experience with HERE, but these are some of the best:
- www.globaltestmarket.com
One of the biggest providers of paid surveys – frequent surveys - www.surveyhead.com
Pays you 5$ just to join – less frequent surveys - www.spidermetrix.com
Frequent surveys and lots of little-paying quickies - www.surveysavvy.com
More or less frequent surveys – pays well
If you live in Denmark as in my case I suggest you look at these:
All well-paying and frequent surveys
- Gratis-ting.dk Forbrugerpanel
- www.triabapanel.dk
- www.danskemeninger.dk
Pays you in gift cards for cdon.com, matas, fona and such.
Databases of paid survey websites:

Paid Surveys
Reading mail for cash
I will say this as it is. It is NOT worth it. You will get paid 0.2$ per email, 2 -3 mails per day and there is also a balance limit for cash-out, usually 30$. That means you have to read 150 emails and respond to ads. That includes waiting at least 1 minute on the advertising company’s website. Reading 150 emails with 2 – 3 a day will take 50 to 75 days that’s is 2 months average. So you will get paid 15$ a month. And then comes all the spam you receive for clicking on the ads (which is what they pay you to do) which is a nightmare. Just forget about it now.. It will never be a good idea…
Affiliate programs and advertising
Another possibility is making money on blog entries. Since I’m not that experienced in that area I will recommend for you to read up on this: How To Make Money On Your Blog

Make your own homepage
How to make your own website
Today most of the people in the world are on the web, I think.. It sort of feels like that when you “look over the horizon” or in plain english: thinks about how much stuff there really is out there on the www. But whether everybody is or nobody is on the web it’s time for you to be it!
There are many different types of websites to choose from and if you don’t know your way around or where to begin it could be a little confusing :-S so let us keep it as simple as possible, eh?
If you are new to this ordeal you should know that a website can be anything from having a noisy old server in your attic or down in the basement to a blog on someone else’s server far away. The easiest for a beginner is definitely putting the maintenance on someone else’s shoulders. But there is still something to choose from.
- A blog hosted on another domain (e.g. your-blog.blogspot.com) – often free, many hosts to choose from
- your own domain hosted on other servers (e.g. your-domain.com) – annual cost, but your own dot com!
You can choose whether you want a page at someone else’ domain for free with restrictions or your own website where you control what’s going on. I prefer the second one, but as a first website you could go with the free one
There are many hosts to choose from, some better than others but it’s essentially the same. A google search of “free website hosting” should give you all you need. Just choose one you like and then follow the steps on their site.
When you got a website
When you have gone along picking a host or bought a domain there really isn’t much on it and it kinda looks boring… Here is it where you can get creative! A lot of the hosting websites have tools to make your own homepage but they are generally not that capable of doing much more than changing colors and fonts. If you just want something on your page instead of nothing – you can use that. OR, if you feel creative and up for a challenge you can start learning HTML and PHP and make your website much more personal and unique! I really believe this is the best option in any case. There are also free systems you can download and use, but what is the point if you can’t customize it to fit your character and feel?
There is always help to find through google, but if you’re too lazy I can just give you some links here
Website Builder – point and click system to build your own website
Learn PHP in 17 hours – if you’re interested in php
Learn how to use photoshop – great tool for creating graphics (the most used photo editing tool)
Remember Google is your friend!
