Get Paid to Drive a Car.

If you read the title of this blog and thought it was a scam, you are wrong. You can actually get paid to drive your own car or even get a new car and just pay insurance and maintenance for it. Well, who would be ready to pay you for driving a car and why do they do that? Simply put, it is a method of advertisement in which the companies advertise their business on your car with either a small decal or a complete car wrap. Advertising on a car is a very innovative method of advertisement, because how many times have we got stuck in traffic, having nothing to do but stare at the rear windshield of the car in front of us or at our side? Imagine if an advertisement is put up in that window, how much exposure would the advertising business get?
Who can apply for this scheme? There are certain conditions like age limits, mileage driven, location where car will be driven and so on. Usually anyone above 18 years of age may be allowed to apply for this. Some companies require that you drive atleast a 1000 miles per month to qualify for this program while others just ask you to drive the usual routes that you drive everyday. Is there a catch? Not much. Some companies may reject people who do not meet the requirement criteria, others may make you wait for a few months till a suitable advertisement for your location comes up. You just have to remember that the advertisement should be constantly displayed on your car wherever you drive. You cannot remove the decal just because you are going to your friend's house or to the church!
How much you can earn from this varies from company to company. A few pay as low as $50 per month, while others may pay upto $300 or even $400 every month. You can also be paid for referring your friends or other advertisers to this scheme. Some companies also provide you with a free car wrapped with advertisements and require you to maybe pay for insurance and general maintenance. Some come equipped with GPS systems so that the mileage covered by you could be kept track of.
How do you find companies who will be ready to sign you up for this scheme? Well, you can go to a search engine like Google and find out, or to make your work simpler, you can subscribe to directories which list a number of such companies. Some of the few directories which I am aware of is surveryscout.com, Thefreecar.com, freecarindex.com and freecarsouce.com

Get paid to surf the internet and read emails.

Is it possible to get paid to read emails? Can you get paid for just surfing advertisements? Yes, you can. Now, who will pay you to read their emails? Businesses which want you to know about their current offers, online business, companies offering work from home opportunities are a few of them. Why do they pay you? Well, it is simply an attempt to entice you, they believe that when you read their email or see their advertisement, you'll get interested in their offer and you'll purchase the product or sign up for their offers.

To complete such offers, you need to sign up with recruiting companies. Once you sign up, you'll start receiving emails and offers to surf websites. A few companies even offer signup bonus of maybe $5, and for each email read or website surfed, you'll be paid anywhere from a cent to 5 cents or more. Some credit your account with points, and when you reach a certain number of points, you can redeem it for gifts or gift certificates. If you see an offer which you like, and you sign up for the offer, you will be credited with even more money like $50 or even $75. Before signing up for any offer, free or otherwise, be sure to read through all the terms and conditions to make sure there is no catch. These companies even pay you for each referral that you bring to them.
How much can you earn from these ways? If you thought that you could earn hundreds of dollars every day, you'll be very much disappointed. Each email read or website surfed will earn you a few cents, and by the end of the day you could have earned $10 or $20. If you complete offers, you could earn more. but even $10 per day adds to $300 per month, which could be utilised for a car loan payment or a credit card payment! A few of the websites I use consistently are Fusioncash.net, sendearnings.com and tiktikcash.com among others. Surveyscout offers a list of many more companies with which you can sign up and start receiving emails and surf websites.
Scam Alert- If you read that you could earn $25 for every email read, be assured that it is a scam!

Making money with affiliate marketing.

If you are a newbie to making money online and are just starting to research methods to achieve this, you would have definitely heard the term 'affiliate marketing' all over the internet. What exactly is affiliate marketing? Well, maybe you want to start a business of your own selling goods online. But you do not have your own products to sell. No problem, this is where affiliate marketing steps in. Rosalind Gardner, established super affiliate and well known author of 'The Super Affiliate Handbook', defines affiliate marketing as follows- 'affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and affiliate (you), in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site'. So, basically, the affiliate is like a salesperson for the company whose product he is selling. The product can be a physical product like bags, furniture, electronics, books, home decor items and much more, or it can be a digital product like ebooks which the buyer can directly download after purchase.
Affiliate marketing has been around for about a decade now and most companies including big named retail stores and electronic stores also promote their products through affiliate marketing. The most common company with an affiliate program would be Amazon.com. How much commission can an affiliate earn? Well, it depends on the percentage of commission fixed by the company, the price of the product and most importantly, how many products the affiliate is able to sell. There are affiliates who earn a few hundreds, to the super affiliates who earn thousands of dollars each month, just by promoting other's products.
Is it easy to become a super affiliate? Definitely not. Statistics shows that only about 5% to 10% of affiliates are able to gain status of superaffiliates while many get burned out after a year or 2 of affiliate marketing. What is the major difficulty in achieving success? It depends on the product selected, method of promotion and the amount of hard work put in by the affiliate.
