Work on the Net

December 25th 2006 05:47
One of the reasons I've been spending so much time on the Net lately is that I've been trying to find some work - not so much in the sense of real paid employment by a typical company (I've been doing that as well) but in the sense of picking up a few extra dollars to keep us more afloat. I can't say that the promises of many of the places who claim to pay out heaps of money come to anything. Invariably they want you to pay them first, and though some will offer a money-back guarantee, I'm getting very cagey about those ones that have long flashy letters with testimonials from people who don't appear to have addresses and who finally, at the very bottom of their letter, tell you that this is going to cost you $420 but they've reduced it - for the next two minutes - to $49.95. Huh?

The only genuine one I've come across so far is Blogitive, which is an off-shoot of US Web.com. They've consistently paid me what they said they'd pay. It isn't a large amount because they opportunities to get paid are limited, but at least it's always been there when they said. Another crowd, Bloggingads started off well, giving me two jobs within a short time of my contacting them. And then paid me straightaway. Since then...zilch! It's like they've vanished off the map. The website is still there, but there's no access to your personal account, and no way of getting into it except by registering with them all over again.

They have several testimonials on their site, but they're all several months old. However, I just discovered that one of them refers to another site, MyLot, where apparently you can earn money by being involved in the discussions. I can only give it a go. Anyone interested in checking it out can use this referral: http://www.mylot.com/?ref=mcrowl

I'm only just starting up with it myself, so I'll keep you posted on how it pans out.
