Notice from Dooga:

Warning: You may be promoting something illegal and may not know it yourself.

Please avoid Pyramid schemes as they are serious and can result in your bank or PayPal account being banned.

A pyramid scheme involves referring many people while you first pay a few dollars to each person on some sort of list. Most likely you have to modify the list and add your name, while promoting that list. They often come with a convincing story about how this is perfectly legal. Do not fall for that.

In this forum for money makers, members will post links to a vast variety of sites. The Internet is a very big place, and because of that, you can easily get scammed, and this is the point of this thread. Here's some points I'd like to address before you think about joining any of these "Surf and get 50 bucks an hour" or "Read emails and get 30 dollars an hour". This is meant to make this forum a resource of good money makers, and for the benefit of trap17 members.

Sometimes, even the members who suggest these sites on this forum don't even know they're getting scammed. There have been some sites on this forum which have been revealed as scams. As always, keep caution when joining these sites.

1. Before joining, I highly recommnend you visit this "Earning Money Online" forum, it has a reliable community of people who share and talk about money earning sites. Take a quick look through them, and look around and see if the site you are joining is posted as a scam on their site. If so, then you should consider not to join. Furthermore, this site has a great source of reliable sites that will actaully pay you.

If you really want to protect yourself, you can do a search on the website for the URL of the site.

http://getpaidforum.com/forums/

2. Look at the list of sites that are already identifed as scams using the following links below:

http://www.munkeyland.com/scamptr.html (Doesn't work as of who knows when)

3. Like how the old saying goes: If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.


Keeping these points in mind, it's time to start earning some money!! :angry:

Thanks for that information! Although, I don't know if I can join any money makers online...I'm probably too young (Most I've seen won't accept it if you aren't 18 or older...I'm 15). Still, if I find one, I'll keep those tips in mind!

Many don't ask for your age, as long as you have a PayPal or some sort of money account, they'll pay you.

Yeah, that's another problem...I don't have any of those either...I could get one, I know. Oh, and most that I've been to asked for your age, that's why I said that. I haven't attempted to try many.

can you roughly tell us how the http://studiotraffic.com works? and also if possible tell us how much you get paid for last month or maybe average it if you get paid more than one month.

Anyway, what's this e-gold account. I read a lot of topics from the Make Money Forum and many members mentioned this method of payment. Maybe I'll find something on Google. Wish me luck. Or someone please explain me. Thank you in advance. I hope I won't get your precious time::)

I've entered on getpaidforum and I'm going to register. I really recommend you this site.

And I think it's a problem with Munky Land. It says domain expired when I've tried to access it. It also has a RENEWAL link. Can I renew this domain even if I am not the owner? :)

Instead of triple posting, ask a mod to merge your posts by pressing the 'REPORT!' button at the bottom of your post... k?

What's the pay rate like for these things?

I can't help but imagine that anyone would make more money stacking shelves at a local supermarket - or even, making a semi-successful website and advertising with google ad-sense.

Sounds to me like a complete con.

I never believe in all those advertisments. Actually if you really want to look for something free, ignore all those sites which have plenty of “free”s in its page. Either there are a lot of unreasonable conditions, or there are a lot of unreasonable hidden free. This is true in nearly every part of the business world. If they say that they are free, just ignore them.

If they say that they are paying you money, you should quit.

For you guys wondering more about studiotraffic and want to read about it elsewhere than on the site itself, have a look at my review of studiotraffic at my site. I bring up both the negative and positive aspects, deal with what payment processors can be used, as well as the basics of studiotraffic etc.

Quick note : Studiotraffic has no required age - you can be 15 or whatever.

Anyone used google adsense? I think that unless you have a lot a lot of traffic, the amount you get from pay per clicks or per search is so extremely puny. Not to mention that nowadays people don't click on advertisements if they haven't already blocked them with whatsoever kind of toolbar.

Anyway, I think we shouldn't be too greedy and try to earn money online through simple means. I mean money is hard earned and wages are paid based on one's productivity and skill. If it sounds all too easy and doesn't require much skill then I think its just too good to be true, or you just earn peanuts; too little to be even worth you checking your account once in a while.

Well, There is no perfect way to make money online. The only way is keep your eyes and mind open all the time.
How you can believe a site that is giving away $50 as sign up bonus?
You should always keep an eye on the get paid forums, so that you can know which site is not paying to the users.

If you are a web master, then there are other ways like Ad publishing on your site. and it is much safer than GPTRE etc.

There are other sites that work as a plateform for Freelancer job seekers and providers. If you are a programmer or just can do something usefull then you might get some job here and get paid hopefully.

paypal is from e-bay.. or mabie amazon, I forget..

Anyway, you give them your credit card number, and it's basically a secure online way to pay for stuff, rather then just typing in your credit card number and having them use it to by shirts. Lots of shirts. Pure silk shirts. Scared yet? Anyways, the paypal system is all third party, so you don't even have to wory about them stealling your paypal account. If anyone remembers, there was a site that had "fake" paypal pages that changed the address in the location bar and everything, so it was a scam, and it was reported to the FBI, scary stuff.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think:

Paypal was started alone then ebay bought it.

sometimes you can try HYIP but i dont know which best HYIP you can join.

I'm intruiged by some of the sites of this type. From what I read so far, it seems that Google Adsense, 4daily, 12dailypro and StudioTraffic are among the more trustworthy of the making money sites.

Okay, this time I want to ask a quick question. As intruiging as these "make money online" sites seem, how many of them can pay in the local currency?. The reason I ask is that I'm currently living in Japan (hence, I have a Japanese address, bank account, etc.) If I sign up and take part on one of these sites, will I get paid in yen (in my case)..or will it be in U.S. dollars?

Any feedback/advice is welcome.
