The Concept
Have you even been asked to come to a focus meeting to review a new product in return for a little cash? Well the same concept is now available to you online. Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation such as when telemarketers call your home. The internet has revolutionized the way corporations do business, you now have a tremendous opportunity to online surfing the internet.

How You Get Paid
Once you sign up for a online surfing site you get paid to shop and do surveys. Simply click on any of the offers on the offers page after logging in and follow the instructions. Once you have completed an offer you will be asked to click a button to indicate its completion. After it has been verified that you have completed the offer, and your account will be credited accordingly.

Get paid to refer people. You are paid a percentage of your referral's earnings. For example, if you get 20% for first level referrals and you have referred 5 people who earn $20 a month, that is an extra $20 in your pocket. If you get 100 referrals earning $20 a month, that is an extra $400 you'll earn every month. Several of these sites also pay you for second level referrals (the people that your referrals refer). And some pay you for third level referrals, etc.

If you want to take advantage of the referral programs, creating a blog or a website is a good idea. But you also need to promote your blog/website so people know it is there. A good way to promote your online surfing referral page is to post your site on traffic exchanges for free. You also want to add your sites to search engines, post to message boards, forums, and groups.

How Much Money Can You Make?
How much you can make is dependent on a few things such as what country you're from and how much time you're willing to devote to making money. As it is, most members have the opportunity to make more than a thousand dollars a month. Especially if you join more than one online surfing website.

Some online surfing sites have a minumum payout that you need to meet before they will bother sending out a check. The minimum payout amount will vary depending on which online surfing company you join because each company sets their own payout amount.

A Few Tips
Before you start doing offers, create a brand new e-mail address just for the offers, surveys, etc. that you will be doing. In fact, having multiple e-mail addresses and alternating between them helps increase approvals.

Use a free online telephone service that gives you a brand new phone number that you can give out when completing surveys, offers, etc. And you can check your messages on line. This way, your home phone will never ring with additional calls.

Conclusion
This is a great free way to make a little or alot of extra money at your leisure and from your own home. Anytime you're online you could be making money surfing without having to pay anything upfront. This can also be a supplemental source of income to pay off extra bills, or to get a fledgling business off the ground.
