Now that the Internet has become part of everyday life, it's becoming an increasingly popular place to advertise
for even mainstream, non-Internet, companies. With so much competition to get advertisements in front of web surfers,
a number of companies have come up with various programs to help get their clients' messages out. The best type
of program so far has been to actually pay Internet users to browse the web. Not only will they pay you to browse
the web, they'll even pay you when you refer your friends and they surf the web.
There are also programs that will pay you for reading your E-Mail and visiting a particular site. No purchase is
necessary with any of the programs, just do what you're already doing and get paid for it!
There are a lot of programs to choose and they all have their pros and cons. If you're not sure which one to join,
sign up with AllAdvantage first. They're the company that started the industry and they are sending out checks
every month.

AllAdvantage 
AllAdvantage is the pioneer of paying internet users for surfing the web. AllAdvantage was started in March 1999
and currently has over 2,000,000 members with 10-20,000 more signing up everyday. AllAdvantage was originally open
to users in the United States, but is now open to users in the UK and Canada.
AllAdvantage offers users $.50/hour to surf the web while using their "Viewbar" (Viewbar is a trademark
of AllAdvantage.com) up to a maximum time per month. In addition to paying you to surf the web, AllAdvantage pays
you when your referrals surf the web. There is no limit on the number of people that you can refer to AllAdvantage.
You are also paid when your referrals refer users, up to 4 levels deep. When your direct referrals are online,
you receive $.10/hour (up to the maximum per month). When your indirect referrals (up to 4 levels deep) are online,
you receive $.05/hour (up to the maximum per month).
The real money making opportunity with AllAdvantage and the other programs lies with their referral programs. The
more users you can refer, the more you can make. And if you get a couple motivated people to sign up underneath
you, you can make a tremendous amount of money! If you publish an online newsletter or have a website that gets
good traffic, a simple "Earn $.50/hour to Surf the Web!" link is all you need to start building your
referral base. |

AllCommunity 
AllCommunity is the FIRST community on the web that leverages the POWER
of Consumer Control. You will now get rewarded for everything you do (or don't do for that matter!). You Don't
Even Need To Read Any Ads To Get Paid! Although one of the GREAT features of AllCommunity is to pay you by the
hour while you're surfing and viewing advertiser ads, you will also be paid while your referrals are surfing, shopping,
reading their emails or just logged on the net! |

growing their base of users very quickly. With GoToWorld, you earn $.40/hour when you surf the web, $.10/hour for

One advantage to GoToWorld, is that the instant you join, you receive the software to start earning money with
GoToWorld, no waiting!

have one browser window open at a time. When multiple windows are opened, you'll get switched back to the primary

Language Translation, Chat, Music Center, Radio, TV, and Global Messenger. |
