[Tutorial] Make money online doing next to nothing...
I posted this guide on another forum and figured I'd post it here... saw that diddlez already posted something about one of these "make money" sites which I already had on my guide so I replaced my link with his referral link for that one. I've elaborated on the methods to a fair extent but if anyone has a question definitely ask... My personal best way to make cash is the first site listed under the "offer sites" category... Mostly by installing trash software on a virtual machine, switching my ip, and repeating the process. If anyone is interested, I've got another method to earn $45 max per month that you don't need to do any work at all for... Just reply to let me know that you are interested and I'll explain it. You will need a fairly decent pc for it, but other than that it's straightforwrard. (BTW it's not bitcoin if that's what you were thinking) (Edit: added it above)
Also please understand that this guide won't get you rich... It's just a way to make a few bucks if you need it here or there.

Welcome!

I am writing this to help you get started making money online. I have been looking into ways to make money online every day for two months, and I have found many methods that work, but also many that DON'T work. I can help you by telling you what sites will work, which sites won't work, and give you tips along the way. Note that the links I provide you may be referral links which may benefit me, but will not decrease your earnings whatsoever. I do not ask for money for this guide, so using the referral links I provide helps me out a great deal.
Now, onto the topic...
How to earn money online
I will break down the methods into 3 categories and provide useful links and tips for each, along with giving a short description of how they work.
First Category
Offer Sites
Offer sites involve complete offers such as signing up for newsletters, doing surveys, and downloading trial software which earn you money (or sometimes points that can be spent on prizes).
PROS
CONS
- Sometimes offers don't credit
- You usually need to reach a minumum amount before getting paid
The first thing you want to do before signing up for a offer site is create a new e-mail address. Almost every offer asks for an e-mail address, meaning you will be flooded with newsletters ect. if you use your main e-mail address.
Here are a few free e-mail providers that I use. All of them work fine.
Always write down the username and password.
Also, a lot of the offers ask for your cell phone number... don't give it up... you'll probably get calls and texts all through the night... You can get a free text number at www.pinger.com (and you'll be able to check the texts online) and you can also use google voice www.voice.google.com as an alternative.
Another thing that you should have ready is an autocomplete browser addon. This will allow you to do offers much quicker, without having to type your information for each offer.
Firefox has a very good auto-complete addon called Autofill. Here is a link to it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...utofill-forms/
Opera has this built in under SETTINGS --> PREFERENCES in the opera menu. Look for the forms tab.
Google Chrome should have this built in too.
Here is the first offer site I will mention.

(Y) http://anoney.com/?http://www.treasu...per.com/757789
Requirements
- Must have paypal to receive payments (or you can have a check sent to your house)
The site gives cash for completion of offers or platinum coins that can be exchanged for gift cards / iPod nano / Xbox 360. They have a lot of offers, meaning there is a potential to make quite a bit of money in a short amount of time if you get good at completing the offers.
Sometimes there are multiple offers given by the same advertiser --- for example if there are two that appear extremely similar, they are probably the same advertiser and will only give you credit for doing one of the two. To ensure you get credit for both, use a different e-mail address for each one, and clear cookies and cache every time you finish an offer.
For the software installations, scroll down to the end of the "offer sites" section... I explain how to use either sandboxie or virtualization software to quarantine these programs because 99% of them are loaded with adware. These offers pay high ($00.75 to $1.00) so it's worth doing them.
Edit- took some info out because one of the little tricks I had was more or less patched... It involved changing the url on a page after installing software, but now that page has been built into the program --- I think you can still change the url but you have to use the program fiddler2 or something (errr... too lazy to try to figure it out right now). I will however say that if you are doing a game installation for example, you should leave the game running for a good 10 mins or so because when you close it, it reports back how long you have played it, and the offer will probably only credit if you've played more than 10 mins.
Be careful when doing the offers that aren't software installations because some of the offers branch off by offering more things, and the "NO THANKS" link is hard to find... Don't be fooled into thinking you have to do those additional offers, just look for the NO THANKS and SKIP buttons.
Here is an example of one of those instances: http://i.imgur.com/EeLfd.jpg
Also, some offers on the site cost money, so make sure you change the filter to only show offers that are "100% Free". I suggest also sorting by pay amount, and don't be tempted to do one of the high paying offers (I only do offers $1 or less) because usually the higher paying offers want you to sign up for a credit card.

(Y) http://anoney.com/?http://www.cashcrate.com/425439 <---DiDDLEZ LiNK
Requirements
- Must live in USA
- Must have a bank account to deposit checks if you want your money
Same thing as TreasureTrooper except no option to get paid by paypal. Same minimum payout ($20). There are also POINTS that you can earn to get prizes (iPods, Video Games, other electronics). You can also gamble your points by playing flash games in daily or weekly tournaments. The points seem hard to come by on this site, but the cash is easy to earn. You can ask them to hold off on sending the check until reach a higher amount than the minimum. Even once they send the check you can keep earning more money for next time you reach $20.
The only bad thing about this site is that sometimes the offers are not credited. The good thing is that a majority of them do credit, and are sometimes as much as $1 each, and only take 30 seconds to complete.

Requirements
- May need to verify address by having a small freebie sent to your house in order to do certain things on the site.
This site is pretty well set up, however the offers seem to not credit as often as some of the other sites. The good thing is that you can order almost anything that can be found on amazon as long as you have enough "points". If you are good at gaming you can earn points by winning small tournaments. If you find that you are really good at one particular game, you can keep playing it to earn a lot of points.

Requirements
- Must have Skril (Moneybookers), PayPal, or Liberty Reserve to recieve payments
This site has VERY low minimums for getting paid. You only need to make $2 to get the payment to paypal. Payments aren't automated, but there is almost always an admin online who will send you the money minutes after you request it. Another good thing about this site is that there is a shoutbox where you can talk to the admins and other members about offers. The admins are really encouraging and will motivate you to keep earning XD
One last warning + tip about offer sites
These sites sometimes have offers that involve downloading software, such as a download manager, software that adds "interesting" layouts to your facebook profile, and games... Be warned! Most of these programs contain CONSTANT POPUPS and cause SLOWDOWNS. In order to get credit for these, you must download AND INSTALL. The offers are VERY easy, but will cause you a huge headache because they might be hard to fully un-install. You have THREE options to complete these offers without ending up with a bunch of advertisement software:
- (EASY) Use an old computer that you don't ever use
- Use a Virtual Machine
- Use Sandboxie
A virtual machine allows you to run an operating system within your operating system... Everything you do within the virtual machine stays within that virtual machine and will not affect your computer whatsoever. To set one of these up, you need an operating system installation CD and virtualization software such as https://www.virtualbox.org/ - The other option is the program Sandboxie which might be easier for you. You install it, then right click the tray icon and choose "DefaultBox" then ---> "RUN ANY PROGRAM" this lets you open the software you downloaded, and immediately quarantining it, but letting it run until you have credit for completing the offer. Once you have credit, you can right the tray icon again and choose "DefaultBox" ---> Delete Contents. Here is the link to Sandboxie www.sandboxie.com/
My favorite way is to use virtualization software to create a base operating system with google chrome installed (works well with completing the offers), then right click on it in the list and choose "Clone" --> "Linked clone". Now load the linked clone and install all of the garbage software you can. Once the machine gets too horribly slow from all the adware/toolbars/other filth you can right click and delete that virtual machine, re-clone the first one, and then continue.
Second Category
Link Redirectors
Link redirection sites will allow you to shorten a long url to a shorter one, which also causes an advertisement to be displayed for about 5 seconds. Any time anyone clicks your link, you get paid a very small amount of money. If you are creative and can think of a way to get people to click the link, you will make some money. Otherwise, you can use traffic exchange sites and software to get your link clicked from many different people.
PROS
- Make money while you sleep
- Easy to share traffic using many traffic exchange sites
CONS
- Requires a LOT of clicks
- Sometimes on traffic exchange sites, people use proxies, which don't get credited as a click.

Requirements
- Paypal or Alertpay to receive payments
Pays about $5 per 1,000 clicks.
#2
(Y) http://anoney.com/?http://adfoc.us/?refid=11536
Requirements
- Paypal or Alertpay to receive payments
Pays about $6 per 1,000 clicks. The one downside about this one is that the advertisement looks like a download page for something the person clicking might be looking for, but it's actually a download manager (which is probably loaded with advertisement software). Always warn whoever is visiting your links to click the "SKIP AD" button in the upper right corner when it appears. Allegedly you get credit even if they don't click skip, but sometimes the skip button is hard to notice so always tell visitors to look for it.

(Y) http://anoney.com/?http://genk.me/?r=200
Requirements
- Paypal to receive payments
Pays $4.43 per 1,000 USA visitor clicks (rate changes). Advertisement lasts 10 seconds so this is pretty annoying for people who may click your links.

Third Category
File Hosting
PROS
- Make money while you sleep
- Easy
- Decent money
CONS
- Surveys to download is VERY annoying (firecash)
You upload a file (usually has to be at least 1MB, the larger the more money) and then you can share the link and earn money each time someone downloads since the download is protected by a survey/offer. People are less likely to download the file if it isn't worth their time to do the surver/complete the offer.

(Y) http://anoney.com/?http://firecash.o...html?ref=47602
Requirements
- Paypal, Alertpay, Moneybookers or wire transfer to receive payments
$10 minimum payout. The file better be worth it... Leaked family recipe, anyone? XD
#2
(Y) http://anoney.com/?http://sharecash....hp?ref=1635588
Requirements
$20 minimum payout.
The site works by allowing you to upload a file and protect it with a survey for people to do. When they complete the survey, their download is available, and you get paid. People are discouraged from completing the surveys unless whatever you have up for grabs is valuable.

Good Luck!

That's all I've got right now. As I come up with more methods and/or sites, I can add to the guide. Let me know if this helped and I will be sure to send you an update. Now, for the last and final section of the guide...
Sites to avoid
Be aware of these scams...
(N) Get paid to click ads
I was almost ripped off by a site that paid for clicking advertisements - the concept of the site was you would log in once a day and be given 10 to 20 links to click for $00.01 each (10 cents per day). This seemed decent, and they had account upgrades that would boost earnings to about 10 cents per click ($1 per day). The membership cost was $15, meaning my money would double by the end of one month. I was about to buy a membership upgrade and I noticed that day, the pay per click for the premium membership dropped to ~5 cents per day, meaning I would be paying $15 only to get $15 at the end of the month, after wasting my time clicking tons of ads.
(N) Youtube Viewing sites
I can't speak for ALL of these sites. There are some that simply exchange view for view, which is legitimate. There are others that claim to pay you for your views. I left my computer on for a month straight to earn enough to get about $10 - $20 and ended up burning out the power supply (the fan wasn't working and I wasn't aware). I requested my payout using another computer and I haven't been paid yet even though it has been a couple of weeks. The owners of the site don't have any interest in paying you, they just want the profit. They stall.
(N) VIP Fire
This site is just downright sketchy. They want a photocopy of your drivers license before you get your payout. The site design is weak too, so I doubt it's legit.
