To begin, we need to realize that there are 2 ways to go about making money on the Internet. But this is all dependent on your own personal situation. How you decide to proceed will be determined by how you answer the following question..

Do you have more time available to build your business, or do you have more disposable money available?


Either way, I will suggest that you join a program that offers residual income as soon as possible. Residual income is something that pays you month-after-month (or weekly, yearly, even), that you only do the work for, once! This can be a small safelist  that pays you for referrals as well as a monthly income based upon your referrals upgrading and renewing each month, or a full-fledged program with a tiered payment system in place.

You can find a list of the programs I suggest here.

Ok, so you are in the same boat as many people out there. Most of us have one or the other, but usually not both, right? Actually, when I asked myself this question, I figured I had none of either! But, in re-evaluating, and looking a little deeper, I realized that I could make time, but I could not make extra money--yet! Obviously, I chose the "more time" option. Once I began to make a little extra money, I slowly tried some of the "more money" options, and to this day, I work them together.


I have taken the liberty of outlining these 2 separate ways you can get started online.

 More Time than Money

I'll tell you now, this method is cheaper, but it will take you quite a bit longer to see results. They will come, mind you, just not as fast as we would like to see. Be patient. It will be worth the wait.

Here's what you need to do:
Join one program from the list I recommended (most of them are free).
Once you have done that, go to the Safelist and Traffic Exchanges page here, and join as many as you can.
Note: You should create folders in your bookmarks for all of the login pages you will have. I will suggest that you name them something like this: Monday Safelists, Tuesday Safelists, etc. and Monday Traffic, Tuesday Traffic, etc. Here's how you can do this:

In Firefox: Open the login page of the safelist you joined. Click Bookmarks, click bookmark this page. A pop-up box will show on your screen. Click the little arrow, then the New Folder link, and name your folder. You can also add a description for that folder if you like. Once this is done, select that folder from the list (you may have to click the little arrow again to see all of your folders). Click Ok. That's it! Next, whenever you join a new safelist, put the login page in that folder.
I usually like to put about 10 in each folder, to surf for credits, and send safelist ads for each day. I also like to shoot for surfing to 100 in each of 10 Traffic Exchanges per day.

After you join your safelists and traffic exchanges, you will need to add a site to advertise! Here's where it all starts!
Where you are asked to put in your own site, use your referral link for the program you joined from the recommended list!

There are a few more ways you can create slow, but steady income online. Join PayTo sites. Some of these pay you to read emails, some survey sites are good, and some pay you to click links to view a website. Her is a list of some of the PayTo that I use.

Wordlinx
ClixSense



Next, you should create

More Money than Time

 This method will bring you quicker returns, but is more expensive than the free options listed above.

 Again, you should become a member of something that will pay you residual income, before doing anything else! Here's the list again.

Ok. These days, there are  a few programs out there that will pay you just for being a member! Sites like:

GibLink 
GibLink is a community of networkers changing the way the Internet works for them. You will be paid just for being a member, as 70% of  the company's revenue is paid back toi all members. Of course, if you decide to promote this program, and introduce more members, you will be paid more. You have the choice of joining as a monthly, quarterly, or yearly member. GibLink will also reward you for your commitment to them, by awarding you more monthly shares if you purchase a longer subscription. eg. Upgrading to yearly member will pay you more than quarterly, and quarterly will pay you more than those who have only committed on a month-to-month basis. I can attest to the fact that you do get paid even without referring anyone--I did!!

Other sites will require a small investment, but pay you a dividend on that money. Sites like:

Driven Rapid Wealth
DRW is an advertising investment site. They actually pay you to advertise with them! You can order an advertising package for as low as $10.00. For this, you will be able to advertise one Banner, and one Text Link (per purchase), until your AdPack matures (pays you double your investment). You will also be able to use your dividend to purchase more AdPacks, thus increasing the speed in which you are paid out.

Here's what I did when I started: I purchased one 10 dollar AdPack. Once I saw this working, I purchased a 20 dollar AdPack. After that, I kept reinvesting each time my balance reached the minimum cost  ($10.00), to buy another one. Once I built it to a nice daily income, I let the balance build until I received my original $30.00 back. Since then, I have been reinvesting each time I reach the 10 bucks! This way, I have lost nothing, risk has disappeared, and I keep making money and advertising!
