Actually my 1st encounter with make money online stuff was since year 1997 . Back then , it is still during the high of internet bubble (before the burst of it) . Everything was seems so simple at that time , you just need to surf , click at a few links thats all , and you'll get paid for it . No investment involved , no selling required . Practically anyone with internet connection and minimum internet knowledge can do it .
At that time , those Get Paid To Surf programmes were paying like US$0.50 per hour . Then those Get Paid To Read Mail programme were paying like $0.10 per e-mail . I myself menage to get about US$500 in cheques . Not much , but enought to covered my internet bills .
But not long after that , came the internet bubble burst . All these companies started to come down one by one . Payments become less and less . Scam labelled companies become more and more (even those that have been regularly paying) . Not sure wether they being forced by the situation or naybe that's what their plan (scam) since the very begining .
Well I guess thats the end of the glamourous moment of internet advertising era , so is the end of the Get Paid To Surf era . But some of those Get Paid To Read Mails programmes still survive until today . But of cos , the rate have been greatly reduced to merely $0.005 - $0.01 per mail .
If you still interested in these programmes , you can find them in my old
Make Money Online website .
I guess it's also the end of the 1st era of Make Money Online and the begining of 2nd era of Make Money Online . Where in 2nd era , things get abit more complex and more sophisticated , were some work and effort is required .
But of cos , everything will still will be the shortest and least efforts way . After all , I'm still the old lazy bumbum ... Hehe .
