Top Five Ways to Earn Extra Money Online at Home for Free

Here's a fact: everybody wants to earn extra money. We all have bills to pay, families to feed, and the list goes on and on...

Discover several legitimate ways to earn extra money online for free using your computer at home.

You probably wonder how much extra income you can make? Well, it depends on how much time and energy you are going to put in.

Here are five legitimate online opportunities for everybody to earn extra cash fast:

1. Get paid to read email

This is probably one of the oldest online income opportunity. In order to get started all you need is your own e-mail address. If you have an Internet access at home, you probably already have an e-mail address too? Otherwise, you can open your own email account and receive your personal e-mail address for free at:

http://www.yahoo.com or http://www.hotmail.com

Actually, be prepared to use your e-mail address with any of the extra income opportunities that I have listed in this article.

How 'get paid to read email' programs work? Simply, online advertisers pay commissions to the paid email companies for sending their advertisements via e-mail to members who want to get paid for reading emails. When you receive a paid e- mail, in order to receive your cash you should click on the link and visit an advertiser's web site.

How much you can earn? Not much. The paid email companies pay from $0.01 up to $1.00 per e-mail that you read. Usually the more they pay, the higher is their payout minimum. It means that you can request your payment only after you have earned a certain amount of money.

It really wouldn't be worth your time if paid e-mail companies didn't have referral or affiliate programs. As an affiliate you can refer new members to their programs and get paid a percentage of what your referrals earn.

Note that if you want to make serious money you'll need to recruit at least several hundred referrals. Not to worry though - there are some free ways to accomplish that, as you will soon discover. Besides, visitor to sign up conversion ratios are very high, since get paid to read programs are totally free to join!

It is very important to select only legitimate paid email companies. Here's a short list of proven 'get paid to read e-mail' companies:

i) WowEarnings - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/wowearn
ii) InboxDollars - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/idollars
iii) E-mailPaysU - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/epaysu

2. Get paid to take surveys

When you join paid survey programs, online merchants pay you for your opinions on their products and services. The problem is that in order to access top paid survey companies you have to pay an access fee.

Here are some top-notch web sites that offer huge databases of paid survey programs:

i) Survey Scout - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/sscout
ii) Paid For Free - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/paid4free
iii) Survey Platinum - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/surveyp

3. Get paid to complete offers

At the moment, this is one of the most lucrative ways to earn extra money online working from home. Again, online merchants pay commissions to visitors... but not for opinions, not for their ads delivered via e-mail, but for trying their products and services. The offers include credit card applications, ISP services, membership clubs, free trials and samples, etc.

You can earn up to $70 extra money just for a single offer completed. Usually, the more extra cash you earn per offer, the more you have to pay per S&H or trial membership. However, if you really need a product or service that is offered, this is a great opportunity to accept it on the Internet, simply using your computer at home. Plus, you get paid extra cash for accepting terrific deals!

Top get paid for offers programs:

i) Cash4Offers - http://www.cash4offers.com
ii) WowEarnings - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/wowearn
iii) CashFiesta - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/cashf
iv) SearchCactus - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/scactus
v) InboxDollars - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/idollars

4. Get paid to shop online

This way to earn extra money is very similar to paid offers opportunity. You get paid a certain percentage of what you spend at online stores.

Cash4Offers and WowEarnings have super get paid to shop online stores. So, if you like to shop online, why not get paid for doing it?

5. Get paid for marketing affiliate programs

As I mentioned earlier, you cannot earn a lot cash unless you join affiliate programs of these 'get paid to' companies, and earn commissions from your referrals.

If you don't want to get involved in the affiliate marketing, the only option is to join a get paid to complete offers company and earn several hundred dollars by completing offers that interest you.

However, if you are serious about making extra income online from the comfort of your home, you should join 'get paid to' (or other) affiliate programs and promote them on the Internet.

Ideally, you should create your own web site. Here are some useful resources from top online affiliate marketers that will help you to get started:

i) Corey Ruld - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/crcourse
ii) James Martell - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/jm
iii) Ken Evoy - http://www.cash4offers.com/r/sbires

Of course, you can succeed as an affiliate even without your own web site. The best free way to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate programs is by writting your own articles and submitting them to major article directories:

* http://www.goarticles.com
* http://www.articlecity.com
* http://www.article-emporium.com
* http://www.ezinearticles.com
* http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce

If you think that you cannot write, check out Jim Edwards' "Turn Words Into Traffic" letter. I hope that he will convince you that you can:

When joining a 'get paid to' affiliate program look what affiliate marketing tools & resources the company gives you. The only 'get paid to' affiliate program that offers two-tier affiliate commissions, ready-to-use articles, free reports that you can give away to your web site visitors, affiliate e-course and much more, is Cash4Offers.

As you can see, some 'get paid to' companies offer you several ways to earn extra money in one place. For example, WowEarnings gives you an all-in-one-place extra income opportunity to get paid to read e-mails, complete offers, shop and refer your friends.

But if you want to make the most extra income working from home in your spare time, you should get involved with affiliate marketing, and start with the Cash4Offers affiliate program.
