There is no such thing as a working get-rich quick scheme on the internet

At least not for us.

Any site that guarantees that you will immediately start making hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a day is lying to you. Straight up lying to you.

Now, this isn't to say you can't make money on the internet (I have a $34 check being sent to me from SurveySpot right now). What I'm saying is that you can't expect to make huge amounts of money immediately.

So long as you know what sites work, you CAN make money. Just don't expect to make it your sole income, it's just a nice way to add some extra money into your pocket. Maybe you can buy some better beer one weekend or take the special someone you've had your eye on for dinner.

Honestly, I think all these sites work best for college students. We have the time wasting to do surveys, offers, etc. and are at an age where $30 is actually exciting (and can get you and a "friend" dinner at Chili's which still counts as "romantic").

And remember, never pay to join any site. Whether they're offering online surveys, rewards sites, online game testing, whatever. Don't join them. You can find everything you need just by doing a little research. Or listening to me.

Right now, I'm researching the sites promising to let you become an game tester. Expect an entry on that in the next couple of weeks.
