What are "Paid for" Opportunities?

"Paid for" is exactly that. It is work of some kind that you are paid for. In this age of the computer, much of it relates to online business and traffic, or web page hits.

One opportunity is the "click" program. A company will assign you a list of sites, and you will be required to "land" on that page for a minimum of X seconds, usually 20, before leaving and going on to the next. You will only be allowed to visit the site once each day, and may only be required to visit all sites once, before getting a new list. Payment is either in credits per click, which accrue and are converted to cash, or they are in cash. However the pay is very minimal, and it takes a lot of mouse work to make a few dollars. That's why many people have gone to the auto-surfer programs. This software will open a list of sites in your browser window, moving on to the next by a built-in timer. There's no hands-on work required, but again, the pay is very minimal. Auto-surfer programs are also prone to scams, called auto-surfer Ponzi programs, named after a famous Italian scammer from 1903. These involve making an investment, for which you are guaranteed what seems to be an excellent return on your money, earned on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Avoid these at all costs.

Another opportunity is pay for clicking banners or emails. This works the same way as surfing sites, with credits or cash for each click. In the case of emails, those are usually a daily or weekly letter sent out by a company, which contains paid advertising, and you are required to click through to each site.

You can also earn cash by signing up for free programs, from a list you are given by the company you work for. After sending them your welcome email from the signup, you are credited for that site.

Although these programs may not be illegal, they are certainly unethical. When businesses pay money to advertise, they expect that potential consumers will view their ads, not people who are paid to view their ads.
