Alladvantage- pays you for surfing the web and allowing them to share the demographics of your surfing with advertisers while protecting your personal information. Ads are displayed on the viewbar. (I don't even notice them anymore.) They pay .50cents per hour up to 25hrs a month, plus .10cents per hour for each direct referral and .05cents per hour for their referrals. (I have only one referral and make between $10-20 per month depending on how much time both my referral and I stay online.) The other family members who share the computer with you may keep the viewbar from AllAdvantage running when they surf too if they don't mind it....which would help to run up your monthly check amount. I have been paid by them already. Alladvantage only pays for time you have your browser open and are actively surfing. You get paid a percentage of those who sign up using you as their referral (but not out of their check!) and those they sign up as well. They do not pay for time you are online doing other things like writing email. At present they are upgrading their site so if you can't get in to sign up right away just try again in a few days. This viewbar can be run while other viewbars are being used as well.
AllAdvantage Join-direct referral link
If that link doesn't work you can go to their main page...AllAdvantage.
Once there click on the "sign up" link. If you go this way please be sure to enter my user ID as your referral. It is hvw-090.
Valuepay- pays the most just for being online. Same kind of rules and principle as AllAdvantage. They are paying an average of .90cents an hour and that includes time online doing things other than surfing. It can be tricky to get their download though. After you sign up, if you look on the site at the link that says "what we are about" at the bottom somewhere it has a FAQ link.....on that page it mentions how you have to send them an email with your userID to get info on downloading their viewbar (miss piggy). (I gave this info in my Egroup letter) I asked several times via email before they actually gave me the info but I downloaded it today so now it is up and running. You can auto sign up under me thru this URL:

or if any problems with that go to Valuepay Main page and click on the join link. Remember to enter my user ID as villas5mom Thanks!
CashFiesta-I just joined CashFiesta last night and their viewbar is running like a charm! They are the same principle as AllAdvantage as well except they too pay for all online activity and are currently paying out .60cents per hour. You get a percentage of those who sign up after you as well. This viewbar can be run while other viewbars and the little Mexican man on the viewbar is adorable! LOL
CashFiesta-referral direct link
or just as with the others you can go to CashFiesta main page and enter my user ID, villas5mom Thanks again!
Ebates.com-One site I really like but have no one signed up under me yet is ebates. This is not a 'pay to be online' or 'pay to surf' program but, IF you EVER shop online it is well worth your time to sign up with www.ebates.com. They have a whole directory of stores signed up with them and if you go and shop at the stores thru ebates instead of going directly to the store site itself, you get rebates on all your purchases ranging from 4% -25% of your purchase. They have familiar stores like ToysRUs and JCPenney, etc as well as less known merchants online. I loved ordering mother's day flowers thru an ebates flowerist, I order all my family's tolietries at more.com (drug store) for as low a price as my local store but no sales tax, no shipping (cause I spend over $20) and no lugging home heavy shampoo, conditioner, hairspray bottles, deodorants, etc., I use ToysRUs to send online gift certificates or have them ship a wrapped toy directly to the birthday child in another state. Getting money back on every purchase is GREAT! Ebates sends out accumulated rebate checks quarterly. Oh! and not only do they send you your earned rebates but here is the referral payment plan: When your friends join ebates.com and tell us you referred them, we'll pay you 10% back on the rebates they earn. And when your friends refer their OWN friends YOU'LL earn 5% of their rebates. Finally, if those friends refer new members you'll get 2.5% of their rebates. I'm very careful about making sure the prices are as low as my local stores and since I can often get low or free shipping and no sales tax it's worthwhile. An added way I have found I'm saving money by shopping online in general is I don't impluse by...no walking past something in a store and mall and feeling like "I just have to have it!" That's my own experience anyway.
Or if that doesn't work go to Ebates Main Page and enter my user ID villas5mom when you join. Thanks!
Paypal-is a good money earner too if you know people who might benefit by sending money to or receiving money from other people online. This is a free online service that will allow people to pay for auctions over the internet with their credit card even if the person selling the item is a non business person. (or even if you just want to send Aunt Bertha some cash, or Grandma wants to send you some.) Basically, Paypal sets up an account for you and you pay the party you owe money to by charging it to your credit card on Paypal and Paypal sends the money to the person to whom you owe it. In turn if you sell online you can use Paypal to collect payments online. Likewise, even if you don't buy or sell online you may just want to use Paypal service to send you sister in Arkansas some money online! The benefit here is you get $5 for signing up with Paypal and $5 for every person you refer who signs up also. Please read how it works on their site for they explain it much better than I did. This is an EXCELLENT service in my opinion, if you have use for it.
UtopiAd.com-I'm also signed up with UtopiAd. It's the same principal as AllAdvantage except they pay you a %share of their advertisers money. I find the amount I earn goes up very slowly on this one. But, on the more positive side the viewbar (Used to be called a Cashbar but think they now call it a Valuebar) is a bit smaller and managable than AllAdvantage's. Since I don't keep this one open quite as much as since it takes longer to earn the money I still only have .25cents on this one! LOL There site is down for another hour or so today for upgrading. Unless they changed it, you need to click on the valuebar link and again on the sign up link at the bottom of the second page in order to sign up. because they have a lower payout rate. They have other ways to earn money like reading emails, etc. but I don't have time to do those things. Viewbar can be run with other viewbars running. I'm not completely sure which info you have to submit to list me as your referral so here are both my ID# and username... My user name is villas5mom my ID # is: 460173
www.mykidsbenefit.com- you should be able to sign up for an online magazine (free) subscription to be delivered to your email box (customized to your interests). If you sign up they are supposed to send you $5. and if you sign up under me I will get $5. also. In turn, you will get $5 for everyone you get to sign up as well. I have not gotten my money yet but in emails they assure me that they are still sending out thousands in checks daily, they are just way behind due to the huge response they got. They can't tell me how long it will take but they assure me all will be paid. Doesn't cost anything to sign up and that check just may show up someday!
My Kids Benefit---You have to enter my User ID# in the referral box when you sign up. My ID # 10139490 Thanks!
These are surfing programs like AllAdvantage with whom I've signed up but these programs below do not have their download availble (their equivilant to the AllAdvantage viewbar) yet. When their programs are up an running they will email you to tell you how to download their veiwbars or equivilant. In the meantime, you can sign up and get your downline of referrals signed up as well. Some of these programs give you credit for the time your referrals spend surfing when even when their hours surpass your hours.
DotAD referral= 982955
Bluetree referral = villas5mom
Thanks for considering these programs and I hope you find something you like!
