People have found all kinds of ways to make money on the Internet without having to spend any first. Most are well known, and it is easy to get started. It is doubtful you will make enough to live on, but some extra money laying around for emergencies is definitely possible. There are as many scams out there as there legitimate opportunities, so be sure to check these sites out before you spend a lot of time on them.
If you find yourself needing anything close to a full time income, the most likely place to find it is freelance sites, like elance.com and guru.com. The signup process can take a while, but these sites usually have quite a few jobs listed, in everything from translation to computer programming. Once you find a job you like, you can submit a proposal for it. Keep in mind you will be competing with many other people for most of these jobs. If the company accepts your proposal, you will be notified and you can then begin the job. Your rate of pay will be determined by the type of job it is, how much the company can afford, and a few other smaller factors.
Most of these sites have free accounts, although it can be much harder to find work. For example, one site only allows free members to bid on three jobs a month, while the first level of paid membership gets you up to 20 bids. But if you're diligent and spend some time on your profile and resume, you can make a good income from these sites without having to upgrade. Once you've had some success, you can always upgrade your account later with some of the money you have made.
If you just need some extra spending money, probably the most popular method is GPT sites. This includes paid to read and paid to click sites, in which the members get paid to read emails or click ads from different advertisers. These sites usually offer other ways to make money as well, like signing up for offers, shopping, playing games or answering trivia. Most also have referral bonuses, where you earn either a flat rate for every member you refer or a percentage of their earnings.
However, what you get paid per email or ad is usually fractions of a penny, and they have a minimum amount of money required in your account before you can request to be paid. This means that it can be a while before you earn enough on any one site to actually see any money. Despite all of this, these sites are free to join and incredibly easy to earn with. If you have enough patience, you'll eventually see your payday.
Another popular way to make free money online is through surveys. Like GPT sites, most of these are free to join, so there is no investment except your time. It can be tough to qualify for some surveys, but if you work at it, you could potentially be making a few hundred dollars a month. In today's world of needing a degree and five years experience to start an entry level job, that's not bad for answering a few questions.
There are a lot of other ways to make money online without having to spend any money first, but these are just a few of the more popular ones to get you started. But remember, even though these don't cost any money, like anything, they require an investment of time and effort in order to be successful.
