Many people look for ways to earn a bit of extra cash online with no investment. The truth is that finding the true companies that allow you to do this is difficult. I have been searching for companies for well over three years and have found a few but the list is very slim.

The main resource people turn to to earn extra cash with no investment online is the survey companies. Many companies will allow you to sign up free of charge t take their so called paid surveys. Many times your time invested in the application is the only survey you ever receive. Over my three years I have signed up with over 200 companies and listed below is the only legit ones that I have found out of all of them.

• Pinecone Research- Site sends a survey or two approximately every month. Each survey pays $5.00. Payment is sent by check or paypal. These surveys are usually not over 10-15 minutes long. You may also receive household update surveys which are not paid but may qualify you for future paying surveys. These surveys are generally less than 5 minutes. The only way to join this panel is to find the Pinecone banner somewhere on the internet and sign up from it. You can not just go to their website and they do not have a referral program.
• NFO(My Survey)- This survey sends one to a few surveys each month. Each survey earns points that can be redeemed for merchandise,cash, or donated to charity. You get at least 10 points for taking the qualifying survey. If you qualify the survey will tell you how many points you will get to finish the actual survey and how long it should take to complete it. The longer the survey the more points you receive. If you think you might be interested in this company here is the link to a sign up page: http://fun.mysurvey.com/join.c fm?r=1895060.

You can also find many companies by doing an online search. How many will honestly pay is the only drawback to searching online.
Many people today are also turning to the PTR (Paid to Read) and the PPC (Pay per Click) sites as a means of earning a bit of extra cash with no investment. These sites are just as tricky as the survey companies in trying to get people to use their companies and not being legit once you do. I have found many of these companies to be scams. I have only found around three that I trust.

• Inbox Dollars- Sends a few emails a day and you are paid mere pennies to click and read these emails. They also offer a few games and additional earning opportunities. If you take an offer you not only get paid for reading the offer but also the points the offer is good for. They also offer a paid survey each day worth a dollar if you qualify. To join you may send me your name and email to become my referral or simply go to the site to sign up.
• My Points- This site allows you to read emails and earn points. If you accept an offer you earn the points of that specific offer. They may also send a few surveys at various times that earn you points. Points can be redeemed for various items. To sign up for this one you can again send your name and email to me to become my referral or simply go to the site and sign up from there.
• Cash4Offers- This is a paid to read site also. It seems to be going well but I have not verified it to be legit yet. You earn cents for reading emails and once you reach a certain amount can cash it out for cash. If you take the offer you earn the amount the email states the offer is worth. They also at times offer surveys. To join this site follow the directions of the previous two sites.

There are many more sites to choose from online. I will however warn you of the scams I have fell victim to. The following companies will not pay what they say they do!

• Girls mails- Scam Scam Scam once you reach payout you will never receive your check. Catch they say they pay way to much to be real and they are NOT legit.
• Jurrasic Mails- This company is identical to girls mails just with a different name
• Piggy bank mails- They are a bit more realistic but if you do not watch your earnings they cheat you and you never reach payout. I know this from great experience. I would not suggest wasting your time.
• 60 dollar mails- Don't pay. Promises you will get rich from reading. Fake!
• Millionaire mails- The name says it all do I need to say more. Fraud!

The best way to prepare yourself in this type business is to use common sense. If it sounds too good to be true chances are it honestly is. It takes years to earn much from these type companies so if you don't have patience and time you are probably not going to succeed unless you use the companies that others have already tried and deemed to be legit. Good luck on your quest in finding legit investment free ways to earn cash on the internet.
