    I'm interested in making a little income from the internet. But without falling for scams and waisting my time. I know it doesnt happen over night, plus I'm looking to make large income, realistically like if I can make 2 to 5 $ a day than hey that money on a nice vacation at the end of the year, or go out for dinner once a month or something.

    I've done some research and found these:

    1.file uploading sites: but found that you need to be a member, which cost money, so you can get paid from your downloads,, so spending 50$ to make 30 $ not really my thing.

    --if there were some that didnt cost anything and they were legit, than yeah I wouldnt have a problem trying them out.

    2.google adsense and affiliate programs: I dont have a website. So

    3.online surveys: I would give my time to fill out a survey, I just dont know which ones are legit and the proof that they are legit.

    4.get paid to play games: havent researched it enough. But it it was legit, and proof of legit, then yes I'd give my time to earn a couple of bucks.

    5.GPT sites, get paid to.: havent researched it enough.

    6.Pay to click sites: dont knoe if they are scams or legit

    so if anyone could give me direction,advise, or legit sites, even proof that they are legit, talk about their experience making money online.
    that would be great. Thanks

    The easiest, and fastest return on investment, would be clip stores or celebrity niche. I have some tutorials on both that give you the broad overview on what you need to do, investment, time and so forth. That would be a starting point.

    Most newbies are looking for something almost dummie proof, since they do not typically have skill sets needed to make a full blow successful website (traffic generation, SEO, etc..). They are also looking for R.O.I. in a reasonable amount of time. Especially if investing any money.

    If they do not see some money back on their plate in a few months, they quit.

    To earn $2 to $5 a day the simplest thing to do would be to write articles for people. Can you write?

    Why don't you try affiliate marketing. There are many free ways to get a site.

    Except for Adsense/affiliate programs, all the others you've listed are generally scams/timewasters. Why don't you make a website on something you know well and try Adsense or some other advertising program?

    What other skills do you have? You might want to try a hand at some forum posting jobs here at DP. Best and easiest way to earn your first few bucks online.

    I can write but it takes time to proof read it and correct it.

    as far as owning a website, I would be open to that if it's a free one,,, I would like one of these days to get into a paid website, find a good hosting company, but not right now, maybe I should try the bloging like alot of people are doing,

    so how does adsense work, is it click per pay or more like classic advertisement, where they pay you just to place adds on your site?


    I wouldnt have a problem doing the pay to click program or even the survey, just dont want to waist my time and or fall to a scam.

    thanks guys, anymore advice

    I would say the easiest way is affiliate marketing to get you started. Why because you don't need a website you just promote someones product and get paid up to 75% commission. Find a market that has a high demand, and fill that demand.

    The best one and long term income source is google adsense in your research list though it takes some time to build sites and start earning from them. If you want daily and quick money then depending upon your talent, you can offer services like forum posting or blog commenting or directory submissions or article writing or link building, etc..

    Personally, if you are from the US, just sign up at Associated Content and get started. If you cannot make money at this, dont even bother to try earn an income online. Easy 200-400$ monthly with a little creativity.

    Start your own site, promote it, ad ads to your site and earn money. Starting your site will not take a lot of money from you.

    Adsense income is the primary source the newbies get into.
