Initially when someone told me that you can get paid by reading emails I thought it would be a scam, until I tried it myself. It's true that you can get paid by emails and it's also true that you wont get rich by reading emails. For each and every email that you read you get a few cents and moreover you receive only a few mails per day. There are plenty of websites providing this service and all you need is just one email address to start earning money. Here I have listed a couple of websites which provides this service.
- cashdelight
- gainmail
- fusionmails
- bgpaymail
- WideCircles
- surveystorage [Get paid to fill surveys]
Apart from reading emails there are various other jobs offered like
- Getting paid to sign up to free offers
- Getting paid to complete online surveys
- Getting paid to review a product and so on.
Wide Circles is one such platform, where they pay publishers for posting in forums, commenting on blogs etc. You will have to strictly follow their guidelines in doing so and making yourself eligible to get paid. Now you may ask how are these advertisers earning by doing so ? Here the advertisers are getting plenty of cheap traffic for very low pay. It is much easier in terms of effort and cost to advertise in such websites than to advertise in Google, MSN or Yahoo. Say for example if you want to advertise using a keyword say "refinance", a highly competitive keyword, you will have to spend a good amount of time and money in making your 'ad' reach the first page of the search results. You can otherwise advertise with such websites for as low as 0.02 cents for the same keyword to get a huge amount of cheap traffic.
