Making money with a home based business

HI, If your like me you've been around computers for a long time but never thought to look for ways to make any money with them. With the economic downturn more people than ever are turning to the internet to find ways to earn more money.
STAY AWAY FROM PROJECT PAYDAY
I punched "make money online" into google a few months ago and found a program called PROJECT PAYDAY, basically it was a paid to join site, where one got paid for signing up for free trials offers from various large corporations. After a seven or fourteen day trial if you had not canceled your trial in time, the corporations hit you bank account for however much money.
I lost a lot of money on this system and don't advise anyone to go there,
some of the programs that I canceled hit my account anyway and it was a real hassle getting my money back. The whole thing is a scam.
MAYBE MIB?
Next I found "My Instant Business", this site is run by people that I feel are honest and trustworthy. They have a forum and many new members posted that they were doing well.
You get to try the program free for twenty five days after which they charge you $17.95 a month the idea is that by the time your twenty five day free trial is up you will have found at least one new member who signed up under you thus paying for your first month membership giving you another thirty days to find and sponsor someone new. Each month that your downline renews their membership you get $17.95 for each member who renews. You can really add up some monthly income in a short time. IF.. you can sponsor new people regularly.
I wasn't successful at sponsoring even one though I spent around 240 hours clicking the free text add exchanges that MIB told me to join and advertise on. (Google "text add exchange" for more info on this free advertising there are thousands of them). So it didn't work for me but it did for many and there is some money to be made you may want to check out MIB for yourself.
REAL MONEY
Now I've found PTC sites that pay you real money to view the adds of their clients. You don't have to build a downline to get paid you don't have to advertise or cajole
or talk to your friends and family you just join login click and get paid. But you can get a real downline and get paid for the efforts of others.
This site: http://www.neobux.com/?r=steelpaulo has a referral rental system which allows you to rent a downline for 30 days. No sponsoring, you can rent a 50 member downline for a month for only $12.50 and get paid for the work they do.
This site: http://www.no-minimum.com/pages/index.php?refid=steelpaulo allows you to buy the downline and they are yours forever very affordable, you can buy a seven member downline for under $10.
These sites are real and PTC sites are exploding in popularity, some are scams though, and you should look for sites that have a good reputation.
You can join this forum:http://www.earnmoneyspace.com/forum/index.php?referredby=6219 to see what others are saying about sites. Chose some sites you like and start making money. Remember to get your sites from this or another forum for saftey, remember that if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
