    Hi has anyone seen these 'pay to click' websites? I clicked into one from a paid survey site out of curiosity to see what it was about. You get paid 'up to' $0.01 per click when you actually only get something like $0.00012 in reality, you'd be a long time trying to earn money of this, opinions, comments please :D

    Yeah they're not that great in Ireland. Much better in the US though.

    You could refer people in other countries and make a fraction of their better earnings.

    Are there any schemes like that out there, where you play & get paid & not the gambling type?

    I've had very bad experiences with them.

    Most pay very, very little and won't pay out until you reach some amount - like $50 USD or whatever. Sometimes you find that they don't have anything left for you to click on either - so you might have invested 10 hours this month and now there is nothing more you can do.

    You'd be better off going down to the train station and asking for change. Honestly, you'd probably make 10-50x asking people for change than you would using these sites.

    Amazon have a system called mechanical turk where you can do simple work to make some money, things like categorising websites, youtube videos etc. It's all automated so you get a few cents for every bit of work you do and submit. The money isn't great, might take you 5 minutes to earn 10 cent depending on how quick you are at it but maybe if you were really desperate to get some cash in you could try it.

    And it's amazon so its legitimate, wouldn't bother with any of those other types of sites, usually just some sort of scam to get free labour.

    I'll give that a look & see what they have to say?
