You're frustrated at your job. Tired of being bossed around and controlled by someone else that thinks they are God. They tell you when to be to work and what you are suppose to do while you are there. You have had it! Then all of a sudden the clouds clear from the sky, the sun shines like never before and you hear the birds singing your praises. You have a moment of clarity, you are going to be your own boss. Work for yourself from home in you pajamas! Great but what business are you going to do? Then you get the email that puts it all together for you. “Make Money Online Surfing!” Divine intervention some would say, but how does it work and do you really get paid?

You decide to find out. So you take the day off from the job that you don't like but does give you a paycheck and decide to check it out. You roll out of bed, get some coffee and sit down in front of the computer to make the money that you gave up for taking the day off. Little did you realize the options that you have when it comes to making money from surfing the net. There are hundreds of different companies out there that say they will pay you to surf the net and read your email. To find these companies do a search using the keywords, "make money online surfing."

My first piece of advice, do not pay to join any of these. It doesn't cost you any extra to surf the net without them and they shouldn't charge you to sign up with them in order to pay you to surf the net through them. That should be a clear warning that they want your money because that is how they make their money.

There are sites like Marketpond, Traffic Swarm, HitMaster, Surfing 2 Cash, Dot – Ad and the list goes on and on and on. There are also places like Agloco, which is a company that asks you to install a bar on your browser and it clocks the time you spend on the net and you will get paid for it. This one I actually signed up for, it doesn't cost anything but it is not available yet, they are still in the testing phases. There is a max amount of hours per month that they will pay and you can get paid from people that you refer and join. I checked them out with the Better Business Bureau and they checked out.

A lot of people will tell you that they have made “big” money surfing the net but I have yet to see it pay off. In most cases, the amount of money that they say they will pay you pales in comparison to the amount of time you have to spend on the net. I suggest you figure out what your time is worth. You just wasted an entire day sitting on your butt in front of the computer with no other human contact and didn't make a dime! Don't waste time thinking that you are going to make money online surfing and live the life of luxury.

This is where the clouds fill the sky and rain falls down on those big dreams of big money for playing on the net and the birds aren't really singing your praises, they are trying to wake you up!
