I have recently tried to make money online. I wanted to earn money fast. I was attracted by the numerous ads and videos on the net claiming guaranteed money making methods. I joined a few programs like Commission Breakthrough, Step by step cash system, Mobile money machine system, DotComSecrets etc. Most of them I had to cancel as the programs were too technical or the software they sent was non-functional. I had to cancel most of them and lost hundreds of dollars in the bargain. Now I am a bit skeptical of these get fast rich schemes. Can you please share your experiences about such schemes. It would help if you can name the schemes which you tried and found either to be good or bad. It would help everybody and spread the word regarding the good schemes and the schemes which are scams and should be avoided.Please give only the schemes which you have tried out yourself.

I was a victim also of these registration fees... the truth is, there are a lot of ways to earn online... for FREE...you just have to research first, search for reviews before paying anything... if you want to earn a decent amount of money try filling up surveys at surveyhead or surveysavvy.. and or try triond.com or academia-research.com for you to write original blogs and write -ups and they will pay you for it.. =)

I have tried and made money on Mylot, Mypage5, clixsense and Helium. There are some others like Hits4pay and neobux which are valid too and genuine. You can try these sites.

One of the things that I have learned about earning money online is that if certain things sound too good to be true, then chances are they are too good to be true. If something is telling you that you don't have to put any work into a scheme, then you should take the time to wonder what it is that you're going to be gaining from it. How would they make their money without any work or investment? You should also make sure that you have seen a good selection of payment proofs before you choose to join the scheme, as you would want to make sure that you're not going to get scammed.

Even the payment proofs can be manipulated and duplicated.

There are many ways and many sites to make money. There are even more scams. Do research online if your not sure about any sites you find. There sites that do pay that are legitimate for you putting in the time energy and effort. There are websites that have been around for a while that are looking for people to work for them. Most people will say anything is a scam because they themselves are either not sure or have little faith. I go by what I find out online. Trust me, if you find negative comments on any website then, stay away from it. If you find only good comments on any website then you have to decide for your self. I have found several scams online. I learned that hard way. Before you invest in anything, check it out. You never have to pay for any website just to work for them. Then again, there are free sites that claim to make you money that have never paid and never will pay anyone any money.

I can't share my experience of such schemes because I've never tried them, and I don't plan to. My initial experience of earning online was the free way. I wrote and got paid. It's how I've mostly earned online over the years: blogging, article writing, blog commenting, forum posting.

There is not much more to say as our fellow MyLotters have already posted here. Researching is a big must before going for any online business. Not will it make you safe your money but also your time :) If there is a requirement to invest make sure you do not overcommit; invest what you can afford to lose. Try always to get your investment back as soon as possible and keep reinvesting your earnings. Best of luck :)
