MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITIES

A. GET PAID TO (GPT) PROGRAMS

A GPT Program is a website that pays its users to do certain tasks online. These websites are almost always completely ad supported, with the members generating the income for the administrator of the website.

TYPES:
1) PAID TO READ (PTR)
Also known as Paid Emails, these are probably the most common kind of GPT website. In a PTR website, users are paid a small amount of money (usually about 1 cent) for reading an advertiser's email. Since advertising is so cheap on these websites, there is seldom a shortage of emails for members. (Examples of PTR websites are Donkey Mails, Jills Click Corner and No Minimum)
2) PAID TO CLICK (PTC)
Paid To Click (PTC) websites are similar to Paid To Read websites, the difference being that a PTC website displays its advertisements on the website. These programs do not require the user to receive emails. Most Paid to read websites are also Paid to click websites. However, there are some PTC-only websites. (Examples of PTC websites are ClixMania, ClixSense, ClicknCash)
3) PAID TO SIGNUP (PTS)
Also known as PTS or Paid offers, these websites pay members to sign up for sponsor offers. These offers usually cost money, and so these programs are not free. The problem with these websites is that there is often an overlap of offers between websites. (Examples of PTS websites are GpTreasure, Treasure Trooper, Cash Crate)
4) PAID TO PROMOTE (PTP)
These websites pay users to promote a link. They usually pay a small amount for every user who views the page.

B. MULTI LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) / MATRIX SYSTEM

Multi-level marketing (MLM) businesses function by enrolling unsalaried sales people (also called by MLM companies as Distributors, Independent Business Owners, Franchise Owners, Sales Consultants, Consultants, Independant Agents, etc...) to sell products and meanwhile earn additional sales commissions based on the sales of people enrolled into their downline, an organization of people that includes direct recruits, recruits' recruits and so on. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager. There can be multiple levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales.

COMPENSATION PLANS:
1) UNILEVEL
Also known as Stairstep Breakaway Plans, are the oldest and most popular plan of MLM. They feature two types of distributors -- managers and non-managers -- with 3 types of pay namely baseshop overrides, generational overrides and executive bonuses.
2) MATRIX
This plan limits the width of each level in a distributor's group, forcing strong distributors to pile ("spillover") their recruits over people who did not sponsor them.
3) BINARY
Binary plan limits the width of each level to two legs. Commissions are based on "cycles," where a distributor is paid a fixed amount whenever both legs achieve a certain number of sales units each. Commissions are paid incrementally when the sales volume in each leg matches.
4) ELEVATOR
Sometimes called matrix schemes, this features a board or a list on which each distributor pays in one or more product units to participate. When a certain number of units have been paid in, the structure splits and the earlier participant receives consideration.

C. HIGH YIELD INVESTMENT (HYIP) PROGRAMS

High Yield Investment (HYIP) Program is a type of pyramid scheme. They usually accept deposits as low as $1 while promising astoundingly high returns so careful dealings with these types of programs should be observed at all times. HYIPs, often, will claim that they make money through non-existent yet plausible means, playing to people's gullibility or ignorance on the subject. In the case of the prime bank scam, many people were led to believe that they were buying banknotes in a clandestine organization called prime bank. Other HYIP scams claim that they use special software or algorithms that have the ability to forecast markets in order to make money. They are an appeal to emotions of investors who are looking for quick cash. Unfortunately, those who invest become part of the scam. They are encouraged to promote it in order to receive payment on their investment. In this aspect, it mirrors a pyramid scheme in that users must recruit others in order to profit

TRAFFIC EXCHANGES

Now that you have joined some of the programs online, it is now time to promote these sites over the internet in order to build your own downline. We will use traffic exchanges for this. A traffic exchange is a website which provides a service for webmasters in exchange for traffic. It is similar to the autosurf concept with the exception that traffic exchanges usually use a manual rotation.

A traffic exchange website receives website submissions from webmasters that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the website then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved. Exchanges enforce a certain credit ratio, which illustrates the amount of websites the surfer must view in order to receive one hit through the program for their promoted website. Many sites offer the ability to upgrade one's membership level for a more equal credit ratio.

As the viewers are all website owners or affiliates, it is possible that some might find certain member sites interesting and thus make note of them on their own sites, sending more traffic their way. Most traffic programs also impose a time limit when members are browsing, ranging from 10 seconds to 60 seconds. Majority of exchange programs are free to join, although many of them offer special features to paid members and offer credits for purchase. Almost all traffic exchange programs encourage users to build their own referral networks, which in turn increases the referrers' amount of credits.

PAYMENT PROCESSORS / E-CURRENCIES

Almost all of the programs in the net require an online processor or an e-currency account during the registration process. Electronic money (also known as electronic cash, electronic currency, digital money, digital cash or digital currency) refers to money or scripelectronically. Typically, this involves the use of computer networks, the internet and digital stored value systems. Technically, electronic or digital money is a representation, or a system of debits and credits, used (but not limited to this) to exchange value, within another system, or itself as a stand alone system, online or offline. Also, sometimes the term electronic money is used to refer to the provider itself. A private currency may use gold to provide extra security, such as digital gold currency. An e-currency system may be fully backed by gold (like e-Gold and c-Gold), non-gold backed (like eeeCurrency), or both gold and non-gold backed (like e-Bullion and Liberty Reserve). Many systems will sell their electronic currency directly to the end user, such as Paypal and Webmoney while others, like e-gold, sell only through third party digital currency exchangers. Here are some of the well-known and free to join e-currency systems nowadays:


E-GOLD is by far the most popular among the e-currencies. It is a digital gold currency operated by Gold & Silver Reserve Inc. under E-gold Ltd., and is a system which allows the instant transfer of gold ownership between users. E-gold Ltd. is incorporated in Nevis, Lesser Antilles. It was founded in 1996 by Dr. Douglas Jackson and Barry Downey. Transactions using e-gold have grown dramatically since 2005. The total amount of gold bars (over three tonnes) in the e-gold system is approaching the size of the national reserves of smaller countries. E-gold now generates a substantial income from spend and storage fees. There is a charge of a few cents to make each e-gold "spend" and e-gold itself now earns well over a million USD per year from fees.

PAYPAL is an e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the internet. It serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as chequesmoney orders.
