Educate Yourself on How to Make Money Online

Most of you probably always wonder to yourselves how some people make thousands and thousands of dollars on referral sites like Cashcrate. You think, “How in the heck is that possible when some the highest paying offer is only about $10? I’m not going to sit home all day and fill out $.50 offers that take 20 minutes each. Talk about a waste of time!” Trust me, you’re out of your mind if you think that you can sit around and fill out those little offers all day.

However, you have to look at the entire website from a different angle. Why waste your time filling out little surveys when you can refer other members, have them fill out the surveys and then get paid a commission for their work? Its simple, have your money and time work for you, not the other way around. I did the dirty work when I first joined the PTC websites. I was uneducated and all I cared about was making money even if that meant putting in hours of work. As I looked around the websites I was shocked when I saw that some of the elder members were receiving checks for $2000 a month. I thought to myself, no way someone can be making that much filling out surveys. I did some research, broadened my intelligence on the website and learned that earning referrals was where the real money was at.

So I did what any newbie would do, I made a blogger, posted Cashcrates FAQ and thought the money would be rolling in. However, when it wasn’t, I was angry and just wanted to quit the whole operation. I knew that I was not going to be making any money if I continued doing what I was doing, because every other idiot was doing the same thing that I was. I had no proof of payments, no information on how to actually make money, and worst of all no originality.

When I finally realized how stupid I was for thinking that the spam of a blog was going to actually make money I went to google and did some research. I found out that the formula to getting referrals is quite simple, BUT takes a good amount of work.

Make a website (or a blog/webs account), post unique/well-written content that readers will want to read, and spend your time increasing your PR by getting backlinks. I have been told in the past that the key to having a lot of traffic on your website is to spend 20% of your time writing content and 80% getting backlinks.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about then go back to my first posts and start reading. I promise you that you will learn a lot about this business and your time spent will be worth it in the long run. It really isn’t that hard to make money online as a teen, just be smart, don’t give up and don’t get rattled if you had a bad month. Keep at it and you will be making money in no time.
