With so many companies operating on the Internet, it can be hard for each individual company to stand out. One very cheap and effective way is to get other people to do their marketing for them and for this they are more than willing to pay you.

Some companies pay you simply to accept advertising on your screen while on-line, with the potential to earn significant sums by getting other people to sign up under you while others pay you to read e-mails, or complete surveys.

Other companies encourage you to spread the word by paying you commission on sales. Until recently this almost exclusively related to US companies with payment in
dollars but there are now several companies paying out on UK sites in sterling.

Alternatively, you can earn from simply referring people to sign up for various schemes. You either get an initial payment or qualifying points, or you receive credit when the first order is placed.
