A lot of Filipinos, especially those who are frequent Internet users, are curious if earning online is really possible. The answer is yes, but there has to be an investment of time, effort and money. You should read more on this article.
If you really want to spend some time trying to earn from online sites, regardless of whether you are in the Philippines or not, remember these tips.
- Be really careful when giving out your credit card information. Giving it to just one wrong site will cause you big problems on your bank account.
- Make it a habit of checking review from third-party sites before joining. Following others' advice will help you join much less scam sites (but there are still plenty of them).
- Never pay for the promise of getting paid, not even how convincing the promise is. The reason of joining those sites is to get money, not to risk money.
- Do not give more time than what is comfortable for you. If you happen to receive a few bucks from those sites, they will never be enough to pay for your health bills in case you get sick from working for them overtime.
It is not recommended to join in any of the programs on the list below, either because 99% of them are scams or they are a very big waste of time.
- Survey sites - Joining them will allow them to get your e-mail address and other personal information. But you should know that they will very likely never provide you with surveys which you can finish and earn money from. Besides, if you see a survey site giving tons of surveys with pay, then they are not legitimate at all.
- Get-paid-to sites - Everyone who wanted to earn online has seen a lot of them on the Internet. Most of them will not pay you, and even if they will, you will receive really much less than the time (and money) that you gave for them. GPT sites typically offer paid-to-click, paid-to-view, paid-to-share, paid-to-refer, paid-to-signup, paid-to-answer surveys, paid-to-review, paid-to-advertise, all of which will take much of your time, if not money.
- Stock trading sites - These sites will require you to provide your credit card and contact details, and at least when they do not ask you to deposit first to make any earnings. There are some that are legitimate, but joining them puts you at risk of losing your money unless you are both an expert and lucky.
- Casinos - Gambling will simply empty your pockets. No matter what, if you play long enough, there is a theoretical 100% chance that you will lose every penny you have. Besides, gambling should never be a source of income.
