There are many sites wanting to pay you money to read e-mails, Get Paid to Click and lots of other ways as well. However not all of them will pay out. Here are some things to check before joining any of them
1/ If it looks to0 good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.
2/ Don't send them any money to join, these should pay you, not you pay them.
3/ Check the minimum amount for payout, and compare that to the payment for each e-mail or click. 0.1c or $0.001 means that 10 e-mails or clicks are needed before earning 1c. If minimum payment is $10 then you need to click 10,000 before reaching payout.
4/ Check the payment per click/e-mail against what they charge for sending them out, there should be some relation between the two, however remember that these sites can also earn from displayed adverts as well.
5/ Some sites promise $50 or $100 per click/e-mail, with minimum payout $25,000 (or somewhere around this). Do you really think anyone will get paid out?
6/ Be wary if site keeps changing its terms or pay out rates.
7/ Remember that until they pay into your own account (eg Paypal, e-gold etc), then you haven't been paid.
8/ Don't pay any money for upgrades until you have had a chance to evaluate the site AND received at least one payment.
9/ Be wary if they only pay into an obscure payment company, some of them set up there own, and if they crash, the payment company usually crashes as well.
10/ Don't pay your own cash to them,(especially by cheque or credit card). if you must upgrade or buy advertisements, use money earned from them (or at least earned from the internet).

Judging by the number of topics which I have read today regarding non payment from sites, this is very good advice Eskimo. I hope a lot of the people who are being scammed will read this post and learn not to part with their money so readily. I almost fell for one of these scams some months back but thankfully the site went bust before I parted with my money. Your know the old saying: "A fool and his money are easily parted".

These are some excellent Tips here, and ones we can all learn from. I think a lot of these need to keep on getting posted more and more to keep people from sending money to things they will Never earn $$ from. Personally I think this is a wonderful post for sure. Thanks for the Tips.
