Online Income Opportunities----How to distinguish scam from real!

So far, I have not encountered a site where I was really paid. Whether it is a paid survey, or a paid to read or a paid to click, there has been none. I keep encountering only testimonials of all sorts of people claiming their online earnings. But it made me sometimes think of the obvious---if online earnings are really that easy to earn as most testimonials mentioned, everyone would have earned a penny or so in the internet. Yet, you haven't really heard anyone getting rich because of this PTR, PTC or survey sites. So before you sign up on these type of sites remember to check out the following things:
1. Does it have a terms of service or anythings that is legally binding like a contract? If the site is serious in paying you, they definitely need to create a contract between you and them. Read up their TOS. Sometimes, you may be surprised of their disclaimer.
2. Check who are the owners. There are PTR, PTC or paid survey sites which has a link to their company. Do check it out. Sometimes, it just contains pictures but not the description of the company. It doesn't even says the history.
3. If the promised amount is way too big like it reaches thousands of dollars, you've gotta have second thoughts already. First of all, how could that company get income if they pay you that big in the first place. If exposure to that site gets the company incentive for it, then the incentive that they would pay you surely does not amount that high. Common sense does play a big part.

I've been here a long time. I have more than a few friends here too. We have all been paid. I have dropped working on many sites, because they didn't pay. I also avoid sites that ask for a fee upfront.

hi there. thanks so much for the tip. I definitely would stay here in MyLot. Even though I'm just new, I am starting to enjoy it already as I can see people replying to my discussion started. I really appreciate it.

First of all, you are here now, and I can tell you that mylot really does pay. I've only reached payout once, but I am sitting on waiting for November's payment as well. I missed getting one this month by just a few cents. So, when you hear people say that are getting paid on mylot, they aren't trying to scam you.
There is only one other place that I have gotten a payout from, actually I've gotten two now and that is quickrewards.
One of the things that I've learned from other people is that you need to try to cash in your payout when you are at the minimum amount because you never know when a legitimate site will turn into a scam.
