extra money/free car

[tristan22]

I've heard about people making money via the internet by taking surveys--yet i only come across websites where you have to pay money to join.

I've also heard about getting a free car, if you put advertising all over it. I've seen a couple in my city and it sounds tempting.

Does anyone have any experience with either one of the things i mentioned?

Take it from me.

You make money via taking survey. True.

You must take enough survey to make enough and some survey takes your personal info. The worst part is they'll sell it to another company which cover their loss (paying you).

So i take it, it's not worth it? I surf online alot so i was looking for ways to make extra money. Thanks for the heads up!

i joint an australian site like this many years ago. emailcash.com.au

you'd get points from many things. eg. filling out surveys. clicking links. etc.
there was an exchange rate X ammount of points = $1. $1 = x ammount of points.

You could use points in online auctions and the like. Or you could cash it out and they'd send you checks for $20 or above. I once got a $20 check in the mail, but the time spent earning that $20 didn't seem worthwhile.

HOWEVER: I joint this site just as it began existance. when the auctions were introduced there was a car for sale. the car was valued at $30,000. the winning bid was the equivelant of $4000 in points.

So be on the look out for sites similar which may still be getting invented? I don't know. It was probably 6 years ago that I was involved in this.

Which reminds me, i had X ammount of points in a long term deposit box earning me interest. I wonder what my old account name was? lol.

Generally speaking they aren't worth the time - you might pull in $1-5 per survey. I used to have several sites send me the offers - most will prescreen you (they'll say they have a new survey for X dollars, at which point you click it, tell them your age, sex, what you do for a living, then they'll tell you if you qualified for the survey or not...) You're better off just getting a job.

You've seen people either promoting their own business on their own car that they purchased themselves, or you've seen someone's personal car that they're being paid ~$100 a month to cover in advertisements. Sorry, but nobody is going to buy you a car if only you'll put their advertisements on it. If that were the case the city would be filled with cars, as every thug and poor person who couldn't afford their own vehicle filled out the applications. "You don't get something for nothing" comes to mind.
