Better Than Home Based Business Opportunities

That is exactly how a recent article on Yahoo News described the companies and websites that we have listed in our members area. Why? It's simple. Most business opportunities are high risk. You can invest hundreds, even thousands, of dollars and not see a single cent back. The companies and websites in our exclusive list have no start-up cost. There is absolutely no risk. And best of all, you are guaranteed to make money with all of them. Fill out a survey, get paid $75. Complete an offer, get paid $50. You have the ability to literally "write your own paychecks" and collect multiple streams of income. You can join over 11,000 of our members who are getting paid right from the comfort of their own home and choosing whatever hours they work. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, college student, or full-time employee just looking for some additional money, you can get started in just 15 minutes!

Here is a brief explanation of all of the types of opportunities you can enjoy when you become a member of PaidForFree.com (we have also included actual samples of these websites):
Get Paid To Give Your Opinion
Believe it or not, your opinion is worth a paycheck. And we know of over 300 websites that will pay you for your thoughts. Companies will pay you $5 to $150 just to fill out simple online surveys from the comfort of your own home. Get paid $50 to $250 for participating in focus group panels for 30 to 60 minutes. Get paid to take phone surveys and you can earn as much as $120 an hour. Participate in a focus group in your area and earn up to $600 for half a day. Have new products sent to you before they are released on the market. Test them out, share your opinion, and get paid.

Just in the United States, companies spend over 250 billion dollars a year trying to convince consumers to buy their products and services. The majority of that is spent on advertising, but a significant portion is spent on research. Understanding consumer behavior, like how people think and shop and why they buy certain products, ultimately helps companies improve their products and services and make them more money. Your participation in giving your opinions on different research surveys directly influences the way companies develop products, services and policies, to better meet the needs of consumers. Knowing that they won't get our help for free, companies are willing to pay people like you good money ( up to $150 an hour) for their opinions, because they know they will generate even more profits for themselves.

A lot of people are not aware that you can get paid for your opinions. And if they are aware, the hardest part is finding and sorting through all the research websites out there. We have done the work for you. And as a member, you will have our complete list of these websites at your fingertips.

Get Paid To Be Online
Since you are on our website right now, it is safe to assume that you are already familiar with the internet. And chances are, you already surf the web, browse different websites, and receive email. However, chances are, also, that you are doing these tasks everyday, and not seeing any money from them. We can help you change that. You can have access to over 100 websites that will pay you to do what you are doing this very moment, using the internet. How easy is it to open an email for 10 cents, or click on a link and go to a site for 75 cents. You can do this multiple times a day for each individual program!

Where do these websites get the money to pay you? Advertisers pay these websites to show their ads, list their website, and attract visitors. The advertiser understands that they will gain a lot of exposure, thus increasing their revenue. The websites, whom the advertisers are paying, understand that the more users they have, the more money they make. So they typicaly share 50% to 75% of this revenue with their users. So if the website receives $1.00 from the advertiser for sending a visitor (you) to them, the website shares 75 cents with the visitor. They share their money to attract more users and to increase their users' activity. You can imagine how much money you will make by just sitting at your computer, and clicking on links. Our members not only imagine it, they are doing it right now.

Get Paid To Complete Offers
Many of our listed websites will pay you for signing up for special online offers and promotions! These offers include free trials, free samples, free credit reports, and more! It's Simple. Just click on an offer, complete the offer and you'll earn money! You can earn as much money as you want. Just complete more offers. And some companies send you instant checks as soon as you complete an offer! You can also earn gift certificates, and free gifts, such as DVD players, phones,and movie tickets. And that's just to name a few. You can always find an offer that matches something you were already looking for. Want to order some new magazines? Just complete an offer that pays you for getting a free magazine subscription.

This is possible, once again, because companies are always searching for efficient ways of advertising their products and services. So they pay websites to introduce people to what they have to offer. And naturally, the websites share a portion of their income with the person who completes the offer. And many companies from Netflix to AT&T are using these websites to get people to experience their products. All of our members are completing these offers, and they are collecting great rewards from them.

Get Paid To Drive
Advertisers are continually searching for novel ideas that will help their brands stand out above the competition. Mobile advertising is among the newest and fastest growing forms of promotion. Automobiles have been proven to have great visual exposure and marketing presence. Companies are eager to take advantage of that. They are willing to pay to have their advertisements placed on a car. There are many different ad sizes. Some cover 1/4 or 1/2 of your car. Others cover 3/4 or your entire car. The larger the ad, the more you will be paid. Some automakers, like Acura, have even paid people just to drive one of their cars, ad-free. They not only pay you for regular use of a vehicle, but they will also pay you an hourly rate to drive specific routes up to 6 days per week.

Advertisers will select drivers based on the criteria that you provide, like age and geographic location. They are looking for all kinds of drivers, and are willing to pay you to drive. You can get paid up to $500.00 a month to drive a free new car, or up to $3200 a month to drive your own car. Many websites in our directory want to pay you to drive right now.

Get Paid To Shop and Eat
Companies are willing to pay you to visit their place of business, and act like a normal patron. This has been called "mystery shopping", but it is no longer a mystery to our members. These companies will pay you just to spend a couple of hours browsing, because they need an honest opinion from an everyday consumer on how well their facilities are doing. They need to know if the stores and surrounding areas are clean, if the staff is helpful, and if there is anything they can improve on. You help them with your honest opinion, and they pay you for your time.

Several companies will send assignments right to your email inbox. You can read over the assignment and decide whether you would like to accept it or not. Just email or call them back letting them know. It's that easy! Sometimes you don't even have to leave your house to to do an assignment. Many online companies will pay you to shop their online stores and evaluate the service you receive. And your online order is free!

Stores aren't the only ones willing to pay you for your time. We have also seen assignments from amusement parks, airlines, and movie theaters, just to name a few. And not only do they pay you, but they let you use their services for free. Several large restaurants and fast food chains pay you and let you eat as much as you want for free. Amazon.com, Blockbuster, Walmart, Target, AMC Movie Cinemas are just a few of the companies that hire "mystery shoppers". We have a list of over 180 websites that are ready to match you up with paid shopping opportunities in your area.

Many websites pay you to refer your friends, so you get a portion of what they earn. So possibly, you can continue to get paid without doing any work. Not to mention, several websites pay you just to sign up! So you are guaranteed to make money regardless of the amount of time you devote. Some people do it part-time for the extra $450-$700/month to pay their car payment, mortgage, or insurance. Others work full-time and make enough to quit their jobs. It's your choice. We still use these websites to receive monthly paychecks and loads of free stuff. And we have over 600 websites, so if you only earned $2 a month from each program, you would still have an extra $1200 in your pocket at the end of the month!

You have the opportunity to make a lot of money using the websites in our directory, but let us make one thing clear. You will not become a millionaire using our site. We do not list any "get rich quick schemes". We only list companies that have a proven track record of providing recurring income for our members. Several of our members earn hundreds, and even thousands, of dollars per month using the sites we have listed. As with anything, work is required. Those of our members who are making the most money have spent a lot of time and effort joining as many websites as possible, and performing the tasks required to get paid. It will require time and effort and on your part as well, but the rewards are well worth it.

Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, college student, or full-time employee just looking for some additional money, you can get started in just 5 minutes!

"Worth every red cent. As soon as I signed up with you guys, I started registering at some of the sites you have listed. I made back the membership price in less than 2 days. The day after I signed up, I received invitations for two surveys, one for $10 and one for $17. And those were just 10 minute surveys that asked me for basic information about myself. I got invited to an online group chat to discuss my tv-watching patterns. I got paid $75 for the two hours I spent on that. I've already figured out that it was a small investment, and now I will be making good money. I just wish I found you guys a lot earlier. I'll keep you updated on how I'm doing. Right now, I have to say that I am very pleased."

"I lost my job maybe 3 months ago, and I'm collecting unemployment. But that just isn't enough to pay my bills every month. I was very skeptical about joining, primarily because I've heard of some scams out there. But all of that went out the door when I started to earn cash from filling out offers, reading my emails, and going to different websites. Even though I don't have a lot of time during the day, I signed up for as many things as I could, albeit at a slow pace. Before you know it, I had made $625. And that was just in my first month. And I can't even begin to tell you how much free stuff I have! I am really having fun now. And since I've referred people to a lot of the sites, they make me money too. And the people that they refer make me money too. It is amazing. The layout of your Members Directory is nice and clean and easy to navigate too. Paid For Free has to be the best money making site on the internet. And I have joined a lot of them. "

"I work a full time job. It's a great job, but I always wished I could have a little extra money to spoil myself a bit. Maybe take nicer vacations, buy a new TV, or even get a new car. But I just didn't have the extra money. Now I come home from work, eat dinner and watch TV . Then I get on the internet for an hour or two and work and work a little bit. I see what surveys are online, then fill them out. I use the search engines that pay me to use them, and click around bit. I check my email and get paid for every email I open! It is what I did everyday already, but now I'm getting paid for it. I got points and turned them in for a brand new 36inch Sony TV, plus a new mountain bike. I am currently working toward a new laptop. Sometimes I need the extra cash so I ask them to just send a check by mail. The best part is I have that choice. I do all the same things I did before, just now I get paid for them!!"

"I am currently a stay at home mom, and my husband used to make all of the money. I started to do some home businesses just to help out with some of the bills. I was looking for something that would make me money, but still allow me enough time for my regular daily schedule. I hadn't found anything I like. They all ended up costing me more money than I made from them. Then another parent at my son's school told me about PaidForFree.com. I joined and signed up for as many websites as I could handle. I started to see check, after check, after check. All I do now is wake up, get my kids ready for school, come home, hop on the computer, make money, go pick my children up, fix dinner, put them to bed, hop on the computer, and make more money. I know, what a terrible life! (sarcasm). I told my husband about it, and now we both work from home. Combined, we make more than three times what he was making at his job. And thank God, because we have a new baby on the way! Can the baby join too?(I'm joking)."

"Remember I wrote and asked you about more details on the free car companies. Well guess what, I am driving that new car right now! All I have to pay for is insurance, but that is less than the insurance from the old clunker I used to drive. I drive a brand new Ford Explorer that has a nice little ad running across the top and the sides. My friends and my co-workers just love it. I just wanted to thank Tim for explaining things in more detail for me. He is a sweetheart. I've already told all of my friends about your website and they have all probably joined already."
-Amber, TN

"Me and my girlfriend were laughing because the amount of money I made last month was more than my regular paycheck. And I have all of this free stuff laying around my townhouse, still in the boxes. Playstation 2, DVD player, treadmill, DVDs, CDs, MP3 player, computer speakers, Tivo box, and a whole lot more stuff I can't think of right now. It looks like I just moved in. I've just been too lazy to open all of it. And to think I'm getting paid just to be lazy."
-George, VA

"I used to always see ads in the newspaper about "mystery shoppers". But when I responded to the ads, all they did was ask me for $200 to be placed in some "pool" of potential shoppers. I came across a couple of sites on the web that said they had a list of mystery shopping opportunities. I joined about 7 of them just to try them out. I have to say that your's is definitely the best, by far. You have companies that actually call you and give you shopping jobs. I wouldn't say that I necessarily need the money, but I love to shop. So why not get paid for it?
