I am sure that many of you have heard about sites that claim to pay you just for reading your e-mail. When I first heard of the concept, I was a bit skeptical. After looking at several sites thoroughly, I joined a few. Two of those that I have joined have been exactly what they have promised.
Inbox Dollars and Send Earnings are two sites that really do pay you for doing nothing more than reading the e-mails. That is not all that they have to offer, however. You can, if you choose, earn through trying different products and services through their site, playing games on-line, and completeing surveys when they offer them. The more you do with these sites, the more you can earn. It took me a while to do it, but I have reached payout through both sites and they did pay as promised. The reason it took me a while to reach that minimum payout level was simply because I did no more than read the e-mails sent to me each day.
One down-side to these sites is that they currently only pay through check in the mail. That aspect doesn't bother me, as long as I know that they are going to pay. That is the up-side in itself. These sites are honest paying sites that have a lot to offer.
The minimum payout for each of these sites is $30. The kicker is that when you reach that amount and request payment, they will deduct $3 for processing fees. It also takes about 6 weeks for you to receive your check.
You can earn quite quickly with these sites, if you participate in the offers listed. As I said, I prefer to merely read the e-mails sent to me and let my account accumulate slowly.
If you are interested in getting paid to read your e-mail, follow the links listed below to see for yourself how easy it is to earn with Send Earnings and Inbox Dollars.

No Longer A Cash Paying SIte
IMReportcard was once one of my favorite cash paying sites. It was one that paid as it promised for honest reviews of various sites on the net. Now, sadly, this site is no longer paying in cash. Instead, they have opted to pay in the form of rewards, such as on-line gift cards and the like.
For those who enjoy sites that pay in such ways, this is probably wonderful news. However, for those of us who do what we can to earn income on-line to help pay the household bills, this is very sad news.
This site is still a very legitimate site, and for those who are interested in earning rewards for their time, I would recommend checking it out. However, those that are seeking to earn an actual income, I would recommend looking elsewhere now.
I am still a memeber of this site, myself, and I do plan to remain a memeber there. If nothing else, I have learned many useful things from the site overall. The only difference for me will be that this site will no longer be at the top of my priority list when I am doing various things on-line to earn an income.
I have a feeling that I am not the only member of this site that feels this way, nor am I the only one who will now readjust my priorities. I understand that the administration of the site felt that this was a necessary step to keep those who were not being sincere away, however; in the process, I am sure that the site will lose many well-meaning members as well.

Writing To Earn
I have loved writing as long as I can remember. As a child, I dreamed of having my writing out there for the whole world to read. I cannot say that I do nearly as much of it as I would like to, but I can say that I have met my childhood goal of having my work published. The best thing about it is that not only has my work been published, I also earn a legitimate income by submitting original articles to a few different sites on-line.
One nice thing about writing on-line is having my work published almost immediately. I am not quite to the point of earning a living by writing articles, but I am on my way there. In all actuality, if I were to simply apply myself a bit more to my writing, I could very easily earn a very decent income.
Another nice thing about writing on-line is that I can write when I feel like it, and if I don't feel like writing, oh well. The earning potential is limitless; the only thing that can stop me is myself.
And yet, aside from being able to earn doing what I enjoy, I also have the ability to write about almost anything. Of course, every site has there own guidelines, and I do recommend reading them thoroughly; however, the three sites that I submit articles to have very clear-cut and easy to understand guidelines.
It did take me several hours of researching before I found the three sites that I submit my work to. There are many more out there, but, in my opinion, these three are the easiest to submit to, and they all pay as they promise.
Associated Content is one site that I submit my articles to. This site pays in two different ways. You can get paid upfront for your work, if it qualifies for upfront payment, and you can get paid per view. Upfront payments are paid within just a few days, normally, and performance payments are paid monthly provided you have reached the minimum payout amount. This site also has many ways to help you get your work out there. You can have updates posted to your Twitter account, you can submit your work to Digg, it can be posted on Facebook or MySpace... the posibilities are enormous.
Triond is another site that I submit my work to. This site only pays per view, and it pays monthly. The nice thing about this site is that you can integrate your adsense account to your Triond account and earn that way as well. The minimum payout level for this site is very low and not hard to reach. Essentially, what this site does is place your articles on sites that they will be most likely to gain the most exposure. They also offer many ways to help you get your work seen more. Just as with Assoviated Content, you can have your Twitter account updated whenever you publish another article and you have many other choices as well.
The third site that I submit my work to is Helium. Helium pays whenever you reach the minimum payout amount and request payment. Earnings are determined largely upon your own activity on the site. The keys to earning with this site are to submit articles often and be sure to rate and review other articles. Basically, the more you put into this site, the more you get out of it.
As I said before, if you are one that enjoys writing and would like to make an income doing so, it is very possible to do so on-line. As with most things in life, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.

Time Management Is Important
Due to the fact that I work both on-line and off-line, time management is extrememly important in my life. Without the ability to manage time effectively, I doubt that I would have the ability to earn anything at all on-line.
I have found that one of the best ways to manage my time is to schedule myself. For example, on Monday, I have two hours in the morning after taking the kids to school, before I have to go to work. During those two, quiet hours, I schedule myself to writing and researching. On Tuesday, I get home from work two to three hours before the kids get home from school, so, I dedicate that time to writing and research as well. My evenings are dedicated to ptc sites, forums and review sites. I visit each ptc site on a daily basis and rotate the other sites day by day.
I have found that by having a schedule of what I will do with my time each day, I am much more productive than if I do not schedule my time at all. By scheduling my time, thus, managing my time, I feel more dedicated towards earning on-line, and less overwhelmed than I would if I tried to cram everything into a few hours each night.
Of course, there are those times when my schedule must change at the last minute. Those days are a bit frustrating, but, thankfully, with earning on-line, I do have a little more flexibility than I do with my off-line job. When this does happen to me, I simply divide my scheduled on-line time between the scheduled tasks and the ones that I may have missed. This way, I still visit each site as planned.
I realize that we all have our own ways of earning on-line, as well as off-line. I think that the majority of us would agree that regardless of how often we choose to work at earning on-line, in order to succeed, we must manage our time effectively.
