Dear Dollar Diary,
Here are some great Social Networking sites that pay, and they are free to join:
One of the first sites I joined as an Internet Marketer is My Lot.
My Lot is a discussion board space that pays you to post and respond to online discussions. You aren't going to get rich doing this, but many people do this for free in chat forums anyway, so you might as well make a little coin! (Richie's How to Earn A Lot In My Lot blog talks more in detail). You can engage in ongoing conversations ranging from relationships to popular music, and of course, making money online! In my opinion, it's a great way to meet other people who have the same interests as you, and can have a chance to drive traffic to your website or blog by adding a link in your profile. Just be careful not to spam the forums and to follow the rules of posting and always be respectful. More people will be interested in checking out your profile and following your links if you are trustworthy and have relevant things to say.
I'm sure most of you have not only heard of My Space and YouTube, but have an account and update your space, adding video, music and networking all the time. I have a niece who was updating her Facebook on her honeymoon in Hawaii. We are addicted, folks, and why not? We are all getting our 15 minutes of fame, thank you Andy Warhol!
Yuwie is like Facebook, My Space, and YouTube all rolled into one, but with one major difference: They pay you! Yes, really, they pay you for doing what you already do for free.
Basically, they just take a chunk of advertising income and use it to compensate it's users for any activity. Anytime you add a friend, view profiles, or when someone watches your video or views your profile, you can almost hear the chi-ching! Again, it's not going to buy you that Farrari, but it can add up, especially if you have a lot of referrals and friends. Watch this video, this guy explains it a lot better than me.
