Hi. Hopefully a lot of you are reading this while thinking about how cool it is that AllAdvantage 
just paid for a bunch of your Christmas presents. Either way, Happy Holidays.

Apparently all the new companies wanted to come out before the end of the year because there has 
been a lot of them since the last newslist. A lot of them are just generic take offs but there are 
a few that have come up with unique spins. More info below and on the site.

-Pay By Hour Services-
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/PayByHour.php

Lots of checks this month. So far, AllAdvantage, GoToWorld, UtopiAD, Spedia, mValue and ePIPO have 
sent checks to members. There are probably a couple of others we haven't heard about yet as well. 
Getting paid to be online is undeniably a reality.

News
-PaysU is currently running some cash paying contests to keep members busy until the software is 
ready. 
-The CashSurfers software is out.
-CPay went under.
-The mValue contest is still going, definitely worth being a part of.
-ePilot has started paying.
-BlueTree lost all of their account info but has things working smoothly now.
-ValuePay "Piggy" is out.
-More news on the WhatsNew? page.

Here are the "by hour" services that have come out since the last NewsList:

BePaid            (December 2nd) - $20 an hour with this company.

MediaBarre     (December 4th) - New French company.

Prosite             (December 4th) - New German company.

You can see our review about any of the services mentioned here at the following urls:

-Pay By Email Services-
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/PayToRead.php

These services are still going strong. AllCommunity, in particular, has sent out quite a few checks 
for $100 or more.

News
-TotalEmail has added some online surveys that you can get paid to fill out.

New since the last newslist:

TheMail        (December 10th) - Pays you to use their free email accounts.
PurchaseAlert  (December 16th) - Get paid for lots of stuff.

-Other Services-

http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/WebmasterPrograms.php

More new services in this section than anywhere else and some of them might offer more earning 
potential than the "pay to surf" companies. Especially if you've had a hard time referring people 
so far. Make sure to check out BigReferral and Ignifuge.

New services since the last issue:

BigReferral     (November 29th) - Pays a dollar for referrals on three levels.
PayDate          (December 8th)  - Get paid to date?
HotRate          (December 9th)  - Pays people to search.
RocketLinks    (December 11th) - Also pays people to search.
GoThruUs       (December 16th) - Pays you to do a number of different things.

REFERRAL TIPS

You'll notice that these are pretty much the same tips as the last issue, they're for new members.

How do you get more referrals for the services that offer referral programs, without spamming? 
Well, first of all, you could try spamming. You probably won't get caught. We really don't 
recommend it because it is one of the more annoying things on the internet and the response rate 
is somewhere under 1%. It's just not worth it.

1) The first thing you should do is email everyone you know that won't get upset by the offer. 
Seems pretty straight forward but we thought we'd mention it because a lot of people haven't 
done it yet. The other reason we mention it is because you can now tell them that, no, these 
services are definitely not a scam. Now we've got proof that a few of the "By Hour" and a lot of 
the "By Email" services have actually started to pay people. Also, don't forget ICQ/AOL Instant 
Messenger/Yahoo Messenger/ MSN Messenger. Might we suggest ICQs random chat feature? 

2) Whatever you do, do it soon. There are literally 10s of 1000s of people a day signing up for 
these kinds of services. 

3) Make a webpage. It's amazingly easy and it's a good place to send people who want to sign up. 
We'll be happy to help you with your page. You can find info about our free webpage offer for some 
of the "By Hour" services on our site. 

4) Promote your webpage. Submit it to the 15-20 major search engines, there are lots of free pages 
online that you can use to do this automatically. Put your url in your email signature. Tell 
everyone. Join a service like the Click-Thru Network and possibly a link exchange service of some 
kind. You can see our review of the Click-Thru Network and find a link to their site on our 
associate programs page:  http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/WebmasterPrograms.php 

5) If you can do it inexpensively, get the word out offline (fliers, classifieds, etc....) The 
people that don't know about these services yet are people that have computers but don't spend a 
lot of time surfing the internet. We have a feeling they would if they knew they were getting paid 
for it. 

6) If you're thinking of putting some money into this, we suggest advertising through an opt-in 
mailing list. If you find the right list the response rate is very good, it should be fairly 
inexpensive and you won't piss anyone off. Also, GoTo.com is an interesting new way to pay for 
visitors. They allow you to bid on placement in their popular search engine.

7) Don't take anything too seriously. We think this is the number one problem in America today. We 
have done extensive studies which prove that taking things too seriously causes just about 
everything bad, including cancer. We also have evidence that suggests that it's responsible for 
the common cold and the trots.
