It has been a fairly slow month in the get paid world. We think this is a direct result of this 
amazing Spring that is currently making the world a greener place. No one staying in front of 
their computer long enough to launch anything.

It has recently come to our attention, however, that this doesn't apply if you happen to be 
living somewhere like Australia where it's currently winter and you're freezing your ass off. To 
all of you cold southern hemispherians we can only offer you a deep and heartfelt... Hah!

Alrighty then...

We have a new chat room at CashGlow. See the Get Paid Chat section below for more info.

We have also a new section for programs that pay people to write articles and/or reviews. You can 
see it here:
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/PayToWrite.php

Remember CyberRebates from the last issue? They are now bankrupt. Don't worry though, they will 
be sending rebates to all members who are due.

That's about it for general news...

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

Yet again, not much happening in the world of paid surfing. Things are still looking good at 
about five of the top companies. The rest are in various stages of death and rebirth. We 
recommend giving them some privacy until they have found their place in the world. ;-)

There is one bit of interesting news... CashSpace is now giving members referrals in their new 
paid email program instead of cash for surfing with the software. 

The results have been varied... Some people are getting lots of new referrals and others are 
getting almost none. It's a great idea but it's value is going to slowly decrease as more people 
start using it.

Other news since last issue: (oldest first)
~SurfIsMoney (French paid surfing) is now international.
~Webbullion sent first quarter payments.
~SurfUnit has entered the nether realm (they died).
~YellowBubble has returned from said realm of netheryness.
~GuideSpace had finished beta testing and plans to start paying soon.
~New company: SwedishAdvertisingAgency. Similar to BePaid.
~DollarWeb is back with a newly redesigned program. See news page.

[Paid Reading/Writing Services]
http://www.getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/PayToRead.php

Paid reading and writing is, easily, the fastest growing way to make money online right now. A 
lot of people are getting tired of paid surfing and the companies covered in this section are 
next on the list.

There was one major new launch this month... SexySend. They pay members to receive adult email. 
Or, to put it another way IT'S PORN!

This one is probably going to be pretty big. All that nudity will almost definitely be causing 
members to rise.

We know a lot of you think that pornography is a bad thing. We're down with that. We (The Get 
Paid to be Online Page) are completely neutral about such things. We are, in fact, currently 
browsing the SexySend website and it does nothing for us. Nothing at a...Oh My God! Did You See 
Tho.. ahem. Nothing at all. 

Even if you're not a fan of naked people, this is a company you should consider joining simply to 
refer people that do. There is a lot of money in the online adult entertainment industry and opt 
in email is a very popular form of advertising.

[Referral Services]
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/ReferralServices.php

SmartReply was offline for a while because of storage problems. Everything is fixed and things 
are back to normal. This makes us happy because, as far as referrals go, SmartReply is probably 
the best opportunity on the net right now.

Other news since last issue:
~CStakes made their first round of payments. Don't miss em.
~VivaRebates is still going strong. They've been a disappointment for some members but there are 
some changes on the way. We'll see what happens.

deep. Still too new to be sure but looks good.

ARTICLE

-Sex and the Gods of Internet Marketing-

Whenever I mention my occupation to a non-wired 
person, it seems to generate the same response:

"Isn't there an awful lot of porn on the net?"

The question floats toward me like a smoke ring 
and forms a halo around my face, framing me as a 
pornographer, nymphomaniac, and all-round 
corrupter of innocence.

I expect that from my mother, but it's not the 
public image I strive to cultivate. I never have 
a good response ready. 

"Hmmm," I nod coquettishly, "I'll have to look 
into that." 

The subtext of my vapid reply could be "Yes, the 
internet is a modern-day Gomorrah and I'm in it 
up to my quivering loins," or, "I really haven't 
heard that, but I'm so pathetically hard-up that 
I'm gonna race right home and look."

Neither is what I mean to convey, but the truth 
is probably just as perverse... 

I've never really looked into sex on the net. 

I always plan to, but I never do. I think I've 
always been very nervous about what I might find. 
Who knows? Maybe I myself would become 
corrupted; lured into the nether regions of 
psycho-sexual depravity and cyber-sensual 
abandon... never, perhaps, to return. 

(I shudder at the thought. Several times.)

Well, that sort of cloistered naivete is fine 
when you're just peddling software and minding 
your own business, but now that I'm prancing 
around like an e-marketing guru, I no longer have 
the luxury of ignoring so large and infamous a 
part of our venue.

THE DARING SEXPLORATIONS OF LINDA COX!

I have shifted into my Lara Croft/Wonder Woman 
Intrepid Female Explorer persona and I am now 
going to begin my Conradian trek into the 
internet's dark interior. 

Wish me luck. Here goes...

Okay, I'm back. Thanks for waiting. I'm prepared 
to report now.

Yep, it seems that there IS some sexual content 
on the internet. (Drink, please.) Rather a lot, 
in fact. (Make it a double.) Funny I never 
noticed before. (Is it warm in here?) Actually, 
it's amazing there's room for anything else. 
(WHERE'S THAT FREAKIN' DRINK!?)

Here's what I learned...

1. I can never don my Lara Croft/Wonder Woman 
alter-ego again now that I've seen them locked 
together in alt.sex.binaries.lesbian.actionheroes 
in a bout of no-holes-barred lovemaking.

2. Acts I consider sexually extreme and taboo, 
many people consider warm-up.

3. I will never use a public restroom or changing 
room again. I will never wear a skirt in public 
again. I will never look at many salad 
ingredients the same way again.

4. Certain professions should strictly enforce a 
much earlier mandatory retirement age. 

5. Everything is a sex toy to someone. 
EVERYthing.

6. I found Howard Sprague's private diary online. 
Goober and Floyd I always suspected, but Otis, 
Barney, how could you?

7. Bondage is a cottage industry. I'm not sure 
what BDSM is, but it looks pretty damn 
uncomfortable.

8. I accidentally learned how Vinnie, my pizza 
delivery kid, made ends meet before landing his 
present gig.

9. Some things are better left unshaven.

10. She-males are the damnedest thing since Mike 
the Headless Chicken.

THE GODS OF INTERNET MARKETING

Adult website marketers are the most 
in-your-face, take-no-prisoners, knock-down 
drag-out rock 'n roll marketers on earth. If I 
could sell software the way they sell sex, I'd be 
living on my own island.

IN PRAISE OF CENSORSHIP

Frankly, I very much oppose adult content on the 
internet. I think it should be legislated out of 
existence. Here's why:

Sex is the fire in the belly of civilization. If 
we allow it to become so commonplace that 
everyone gives up the hot and frenzied pursuit of 
it, then humanity will just go sit on the couch 
and watch pro wrestling. And then where will we 
be?

Sitting on the couch watching pro wrestling, 
that's where!

============

Linda Cox (J.A.M.G.) was born in a speeding 
stagecoach amid the screams of fellow passengers 
as insane, wild-eyed horses dragged them all 
crashing toward the brink of destruction. That 
stagecoach was the planet Earth, those passengers 
were the human race, and Linda Cox is Just 
Another Marketing Guru. (The horses were just 
regular horses.)
