New services since the last NewsList: 

Urge2Net         (October 20th) - This one has potential. 

VIPBenefits      (October 20th) - Not great but not terrible either. 

mValue           (October 21st) - Looks good, currently running a contest with 1111 cash prizes. 

PaysU            (October 23rd) - New UK based company. 

C-Pay            (October 26th) - Another new one from the UK. 

MakingCash       (November 6th) - Not much info yet. 

BannerUntion     (November 11th) - Not too bad. 

ePilot           (November 15th) - Was 1Navigator. 

Extra$alary      (November 17th) - Paid surfing and paid email programs. 

That should be enough new companies to keep anyone busy for a while. 

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 

Everything seems to be going well for the "paid email" companies. It's takes a while to earn a 
significant amount of money with these but with a decent amount of referrals it can ad up pretty 
quick. 

New services since the last NewsList: 

NightMail  (October 23rd) - Pays you to use their free email accounts. 

CashMagic  (November 9th) - This one looks good. 

You can see reviews of all the above mentioned services at:

-Other Services- 
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/OnlineCredits.php 
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/WebmasterPrograms.php 

Lots of new Credits/Surveys/Games companies since the last newslist. Some of them are very good, 
even better than some of the "pay to surf"
services. 

Added a new promo resource to the Associate/Affiliate page. Also reviewed a new associate program. 
It's definitely worth a look.

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%. 

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 100s 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.
