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

We don't know about you but we're starting to think that this whole "get paid online" thing is pretty 
damn nifty. We got our first check from AllAdvantage today and there should be one from GTW here 
anytime. By the first of next month there will be a couple of other services ready to send checks. 
Desktop Dollars is one of these, as well as UtopiAD, Spedia and PayBar.com (formerly FreeGamesNow.) 
If you're not a member of GTW and AA yet, we suggest you sign up. Even if you don't refer anyone 
you're still making almost $1 an hour for the time you spend online.

AllAdvantage announced that they have raised the payable hours to 25 for the month of September. 
UtopiAD says that their "CashBar" will be ready on the 29th. Spedias software is ready now but it 
really isn't all that good.

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

ClickRebates      (September 1st) - Not a lot of info available on this one yet. You can see our 
review on the "pay by hour" page..

Deal Viewer      (September 1st) - This one looks good. They say they'll pay up to $1 an hour.

PointClick          (September 9th) - Absolutely no info yet, all you can do is sign up.

Crew Design     (September 9th) - This one pays you for the time you spend offline. Their software 
uses your processors idle time for an, as yet, undisclosed purpose. Our review is on the 
Credits/Surveys/Games page.

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

Most of the "by email" services are sending checks (small ones.) The downside of these is that 
with most of them you probably won't make all that much. The good thing is that it doesn't matter 
how much you make because it doesn't really require any of your time to receive and delete emails.

Not a lot is new with these since the last news list. MailBits is now paying $.50 a referral 
instead of $.25 and Amazing Solution has had a bit of an overhaul. They still have the best 
referral and payment plan but they don't seem very reliable. It's ok because we've talked to them 
and they definitely mean well, they just take things a bit too seriously.

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

Added a new service called FunPoints to the Credits/Surveys/Games page since the last list, as 
well as the new one that pays people to be offline (mentioned in the "by hour" section.)

Only added one new associate program. That's probably a good thing, though, because associate 
programs really aren't very interesting.

(Did we mention, yet, that we think you're looking especially good today? Have you lost weight?)

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 out 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. 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) 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.
