I haven't just spent money on the Internet. Here are some programs with which I have made money. Associated Content has paid me $92.32 for writing a total of 19 articles. I can write on any subject I want to. My highest paying article has paid me $6.23 and my lowest paying one has been $3.00 which I believe is their minimum. They have always paid me very quickly into my PayPal account. They also have this thing where they will pay you $1.50 for every 1,000 page views your articles get. I have noticed a lot of people are getting thousands of page views for their articles mainly through self promotion all though Associated Content does a pretty good job of promoting your articles for you. I have a total of 596 page views for all my articles which amounts to about .78cents. You have to reach 10,000 page views which would equal $15 before you can get paid but if you do not reach it in one month it rolls over into the next. They use to pay $3 for every referral that you sent them but they discontinued that. I did not have much luck getting referrals which I think kind of proves my point that most people are on the Internet just to make a quick buck with out any work involved. If a person would just write two articles a day at a average of $5 a article that would equal $3,650 a year plus whatever you would get from page views which could be substantial. My biggest problem is thinking about what to write.
