One of the easiest ways to be earning money on the web right now is by being a member of one of the numerous paid-to-autosurf
sites. However, like anything else on the web, they are not all created equal. Over the years, I've been a member of a few that
no longer exist. They still offer a excellent way to earn an income, just don't risk more than you can lose, nor put all your
eggs in one basket.
The best thing to do is to have a strategy to maximize your involvement. What I do is to decide how much I want to risk on
the site and make that purchase early. There is little sense in being a free member of any of these sites. First, it almost
always increases your surfing requiremnets. And, second, it most often takes too long to reach any kind of payout using just
the free level you are given for joining. But, after having made that 'investment', it is important to recover it as soon as
practical. My general rule is to withdraw one-half my earnings each period (weekly, life of upgrade, monthly, or whatever applies)
until I have at least broken even. Leaving the other half in the program to increase my account, and thereby increase my
periodic earnings.
Here are the Top Five that I currently surf every day:
Auto-Surf.Biz -
I have been a member of this program since July 2005. Since then, I have been paid or compounded my earnings numerous times.
There are two key features to this program: (1) you can be paid or compound your earnings each and every week, and (2) your
paid upgrades last FOREVER. What I tend to do is compound my earnings one week and withdraw them the next week.
So, do you want to earn 1% of your purchased upgrades forever?
Now, will you let me add a bonus to your involvement? Join by clicking on the program name above, and I'll add $5.00 to your SpotAds
account for every $50.00 you upgrade at ASB. Would you like to get $7.00 back for every $50.00 you upgrade? Then, upgrade at ASB,
use the $5.00 bonus to buy a banner spot at SpotAds, watch it cycle and receive $7.00 back!!!
eProfit Surf -
This is a program that is affiliated with Auto-Surf.Biz, and I've also been a member for a while. It pays 2% per day, but your paid
upgrades 'only' last for 2 years. Compared to the 12 days at 12DailyPro, this timeframe is significant. At 12DP, you get 144% (12 days x 12%)
of your upgrade, while at EPS you get 1460% (730 days x 2%), over 10 times as much on a single purchase.
And, I'll add my bonus here as well. Due to the differences in the referral commissions, and I'll add $5.00 to your SpotAds
account for every $100 you upgrade at EPS. So, just join by clicking on the program name above, and start down the road of
getting earnings and bonuses.
TenDaily -
This is one where I got in relatively early, as member #894. I have been extremely pleased with my involvement. I have developed
a personal relationship with the Admin, and find her to be an excellent individual. Here you can earn 10% of your Member Level
every day for 20 days. The only down-side is that it only accepts payments to/from StormPay. Due to the recent 'happenings' at
INTgold and e-gold, this is not as much of a down-side as it used to be. Also, with StormPay charging fees similar to PayPal
(for those that are willing to pay the almost $20 fee to get NetIBA certified), it is a better option for many programs, as
SP is not as quick to 'freeze' the accounts of the programs we all would like to rely on.
12 Daily Pro -
I didn't join this one for a while, as indicated by my member #48624, but have been extremely pleased ever since I did. Have turned
an initial purchase of $30 into an account level of over $200. And they do pay like clock-work within the 7 business days of an
upgrade expiring. Even given their recent 'hiccups' (related to switching from e-gold to EMO as an alternative to StormPay), I have
been pleased with the performanc of and communication from the Admins. I intend to stay the course with them through 2006, and continue
to grow my member level.
CashWave-Surfing -
There are a number of features about this program, where I am member #209, that I like. One is the relatively high daily percentage of
5%. Be cautious of those that offer things 'too good to be true' (like one I've seen of 21% per day), as they most likely are...that is,
unrealistic 'promises' are hard to keep for long. Another feature that appeals to me is the 'Pay anytime, based on request' policy. It
raises the comfort level to be paid quickly, as opposed to waiting too long into the next month to be paid for your efforts of the
prior month. Also, the Admin is working to get the forum more active, and is always quick with notes on what is happening at the site.

While I surf others on a daily basis, they either fall into the category of being so new that I cannot recommend them yet, or
are ones where I've been involved for awhile, but do not feel comfortable recommending that others get involved at this time.
