How to Make Money Using Paid
1. Avoid paid-to-surf scams. Carefully select programs that are fully operational and disclose their ownership to members. Also ensure the companies have a good track record of paying members punctually and that the sites are fully operational. Some paid-to-surf sites will have all sorts of flashy banners and 'join now' ads, but these features might not even be currently available, meaning you won't make any money until then.
2. Seek paid-to-surf sites that have good referral programs because earning such passive income is a good way to increase your earning potential. Don't choose a site only due to referral incentives but do give it consideration for its added earning potential. Such sites should have a good referral tracking system in place; thus, you receive a commission when someone registers under you. Seek programs that pay 10 to 30 percent commissions three to five levels deep.
3. Seek paid-to-surf sites that pay internationally, if you reside outside the U.S. Most programs are U.S.-based and some claim to accept members from other countries but then will have some sort of disclaimer in fine print stating that members outside the States are not paid but are welcome to sign up and 'be the first to benefit.' Obviously, then, it is best to choose a program without such restrictions. If you live abroad, be sure to read the fine print before enrolling with any paid-to-surf program. You do not want to make the unpleasant discovery that you are not getting paid.
4. Enroll with a site that pays decently. While the amounts are small, remember that using several of them at the same time makes your earnings quickly add up. Using multiple sites simultaneously is the way to make money. Try to find sites that pay at least 50 cents per hour and have a good referral program. Most have a limit of how many hours can be used every month. Try and find ones that allow 50 hours monthly but don't sign up with one limiting less than 25 hours. Find out the mode of payment. Some pay only via check, while others use Pay Pal.

Examples of videos you can create include product reviews, original music videos or how-to videos.
2. Upload original videos to YouTube. You can sign up for a free account. Once you have an account click the 'upload' button to start sharing your videos. Write brief, keyword-rich descriptions about each video to help viewers find them. A keyword-rich description is one that uses terms people search for to find specific information. For instance, if your videos are guitar playing lessons, you should use a lot of terms related to guitars and guitar playing. Be as descriptive as possible.
3. Promote your videos. Join free online communities that might find the subjects of your videos interesting. For example, if you are making videos about how to play the guitar, join beginner musician forums and link readers to your videos. You can also set up a Facebook page and a Twitter account to connect with people with similar interests. Sign up for an account on each network, and type keywords into the search bar to find people who might watch your videos. For instance, if you want to promote your guitar videos type in 'guitar' or 'guitar player' and the network will populate search results of people who have recently talked about guitars or playing guitars. Start a conversation with these people, and then link them to your video.

A targeted ad is one that is relevant to your video based on viewer demographics or geographic location. Each time a viewer watches your video, you will be paid. The amount you are paid per view depends on the demographics of your audience and the amount the advertiser is willing to pay to reach that audience. Your AdSense account will provide an estimate of how much you will receive per view after you set it up.
