What is Autosurfing for Cash
Autosurf exchanges have been around for a while. They offer members a place to advertise their opportunities for free. It is called an
exchange because in order for you to have your page shown, you have to visit other people's pages. Some smart person took it a level
further and started offering money for members to view the pages. The idea since then took off and today there are a number of sites
offering about the same thing.
Can I really make money?
The answer is yes. But the real question is how much money. You can join most autosurf sites for free. Most even provide you with start
up or bonus cash so you start earning right away. The most common is $10 and 1% return. So if you do nothing but surf each day the daily
requirement (100 - 200 sites) you will earn $0.10 a day, a total of $3 a month. To make more money you need to raise your member level.
You can earn $200/day just by surfing for an hour or so.
How can I raise my member level?
There are 4 ways that I know of that can help you make more money.
1. You can upgrade by using your own money. Please keep it in mind that upgrade funds are not refundable and they are at very high risk.
Don't put in your life savings or money you cannot afford to lose. Be responsible.
2. Advertise your opportunities. The more people sign up and upgrade under you , the more money you will earn in commission. It is not
required to bring in a single person in order to make your money but it is essential for the survival of the program and it can provide a considerable amount
to your account. Not all programs offer cash bonuses for sponsor upgrades. Some will give you surfing credits. You need to check with the
individual sites what they have to offer to you.
3. Take advantage of promotions. There are many sites offering bonus $$$ to your account if you upgrade with $10, $20 or more. Some are
even willing to double your amount.There is a difference between a legitimate offer and some money grabbing scam that is going on with some
sites. If someone offers you $1000 bonus on $10 upgrade, that site will not be in business for long and you most likely will lose your money.
4. Compound!!! As often and as much as you can afford.
How do I compound my earnings?
Compounding your earnings means that you return a portion of your earned money into the program raising your member/account cash level
hence earning your % on a higher base. Most sites upgrade by multiples of $10. So you need to have at least $10 earned in your account
to take advantage of this. Some sites Like Surf & Friendz and Shared Profit will allow you to compound your earnings right away while
others will give you the opportunity once a month at payout time. This is good strategy for a few reasons. One you don't need to
come up with your own money to upgrade, two by not taking the money out then transferring it back you save money on processing fees.
And of course you are earning more!!!
How do I get referrals?
Each exchange you sign up lets you advertise 1-99 sites (the number varies by program). They also provide you with your personal
referral link. You can add these at
each autosurf place you joined. This is your chance to advertise for free. People do look at these pages. Try it.
Depending on how much you are willing to spend on advertising you can also by hits at other click and autosurf exchanges. Place banners
on sites and so on. There are many ways and places to advertise.
Are payouts guaranteed?
NOOOOO!!!!! In fact many sites go down without giving you a cent. In the last 3 months I have seen 2 sites go out of business and
4 are still in business but failed to pay. These are programs that I was financially involved. As I said before, it is high risk but
there are sites that do pay well so good luck.
How do I get paid?
This is just about the only thing that is different at each autosurf site. However, to get paid you will need a payment processor.
They can move the money between your autosurf site and you. Payments can be requested as soon as the minimum is reached
or once a month. You will have to check with the individual site. Not all the autosurf sites accept all the processors so you have to
make sure that you have at least one that your autosurf site is able to fund.
It is up to the site how they handle payments but they are likely pay in bulk at the end of the month. They have preferences by which
time your request for payment should be submitted otherwise you will have to wait for another month. There are some
where they do forced payments (meaning they will pay you without request when you have earned at least the minimum)
Surfed 1000 sites where is my money?
Common mistake new pay to surf members make that they believe the more they surf the more they get paid. This is not
true. You MUST surf the minimum required by the site in order to receive the offered % for the day. Anything
over will simply add credits to your account which you can use to show you business opportunities (if any). Some
programs will purchase back credits but it's rare. On the other hand, failing to surf the required will result in
the loss of revenue for the day.
How long is my upgrade good for?
Most are for 6 months to a year.
Is this a long term business?
I wish I could say yes. The truth is that the sites are disappearing at an alarming rate. Many hardly can make it over 3 months. Ther ones that based
their businesses on earnings from different sources will survive. Studio Traffic is one of the most stable ones around. It is also hard to tell which sites
will survive when they first open. Anybody can start an paid autosurf site for about $200-$300 but not everybody has the talent and the understanding to
make the site a sucess.
Are there any hidden charges?
Most sites do not require you to pay anything in order to earn. Some however have membership fees. Studio Traffic requires a one time
fee of $10 as membership fee for life. Some have $10 monthly membership fees for as long as you want to earn money. Others like
HonneyImm will charge you a membership fee but will allow you to earn higher % than free members.
Why should I upgrade?
You will make more money You will have 1:1 surfing time. That means you have to watch 100 pages to get 100 credits
compared to 200 sites most cases for free members. There are also extra bonuses that paid members receive like monthly bonus credits.
How can they pay so much?
Some of the fees will be absorbed by running costs but the remainder will become part of the pool to be paid to members. In order for
you to receive more than the amount you paid, the site relies on future earnings from the growth of memberships and other revenues. As
long as the autosurf site continues to receive income during your membership, you will be paid. Some members may choose not to surf
every day and therefore earn less than the potential maximum. For example, if a member surfs only 25 days in a month, they will earn
50% for the month at the proposed rate. Different sites try different ways to bring in more money. They sell credits and banner advertising
set up their own processors, sell memberships on eBay etc. Some owners also invest the money in places that provides higher returns than
what he pays the members.
What are pop-ups?
This is a type of advertising that pops up without warning while you are surfing. Some will stop your surfing all together and you must
click to close them to continue. There are fly in ads (same idea but they slowly slide in from the side or top of the page). There are pop
unders, these windows are opened behind your current window so you will not notice them till you are closing down. A new kind I just started
noticing is a page takes over your current window and it disappears when clicking any other window. Overall they are very annoying. Most autosurf
sites ban them but people still try to sneak them in. If you are caught using them you can lose your membership with all your earnings and
upgrades.
Will I get a virus surfing these sites
Unless you protect yourself you will. I have two virus checkers that are running all the time plus a third one that I run once per day and
they still get in. You must set your browser to clean all cookies and temporary internet files when you close your browser. It is essential.
While the site owners work really hard to make sure there are no viruses and other destractive programs coming through their site
there are a lot of fellow surfers who are working just as hard to get these programs delivered to your system.
Catch 22
There are two.
1. Since the run time of these sites are fairly short, you make the most money if you get in when it first opens and upgrade as much as you can.
The catch is that many paid to surf sites disappear without a trace, most without ever paying you a cent. So if yo don't investigate them before you
put a lot of money into it, you will lose a lot very quickly.
The other one is on the admin side. If the system is experiencing (even temporary) problems and the admin discusses it with the members, their trust
in the system may weakens, they will hold off on investments and that will further undermine the health of the system.
I am new where shall I start
Before you start you should set your system up for business. Make sure that you have current virus checkers and that they are always updated.
You will need a good browser that will allow you to run several sites at once and stops most pop-ups. Set your budget
(remember you can start without investing any money) Pick out a few programs that look reliable and start surfing every day. Remember by
turning a part of your earned money back you will raise your member level and will earn more money. You can set a game plan and follow it as
close as you can. If you are investing, it is a good idea to put your money into several programs. I think if half of them go out of business
you still making more than what you are loosing. Make sure you have a processor that is accepted by the site you are working with. You will
use them for upgrading your account as well as receiving your earnings. You are ready to go. Good luck. Don't forget to advertise.
Tips
I believe there are three types of program owners out there today.
1. Opens the site gets quick money and disappears without a trace.
2. An honest person who fell for the advertising on how easy it is to run your own autosurf for cash site and gave little thought to where the
money will come from
3. A serious business man/women or group who are financially solid and full of money pulling ideas.
Our job is to find number 3.
Don't invest more than you can afford.
Quality is better than quantity. Having a few good programs is much better than having them all. It saves you surfing time and you will
lose less money.
If a site has a forum use it. It is the best place to talk to others and see what experiences others have with the same site.
Some sites allow you to have multiple sessions at the same site. This simply means that you can open more than one surf site hence achieving
the required limit in a shorter time. How do you open more of the same surf site? You log in to your member page and find the link surf for cash
(or what ever they use) right click and choose "Open in New Window" this will open a surf page in a new window. You can do this as many times
you want to or as many windows your browser will support. A lot is not necessary good. It can also slow you down. You can also use your
browser's new window function to copy the current page.
Always check that you are getting the right amount of points and $$$ for your efforts. Many sites experience issues when the counters are off
or something is wrong in general. If you don't know what you should be getting, don't expect others to know it either.
Start your surfing as early as possible. This way you minimize the possibility of you running out of time before reaching the minimum
credits required. Of course you have to set your own routines for surfing. It is good to know what the server time on each site you surf is set to.
It happened to me one too many times that I had reached 99 or 149 sites and the server clock moved over to next day. I lost the whole day
of surfing. There is one site Surf Salary who will pay you for what you surfed so you will not lose all your efforts if you cannot finish.
