Recommended Posts

Hi All Xisto Users,I go to office in weekdays from Monday through Friday but I am sitting idle at home and sometimes go for outings on Weekend. but now I think I should not waste my Weedend in sitting idle.I want to earn money on Saturday and Sundays . I want to earn more than $2 If I spend atleast 4-5 hours a day.Right now I have found some tricks of earning money though PTC (Pay To Click) sites. PTC allows you to click on Advertisements shown on their website and you will be paid if you click on advertise and view it for atleast 30 seconds till the ad is completely open in your browser.search ClicksenseThis PTC websites are not paying well. sometimes I earn only $0.10 after spending 3-4 hours on my computer. So now I think I should quit this way for earning money and find something another which can give me more money by doing their work online.I also know web designing and development. I develop websites in .NET. I am not professional in .NET.I need your comment on how can I earn money online on weekendThank you.

Hi All Xisto Users,
I go to office in weekdays from Monday through Friday but I am sitting idle at home and sometimes go for outings on Weekend. but now I think I should not waste my Weedend in sitting idle.

I want to earn money on Saturday and Sundays . I want to earn more than $2 If I spend atleast 4-5 hours a day.

Right now I have found some tricks of earning money though PTC (Pay To Click) sites. PTC allows you to click on Advertisements shown on their website and you will be paid if you click on advertise and view it for atleast 30 seconds till the ad is completely open in your browser.

This PTC websites are not paying well. sometimes I earn only $0.10 after spending 3-4 hours on my computer. So now I think I should quit this way for earning money and find something another which can give me more money by doing their work online.

I also know web designing and development. I develop websites in .NET. I am not professional in .NET.

I need your comment on how can I earn money online on weekend

Thank you.


I think the best option would be to look for odd jobs (freelancer work) on places like freelancer.com or guru.com. Since you're able to get information on the projects available before accepting, it'll allow you to see if you're capable of the tasks. Doing that should pay a lot more than $2 an hour, :P.

PTC sites are waste of time, they pay pennies and most of the time as soon you reach minimum payment amount, either site gets closed or they block account, so there is no gurantee even whatever you earn you will get it.So instead if I would suggest you finding projects, like design, developing etc, writing content etc, but if you do not have epxertise in them, than build a good blog or website and join good affiliate or PPC program to earn money via online, only these type of user actually makes money online.Work like PTC and all is just waste of time, rather enjoy your time in family or outing or learning something useful, instead of clicking in ads

This is absolutely true as well. The only people who really make money off of PTC programs are the owner and people who get a ton of referrals. If you're just a single person trying to get anything, you won't earn much. But if you have, say, 1000 people under you, that's where the money starts coming.

I don't even think that people with a lot of referrals do really make a lot of money. It's not only a question of the number of referrals you have, but a question of whether they are active or not. And since the one on the bottom makes very little there's nothing to keep him active. Maybe only the same wish to make a lot of referrals. Of course once you start to look at things this is another classic example of Ponzi scheme.

I remember the good old days of 12DailyPro. That is the mother of all Ponzi schemes... 44% return in just 12 says... its fall has marked the fall of the Ponzi scheme online industry. I did have an account with them and some pretty dollars when they were eventually shutdown.

Bottom line is... don't get your hopes up in making money online and not working for it. There is no such thing as free money. Doing freelancing is legit, but for the big bucks you have to have a reputation in order to get the big projects. And reputation comes only with time and small projects that don't pay so great. So be careful what you get into...

as seems there is really no way to make money fast, well i am willing to give 8 hour a day for about 20$.if its under 20$ then its really waste of time.well the referral system is a good idea, but finding 1000 will be really hard.

As a former PTC website owner I feel obligated to let you know that you will probably never get paid by most PTC sites. Although the PTC site owners may have good intentions and fully plan on paying the members, this business model is not sustainable. I know this from experience.In most cases the only advertisers that are purchasing ads from the PTC sites are in fact owners of other PTC sites trying to boost their traffic in a futile effort to attract more advertisers. It is a big ugly circle that drains money from the PTC site owners and eventually causes the sites to shut down and leave any owed balance to members unpaid.During the time that my PTC site was operational, we paid out hundreds of members, but in the end thousands of members who could not reach our $50 payout lost the balance owed to them when my operating funds went dry. The same will likely happen to you unless you are one of the lucky few who hit that payout level before the bottom falls out on the PTC programs you subscribe to.One method that makes some money online is selling drop shipped goods via ebay. Try searching for drop shipping companies online and see how you can get started.The nice thing about drop shipping is that you can list items for sale on ebay without having to stock physical inventory yourself. If an item sells, you simply enter the buyers shipping info into the drop shipping company website, transfer the fee, and keep the difference. If an item does not sell, you only loose the small ebay listing fee so the risks are low and income can be great depending on what you try to sell.

This is very, very true and a lot of people end up getting caught up in them. I've read about some programs that appear to be legitimate, but only to the point of listing jobs that are available. Usually past that you're still on your own in regards to contacting companies and applying. And in that case, you could do that for free anyways.

I've tried to get into the drop shipping thing without any luck. I've gone through many sites and they all have prices that are at about the same as things cost in the store and such, and the ones that seem "decent" are already being undercut on sites like eBay (ex. the drop shipper will sell x item to you for $4.99 but people on eBay already sell them for $3.99).

The only way I've found to make any type of profit at all is to buy in mass bulk (thousands of an item) and sell like that, and that requires a lot of up-front capital.

This is the first time I heard about drop shipping companies. It sounds a great idea. Whether we have to quote our own price or the shipping company have their prices for display and pay commission on sale of their items? I thank you for sharing the idea which sounds really great for me. I might get back to you for further suggestions.
