You may have heard or been reading things on people that seem to make money reading emails. Sounds nice and easy, even a person new to the internet could do it. Right? So surely you can make money reading emails too.

Well let us start at the beginning. Just what is reading emails and getting paid all about? There are sites that pay you a few cents at a time to read email offers from third-party companies, they do this for a variety of reasons, but pennies can add up to dollars if you keep doing it.

These email messages will include ads about various products and services. You would need to read them and do what is asked, that could be clicking on a link or feeding out a form.

If you decide this is something you would like to do, then follow these few instructions.

Research and find a legitimate site.

Check with the BBB and MacAfee site advisor for problems and viruses

Read the site

Determine what you are getting paid. Some pay with money some with points.

Determine how many emails you will get a day

Know if you have to have certain amount of points or cash to be paid

Sign up another free email site so the mail does not go to your personal account

White list your sites so email will get through the spam filter

Make sure that you click that you read the link

Now you must remember that once you sign up with a company and accept that they will be sending you emails, you must accept the emails. They are willing to pay you to get the information and exposure they want.

You are giving the companies permission to spam you for a time when you agree to be paid to read. You will not know how many emails you will get until you join and begin with the company. This is why it is important to get a separate email for this.

You can sign up for free emails from

Yahoo
Gmail
Hotmail

Wondering how much you will get paid to read emails? Well, it will not pay for a trip to Spain. It all depends on how many you read, how much time you spend on the internet, how many people you get to join and how many companies that you join.

It seems the average right now for each email is from 1 to 5 cents, some may go higher if there are things you need to do. Most people will make about 100$ to 200$ and that is with some pretty steady reading, and so it is obvious that you will never be able to quit a good job and be supported by this.

To be paid you will most likely need a PayPal account and they will put money from your statistics in it once a month. Read the fine print about this. It is also advisable that you never pay money to join a paid to read email site.

As you can see, you can make money reading emails. It is simple and probably boring but it does bring in some cash.
