My First Attempt in Freelancing

I started with paid surveys and paid to click advertisement and emails. The only paid survey which paid real money is ciao surveys. There are some other survey websites where i have not reached the payment threshold. They have set a minimum of 50-100 dollars to get a payout.

The screen shot is taken from ciao surveys payments page. They pay in Indian Rupees. They pay via Indiatimes vouchers / Gift certificates. You can redeem these certificates on Indiatimes websites where they sell thousands of Goods online. I have provided the registration link below.

There are some other websites worth trying. You can find them in the link below.

Paid Survey Websites

They give incentives / rewards by cash, sweepstakes, Gift Certificates, product demo samples etc.

I have joined some paid to click programs. These programs are waste of time and energy. I discourage you to join these programs.
