Making money posting or clicking links

[borgie]

i learned that some of you guys could really make money just by posting or clicking links....is this safe? how do you know you get the real deal? sorry for all the questions, i'm new at internet marketing and not a lot of people in my neighborhood know about it.

Hi borgie,

Posting links sounds like affiliate marketing which is OK and what we focus on here - but whether or not the company is legit, well most are, but some aren't. If for starters you stay with brand name retailers or join bonafide affiliate networks you're much safer. If it sounds like "get rich quick" or easy money, it could be a scam.

If you are getting paid to click then it's unethical and possibly fraud. Companies that advertise and pay by the click are looking for real customers to click their ads. If you are being paid to click it's probably a scammer that is taking a cut out of the middle. If you're just clicking to get paid and not clicking because you are interested in buying then the advertiser is getting ripped off.
