GET PAID TO READ E-MAILS
All these companies are completely
free to join. You just click on the relevant banners or
links and follow the instructions.
Most companies in this field are US
based and pay out in dollars, but many also offer Paypal
payment and some also pay out in local currencies as well,
making them easier to promote worldwide whilst a few are
setting up in UK and Europe, payable in euros or
sterling.
In most cases you receive an e-mail
from the company and simply click on the link to acknowledge
receipt. Sometimes you earn extra by going to the site advertised and
registering or reviewing it. Some sites also offer bonus offers where
you can earn much more by accepting the offer within the mailing.
Before joining any of the programs, consider getting yourself a separate
e-mail address, to minimise the risk of subsequent spam. You can always dump the address later.
I'd also recommend you download a copy of Roboform. This free software can be used for auto-filling registration forms
greatly simplifying the application process for the companies you'll be joining. In addition it can also remember all
the passwords for each of the sites you join. Find out more from Roboform.

One well established and extremely positive site is
MatrixMails.
Not only do they pay you to read e-mails, but they guarantee a minimum of 1 cent per e-mail
(so none of these "5 searches for half a cent" e-mails you may have seen)
You also have the option to upgrade for a small fee (with money-back guarantee)
to remove the minimum payout level, to receive at least a double payout on all your e-mails,
to get paid a sign-up bonus for all your referrals and get a share of
unallocated sign-ups, and get free e-mail advertising and web hosting.
There is also an optional forced matrix plan to earn extra. I've earned, and been paid over $200 from this company.
TakeTheInternetBack is a new site that pays you to read e-mails, but with a twist.
Not only are you earning for the mailings you read, but you also own a share of
the company itself, completely free forever! You even get a $10.00 sign up bonus, free downloads, and
a contract assuring you of ownership.
Unlike similar sites, the free downloads are very valuable in their own right.
These include a massive collection of 'How To' Internet Marketing training videos
and software for submitting articles, blogs and ads to thousands of relevant sites
with little more than the touch of a button. I'm personally finding the article
submission software invaluable. Even better, most of the software comes with resell
rights so you can even sell them, despite having obtained them free of charge yourself.
This site is showing great promise. Despite being only a few months old, it is already
making monthly profit payouts. At present these are working out at roughly the equivalent
of 1 cent per e-mail but this figure can only grow as the company becomes more
established. With a $20 payout level and a $10 start up bonus, this is one that will
generate regular payouts, and of course you are a part-owner of the company. Part
of the WLPP group, there is no question regarding the integrity of TakeTheInternetBack. Highly recommended.
HtMail
pay for just clicking and
reading and you have the choice of being paid in dollars or
pounds sterling. You can just click to acknowledge receipt
of your e-mail but you earn more by actually visiting the
site, and answering a few standard questions on your opinion
of the site. You also only need to earn £5 or $10 for a
payout. I've received several hundred dollars from this site.

Scam Warnings and points to consider
With sites only paying a few cents for each e-mail, it can be tempting to sign up for sites
promising to pay tens if not hundreds of dollars for each mail you read. Unfortunately, these
sites invariably fail to make any payouts as the sums simply don't add up. To pay you $100
for an e-mail, the advertiser would have to pay the company in excess of this figure,
which they simply would not do. The sole exception to this are companies that pay
you to act on an e-mail - eg take up an offer or make a purchase. Here you can earn several dollars a time,
but watch out for the minimum payout levels, especially for a new site. Sites can disappear overnight so don't
make a purchase solely for the earning potential, unless the site is one of the bigger,
well established in this field.
In general, the higher the payment per e-mail, the higher the threshold before you'll get paid.
20 cents and e-mail may seem attractive, but if you need to reach $100 before you receive a cent,
then the lower earnings with a $10 threshold may be more realistic.
You should also be aware that when looking to earn from referrals, it is often necessary
for your referrals to reach the payout threshold before you receive a bonus. You don't earn $5 or more just for signing them up.
