Paid To Surf A Few Sites A Day

The concept of surfing and being paid to surf is not new. Several exchanges pay cash if you surf a required number of sites. Today I want to look at a relative newcomer in that field, an exchange called Ad-Ventures 4 U

Adventures is not a very old site, but it looks promising. The site is family owned, and the owners say they are sick of people getting scammed. We have all heard that before and therefore I was very cautious before joining. Some of the money they pay out is money paid in by other members of the exchange and some of the money comes from investments they have made. They promise to pay 75% of their Revenue and 90% of all other income (investments).

The exchange offers two different memberships. Free members are required to surf 70 sites a week. As far as I can see free members do not earn any money, but can use the site as a normal exchange. Paid members buy Ventures. One Venture costs $10.00. Paid members are required to surf 25 sites each day. If a paid member does not surf one day, his/her income for that week is reduced by 1/7 th of the weekly pay out for that week.

I had bookmarked the site several times before I decided to join, partially to see what was going on and partially because I could not make up my mind about whether I wanted to invest money in it. I know $10.00 is not much money, but I have made a decision to only invest money now in on-line activities if I have earnt the money on-line before. Since I had about $20.00 in AlertPay at the time, I had more or less decided to join when an offer came my way that made the decision for me.

I surf on a traffic exchange that features team surfing. One of my team members said he would pay for one venture for each of the members of the team if they joined under his link. Referral earnings are 15%. He had been with Adventures for quite a while and had regularly withdrawn earnings. He is only paying for new members if he has already earned the money in Adventures so sometimes it can take a little while to get upgraded. However, true to his promise he upgraded me within a couple of days.

I surfed my 25 sites and advertised my site link as well. Got a few referrals and helped upgrade a couple of them. Now I am getting to the point where I will start to see a weekly income quite soon. It will not be a huge amount, but it will be real money and it will be paid into my AlertPay account.

The plan is to leave half the money earned in the account each week, so that it will be automatically reinvested in more Ventures, thereby earning me more money again each week. If you do not withdraw your earnings they will be reinvested. On the site there is a weekly schedule that tells you when to check how much you have earned, how much you wish to withdraw and if you did not withdraw, a day later you see that your ventures have increased.

It is not a new concept. I also belong to another similar site, where you buy a venture and have to autosurf 35 sites a day (Adventures is manual surf) and earn 5% of your original investment each day you surf the 35 sites. Their minimal investment is $25.00 and I plan on blogging about them soon. They have already paid me twice.

What I like about Adventures, apart from the earning potential, is that you can use it as an ordinary Traffic Exchange, it is manual, the claims are not outrageous and it is not expensive to join. The admin is very funny, and sends emails updating regularly. I think Adventures may be a risk worth taking and the potential earnings are very pleasing.
