Recently, there has been an explosion of sites encouraging people to get paid by sending and receiving emails, reviewing websites and reading surveys. WorkAtHomeIdeas have sampled some of these sites, investigating whether they are open to anyone to join.

We have also looked into whether they are worth joining i.e. how much effort is involved to earn any money from participating. They tend to vary quite a lot in how much you can earn and the various ways in which you can build up credits.

If you are going to join more than one 'get paid to...' program, we strongly recommend you first join a central referral network in order that you can put all your programs under one roof. Our recommendation is ReferCentral who help you manage, build and multiply your downline. They give you your own website and they'll even give you an extra 1120 referrals once you get 10 referrals! We suggest you join them first, because then you can join your preferred 'get paid to...' program through them and you'll get that additional boost to your downline. ReferCentral feature all the best 'get paid for...' programs anyway. If they don't feature any you would like to join, you can fill out a simple on-line form with the basic details of the affiliate program and they'll seriously consider featuring it.

Here's a list we have come up with, summarising our findings. Our reviews are in progress, so please excuse us for the sparse results for the time being.
