Learn, Don't Just Do

If your objective is to make money online, you must be willing to learn from others. The key is to seek credible information that does not require an investment of anything but your time. Just because you pay for a book, video, or course does not mean you are getting good information. A lot of information contained in e-books, e-courses, and marketing kits is nothing but repackaged information you can get online by doing keyword searches.

Before you invest any money to make money, get all the free information you can get. By the time you have exhausted what is online for free you will be able to write your own e-book. Do not fall into the trap that good promoters set of paying for information that others gladly give away.

Take for example learning how to work the Get Paid To sites. You can do a keyword search at google for the specific site you are interested in and you will find reviews, forums, videos, and other information that will help you decide if that site is legitimate, what the minimum payout is, referral percentages, etc., etc.

You can spend a lot of time completing offers. You want to make sure of two things: you are as knowledgeable about what it takes to get offers confirmed as possible, and you are sure that you will be paid for your work. That's why it's smart to take it slow and only complete a few offers initially.

One good thing to do is to join the forum associated with the GPT site. Read what others are saying about the site. See what offers are confirming and what the members are doing to improve their confirmations. Many times the members will post copies of their payments for others to see that the site is a paying site. Use all the information you gather to formulate a plan for yourself.

Make the best use of this information by applying it to whatever area of online business you desire. Make learning the most important part of your endeavor and  not only will you make money, but you will develop a keen sense of how to do it more efficiently.
