First of all let me clear one thing. On the internet, the only way to make money is via doing one or another kind of a job. Without work, no one can make any money. Money is not for free. That is; no person or site will give away money to other people for free. Why will any body do that?
People on the internet can make legitimate money if they choose the right way. Do not look for online money making opportunities where you are suppose to be paid for doing no work. In order to make money, you will need to do an online job.
There are many legitimate cash making opportunities on the internet and on the other hand, there are many scams too. So the simplest formula to avoid online money scams is to not pay any thing from your pocket to any one. This also includes not giving any personal information like your credit card info.
The legitimate way to make money online is via doing jobs at freelancing sites. Freelancing sites are like a market place where buyers post different kinds of jobs and job seekers place bids on these projects. The buyer chooses one or more winners among all bidders. This is how freelancing sites work.
There are two types of freelancing sites. One is where you can join and work for free. That is, you can place bids on projects without paying any membership fee. But when you won a project and you get paid after the completion of the project; the site charge a small fee. Dont worry; you dont have to pay this fee from your pocket.
This fee will be deducted from the money you will earn at the freelance sties. For example; if you won a project worth $300, and complete it in the given time period. After that, the buyer will pay you the $300 and you will be able to see the money in the freelance sites account.
But instead of $300, you will get something like $285 after the site charge their fees. The other type of freelance site is where you need to pay a membership fee before you can start bidding on projects. I suggest you only work at free freelance sites.
