Earning money on the Internet is great, although most aspiring Internet marketers must climb quite a few rather harsh obstacles to get there. In my personal experience, the biggest challenge has been re-programming myself into thinking it’s okay to spend money to earn it. But to spend money, you’ve got to have some money to spend, and truth is: most people looking to earn money on the Internet have nothing to spend, zero.

There are many ways to earn money online, but right now I want to focus on something you can easily earn enough to pay for decent web hosting and a domain name: online surveys.

Before joining a survey program, check to see whether they support PayPal. If not, don’t bother. With PayPal you get paid almost immediately and most of these survey programs require low minimum amounts for payout.

PayPal is one of the most popular online payment services. It’s free to create a PayPal account, although some fees apply (read the details in PayPal’s user agreement here).

On to the survey programs
I will spread this out a bit and not put all in one post. The first survey company in the list is the Stockholm-based Cint. They welcome International members and have several offices spread out in Europe and the USA. Click here for a list of their partners.

Note: Not all of Cint’s partner panels utilize PayPal or reward their users with real money; some offer points to be exchanged for products or virtual game cash. Only join those paying real money to PayPal.

It is important that you log in and complete your profile within each panel upon signing up, to ensure you receive as many surveys as possible.

I’m not sure why Cint have not added URLs to their clients web sites, but you must look up the clients in a search engine if you want to join their panels. I was already registered with Start.no. They have paid me two times and I’m eligible for a third payout, which is why I decided to join the other local clients as well.

But.. with no links, how am I supposed to find them?
To find their partners websites, use a search engine and type in:
+cint +survey +your-country. It should produce enough information on Cint’s clients to let you find and sign up with them.

How can I earn more money with Cint survey panels?
I am not certain in regard to the details yet; Cint mention 100K unique visitors per month and I have no idea whether it is required, but you can set up your own Cint survey panel and earn money from it when people sign up and complete surveys. Click here for more information.

Next time I will review another survey company accepting International users and PayPal. When you join a couple of these, you will soon receive more than enough money in your PayPal account to afford proper web hosting, a couple of domain names and then some; everything you need to get started with earning money on the Internet!

I like Cint’s panel system, and many of their panel clients offer payouts to PayPal. Meanwhile, if you have any suggestions for other survey companies, I would be happy to include them as long as they are established and accept PayPal and preferably International users.
