How 'get paid to read email' programs work? Simply, onlineadvertisers pay commissions to the paid email companies forsending their advertisements via e-mail to members who wantto get paid for reading emails. When you receive a paid e-mail, in order to receive your cash you should click on thelink and visit an advertiser's web site. How much you can earn? Not much. The paid email companiespay from $0.01 up to $1.00 per e-mail that you read.Usually the more they pay, the higher is their payoutminimum. It means that you can request your payment onlyafter you have earned a certain amount of money. It really wouldn't be worth your time if paid e-mailcompanies didn't have referral or affiliate programs. As anaffiliate you can refer new members to their programs andget paid a percentage of what your referrals earn. Note that if you want to make serious money you'll need torecruit at least several hundred referrals. Not to worrythough - there are some free ways to accomplish that, asyou will soon discover.
