What have I done? (the Zara, you're such a sucker post)

So I've been signed up to read e-mails for a while. I'm a student! I can't say any of them have ever sent me a cheque... but it's worth a try? Actually I'm earning quite quickly with these two programs, although when I say 'quickly' I mean more than $0.10/month. But if you join up with those links I would've referred you and every time you get an e-mail I get paid too. :D Like, $0.005!

Anyway, point is, these e-mails are usually chock full of other people advertising their ways to earn money easily! and quickly! with no work! on the internet. And you know, I usually don't fall for them. But I read them through anyway to see if they're viable - they're usually not. Most of them don't even tell you what happens, they just say "SIGN UP NOW AND DOUBLE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!" etc.

So what have I fallen for?

I've fallen for randomizers. they're prolific! But actually they're Not A Bad Idea. They've quite pyramidal schemeish actually in that you pay someone to join the program and you earn money by other people joining the program. BUT you don't need to refer anybody yourself! In pyramid schemes you have to directly refer people to join the scheme to make any money, but in a randomizer, other people refer, the page randomizes someone for the joiner to pay, which could be any of the members of the scheme. There's a weighted rotation though, so the more people you refer the more your name gets rotated. The legal part of the scheme is that when you sign up you get stuff - scripts, links, etc.

So now I sheepishly inform you that... yes, I have signed up for not one, but two randomizers. One of them cost me a grand total of $10 and the other $15, but convert it into pounds and that's about £9 and £5.50, which is a sum of money but to be quite honest, not that much. More than anything I'm curious to see if these things work - I am actually quite deliberating setting one up for the UK if I get my membership money back and more. The point is this - it really is a way to earn money by not doing anything. Yes you have to pay a one-off fee, but that's going to someone who paid their one-off fee.... and with any luck you will get at least two random referrals which will pay you and cancel off your fee.

So. Do you think I'm stupid or are you interested? Here are the programs...

Random Cash Unlimited - yes, they all have lame names like these! This is the $15 one, that's because $5 goes to the person who directly referred you, $5 goes to a random member, and $5 goes to 'admin' (see why it would be highly profitable to set one of these things up?)

Five Dollars.biz - This is your basic $10, pay $5 to random member, pay $5 to admin.

If you join one of these - good luck! If you think I'm a sucker and will never get paid, well then you're probably smarter than I am! I will update if I ever get paid.
