If I could still remember that the first time I made my first cheque online was during the time I am still studying for my diploma in polytechnic. The first cheque I received during back then was a fifty Singapore dollars. I was very happy during that time because that is my first time I made money online. I have never thought that money could actually earn on the internet.The thing I did to made that fifty dollars was participating online surveys.
When I was still studying for my first year in polytechnic, I had a little financial problem and so I told myself that whether there is a way that I could make money. By the way, I was studying diploma in information technology and I spent a lot of time on computer and surfing internet to look for information. Then one particular day, I could not remember when, I had this thoughts in my mind. I kept thinking is there any possibility that I could make money on the internet so that I could increase my own pocket money. Then a second thought struck me that telling me to do a search on "making money on the internet" on the google search engine. I did searched a lot of websites on making money on the internet but most of them required to pay for their services or products. During that time, I could not afford to buy any services nor products and so I did another search on the google search engine. This time I searched on making free money on the internet.
Some people may think that there are lots of scams regarding on making money online. This is because they may have been scammed or cheated before and so that is why some of them do not really trust on making money online. This is what I saw on some websites on google search engine when I did the second search. I had a little drawback when I saw those websites talking about scams but I could not just give up because I was kind of desperate that I needed to have money for myself. I did a very long search and then I saw this particular website. This website is from Singapore which is where I am and because this is from my country, I gave my hundred percent trust to that website. The website is created by a company in Singapore. Till today, the company is still functioning and is also a quite well grown company.
The website was about doing online surveys and get paid for it. So I gave it a try. I signed up for a free account and did the profile surveys. After sometime, I kept receiving more surveys to do. The more surveys I did the more points I got. I could not remember that how many surveys I did but it is quite a number. I also could not remember that how long I had kept doing this. Then one day, I logged in to my account. I wanted to take a look how much points I earned so that I could exchange it for cash. I was surprised that I was able to exchange the points for twenty five Singapore dollars at first but could not withdraw it because there was a minimum requirement to meet and that is fifty dollars. Then another day came by, I logged in to my account again. This time I could exchange the points for another twenty dollars. After I exchanged the points, I requested for withdraw of the fifty dollars.
Couple of days went by and finally I actually received the cheque. I did not bank in the cheque when I received the cheque. Instead, I kept in a file and brought it to polytechnic, and told my friends about it. When I told my friends about how I made this money, none of them would want to listen and few of them do not believe me.
From that day onwards, I strongly believe that making money on the internet is possible. Further on, I even attended few classes on internet marketing. I cannot say that I knows everything because technology and internet keep changing, and so I have to keep stay up to date and educate myself more.
