1. Do your own homework. Then when some idiot asks you these same questions in the future, you can actually answer them.
2. Hola , for making cash online one of the best options are paid per lead websites that pay for every lead you send through a link they give you, not for every sale. That way you get paid whether they buy or not. My favorites are CPALead and Loudmo, you can Yahoo them.
