How we work
Editorial policyWe name our sources
Fees, rules and payout terms link to the platform’s own documentation, so you can check them yourself.

We disclose money
Affiliate links and sponsored articles are labelled at the top of the page, not buried in a footer.
One useful email a week
What we published, what changed in a platform’s rules, and any scam we have verified. No income promises, no sponsored blasts.
Questions readers ask first
How much can I realistically earn online?
There is no honest single answer. It depends on your skill, the market you sell into, how much time you have and how long you keep at it. Anyone quoting you a fixed daily figure is selling something.
Do I need to pay to start?
Not to start working. Real platforms take a commission after you are paid. Costs you may genuinely face are things you choose — a domain, a tool, equipment — never a fee to unlock work or receive your own money.
Do you get paid for recommendations?
Sometimes we earn a commission when a reader signs up through a link, and any article containing those links says so at the top. Payment never buys a recommendation or a position in a list.
I was scammed. What should I do?
Stop paying immediately, keep every message and receipt, contact your bank about a reversal, and report it to your country’s cybercrime or consumer-protection authority. You can also tell us using the scam-report form so we can warn other readers.
