I get a lot of questions on ways to make some extra income. A few months ago I started using YouData. Since it is a fairly new company, you can’t make a ton of money with it, but it does generate some extra money for me each week.
Here’s how it works:
You use their program to view ads, and you get paid for each ad that you view. Instead of google and other ad companies making the money, you are making it! Sometimes it’s .25 cents for viewing an ad, and sometimes it’s .10 cents. It takes me just a few seconds to view all of the ads they have for me each week and I make $3-$6. That’s not a lot, but over the course of the year that can really add up. The nice thing is that they pay you through paypal every Friday. The first week I signed up, I started viewing ads on a Friday. I spent about twenty seconds viewing all the ads, and because it was Friday I had over $4 in my papal account within a few hours of first doing it. You can bet I was pretty excited about it!
Quick Tip: Sign up for a free paypal account and do NOT upgrade it. This way you will not be charged any fees from Paypal, because the money YouData sends you is funded. YouData does take out a few cents if you select to be paid with Paypal.
Not only can you make money by viewing the ads, but you can also make money for referring friends. You get $1 for each person that you refer, and for each of the first 100 times one of your referrals is paid for their attention, you receive a $0.01 referral bonus. That can really add up over time.
Payday is tomorrow, so go ahead and sign up with YouData HERE, view some ads and enjoy the extra money that comes your way. When I first signed up it took a few days for ads to finally come in, so just be patient if you don’t have any paid ads right away.

I’ve been using YouData for about 6 months now, and wanted to just add on to something you mentioned – YouData automatically takes fees out of your Paypal payments. It’s only a few cents each time, but there is no way to avoid this. (For example, if you earned $2.80, you might get paid $2.77.) It does not matter how your Paypal is set up (funded/unfunded, verified, etc.), they automatically take the fees out. Also an interesting side note – YouData is the only company I know of that takes Paypal fees out of your payments. The other money making/paid survey/get paid to read email companies do not.

I just signed up
There is no way to sign up if I don’t have cellphone?
I think the company is working on coming up with an alternative.
Signed up with your referal link! =)
Already made $3.23 on the adds.
I signed up, but it can’t be used if you do not have text messaging on your phone. I do not text, so….
Went to sign up and the link keeps coming up with server not found.
PS Neobux also takes a small fee out of your payment too.

The reason Thrifty said not to upgrade your account is to avoid Paypal’s fees. Even if YouData takes out their few cents up front, if you have an upgraded Paypal account they will take another chunk (I believe the current rate is around 3%). So regardless of what YouData takes, it’s still best to have a standard account to avoid the extra loss.
I’ve only made $1, since I started saturday I need to wait until next week to get paid but it doesn’t matter I’ll have more by friday.
