     As with any other business, those that have been around a long time are more apt to be honest and worthwhile than those who just burst on the scene. In the paid to read email program arena, the same rule applies. Joining programs that have been active and paying out for at least a year is wise. Paid email program owners who intend to scam their members will not keep the program up for that long.

   • For example, if a 1-cent paid email is sent to 500 members, the owner needs to have $5.00 to pay those members for clicking on that link. If there are referral earnings in place, the owner needs more than that. If a 1-cent paid email to 500 members has a listed price of anything less than $5.00, the paid to read email program is not sustainable.
