For those of us that have been using the internet as a source of additional income for some time the ability to earn money by viewing ads online is not a new concept. Unfortunately, in the past, the businesses that used this idea fell foul of the authorities and hence weren't that attractive to users.

However, all is not lost as the Power Bar Club has now been launched that uses a similar business model but with a twist. Previously users would need to deposit funds before they could view ads and then earn payments on their deposits. Power Bar Club do away with payments and the whole thing is free to join.

All you will be required to do is login to your account and view a number of ads, should take no longer that 5 to 10 minutes a day. Your payments come about because the advertisers are paying Power Bar Club for the service and you get a portion of those payments.

Because the whole service is free to users you are encouraged to share the service with others and when you do you will also earn additional income from the viewing they do.

So, whilst this seems something of a no-brainer I would just add one word of caution. The whole business model is based on advertisers placing ads based on the premise that the traffic generated is highly targeted and motivated. It doesn't take a lot of thought to see that the majority of people will only be interested in viewing ads and moving on. I'm interested to see whether the long term can be sustained.

Having said that because there is no cost involved I'm happy to recommend the Power Bar Club.
