How to Earn Money

On eBesucher you collect points, exchange them for euros and have your balance paid out. You take some of the ways to earn yourself; on the others, other people collect for you – this guide shows you every one of them.

Three ways to collect points

You do not have to pick one of them – all three run side by side and can be combined freely.

Demonstration

What a surfbar visit looks like

The demonstration shows in fast forward what happens: a page is opened, stays in the foreground for its display time, the points are credited, the next page loads. You do not have to click anything.

3 ways to earn directly

All three routes work on a smartphone as well. What to watch out for, and which other mobile options exist, is compared across ten routes under earn money with your phone.

1. 1

   Earn with the Surfbar

   The surfbar is the easiest way to start. You use the eBesucher browser add-on and collect points while we present websites to you - one after another.

   Active around the clock No earning limit Unique since 2002

   How it works: The addon opens advertisers' websites in a separate tab. For each visit you receive points – without any effort on your part!

   Earn with Click Ads

   With click ads, you get rewarded for visiting websites and viewing them for a certain time. The earnings per click are higher than with the Surfbar since you participate actively.

   Earning with tasks

   For a task you search for a given term, click the advertiser's page in the search results and stay active there for a short time. In return you receive points directly into your account.

   1 · Search for the page 2 · Click the search result 3 · Visit the page actively

   By default you stay on the target page for 75 seconds – the advertiser can set anything between 15 and 180 seconds. During that time you scroll and open at least one subpage. The eBesucher add-on guides you through the three steps and ticks them off; the points are credited immediately after the check.

   What you need for it: the eBesucher add-on, a passed connection test – it runs automatically in the surfbar – and an internet connection from Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

More ways to earn

Here you do not collect the points yourself – you earn from other people's activity without spending more time on it.

   Earning with referrals

   If someone signs up through your referral link, we credit you 8% of their earnings for life. If that person refers someone in turn, another 5% comes in from the second level. Nothing is deducted from anyone – we pay the bonus on top.

   8% · first level 5% · second level Lifetime Bonus

   Where to find your link: in the member area under Refer friends > Ref link. Ready-made banners and text links are right next to it under Refer friends > Advertising material.

5. 5

   Earning with surflinks

   A surflink is a URL of its own leading to the surfbar, and you can pass it on. Whoever opens it surfs for you – the points land in your account. That person does not need an account with us, a device with a browser is enough.

   You can create as many surflinks as you like, and each one has statistics of its own. That way the family PC, your grandmother's tablet and a friend's laptop all collect for you at the same time – there is no upper limit, neither on the number of links nor on the points.

   As many links as you like Usable without an account Statistics for every link

   Good to know: Surflinks work with the surfbar and with click ads. The priority slider in the surflink options lets you decide whether entertainment or points come first.
