my first experience on making money online

Making cash or money online came up to me as an idea so i tried it and do some research on the web.I was amazed because there are a lot of opportunities on the net, Being a newbie i didn't even consider that this site could be a scam because i was overwhelemd with excitement. So when i came across a site that i think was promising i immediately jumped on board and filled out the registration process,and after all the registration confirmation i was on my way to getting paid this particular program was very good in giving their employees their salary but after a few days i noticed something i didn't expect,when i checked my e-mail there are a bunch of messages from websites and companies that i didnt sign up for,Then i realized that i should first check the background and integrity of the site before signing up again or i may end up having the same problem,and that is a valuable lesson that i learned that day.
