What Is A Get Paid To Site?

2010-08-26T15:01:00.000-07:00

Get Paid To Sites are programs that basically pay you to view advertisements, take surveys, read e-mail, play free online games, shop online, redeem grocery coupons, complete special offers and more depending on the site. Advertisers pay these programs to reach consumers like you in order to get more exposure and in turn, the revenue received from the advertisers is shared and paid out to the members. This is the basic concept of these sites but the programs and layouts, and rewards may vary depending on the program. These are great sites, whether you're looking to earn some fast, extra cash or build a steady stream of income.
Are These Sites For Real?
Absolutely. These are major businesses that advertise with these programs. Most programs have been around for years, some with over 2 million members worldwide. There are no fees to join, and they send out thousands of dollars in payments to members every month. InboxDollars for example, has even been featured on television (Good Morning America). All have forums you can visit where you can talk to other members about their experience with the programs, see proof of earnings or just get advice and tips on how to maximize your earning potential.
Is There A Fee To Join?
These sites are 100% free to join and should be. They make money from the advertisers and should never charge the members. (If you come across a site that has a membership fee, be careful. Be sure to research the program before you pay a fee.) In addition most offer you a sign-up bonus which is instantly credited to your account upon activation.
How Can I Earn Money?

Here is a basic breakdown of the ways you can earn money:

1. Paid Email:
Programs will send you emails daily (# of emails depends on site) with special offers and advertisements from vendors. You view the emails, confirm reading them and your account is credited instantly. The usual credit is $.02. Doesn't sound like much, but if you view 10 a day and are in a couple of programs, the money can start to add up pretty fast. Also, most of the advertisements will be for offers that if your interested in and decide to pursue, will earn you even more money. ($ amount depends on the offer, it can be anywhere from $.50 to $20 or more)

2. Paid Surveys:
Market research companies rely heavily on the opinions of consumers and most will pay to get yours. Most surveys are anywhere from 8 to 20 minutes long (depending on how fast you go), and pay out from $.50 to $3.00. Most payouts for surveys take 2 to 3 days to credit to your account and most programs have bonus drawings for every one completed.(Some prizes up to $25,000) The only catch with surveys is that you have to give your honest opinions. If you rush through these without much thought you could be determined unqualified to take future surveys.

3. Cash Offers:This is where you can make quite a bit of money. These sites will pay you to complete offers from advertisers, anywhere from $.50 to $150. And there are a lot of offers that can be completed. Most are 100% free, some are trial offers and some are paid offers. Obviously the paid offers pay out the most, trial offers next, then free offers. Most are payouts are credited to your account within a couple of hours, some within 2 to 3 days. Depending on the program you can easily earn an extra $75 to $150 or more in a day with these!

4. Online Shopping:
Ever shop online? Some of these programs, for instance SendEarnings, will pay you up to 40% cash back for your purchases and get you deals from everyday retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart, Gap, Old Navy and Dell. In addition to getting great deals you can also get coupon codes for even more savings. (Don't forget the cash-back!)
5: Grocery Coupons:

This is great for families or anyone that shops big and uses coupons. Some programs, like InboxDollars, offer hundreds of printable grocery coupons just like you would get in the newspaper for everyday groceries. You use the coupons and you earn cash for redeeming them. Its like saving twice. All you do is print, shop, save, earn – it really is that simple!
6: Play Online Games:

Some programs will pay you to simply set up a free Cash Games account and credit you up to $10 to get you started. You can compete against other players, and get paid to play online games!

7. Referrals:
All programs offer referral programs which, if you have a large network of friends or colleagues, can help you generate a serious, steady stream of income. Also, once you join, you'll have access to promotional banners that you can advertise to help you build your referral list. Here is an example of one of mine from FusionCash:

Anyone who clicks on your banner and becomes a member then becomes your referral and you begin to earn a certain percentage of his/her earnings immediately. The amount depends on the site, which I'll explain each in more detail further on. On top of referral commission, some sites will also give you a referral bonus ($3 to $5) for each referral you receive. An example of the revenue you can generate would be as follows:
Say you join and sign up 10 friends and each makes only $25 to start:
Referral Bonus: $5 = $50 Referral %: 20% = $50
You make an extra $100 cash for doing absolutely nothing. As they continue to earn, you continue to earn. Join a couple programs and do this and pretty soon you're earning serious money. Build your referral list higher and there is no limit to how much you can earn. Don't get me wrong, it takes some work to build your referrals (unless you have tons and tons of friends), but it's worth the effort if you want to create a steady stream of revenue.
These are the basic ways to earn with Get Paid To sites, but again depending on which one you join, it can vary. Some, TreasureTrooper and SnapDollars for example, offer a variety of other really fun games that can earn you rewards and extra cash.

How Do I Get Paid?
This depends on the program you join. Most have a minimum payout (usually around $20 to $25), which can be easily earned in 10 to 15 minutes. Some pay automatically on a certain day of the month, others you have to request your earnings. Some pay only by check by mail, others will send you a check or deposit your cash straight to your PayPal account.

Tips To Maximize Your Earnings

Once you've joined a couple of Get Paid To sites you can use these tips to squeeze out the maximum amount of money available as possible.

Tip 1:

Remember, you receive the most money by completing offers, and the offers you have to pay for pay out the most. Sound crazy? - Pay for an offer and then get money back? - Well if you do it correctly it works. First be selective. If the offer costs $10 and you get $8 for completing it, obviously it's not a good deal unless, of course, it's for something that you really want or would pay for anyway. The best way to complete these offers is to use a prepaid visa card. (You can pick up a $10 to $20 card at any local Walgreens, CVS, etc...) This way, your not giving out your personal account info. And if by chance you sign up for something you didn't want, say a month to month payment, your personal account won't be charged over and over again. You'll only be charged to the limit of your prepaid card.
Tip 2:
Trial offers are the next highest payout. (Most are 7 to 30 day trial offers) Again, using your prepaid card, you can sign up for these, receive your payout and cancel before your card is even charged. The trick to this is when you initially sign up for the offers make sure to write down the dates of the trial period (so you know when to cancel by), the website URL, contact info (so you know how to cancel your subscription) and your login & password. Keep this list right by your computer to check daily to see if any upcoming trials are expiring. This makes things a lot faster and easier. Remember once you receive your credit for an offer you can cancel it and cross it off your list. Following this system I've made hundreds of dollars with the same $20 prepaid card.
Tip 3:
If you run past a trial period don't hesitate to call the website and ask for a refund. You can say anything from you couldn't get through to your wife signed up for the offer without your knowledge. Anything to dispute the charge. Nine times out of ten the site will credit the funds back to your card. Don't take advantage of this though. Keep a record of your trial dates and make sure to constantly update it. But if you happen to "forget" this can help.
Tip 4:
You'll also get paid to download things to your computer. (Games, tool-bars, etc...) Make sure when you do the initial setup, you check custom setup and uncheck any boxes that ask if you want to download any additional tool-bars, software, homepages etc... . Only download what you receive payment for. Once you receive credit, go to your control panel and delete the program.
Tip 5:
Open new email accounts. Most offers will ask for your email and some keep a record of it to prevent multiple payouts. You can open a new account (takes 2 minutes with yahoo) and complete the offers again. Also this prevent you from receiving tons of junk email to your personal email.
Tip 6:
Create a new folder in your personal email, then create a filter to send all incoming paid email messages to. This way when you check your email, you'll have one folder containing all the emails ready to be confirmed as viewed in one place. View them all, then empty the folder as you do. You can usually do this under mail options, create filters. You'll need to receive an email first, copy the email address, then paste the address in the filter and route it to your new filter.
Tip 7:
If you join multiple programs make a folder in your favorites and put them all in one place. This way you can check each one daily for new offers. Use the same login and password for each to make things faster.
Tip 8:
Be sure to read each offer completely and do what it asks. Some offers will have enter your email, fill out a form and view offers until you reach the end. Some will ask you to click on maybe two offers on the way (just click, not join). Make sure you do, or you won't receive credit. Also, a lot of these types of offers are from the same place so complete a couple, get credit, and if you start to NOT receive credit, it's time to use a different email. Take two minutes to make a new email, complete the offers and get paid again.
Tip 9:
Use the forums! The forums are a great place to learn tricks and tips on how to earn the maximum money from these sites. You can get information from veteran members who have made thousands of dollars through these programs. Most forums will have an earnings category where people post their PayPal statements or pictures of their checks for all to see. You can also ask any questions you may have concerning your account, membership, earnings etc...
Tip 10:
ADVERTISE!! Use your banners. Bring it up on your forums. Put a link on your MySpace, Facebook etc... put a link on your blogs. Make a blog, Make a web page. Tell your friends, family, co-workers etc... Get excited to get them excited. It's quick, easy money. How could you not want it. Even if they join and don't like it, it's FREE. Remember referrals are like social security money. You work really hard to get them then you collect on them while doing nothing!
