Make a Check

Get Paid To - Tips

These tips focus mainly on the survey portions of the Get Paid To sites

There are several different “theories” on how to make your offers confirm faster, or even at all.

Email Address: Make several different email addresses. You can make them easily at http://yahoo.com or http://gmail.com. Alternate using the email addresses with the offers.

Daily Surveys: Designate only ONE email address to fill out Daily Surveys. The company giving the survey will block you from the Daily Surveys once they realize you are using more than one email address.

Check the Forums: I highly suggest signing up for the forums to get to know other members, receive advice, or give suggesting. Check out the threads to see which offers have confirmed for others, that will most likely confirm for you too.

Less is More: Ironically, the less surveys and offers you have stacking up in your pending list, the better your chances they will confirm! You can work on getting referrals while you wait. Click to see the Referral Information page.

Cookies: Delete cookies after every survey or offer. You can do this by going to “Tools” on your browser, then “Options” or “Internet Options”, click the “Cookies” tab, and then press “Clear all cookies”. You have the option of rebooting your computer if you want to. Some people believe this helps the offers confirm as well.

Read Carefully: There are a few offers that will charge you money if you sign up with them. Please read the fine print under the Terms & Conditions to make sure there will be no monthly charge to you.

Keep a Log: Make a list of all the offers you do. Beside each offer, write down the company that is giving the survey, and which email address you signed up with each offer. Doing this, you won’t sign up under the same company more than once a day. They’re not interested in seeing the same people over and over again.

Https: Whenever you are filling out your personal information for any survey or offer, please be aware of the url! Make sure it says https://. Anything without a “s” means that the site is NOT secure and anyone can see your personal information.

Online Voicemail: MOST of the offers and surveys require to enter a phone number. If you dont want them calling you (which they may) sign up for a FREE online voicemail number to use from one of the following sites:

Whether you aim to contribute to your family, finances or earn some money to cover special or unexpected expenses, many people want more ways to earn money at home. Who can blame them. Here are some possibilities:

From freelance to full-time participation, we have a number of fields and resources below for help in finding opportunities that exist. Only you can decide whether the opportunity is right for you.

Virtual Customer-service Agent

Set your own hours and pick an account that’s ideally suited to your knowledge and interests. In addition to having a pleasant voice and strong customer-service skills, you must have high-speed Internet access, a computer, a landline, and a quiet place to work — all of which you pay for on your own.

Expect to make an average of between $8 and $15 an hour depending on your experience, call volume and accounts. Be prepared to work a minimum of 20 hours per week, although some agents work 40 hours to 60 hours when their schedule permits.

Among the companies that hire inbound and outbound agents to explore:

Alpine Access, LiveOps, West, Arise, Working Solutions, Accolade Support, Customer Loyalty Concepts, Sci@Home, Reps for Rent, Overflow, ACD Direct.

Tech & Talk

For experienced information technology professionals  that enjoy problem-solving and quality customer service, you may be able to work from home providing tech support via phone, online and in person to customers nationwide.

As an independent contractor or employee (this varies per company), you’d work from your own home office, set your own hours, and service clients in your area. ComputerAssistant.com, GeeksOnTime.com, PlumChoice.com, SupportFreaks.com are some of the companies to explore

These are just some of the many oppurtunities available for working at home. I will post more in the coming days

Fusion Cash is a program that offers rewards for reading emails and completing offers. The basis of the program is trying out new services for trial periods, usually 30 days.  In return you’ll be paid between $5 and $20 and all you have to do is cancel at the end of the trial period. Compared to the other Get Paid To sites I have tried and reviewed here, Fusion Cash its not that great. It works and they do pay but not as fast or as easy as the others. It is worth signing up for but does take time and alot of the offers are trials.

This works for a while and you can make a bit of extra cash with this method but eventually you run out of available offers.  Also Fusion Cash has a very particular terms of service policy and many complaints and scam accusations stem from people failing to abide by them.

The minimum payment threshold for Fusion Cash is $25, of which 15 has to be in personal not referral earnings.  They have an online payment availability though PayPal which speeds up the process of getting your money.

One thing that you should keep in mind is that if you don’t cash out an offer within 90 days it will expire and you won’t get paid.  Also, when signing up for trial offers read all agreement policies carefully to be sure you know when to cancel in time, also some may have shipping and handling fees so keep your eyes open.

A downside to Fusion Cash is that since the majority of participating advertisers are US based the opportunity is only available to Americans.

TreasureTrooper Review

I first read about Treasure Trooper from a forum that I frequent. I kept reading post from members about all the money that they were making, and how it was similar to ) CashCrate! So, I decided to check out the site for myself and to do a review!

This is what I like about Treasure Trooper! You can join, if you are 13 years of age or older!

They have free trials with payouts ranging anywhere from 5 to 50 dollars! Some are free, some are “free trials” and for some, you have to spend a little bit of money, but these have bigger payouts.

Treasure Trooper has many added incentives such as contests and a shell game where you can win pearls that can be used to trade for referrals.

If you have earned a minimum of 20 dollars by the last day of the month. They will process your payment and send you a check!

There is a tutorial on how to maximize your cookies so that you get credit for your offers and that your offers get approved faster.

Very active forum, where you can visit before doing any offers, and find out which offers are easiest to do, etc!

If you refer people to Treasure Trooper, you will get 20 percent of whatever they make! Also, you will get 5 percent of anybody that they refer.

An Paypal option is available, (for US Verified Paypal Members only).

And lastly the site is very easy to navigate and use!

CashCrate Review

My CashCrate section is by far my largest just because of the simple fact that is best paying and most simple straight forward site. If you only do one, do this one.

Cashcrate is by far the best Get Paid To program I have participated in. Day in and day out I have made a steady income just doing surveys and free offers. I have extensively researched this site throughout the internet and through my own experiences. They pay there members regularly and on time. This site has been around for a long time and is approaching 1 million members, so it is bound to stay and continue being a leader in the Get Paid To Sites category.

How can CashCrate afford to Pay?

Once you learn how it works, then you understand that this site is legit. Companies are looking for consumers to try new products and services. These 3rd party companies pay CashCrate for every member CashCrate refers to their site that tries a product. Cashcrate then passes along most of the earnings to its members. This is how CashCrate month in a month out can afford to pay us to do these easy fast offers and surveys.

Payments are made one you reach the minimum payout of $10. I made more than that my first day of participating. So it is very easy to make the initial payout. They pay by check only and mail it to you monthly.

Can you earn money without referrals?

Another important note is that substantial income can be made without referring a single person. There are over $300 worth of offers on the site along with daily surveys each worth 80 cents that you can complete once a day. This is a guaranteed $24 a month, just with the daily surveys!

CashCrate’s great Referral System:

If you are the referral type CashCrate offers the best in the business. They pay for 2 levels of referrals. Those you directly refer and those that your referrals refer. You start at the bronze level which pays 20% of 1st level referrals and 10% of what your 2nd level referrals earn. I think its important to stress that the 20% and 10% are not deducted from what your referrals own. Thus you make the same regardless of who, if anyone, you were referred by.

As you get more referrals you get a higher % of their earnings:

Bronze - 0 Active Referrals - 20% First Level, 10% Second Level
Silver - 50 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 10% Second Level
Gold - 150 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 15% Second Level
Platinum - 300 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 15% Second Level
Elite - 500 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 20% Second Level

At silver level and above your check is sent the 1st of every month, as opposed to the 15th.

In addition you get a $3 bonus for each referral who makes the minimum payout of $10. Another great incentive not found at any other Get Paid To Site.

NO initial investment

The great thing about this site is there is $0 initial investment so you can’t lose anything! Only gain. I do ask if you sign up for cashcrate to use my link.

Can I join?

Yes, everyone can join! Most of the offers are for US members, but people from any country are welcome to join. The only official requirement is that you are 13 years of age or older.

Exactly how much have you earned? What are the potential earnings?

I have made close to $300 using this great Get Paid To Site. The amazing part is I’ve spent only about 3 hours a week on this site. I can’t urge you enough to try it out for yourself.

You personally can make about $10-15/hr doing surveys and offers. This is without any referrals. And I will show you with the proper FREE software how you can make up to $30/hour using Cashcrate.

I do not look for or trust get rich quick schemes. What I look for are fairly simple ways to just make some extra cash online.

Hopefully this page will help you sign up for and get started making lots of cash at cashcrate! About: CashCrate is a Get Paid To Complete Offers Site. NO Credit Card Needed. 100% Free!

Step by Step Guide:

1. Get a new email address at Gmail
2. Go to CashCrate and sign up
3. You must supply your real information here. They will send you your check to the address given. If you want to sign up for a free voicemail account, try K7, this way you never have to give out your phone number
4. Congrats you can now start earning money!
5. Now you need some software to help you fill out surveys very fast.
1. Roboform: This is used to automatically fill out your own information. The set up is rather easy, just read their website!
2.  CCleaner: CCleaner clears our cookies and other tracking data from your computer. This is important because an offer will not get credited if you’ve already visited the site. Thus using this software will help you get most, if not all, of your offers to confirm!

It is against the terms of cashcrate to use false information. You risk getting banned by using fake information, so the use of real information is best. I get lots of emails, but rarely do I get any snail mail or phone calls. If you get a spam phone call just say “take me off your list” and you will never hear from them again. If you use K7 you never have to worry about calls.

CashCrate: Get Paid To Site Tips For Offers

1. Never do any of the “side” offers during an offer. These are “gold” or “silver” offers that pop up. Most of the time you only need to complete the first few pages of an offer to get credit. A trick that works most of the time is if the URL of the offer changed then you are done. For instance say the offer is from http://www.freeoffers.com/sfsdf but after 3 pages it is now http://www.morestuff.com/t43g then you have completed the offer and can close the window and start a new one. Some offers will not confirm using this strategy, but most will!

2. Hit Alt + to automatically select the “no” radio boxes

3. Some offers will confirm in less than 1 hour, with most confirming overnight.

4.You can increase how many of your offers get confirmed by clearing your cookies with ccleaner EVERY 5 offers. And by using a new email address ever 5 offers. A trick with your new gmail email is, say it is getpaidto@gmail.com then g.etpaidto@gmail.com get.paidto@gmail.com are all valid and look unique to the sites offering the offers! The only time you must use your cashcrate email is during the daily surveys!

5. If you still have trouble getting offers confirmed you can go further into the offer even if the url changes and leave the final page open for 5 minutes.

6. Congrats. Now you can be making $100’s in a matter of hours.

Do you have a lot of pending offers?

Pending offers can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to confirm. Some, for unknown reasons, will never confirm. It seems that the advertisers are getting more strict about confirming offers. I now recommend only doing one offer at a time, clearing your cookies after every few offers, and change emails after every few offers. Also only do about $5 worth of offers at a time, wait for those to confirm, then repeat. Some other tips include leaving the “congrats” page open for a few extra minutes. Also you can always redo offers. This may seem like a pain, but remember it is still free money. I personally have never had this issue. For a lot of the offers where the first page is an email submit, I only do that page - and I always get confirmed.
