SnapDollars

2011-07-30T01:10:00.002-04:00

SnapDollars is another new GPT site with little to offer and a lot to lose.

How do you earn money? Aside from completing offers and getting referrals, you can also watch videos, open e-mails, shop online, and play games.
What is the payout? $30 via check, but at least $15 of that has to come from somewhere other than opening e-mails.
Pros: None that I can see.
Cons: Virtually unknown, a horrific FAQ, the color scheme is a bit annoying, you are constantly bombarded with offers to complete (even when you sign up).
Conclusion: SnapDollars has gotten very bad reviews, and will get one here too. It has little to offer, and most people who have stuck with it have stopped receiving checks they deserve and have run into many errors on the site.

Cash4Offers

2011-07-29T00:38:00.005-04:00

Cash4Offers looks a lot like InboxDollars and is a terrible GPT site that you'll definitely want to stay clear of.

How do you earn money? This shouldn't come as a surprise. Complete offers, take surveys, shop online, open e-mails, get referrals...same old, same old. Keep reading though!
What is the payout? $35 minimum sent via check. The first one takes nearly a month to be sent out once you request it.
Pros: A good looking interface, plus $5 for free when you sign up.
Cons: Not well known, a rip off of InboxDollars, terrible offers (not that many, and only 8 are 100% free.
Conclusion: Don't be fooled by Cash4Offers. The offers on this website can have hidden charges once completed that some people even receive a bill for in the mail weeks later. Cash4Offers is a SCAM and a website I strongly recommend you avoid.

Lion GPT

2011-07-22T01:32:00.003-04:00

Lion GPT is a new and small website that is still trying to set its roots down in the GPT world.

How do you earn money? Complete offers, and get referrals. That's uh, pretty much it. There are contests, but let's be realistic here.
What is the payout? $1 minimum with PayPal
Pros: Low payout, good referral system (100% earnings from level 1 referrals), 50 cents just for signing up, new offers daily
Cons: Not well known, terrible FAQ (the website is really only run by one person), bothersome sponsor ads, can get a bit confusing
Conclusion: Lion GPT has less than 1500 members. On the bright side, 8 of them are online now! Lion GPT has barely paid out $2,000 in its entire lifetime and only has a few options for earning. However, the site is growing and has gotten mostly good reviews. For right now, be cautious with Lion GPT, and be on the lookout for updates in the future.

How do you earn money? Isn't it obvious? Sell your essays! Fill outt all of the information MyEssays requires (type of essay, what course it was for, the grade you got, any sources, etc...), list the price of your essay, and sit back as students view and buy your essays!

Pros: A simple way to earn money that is a good option for students, offers helpful resources for posting and certifying essays, and can be pretty handy if you need to buy a paper yourself!
Cons: Not for everyone, only offers one method of payment.
Conclusion: MyEssays is a quietly popular website for students. I have had thousands of views on each of my essays and all of them have sold at least once. If you've written good work, this is an easy way to make money! Click the banner below if you are interested!!!

myLot

2011-07-17T22:41:00.003-04:00

MyLot isn't generally considered a GPT website, but it still offers the possibility of earning money while taking part in a social, fun experience.

How do you earn money? Participate. MyLot is a website where people can ask and answer questions based on certain interests, which there are many of. By responding to the questions of others, using myLot's search bar, and uploading photos for interests, you can start earning money. MyLot has ratings for every user, so make sure your participation is both constructive and helpful.
What is the payout? $10 minimum through PayPal, which can be increased.
Pros: A very social experience with great people, a way to get answers to any question, extra features like games and quizzes, and the ability to add and promote your blog on their website.
Cons: MyLot only offers PayPal as a payment method, which may not be available to everyone. The website can seem like a lot of work at times, and earning money can be slow at first. They also have very, very crappy referral banners.
Conclusion: Unless you are looking for an earning/social network tandem, myLot is probably not for you. The focus really is not on earning money. For many people, a lot of time on myLot equates to not much money made. However, these people tend to go for an atmosphere that a lot of other sites lack.

Treasure Trooper

2011-07-15T00:50:00.003-04:00

Treasure Trooper is an interesting looking site that is one of the most talked about GPT sites on the web. Let's get right to it:

How do you earn money? Hopefully you're noticing a pattern with these GPT websites. Get paid for completing offers, getting referrals, shopping online...the usual. One thing Treasure Trooper has that other websites don't is the chance to earn special rewards like diamonds, gems, and gold coins that can be redeemed directly for prizes from the site.
What is the payout? Minimum $20 via check or PayPal.
Pros: An overall fun experience, plenty of offers to complete, many proofs of payment, an interesting comic series, and other goodies to be found by exploring the website.
Cons: Between the hidden gems and gold coins that I can apparently redeem for prizes at Mabuto's Trading Hut, I get a bit confused by all the unnecessary fluff that Treasure Trooper has.
Conclusion: I'm not in love with Treasure Trooper, but a lot of people are. Treasure Trooper offers a good way to earn money online with a couple of fun twists. As you can see from the testimonials, sticking with Treasure Trooper definitely pays out.

Points2Shop

2011-07-14T18:54:00.004-04:00

Points2Shop is the sister site of Cashle that is wildly popular and fun to use. One thing to note is that when you sign up for an account on Cashle or Points2Shop, you automatically have an account for the other site as well!

How do you earn money? Basically the same way you can earn with Cashle, except Points2Shop uses a points system and Cashle works with cash (who knew?). Complete free offers, take surveys, shop online, get referrals...the list goes on.
What is the payout? Points2Shop has the same payout options as Cashle also but with one difference. On P2S you can redeem the points you've earned for any item on Amazon! You can find the item by searching right on P2S or by getting the item number from Amazon. In this case, 100 points = $1.
Pros: Multiple earning methods, the ability to cash out and/or get rewards, a Shoutbox to talk to other members, tons of testimonials, and 250 points for FREE when you sign up.
Cons: There aren't any, but personally I don't think Points2Shop looks as nice and clean as Cashle.

Cashle is a sleeper GPT site that has big potential if you're patient with it.

How do you earn money? Just about any way you do with any other website. Complete free offers, take surveys, shop online, try new products, etc. Cashle has all of these things categorized pretty nicely.
What is the payout? Depends, although Cashle has several great methods to offer. $1 minimum with PayPal, $5.50 minimum with check (which has a $0.50 processing fee), $1 minimum using AlertPay, and a $10 minimum if you'd like an Amazon, Best Buy, or GameStop gift card.
Pros: Several easy ways to earn, great payout options, quick connection with just about any social network, a Shoutbox to talk to other members, and $1 for FREE when you sign up.
Cons: If anything, the fact that not many people know about it.
Conclusion: Cashle is one of the most accessible GPT websites I have ever seen. It gives you multiple options in just about every facet, and it has paid out millions of dollars in the US. I definitely recommend signing up by clicking the banner below and taking Cashle for a swing!

Swag Bucks

2011-07-09T12:24:00.003-04:00

Swag Bucks is GPT site with plenty of features that is becoming increasingly more popular.

How do you earn money? Well there are a lot of ways to earn, but you will be earning swag bucks, not real bucks. Earn from using their search engine, completing surveys/offers, getting referrals, watching videos, playing games...the possibilities can be endless.
What is the payout? You redeem your swag bucks for rewards in the swag store. These rewards include electronics, video games, sports cards, gift cards, and a long list of other prizes. As soon as you have enough swag bucks for what you want, you can go ahead and redeem.
Pros: A ridiculous amount of ways to earn, a nice interface with a good blog, pretty good rewards, and you earn 30 swag bucks for FREE when you sign up.
Cons: Searching to earn swag bucks can be tedious, because you almost never earn from the first search and if your searches aren't legitimate, you won't earn at all. The website has gotten more cluttered as they have tried to branch out, and the costs for all of the rewards went up recently.
Conclusion: Swag Bucks has a ton of perks, but in my opinion it has lost a lot of its steam. Trying to keep up with the times has made Swag Bucks a bit messy, and a lot of user experiences with the website are short lived. This keeps Swag Bucks from really being one of the big boy GPT sites.

Donkey Mails

2011-07-08T01:16:00.001-04:00

Donkey Mails is an interesting website where you can get paid to open e-mails.

How do you earn money? Well, you get paid to open e-mails and click on ads, and there is a five level referral system. Anything other than that isn't advertised much.
What is the payout? $1 minimum via PayPal and Alertpay.
Pros: Simple to earn since it is paid to click (PTC), a good referral system, and one of the lowest payouts I've seen for any sight.
Cons: Where do I even start? The website itself is pretty poorly designed, covered with sponsors and information that isn't helpful. The pay per click for e-mails is extremely low at 0.25 cents (that's 1/4 of a penny!) There is a lot of information about being able to buy advertisements to gain referrals, but the entire thing seems confusing and pointless.
Conclusion: I have no love for Donkey Mails. Although some people can stick with it and say it is a good way to earn slowly, to me it appears to be a pointless endeavor. I was a member for about 4 days and then I deleted my account. That bad.

Bing Rewards

2011-06-26T00:15:00.006-04:00

Bing Rewards is Microsoft's attempt to attract users to their search engine, Bing, by essentially offering a GPT system.

How do you earn money? You don't earn money, but instead points based on doing certain tasks that pertain to Bing. These tasks really only include searches, which to my knowledge are limited to 3 per day (searches that will earn points, that is).
What is the payout? Payout comes in the form of redeeming points for rewards. Bing Rewards has a pretty good selection, with everything from electronics to gift cards to Microsoft gear. Once you reach the amount of points for an item, you can redeem your points for said item.
Pros: Not many. The search engine looks nice, and you get 250 points just for signing up, as well as the wide variety of rewards.
Cons: Many. The tasks for earning are few and far between, and you have to wait until Bing puts up new ones. The Bing Toolbar that helps keep track of all this only works on Internet Explorer for now, so most people would be using an internet browser and/or search engine they don't even like or normally use.
Conclusion: I do not recommend Bing Rewards. It has little to offer and unless you are extremely patient, is a waste of time.

Keynote

2011-06-18T02:13:00.006-04:00

Keynote is a GPT website where you get paid to take surveys. It is free, it is safe, and it is legitimate.

How do you earn money? Keynote sends you e-mails when they have a survey available. All you have to do is take the survey, which usually takes about 45 minutes or so. Surveys primarily consist of using websites and search engines for everyday activities such as finding a restaurant or directions, and then reviewing your experience.
What is the payout? After completing a survey and having it verified, Keynote will send you a $10 Amazon gift card in a week or less.
Pros: The idea is simple, and completing a survey basically ensures you get the Amazon gift card.
Cons: You have to wait for Keynote to e-mail you, for one thing. I used to use Keynote, but after a while I stopped qualifying for surveys, either that or they filled up too quickly. The reward is only limited to the Amazon gift card, and you have to download software to use Keynote, although it is free and harmless.
Conclusion: Keynote is a website I'm on the fence about. It is great for Amazon gift cards, but they don't come often, surveys can get long and boring if you even qualify, and the experience itself is pretty dull.

Ebates is an easy website to use for the everyday online shopper

How do you earn money? Earn money through cash back by shopping online. Simply open a store's website through eBates and proceed as you normally would. You can also earn from referrals.
What is the payout? $5 minimum, which I believe can be sent via check or directly to PayPal.
Pros: Simple and fast, as well as a ton of online retailers that offer cash back. You even get a FREE $10 gift card just for signing up!!!
Cons: Money can add up slowly with only about 2-5% cash back coming in. It may be slightly inconvenient, and some retailers are not listed on eBates.
Conclusion: Ebates is a website to look into if you are a bit lazy and/or do some serious online shopping. If you spend big, you can earn big! Click the banner below if you want to check out eBates.

Bukisa

2011-06-12T12:15:00.006-04:00

Bukisa is a website that has the same concepts as Associated Content with just a few tweaks.

How do you earn money? Earn money by getting views on articles you've written (minimum 350 words). You can also earn money through referrals and placing ads on your articles using either Google AdSense or Chitika.
What is the payout? $10 minimum sent via PayPal. This minimum can be increased.
Pros: A nice looking website where you can simply place articles and leave them to do the rest of the work. You can even post articles you have previously published, as long as you clear it with Bukisa. Earning through ads is also nice, and the interface makes for a very social outing as well. There are tons of tools to track your progress, promote, and read other people's articles.
Cons: Writing the articles themselves can test one's patience, but it really isn't that bad. Some articles may not get any views if they are not relevant and therefore won't earn much money.
Conclusion: Bukisa is enjoyable for both money earning and socializing. If you love writing and have a lot of people following what you write, why not earn some cash for it by posting it on Bukisa? If you're interested, click the banner below or the one on the right side of my blog!

Associated Content

2011-06-03T01:09:00.007-04:00

Associated Content (also known as Yahoo! Contributor Network) is an incredible website where you can get paid for the things you write!

How do you earn money? I just told you! Write articles that are at least 250 words and your own work and submit them on Associated Content. These articles earn money based on their popularity and the number of views they get.
What is the payout? Associated Content pays out once every month to PayPal, no matter how much (or how little) money you've earned.
Pros: Simply write articles, post them to AC, and leave them to make money for you. AC also offers good tools to track your performance, and may even pay you more (called an Upfront Payment) ahead of time for an article they believe will be popular.
Cons: There is no earning for ads, and articles that aren't very popular will only make you pennies if even. One little thing is that once you post an article on Associated Content, it is there forever.
Conclusion: Associated Content is a good website for writers, but with few features and limited ways to earn, it falls short of being up there with other big name GPT's. If you are interested, you can click the banner below or on the right side of my blog.

Tips for Selling on eBay

2011-05-27T22:13:00.007-04:00

In my last blog post, I introduced you to the famous website eBay, a place to buy and sell just about anything you could think of. My main focus was the 'making money' aspect of this website, and now I want to get deeper in this subject. Chances are, if what you are selling is in good working condition, someone out there is going to want it. The only problem is getting eBayers to view and hopefully bid on your items. Because of this, I've listed several helpful tips and things to consider when posting items for sale or auction on eBay:

1. A good picture: Most likely, this is going to be the first thing someone looks at. When I look to buy items on eBay, that's certainly the case for me. There are several paths you can take with the picture. Some people like to use stock photos provided by eBay or found online. These stock photos are professionally photographed and look great. These are good for showing the 'ideal' state of your product, but may turn some buyers away because it isn't a picture of the REAL product. Which is the other option: take a picture of the real thing. This is good because it allows potential buyers to see the actual item, but may turn out to hurt you if the photo is bad quality. To avoid this, don't take crappy photos! Judge the quality of your photos on whether or not you would show interest in a product just from seeing the photo. I tend to prefer a balance of stock photos and my own, personally edited photos.

2. An attention grabbing title: What's that right next to your picture? It's the title! This may truly be what a buyer uses to decide if they want to click on your item or not. Be sure to make your title sensible and descriptive. Viewers should be able to get a basic sense of your product through the title. Although there is a character limit, it is manageable. Don't be bland, and don't write things like 'VERY CHEAP!!!!'. From a buyers standpoint if the price is, maybe the item itself is also. It's best to try and include the name/brand of the product, its condition, its color, and any other keywords that may bring it up on a search.

3. Consider timing: This is something not many people think of, but it can be a huge difference maker. When you post your item and when the auction closes makes for variation in the people who will view your products. Let's face it, if you're up posting items on eBay at 4 am, when closing time comes no one will even know. Most people agree that it is best to post an item for sale at about 10 pm eBay time. This way, everyone gets a good chance to view it. Another thing to take into consideration is when you ship. Sometimes it may be best to post an item in the afternoon so if the buyer pays instantly, you can ship ASAP and get some positive feedback.

4. A descriptive description: Probably something that doesn't need to be said. Your description has no limit on how much you can write and how you can make it look. Don't get lazy!!! Write the truth about your product, but try to sell it at the same time. If you have to lie about an item you probably shouldn't be selling it in the first place. Moreover, buyers will always have questions to ask but it is your job to make sure you give a clear, concise description of what you are selling so there is no confusion. Don't be vapid while writing your item description, but then again, don't make it neon green with animations and graphics either. As a frequent eBay user, I like seeing a right to the point description, not flashing lights and music.

5. State your conditions: This is where buyers tend to get iffy on whether or not they want to work with you. When someone sees an item they like, a lot of questions tend to come up because they want to be sure the entire transaction will be smooth and problem free. Clearly state things such as preferred payment methods, refunds, return guidelines, and anything else you might take into consideration if you were buying the product. When a customer sees all of these stated right there, it erases a lot of the doubt from their mind.

Head over to www.eBay.com and put these tips into action! You'll be amazed at how much better your products look and who knows, it might just up the price a bit!!!

eBay

2011-05-27T22:01:00.006-04:00

Ebay is one of the most popular websites in general, not to mention one of the most popular ways to make money online.

How do you earn money? You sell things! Pretty, ugly, used, new, you can sell just about anything on eBay (except counterfeits, sorry). You can sell items at a set price, or hold an auction for a certain amount of time.
What is the payout? However much you make on sales! Payments are sent to PayPal, so you need a PayPal account if you want to use eBay. PayPal is also used for many other online websites (free to sign-up).
Pros: It is pretty easy to sell things, and you'd be surprised at how much you can make for some items. It even helps/encourages you to do a bit of cleaning! You can also buy items on eBay and not clean!
Cons: If anything, it may be difficult to get some items to sell. Also, eBay subtracts fees from every purchase but hey, they have to make money somehow.
Conclusion: Ebay is an amazing website, period. I don't even have much to sell and yet I have made thousands with eBay. So get out from under your rock, and sign-up today!

MyPoints

2011-05-22T01:14:00.004-04:00

MyPoints is a get paid to (GPT) website that is reliable and efficient.

How do you earn money? MyPoints uses a points system rather than actually money, but still has many ways to earn. This includes opening e-mails, taking surveys, shopping online, using coupons, and getting referrals.
What is the payout? You can redeem your points for any one of a wide selection of gift cards. I believe they start at 1,500 points, but this actually accumulates very fast. Some popular gift cards includes Target, Amazon, and Walmart.
Pros: A simple website with a plethora of ways to earn. MyPoints even gives out points for answering quick questions on their website, and has some fun and interesting offers to share. MyPoints also has a ton of gift cards to choose from.
Cons: The only real problem I can think of is that some of the offers and the entire process can be a bit repetitive.
Conclusion: MyPoints was one of the first websites I used to earn money online, and I have stuck with it. It really works, and gift cards are always helpful!

First things first, I wanted to say welcome, and thank you very much for coming to my blog! I created this blog in order to help people do what I do, and that's earn money online. When I first started trying to earn money online, I found that there were so many options and I had no idea where to start. As I've gained more experience, I have gotten better at separating the fake websites from the real ones. What I hope to do with this blog is share some websites that I have used and some that I haven't that are legitimate ways to earn money online. All the websites I use are free, so that's all I'll be sharing. I'll also post information about different types of earning websites as well as advice on how to maximize your profits. However, this doesn't have to be all about me! If you have any questions, comments, or even a website that you've had success with, don't hesitate to post them! I'll definitely respond to any questions and even look into websites that other people recommend. Finally, feel free to rate the websites I share with the buttons at the bottom of each of my blog posts. I hope everyone can get something helpful (hopefully cash!) out of this blog. HAPPY EARNINGS!!!
