How to Earn $100 With CashCrate

I am going to show you step-by-step how you can easily make $100 from CashCrate in a month with less than an hour a days work.  This can all be done while sitting on the couch watching TV or while killing time at work.  Best of all you can do this without spending a dime with just a few clicks of the mouse.

The first step to success is just signing up!  Follow my link to CashCrate and enter your email address and password.  Then activate your account by clicking the link in the email sent to you.  You have just earned $1.  It is that simple!

Now that you are signed up take a few minutes to explore CashCrate.  If you would like an overview on the different ways to earn money check out the HowTo section and watch the tutorial.  You will notice there are five main ways to earn money with this site; Offers, Surveys, Videos, Shopping, Referrals.  We will be focusing on the first three on our way to $100 in the first month with CashCrate.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Step 1

CashCrate pays a bonus $0.03 each day you check-in to the site.  Simple log-in and click on the green CHECK-IN button and click the ad to be credited.  Note you do not have to complete any offers.  If you do this every day of the month you will earn an extra $0.50.  In a 30 day month that comes out to $0.90+$0.50=$1.40.  With your $1 sign-up we are now up to $2.40 and we are just getting started.

Step 2

 Download the CashCrate Toolbar

You can complete 10 paid searches a day or 300 in a month.  At $0.50 for 25 searches you can make an extra $6.00 a month just by using the internet. CashCrate tracks your results so make sure you are making legit searches and not just randomly typing in letters to meet the requirements. 

Step 3

CashCrate offers daily surveys that pay from $0.50-$0.80.  The number of surveys you have available depends on your region of the country but usually range from 5-8.  I have 8 to choose from that pay a total of $5.70 if all were competed.  These surveys typically take 10-20 minutes to complete.  Make sure you qualify and get to the 'Thank You' or 'Congratulations' type screen to receive credit.  Complete two surveys a day, taking about 30 mins, for an average of $1.50 times 30 days = $45.  Remember if you were able to complete all 8 surveys for 30 days your total would be $171.

Step 4

Now it is time to complete a few offers.  We will start with the 100% Free offers and work from there.  I recommend setting up another email account for the spam emails you will receive from joining different programs.  You can do this for free at many sites like gmail, yahoo, or hotmail.  Below are a list of offers that approved for me nearly instantly that only took 30-60 seconds to sign up for.  Most only need an email address but a few others ask for additional information like your name and address.

MyDailyMoment.com	$0.20
Ice Cream Sundae	$0.25
Trip Advisor	$0.10
Heartburn Relief	$0.45
Free Grocery Coupons	$0.30
Better Homes and Garden	$0.25
CoolSavings	$0.30
CheapFlights.com	$0.05
Welch's Fruit Snack Samples	$0.40
Free Lotto	$0.20
Daily Jokes	$0.15
Spring Samples	$0.50
CheapFlights.com	$0.04
Jokes Post	$0.15
Tide Sample	$0.40
Free Samples	$0.40
Badoo	$0.40
Movie Extras	$0.30

Offers like this are constantly being added so you shouldn't run out any time soon.  To insure confirmation it is recommended that you clear your cookies before each offer.  Spend five minutes and complete an average of $0.50 a day for a total of $15.00 a month.

Step 5

Join survey sites that are still 100% free.  Simple register for a membership, confirm your email, and complete one survey.  Many times this can merely be the introduction survey that just involves filling basic information about yourself.  These surveys pay $0.50-$2.00 dollars.  Complete the following for an additional $12.50.


            $2.00                          $0.75                            $0.75                            $0.75  

MindsPay  $1.00

Reward TV  $1.00

Harris Poll Online  $1.00

Global Test Market  $0.75

Opinion Outpost  $0.50

MyView  $0.50

Other Simple Free Offers to Join

Mint.com  $1.50

UPromise  $1.00

Avis  $1.00

Join these sites all at once or spread them out through out the month.  They only take minutes to join and fulfill the requirements.

Step 6

Trial offers are a great way to earn cash in a hurry.  You get paid to sample products or try services you may have already been interested in anyway.  If you notice these offers have a red dollar sign icon next to them which indicates a credit card is required to complete the offer.  Don't be scared off by this.  These offers have a much higher payout and almost always cover your initial fee.  For many if you cancel within the allotted time allowed you will not be charged at all. Below are a list of offers and an explanation of how you profit from them. 

Netflix - Sign up for Netflix for a 30 day trial period.  As long as you cancel within that time you will not be charged at all.  Total payout: $6.00

Profinity Credit Score - Sign up for a 30 day trial and get unlimited access to your credit score.  Cancel within the time limit and you will not be charged. Total payout: $13.00

Bonus Offers - These offers cost to join

Blockbuster - Sign up for the cheapest plan at $4.99/month and cancel before the next months charge.  Total payout: $7.50-$4.99 = $2.51

GameFly - Sign up for the cheapest plan at $5.95/month and cancel before the next months charge.  Total payout: $7.00-$5.95 = $1.05.  This might work for the one month free trial as well but I'm not sure on that.

GreatFun - Enroll for only $1.00 for the first month and get great deals on movie tickets, restuarants and shopping.  Cancel within the first month and you will not be charged again.  Total payout: $12.00-$1.00 = $11.00

Final Total

Step 1 - $1.00 sign-up + $1.40 check-in = $2.40
Step 2 - CashCrate Toolbar + Search = $7.00
Step 3 - Two surveys a day = $45.00 (Up to $171)
Step 4 - Small offers only needing email address = $15.00 (Unlimited potential)
Step 5 - Survey/Membership sites = $12.50 (Unlimited potential)
Step 6 - Netflix & Profinity Trial Offers = $19.00 (Bonus offers add $14.56)

GRAND TOTAL = $100.90

This is by far the best PTC site I have come across because of the simplicity of it. The basis is you get paid 2 cents to click/open an advertisement. You need to keep the ad open for maybe 30 seconds to get credit but the beauty here is you can open all the ads at once. Just open each ad in a new tab and “view” them all at the same time. Takes just a few clicks of the mouse! I average about 15 ads a day which translates to 30 cents a day. Doesn’t sound like much, and it’s not, but for less than a minutes work I’ll take it! Sell a few friends/referrals on this easy idea and make 1 cent for every ad they view as well! With a strong referral base this may be the easiest way to earn money online without spending much time.

PRO
Can open all ads at once and do not need to be on the page to view ads.
Pays 2 cents an ad which is better than most other PTC sites
Only takes 1-2 minutes a day

CON
Only get a few ads a day (between 5-15)
Cashout is $25

Clixsense

Click Here To Join

This program has been online since 2007 and is a mix of both PTC and GPT sites. It is a little harder to earn money quickly with Clixsense because they make you actually have to view the advertisements you click on. Meaning to get credit you have to view the ad, click on the picture of a cat, and stay on the site for 3-30 seconds. Time and compensation vary per advertisement. If you leave the ad for any reason the clock stops and will not continue until the ad is the only thing in view.

Clixsense also has other ways to earn money including, surveys, tasks, offers and web searches. They also provide ‘ClixGrid’ which gives you 25 opportunities a day to win some extra money. Very trustworthy site which pays on time and has its own forum where members show their proofs of payment. If interested Clixsense also lets you advertise your own website or product with them for a price.  Earnings can be used to upgrade your membership. This is one of the oldest and most trustworthy sites around.  

PRO
Highly rated site by active members
Members forum
ClixGrid - game that gives you extra chances to win money
Surveys

CON
Have to stay on page when viewing ads

Very reliable PTC site that pays almost instantly with a very low payout point of $1.  You can upgrade three levels for as little $3 a month or $19.95 a year.  This has been one of my all time favorite sites so far!

Dollar-Cents

Click Here To Join

This program is relatively new to the scene so there are not many reviews. Dollar-Cents is an advertising site and not for profit.  You click to earn money for advertising and generating unique hits to your site.  The upside to this site from the others is a higher per click value on the ads. You can only open one ad at a time but you do not have to stay on the page while the timer runs. To earn credit simple match the numbers that appear. In addition, Dollar-Cents also offers a traffic exchange program.

PRO
Higher per click value on ads
Do not have to view ads while timer runs

CON
Advertising and not for profit site.


Top 10 Best Ways to Earn Money Online: For Beginners 
 

Take the CashCrate Challenge!!!

Since I have been an advocate of this site, and sites like it, for so long I decided to offer the CashCrate Challenge.  As a bonus to the already numerous benefits I will personally reward participants $2 for anyone who reaches the $20 mark and receives their first check from CashCrate!  To me the hardest part of the program is that first $20 milestone.  When you do not fully understand how the offers, surveys and other earning tasks work it is easy to just throw in the towel.  You start to think this is a scam or a waste of time and that nobody can make money this way.  Well I am here, along with over 2 million members worldwide, to tell you that is not the case!  CashCrate has been around since 2006 and sends out thousands of dollars each month to members.  For more proof check out the Payment Wall or visit the Forum and talk to other CashCrate members about their experiences with the program.  

To qualify for CashCrate Challenge

You must first sign up under my referral link HERE.  Once signed up please send me a message stating you are interested in taking the challenge.  To send me an email click on the mailbox icon in the right hand corner of the CashCrate page.  In your inbox you should have a “Welcome to CashCrate” email from me.  Simply reply to that with your PayPal account or address where you want the check sent and start earning!  

Ways to Earn

Offers – Complete offers ranging from $0.05-$40.00.  Many of these involve signing up for online subscriptions to things so I would recommend setting up another email to avoid spam filling up your personal email account.  You can get a free account with Gmail here.  This is my favorite way to earn money since they are quick and easy.  When filling out similar offers clearing the cookies on your computer is recommended, before each one, for a higher approval chance.  

Offers that have recently approved for me. 

• Free Lotto $0.20 confirmed May 1, 2012
• Daily Jokes $0.15 confirmed May 1, 2012
• Spring Samples $0.50 confirmed May 1, 2012
• iPhone 5 $0.50 confirmed May 1, 2012
• $1000 T.J. Maxx Gift Card $0.50 confirmed May 1, 2012
• Better Homes and Garden $0.25 confirmed May 1, 2012
• CoolSavings $0.30 confirmed May 1, 2012
• CheapFlights.com $0.05 confirmed May 1, 2012
• Welch's Fruit Snack Samples $0.40 confirmed May 1, 2012

Surveys – Daily surveys are a great way to constantly rack up income.  Right now I have 7 available surveys to me ranging from $0.50-$0.80. All surveys may not allow you to qualify but a high percentage will.

Videos – Get paid to watch videos which typically pay $0.02 each.  To be credited you must find the two numbers that will scroll across your screen and enter them in at the end of the video.

Referrals – Sign up friends and family under your link and let them share in the earning potential you have found with CashCrate!  

Recap

So not only will you get a check from CashCrate (the following month) for whatever you earn, I will also send you $2 by PayPal or mail for completing the CashCrate Challenge.  After you have completed the CashCrate Challenge earning should be easy!  So enjoy a steady monthly income and GOOD LUCK!

Promoting Your Site

Promoting your site is the most important thing for any successful business.  In the world of Get-Paid-To and Point-To-Click sites it is the best way to make serious money.  This page offers great FREE sites that will promote your blog/webpage and generate traffic to your site.  Some even offer compensation for your time and effort.  Join today and see the differences promoting can have on your referrals.
_______________________________________________________________________________

EasyHits4U

With this service you get hits to your site by surfing other sites.  The ratio is 1:1 which means for every site you surf you get one hit to your website.  You only have to search each site for 20 secs at which time you will be credited one point and be able to move onto the next site.  There are even bonuses for every 25 sites you view.  You can have up to 15 sites per account so you can add your blog, website, YouTube video or even a directly link to your referral link.

EasyHits4U has a great referral system where you can build up even more hits to your sites and earn cash.  There is a five level system where you earn free credits set up like this:

• 10% of credits earned by your 1st level referrals
• 5% of credits - 2nd level
• 3% - 3rd level
• 2% - 4th level
• 1% - 5th level

Ways to earn cash - Get paid $0.10 for every person you refer that surfs 100 or more sites!
Also, earn up to 40% commission from all purchases of website building tools offered

Hit2Hit
Same idea here with a 2:1 but the timer to view each site is only 6 seconds.  You can add multiple sites and assign a percentage for the amount of credit you want each one to receive. 

TrafficG & WebMasterQuest
Two other sites to consider.  You can never be involved with too many traffic generating programs.  They all give your site excellent exposure and are FREE to join.  How can you go wrong with that?  If for some reason you are not getting the results you thought envisioned then just stop using them.  It is that simple!
 
Linkreferral 
By Joining, you will be included in a members directory and have the opportunity to earn a ranking at the top of your category.  The more you participate in reviewing sites, networking with peers, and giving your opinion on other websites, the more you get in return.  Having your webpage listed will also improve search engine rankings and SEO optimization and major search engines.  Linkreferral also has a forum that lets you actively share links with each post. 

TargetRefs
Earn points by signing up for programs under others referral link.  Use those points to "hire" your own referrals and set whatever requirements you want.  For example, applicants have to sign up under your referral link and be an active participant for five days or click 50 paid advertisements.  This is a great way to get guaranteed referrals to your programs.  TargetRefs also has an excellent referral program where you get 10% of your referrals earnings and 5% for the next four levels of referrals. 

FreeViral
We have all heard of videos going viral, one friend tells another friend who tells another and another and so on.  Well this is the same idea.  Basically to register you have to watch six ads of other users programs.  Then you get a referral link and it is your turn to promote it.  When some buddy wants to sign up through your link they will have to view your website before they can register.  This is a six tier process so anyone that signs up under your referral, and their referral and so on, will also have to view your website.  This can be a slow process but by the time your classified ad reaches the 6th spot you will have noticed an amazing amount of free traffic. 
_______________________________________________________________________________

To sum up, like I said before you can never belong to too many traffic generating or link building sites.  This is the fastest way to build up awareness and bring unique hits to your webpage.  It takes very little effort and cost your nothing but time.  I was only getting 20 hits a day before I started using these services and within two days I was well into the 100s!  You can join them all and surf simultaneously to rapidly increase your hits per day.

This has been my favorite site so far!  CashCrate is one of the most popular sites around and has received excellent reviews.  The site is very easy to use with the ways to earn cash simply laid out.  They have a wonderful HowTo section to get you started and best of all an interactive forum and chat room to discuss any topics on your mind.  CashCrate also offers monthly contests and more.  They have a two level referral program that pays 20% from 1^st level referrals and 10% from 2^nd level referrals.  A low cash out rate of $20 allows you to easily earn monthly checks.  Only downfall is they only pay by check.

2 Treasure Trooper - $1 SIGN UP BONUS + ITEMS!

Click Here to Join

Treasure Trooper is quickly moving up the charts on my list because of its unique interactive experience.  It is unlike any other GPT site with its extra features and bonus earning opportunities.  You can earn both cash and items doing the normal tasks; completing offers, task, surveys and searching the web.  These items are used as currency and can be traded in for special prizes or other items needed in your quests.  My favorite feature is that you can actually trade in pearls for the next two unclaimed referrals that join the site!  Quests include a treasure hunt where you can earn an extra 100 dollars and the ability to raise and train a dragon which you can fight or sell off when it matures into adulthood.  Finally a fun site to spice up the monotonous daily tasks associated with most GPT platforms. 

3 FusionCash - $5 sign up bonus
Click Here to Join
This site has one of the most profitable referral programs around.  You can start making money right away by just signing up others.  The system is very simple and pays out in three ways.

• Refer a friend who confirms his/her email address: $1 bonus
• Your friend completes his/her first offer: $2 bonus
• Your friend cashes out: $5 bonus (each and every time they cashout - for life

There are many other ways to earn in which you do not even have to enter any personal information.  Not even an email address.  These ways include reading paid emails for 2 cents each, watching videos for 1-2 cents each, and clicking ads for 15 cents a day.  With just minutes and no personal information you can make 15-20 cents a day.  The search toolbar also pays up to 5 cents a day for another free way to earn.  Offers are easy to complete and credit instantly.
Payout goal is $25 and $15 of that has to be made through offers before payment will be sent.  The ways mentioned above all count as offers.  Once you get started you will see just how easy it is to earn cash quickly!

4 InboxDollars - $5 SIGN UP BONUS!
Click Here to Join
This site ranked high with me because of the paid emails system.  You receive a few emails a day and earned cash just for clicking the link.  There is no time limit to be on the advertised site.  You could just click the link and close the tab.  It’s that simple!  You also receive 5-6 paid survey invitations each week with the incentives ranging from $0.25 to $7.50.  To date over $10 million has been paid out to members.
Other ways to earn from InboxDollars include performing simples task like labeling various products, sorting online content and researching answers on the web.  Also take advantage of the discount shopping offered at great stores and an abundance of grocery coupons.

5 SendEarnings - $5 SIGN UP BONUS!

This is a very similar layout to InboxDollars and offers the same great incentives.  Don’t forget to refer your friends and receive 10% of their qualified earnings.  Biggest downfall is the minimum cash out of $30.

6 MyPoints

Click Here to Join

By far the top site to belong to if you are an avid online shopper.  MyPoints has the largest list of top retailers I have found offering incentives to shop.  Simply sign into MyPoints, click the link of the store you want to shop, and you will be redirected to that stores website.  One extra step to shop can earn you some great savings!  You can also find many other great local deals and online coupons.  Accumulate Points and redeem them for gift cards and PayPal rewards.  The major down fall is the referral program.  The only way to gain referrals is though an email invitation.

7 SwagBucks – 30 swagbucks
Click Here to Join
I just started using this service.  The way you earn SwagBucks is to search the web as you normally would do using SwagBucks.com search engine.  You will get results from Google.com and Ask.com.  Periodically you will be awarded up to 5 SwagBucks for a single search but not all searches pay out rewards. On Fridays you can win up to 100 SwagBucks with a single search.   Periodically there will be promotional SwagCodes hidden throughout the site you can find and redeem to add to your total.  SwagBucks can be redeemed for Amazon & Walmart gift cards, PayPal cash and other prizes.

Affiliated marketing is a revenue sharing plan where you promote someone else’s product, service or site and earn a commission on the sale.  In another words, you as the publisher earns a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to another site where they then buy something.  This market can be quite lucrative but don’t be fooled it is not as easy as it sounds.  Lots of factors go into being successful including; traffic, finding relevant products, finding quality products, trust with your readers, and conveying the value and importance of the product to your readers.

5) Sell Merchandise Online
This is a great way to get rid of things around your house that you no longer use.  I bet if you look around from where you are sitting now you will see a few things you would consider selling online.  Two very popular websites are eBay and Craigslist.  So start your spring cleaning and clear out those boxes in the garage or attic and start selling!
With eBay you can easily hit a wide audience not only across the country but across the world if you so choose.  From my experience I have found eBayers are more likely to pay more for merchandise then on Craigslist.  Just remember you have to factor in shipping and handling and the effort it takes to process and mail off everything.  With Craigslist you are hitting a much smaller geographic area selling locally.  The benefit to this is that the buyer will most likely come to you to pick up the merchandise.

6) Surveys
There are many different marketing companies and websites that will pay users to answer questions on a variety of topics.  What’s better than getting rewarded for giving your honest opinion?  Let companies know what you think and be the first to try new products.
Surveys are really a cost-effective way for large corporations to learn how consumers feel about their products, and at the same time they can introduce people to products that they might not have thought of using.
There are a ton of these sites so just be careful in finding a legitimate survey website.  Remember you should never pay to join.

7) Gigs
Get paid to show off your special skills and perform gigs on Fiverr.  Find something you can do, the more unique the better, and set up a gig on Fiverr.  You will earn $5 every time someone orders that gig and you complete the task for them.  This is an easy way to make money using your individual talents.

8) Writing

10) Data Entry
Data entry is the act of transcribing some form of data into another form, usually a computer program.  It involves a lot of typing and filling out spreadsheets.  Many times you will be pulling information off websites and putting them into a readable format.  Be careful here because there are a lot of scams around involving data entry but if you can find a legit one this can be a profitable career.

Promoting Your Site

MyPoints - Best Shopping Site

MyPoints is another rewards incentive program that is absolutely free of charge.  Instead of earning cash for shopping, reading emails, completing surveys and other various activities, you earn Points.  These Points can then be redeemed for gift cards to many of your favorite restaurants, department stores, clothing stores, and hotels.  Stores include CVS, Macy's, Gap, Papa Johns, Red Lobster, Outback, Shell, Safeway, Target and many many more.  You can even trade in your points for Paypal cash!

From all the sites I've looked at MyPoints has teamed up with the best merchants by far!  They definitely work with many stores you frequently shop at, both online and in stores.  The great thing about using MyPoints is that sign up and membership is free and it doesn't cost you anything to start earning.  Say you want to book a hotel at the Holiday Inn.  Just sign into MyPoints click on the link that takes you directly to the Holiday Inn website and book your hotel like normal.  Just for going through the MyPoints site you earn five Points for every dollar you spend.  It's that simple!  Same goes for all the merchants so instead of just signing directly into the stores you want to shop take a second and get to the website through MyPoints and be rewarded for something you were already going to purchase. 

If that wasn't enough there is also a DEALS section where you can print off grocery store coupons that reward you 10 Points for every Coupons.com coupon you print and redeem.  Plus, earn 25 Points when you print and redeem 10 coupons in a month.  And don't stop there!  You can also find deals on stores throughout the site and  local deals near your city.  If you don't want to spend any money under this section there is a Free Trials page that gives great offers such as Netflix, GameFly, different book stores, and other offers. 

My favorite way to accumulate Points is through the emails.  For every email you open you get 5 points.  You do not have to spend a lot of time reading the deal and you do not need to complete any offers.  You just have to click on the link that says "give me my 5 Points" and wait for the page to open.  MyPoints sends a good amount of emails each day so you can really rack up Points fast!  They also send emails offering to participate in surveys.  But unlike other sites you get rewarded whether you participate in the survey or not.  You will receive 10 Points just for trying to participate and 50 Points if you complete the entire survey.

In conclusion, in my opinion, MyPoints is the safest, easiest way to earn Points for gift cards without spending money or to be rewarded for shopping at stores you are already spending money at.  They have the largest selection of top stores I have yet to find.  It is fun and easy to use and you will never be bothered by third party advertisements.  So go ahead and send your mom flowers!  FTD gives 20 Points per dollar spent!

CashCrate is NOT a scam!

Over the last year I have looked at 100s of ways to work from home and/or make money online.  I have tried tons of incentive freebie websites (IFWs), paid opinion/surveys sites, product trials and even secrete shopper sites.  Each one left me more frustrated then the last!  They all seem to spin you in circles being a never ending pit to dump useless information in.  I would fill out form after form to get to the end just to hear something was missing or I needed to add more info I didn't want to give out.  Hours were wasted with very little money to show for it and a TON of spam emails in my inbox!

Finally I found CashCrate.  A site that is simple to use and gives you the freedom to do as much or as little as you want to earn money.  The surveys are quick and easy, the details of the offers are explained upfront, you get paid for shopping stores you actually heard of and best of all money is credited almost instantly! The site has a "My Earnings" page which shows you the status of all the offers you have submitted.  It shows if they are pending, confirmed or paid.  Best of all you'll receive a check each month without having to cash out! 

I started a few days ago and already made 38.01 by the end of March and now April 2nd I've made $13.02.  It may not be a get rich quick scheme but it is definitely NOT a scam!  I highly recommending giving  CashCrate a shot.  Even if you don't like the site it wont cost you a thing and you even might make a few dollars.  What they have that points them over the top of other sites is the monthly contests.  The top 30 earners are giving cash prizes along with what they already racked up.

Best Paid Sites: Inboxdollars and Sendearnings

Two of my favorite sites to earn money online are InboxDollars and SendEarnings
 

These sites are almost identical in style, what they offer, and payout programs.  Both are free to join with an incentive of a $5 signup bonus and there are no further charges to maintain membership.  So it costs nothing AND they pay you money to join... what are you waiting for?!  Go sign up!

There are multiple ways to make money with these sites:

PAID EMAILS - You will earn 2-5 cents for each email you process.  Basically all that means is you click on a link in your email.  You do not have to read or complete any offers or give any information.  It takes seconds and credits your account instantly.  You may not make tons of cash this way but it is a nice way to earn a few extra bucks each month with very little effort.

SURVEYS - There are two ways to get access to the paid surveys.  Opt to have them emailed to you and just simply click the link provided and fill out the survey OR sign into the site and click on the survey tab and choice which survey you would like to participate in.  Surveys typically pay 50 cents per survey completed.

Daily Surveys

OFFERS - The fastest way to make money would be by filling out offers.  Offers range from being 100% free to paid services.  There are tons of different types of offers to pick and choose from.  Some free offers will ask you to sign up for other paid earning sites.   For example "Harris Poll Online" is a site that pays you to fill out surveys.  Its completely free to join and InboxDollars/SendEarnings will pay you 50 cents for joining along with whatever incentive "Harris Poll Online" offers.  There are also trial offers where you can get paid to try free samples/coupons or try a service out for a trial period typically ranging from 7-30 days.  Last there are the paid offers which pay the most money.  Get paid $25 to join Dish Network or $20 for Verizon Wireless.  If you already plan to use these products why not get paid to do so?!

GAMES - These sites have tons of fun games you can play. Compete for cash in tournaments or play for free.

COUPONS - Get paid to save money!  Save on your favorite groceries from top brands.  You get paid 10 cents for each coupon you redeem.  These coupons can be used at stores throughout the country and I believe update monthly.

TASKS - New tasks are posted daily and are 100% FREE.  Tasks include:

• labeling various products
• sorting online content
• researching answers on the web 

SHOPPING - Get cash back for shopping at your favorite stores.  Simply sign into InboxDollars or SendEarnings and click on the store you wish to shop at.  The link takes you to the same site you would go to if you just type it in your web browser. Only difference is by going through the paid sites you a percentage back for every dollar you spend.  Stores include Walmart, Target, Priceline, Overstock, Petsmart, Macys, Gap, Banana Republic, Apple Itunes, and many more!  This is a great way to earn money back on something you were already going to buy!

REFER FRIENDS - The best way to grow your online business is to add others to it!  Tell them about these great offers and easy money making opportunities.  You will get a percentage of everything they earn!  Please if interested use the links and sign up today!  It really is a great way to make a little extra cash at no cost to you!  Thanks!
