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

• 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!

TOP GPT SITES

GPT Sites, also known as Get-Paid-To sites, allow people to join for free and earn money competing tasks.  You can get paid to read emails, take surveys, fill out offers, watch videos and shop; along with an abundant of other opportunities.

Many of these sites also have other fun activities to increase your earnings.  You can play games and compete in contests to win cash, gift cards and other prizes.  They also have referral programs which will pay you a percentage of what the members you sign up gross.

1 CashCrate - $1 sign up bonus

Click Here to Join

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!
Click Here to Join
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.


Top 10 Best Ways to Earn Money Online: For Beginners 

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.

Introduction to money-making sites: CashCrate

Hello everyone! In this blog I'm going to show you how you can make a little extra cash without costing you a cent!  This is in no way a "get rich quick" scheme.  It's more of a "I have free time so why not make 50 bucks" thing.  There are many sites out there where they will pay you to read emails, shop online, fill out surveys or complete offers.  If you find the right site and pay attention to the offers this can be quite profitable and get you some free gifts along the way.  In this blog I will review online sites, some good, some bad, that have money making potential or scam written all over them.  I will start off with one of my favorite sites CashCrate.  Its easy and FREE to join.  Just follow the link and you will also receive money for signing up.

Now I'm going to tell you how you can make money, enjoy free trial offers, and receive free gifts without costing you a thing!  The best way to make money on this site is by filling out offers under the OFFERS tab.  Before doing this and actually before even signing in, I recommend creating a new email address to filter out the spam emails you may receive in doing this.  I simply made another email on gmail for this purpose so it doesn't interfere with my personal account.

Next read the offers.  There are ones as simple as taking a quiz or just signing up to a site where all you need is an email address.  Hence the separate email account.  These will pay anywhere from $0.10 to 1.50 usually.  Others ask you to join different sites which may be other paid program sites like CashCrate or sites that offer coupons or freebies.  If you don't want to belong to these sites simply sign up, get paid by CashCrate, then when you receive your first email from whatever site you signed up for, scroll down to the bottom and click on unsubscribe.  It's that simple! 50 cents may not seem like a lot, but do that 10 times and there's $5! I do it all while watching TV.  Keeps me entertained and makes me a few bucks!

Sample of 100% Free Offers

If you want to get paid for the higher value offers you have to be willing to give a little more info like your credit card.  Don't worry, if you do it right you WON'T be charged.  There are plenty of offers where they pay you to order merchandise.  Look for the ones that will pay you MORE than what they charge for the merchandise.  For example: Right now on CashCrate you can sign up for Nascar DVD Club which costs you $4.95 and CashCrate will pay you $8 for doing this, so you profit $3.05 plus get the DVD.  The reason they do this is because the Nascar DVD Club will send you monthly DVD's if you do not cancel the subscription in 30 days.  So all you have to do is order the DVD, wait for CashCrate to pay you (usually takes a day or two) and then cancel the subscription.  Just keep track of what you've signed up for and make sure you write down how you can easily cancel the subscription.  Usually just need an email address.  There is also a Smithsonian Chronicles DVD Series which is very similar to this and they pay you $11.  I have participated in both, got my reward and canceled the subscription without any difficulty.  That is a profit of $9.10 plus two free dvd's in a matter of minutes!  Below is proof of my earnings from these two clubs along with others offer completed in March.

The trial offers are a very similar concept.  Companies want consumers to try their product and are willing to pay for it in hopes you will either love it or forget to cancel your membership.  There are many great offers; for example you can check your credit score for free or get insurance quotes.  Before you sign up just make a note of the trial period which commonly ranges from 7-30 days.  Then you have that time to enjoy the free services and cancel before the end.  These offers can pay $10, $12, $15 and sometimes more!  Even if the trial costs a few bucks, the sites will almost always offer you at least double to try them out.  Easy way to make money and you might even find something you like.  I strongly recommend trying out CashCrate and if you don't want to invest money, try the free offers at first and see how it all works!  Good luck and enjoy!
