How To Get Paid Doing Surveys

I posted this how-to over on my CashCrate blog, but I thought I'd share it here too. If you haven't tried CashCrate yet, you definitely need to check it out. It has one of the best support systems online, and the approval rate for free surveys is outstanding.

This is a walk-through of EXACTLY how I, personally, complete free surveys online. I have a VERY high confirmation rate (roughly 95% of my offers approve and I get paid for them), so believe me that you need to actually do most of these steps.

• At the start of every day, I create a new email address. Make sure it's short, so it's quick to type. This email MUST be a real email address. "Disposable emails" and using Gmail's "dot trick" can be detected by the advertising companies, and you won't be credited if you use them. Don't waste your time with cheats. You can use sites like Gmail, Yahoo, Mail.com, and Hotmail.
  

• Go to your website's survey/offer list. Clear your cookies. It works best for me to delete everything on the list except the cookie for your GPT website. If you delete it, you have to log back in again every time--which wastes time.
  

• Don't click 'Close' on your cookies window. Just minimize it to the bottom of your screen so it's easier to get to next time. (Close the 'Options' window if it's in your way).

• Click on the survey/offer you want to do. Make a note of what the web address is. Each company will only credit you once per email. So if you are doing the "Day Care Survey" for e-researchcenter.us.com, you won't get credited for "Swine Flu" later because it is also hosted by e-researchcenter.us.com. Make sense? So as you're going down your list of surveys, just make sure you don't do more than one per company.
  

• Creating a spreadsheet or checklist of the companies is handy, so you don't have to write all of the companies down as you go--just put an X next to their name. (You can have a copy of my spreadsheet, if you email me at Emma@PaidDoingSurveys.com...and beg.)

• If you click on a survey/offer from the list, and it's a company you've already completed, close it. Delete your cookies again (just opening the window gave you more cookies) and move on to the next survey/offer.
  

• During the survey, let every page load completely. This one's very important. If you don't, and hit 'skip' too soon, they'll assume you're a robot and not credit you.

• Fulfill the requirements of the survey/offer. If you are supposed to complete an offer or two, do it. There are plenty of free offers to do. Simply click on one that looks interesting, fill in your information, and click submit. If the directions say to "click" on offers on the final page, click them. Simply choose a couple, click on them, let them load fully, then close the windows.
  

• Make certain you go all the way to the end of every survey.

• When you've finished, close the survey window and any pop-ups. Click the submit button on the site.

• Start the whole process back over by clearing your cookies again.

• After I've finished doing surveys for the day, or am just taking a break, I go to my email I've set up and check on the inbox. Several of the companies (particularly the ones that pay the most) send you confirmation emails to verify that you gave them a real email address. Click on the link in the email, let the page load completely, enter your email and a password if they ask you, then close it.

• When you run out of companies, it's time to set up a new email address and start the whole process over again.

DealBarbie Now Has Instant Payments!

Recently, there have been some big changes over at the DealBarbie Network. Big, GREAT changes! The entire DealBarbie Network recently changed hands to a new owner. Of course, it's bittersweet because anyone affiliated with any of the DealBarbie sites already knows how wonderful the former owner, Christina, is. She was always sincere, honest, and helpful, and her presence over at the DealBarbie sites will be very much missed.

The good news is, the new owner has implemented some AMAZING changes on the sites. Dan, the owner of CashPirate and PaidTheFastest has brought all of the great aspects of his sites and brought them over to the DealBarbie Network.

The biggest and greatest change? All payments to paypal through the DealBarbie Network are now fee-free and TOTALLY INSTANT! Seriously! That means you can simply go online to any of the DealBarbie sites, complete free offers and paid surveys, and withdraw your money as soon as the offers approve! And I thought working online couldn't get any better... Now, I don't even have to wait for my money!

Currently, DealBarbie has two sites that pay cash for completing surveys and offers. They are:

DealBarbiePays
and
DealBarbiePaysFast

(DealBarbiePaysFast only has a $1 minimum payout!!! That's awesome!)

Also, make sure you check out DealBarbie's other great points-based sites, where you can trade in your points earned for great prizes, gift cards, and advertising packages:

DealBarbiePoints
and
StarReferrals

Not Your Everyday GPT

Admittedly, after a while doing stuff on GPT sites can get repetitive and boring. You find yourself doing survey after survey, clicking on PTC after PTC, and even though you're making free, easy money online...you're just getting bored. Find yourself thinking, "I wish there was a GPT site out there that made this experience fun. Neat contests, fun prizes, games that will earn me money..."

Well stop wishing, because here's TreasureTrooper.com!!!

TreasureTrooper is a fun, innovative GPT site. It's loaded with funny adventure comics, special game quests you can do to get extra cash, a forum treasure hunt, online slot games, special "hidden treasure" that pops up now and then, and even a neat bonus game after EVERY offer you complete.

Plus, just for signing up, TreasureTrooper will pay you $3! And TreasureTrooper has a 20% referral commission! You don't want to pass this one up!

Tell Your Friends!

Did you know you can make money online just by telling your friends about various companies? Most GPT and PTC sites offer referral incentives for having your friends sign up for the site. Generally, there's a signup bonus for you and for your friend that ranges anywhere from 20 cents to $5.

An even BETTER way to make money from your friends, is by checking out the great referral PROMOTIONS different sites have available. If you pay attention to the contest schedules, you can double or even triple your monthly online income. SquishyCash and SolarRewardz, for example, are each offering $1 for every single person that you get to sign up and complete one offer. That's on top of the commission you'll make from all of your referrals earnings!

Here are my favorite referral promotions for this month. Get involved while they're still running! There's more than enough time left in the month to make some real money from these. What are you waiting for?

$1 for every referral who completes at least one offer!

$1 for every referral who completes at least one offer!


$1 for every referral who completes at least one offer!


$1 for every 5 people that sign up!

FREE $30!!!

Wow! Right now SquishyCash is giving you $10 free into your account when you sign up! That's crazy! That means you only have to earn $10 for yourself to make your first payout. Who can turn down free money? I know I can't. So, I thought I'd check to see what everyone is offering for signup bonuses right now, and post some of the BEST free signup bonuses. Just by taking the 10 minutes time it'll take to sign up for these 6 sites, you'll have earned $30 FREE! You don't want to miss these! Here they are:

$10 SIGNUP BONUS!

$5 and 500 REWARDZ SIGNUP BONUS!


$5 and 5 HELMETS SIGNUP BONUS!


$5 SIGNUP BONUS!


$3 SIGNUP BONUS!


$2 SIGNUP BONUS!

Free Referrals!

Admittedly, One of the most difficult parts of doing GPTs (for me, at least) is getting referrals. For some people, it just comes naturally. For me...not so much.

Lately, though, I've been very active on StarReferrals. It's a newish site, and part of the DealBarbie Network. It's great! The whole site is on a point system; StarReferrals calls them "stars". You can earn stars by either completing offers, signing up for people's ads, or doing PTC ads.

I love it. I wake up every morning, click on six pages of ads (takes about 10 minutes), and voila! I've got about 20 stars! Then, I go to the "Spend Stars" section and create a Paid To Signup ad for one of my many GPT sites. You can choose to offer as many of your stars per signup as you wish.

People sign up, earn stars, and I earn a new referral! It's all completely free to do. Plus (my favorite part), most of the people who are involved with StarReferrals are already active GPT users. That means you're getting experienced people, and not a bunch of new people you'll have to walk through doing offers and surveys. They're quality referrals.

StarReferrals is a MUST for building your downline. Check it out!

Contests!!!!

Wow. So much has happened in May, that I completely forgot to post my next CashCrate check! It was for $21.81. It's a little lower than my first, because I got very busy completing offers and doing surveys on some other new sites I've found.

One of the sites, MakeThatDollar, has some CRAZY contests. I spent most of the month doing what I could to be eligible for contests. It was SO worth it. Read on to find out my winnings....

The first contest was a paid-to-click contest for whoever could click on the most advertisers' banner ads within a set amount of days. This one was an easy one! I like to turn on a TV show online and listen to it while I do PTC ads - something I can just listen to in the background but don't have to watch to enjoy, like a sitcom or a soap (yes, I'm admitting I watch a soap...I'm not telling which one). I won that first contest and had $5 deposited instantly into my account! That's $5 for maybe 15 total minutes of my time, PLUS the money I made by clicking on the ads. I was hooked.

The next contest was an offer completion contest over the course of a few days. Also an easy one. I won $25!!!!

There was also a month-long offer completion contest, which I TOTALLY had in the bag right up until May 29th. Then, I got a really nasty cold and spent the next few days in bed and not working online. I only got 3rd place in the contest....BUT I STILL WON $100!!!! I'm a little disappointed that I didn't win the $500 1st place prize, but I was SO sick, and I really needed to rest.

I also completed a Paid-to-signup contest for StarReferrals and had $2 deposited directly into my paypal account. I'll definitely be writing about StarReferrals later--LOVE them.

So, in May, I earned:

• $2 from StarReferrals
• $20.50 from CashCrate
• $22.96 from TreasureTrooper (It was actually more, but I "bought" some referrals)
• $20.69 from SquishyCash
• $212.81 from MakeThatDollar

Holy Cow! Can you believe I made over $275 just doing offers and filling out surveys? And without paying for gas, or a babysitter, and in comfy clothes listening to my favorite music? And that's just these sites--I earned some smaller amounts on some other sites. Wow! And that was all just me. All of these sites offer HUGE referral bonuses. I'll be spending most of June getting referrals. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Can't wait!

Now, I'm off to make more money!

My Very First Check From Working Online!

Okay. Admittedly I was just as skeptical as you about all of this work-at-home industry hype. I thought to myself, "Seriously? I'm going to spend a little time on the internet, and some complete stranger is going to send me a check a month later?"

I knew my check from CashCrate.com was supposed to be processed on April 15th, and I'd seen everyone else's checks in the forums and in people's messages to me...but I just couldn't shake that feeling that I was going to be waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and eventually find out that I'd been duped and wasn't getting a check.

But then I got my check!!!!!

I barely put any effort into my first month of doing this stuff because I was so convinced it was a scam. But you can bet now, after getting a real check, I'm totally going to put more time into this. Can't wait!

(you can click on the check to see a larger image. $62.70! That was like 3 hours of work!)

What is CashCrate?

CashCrate is a legitimate, GPT (Get Paid To) site that pays you to complete offers, trials, and surveys, and even play games online! Companies need consumers to test and review products, services, and view websites and are willing to pay money to have people do it. Most of the time, those other companies expect you to do this for nothing, or only reward you with"points" that can only be spent at their store, and usually in unrealistic amounts (30,000 points for 10 music downloads??? Geesh!)

What CashCrate does is take the money companies give us, and give you back up to 75% of it! You can also refer your friends to CashCrate to earn MORE money! That's right--ACTUAL money. You'll get an actual check in the mail!

Best of all, it's TOTALLY free to sign up and complete offers. You will NEVER have to give your credit card info, receive a bill, or pay any type of membership fee to be a part of CashCrate. That's right--FREE!!!


So what are you waiting for!?!?

Getting Paid By CashCrate

A lot of companies out there make statements about paying you for your time and either pay you ONLY in points that you have to cash in at THEIR stores, or they don't pay you at all. Or, you spend HOURS working on their site, only to find that you didn't even earn enough to cover their fees and charges. Who wants to waste their time on that? Certainly not me.

That's what makes CashCrate so great! It's TOTALLY FREE to earn money and you get paid ACTUAL money! That's right--a check will be mailed right to you. Check out our members forum sometime. We LOVE to show off our paychecks!

Best of all, there are no deadlines or "disappearing income" with CashCrate. If you don't meet the minimum payout ($20) for a single month, it simply rolls over into your next month's income! How great is that!?! The money you earn will ALWAYS be yours.

And with our referral program, your income capabilities are endless! So what are you waiting for???
