How to ACTUALLY make money online!

Cashcrate - October Update - Making Money with Surveys

2008-10-19T07:39:00.000-07:00

Received a few messages this week asking how I am personally doing with Cashcrate, and some other questions about making money online with surveys. A few questions also asking about other sites to make money with surveys and my experiences with them.

First off, yes, i have tried some other sites for paid online surveys, and my experience has ranged from awful to average. Awful - being the ones, that i have no idea what the hell i'm doing, no layout to show you if you're actually accumulated any cash - and my main problem - NO confidence that the site's even accepted my survey. I'm sure there are other survey sites that work, but for myself, and thousands of others, cashcrate has a feel- easyness and comfort with it, that keeps bringing us back time and again - and i'd prefer only dedicating my time to one of these sites, rather than having accounts with 453 of them!

So to answer how i'm doing this month, i'd say i'm extremely pleased! Since i signed up to Cashcrate, every month's payment has been bigger than the last - and i'm not even doing offers or surveys anymore - only taking in a balance from referrals. If you really want to make a big paycheque with Cashcrate then, after getting used to the site and doing the offers + surveys, i'd absolutely reccommend to anyone to work on their referrals and safe promoting of their referral link to build up a big downline.

So to summarise:

In MY opinion, Cashcrate is the absolute best and most trusted for making cash online with surveys (and with almost 900,000 members now, it stands outright as the most popular).

You WILL make money on this site, but if you're looking for a cheque or paypal payment into the hundreds/thousands - work on referrals - it's so important and will pay off. Famously, last year, a single mother managed a constant stream of..... $2,000 a month JUST using referrals - that is insane but it proves one thing - anyone can do it and it is all doing to EFFORT.

Good luck, and please feel free to message me or reply for any advice or tips! Remember there is a great community forum at cashcrate and i'd suggest having a look through some of the threads there to get a bit of insight after signing up.

All the best! Debz x

100 Ways to Get Referrals for your GPT Program

2008-10-15T06:43:00.001-07:00

Okay, so you wanted to get paid for surveys and signed up with cashcrate! So existing members, what do we do once we run out of offers and the daily survey (which can bring it itself $50 a month) is just not quite enough for you anymore.

1 word - REFERRALS! Signing friends up to the site, or promoting it (100 ideas listed below) is an excellent way for lifetime earnings for doing nothing!

Remember

You get 20% of each member you refers earnings (does not affect their balance)

You get 10% of each member THEY refer's earnings.

Best of all, once you get to 50 referrals, the percentages increase and you get a dollar bonus for every active user. That really is generous. Even if that user only makes 10 cents, you still get a dollar for referring him.

So before we start the list, let me add 2 my absolute favourite method to gain referrals that is not listed here. I guarantee this method will bring in AT LEAST 100 new referrals a month.

BLAST4TRAFFIC - Send Multiple Emails!

The cheapest and LEGAL bulk-mailing program to advertise your links to.... 2.3 million different people EVERY DAY. For a one-off-payment, you are absolutely 100% guaranteed to make this back from the amount of money this site will make in. You don't ever use your own email address - and once again - 2.3 million emails every 24hrs.

So if you've tried that, here's 100 other great methods to try and get cashcrate referrals!

Get traffic to your blog or paid site

2008-10-12T16:55:00.000-07:00

The main task after signing up to a paid site is how to get traffic to your blog, lense or sign up page in order to gain referral comission.

I've had a few e-mails asking what the best sites/methods are to do this, so here we go!

1 - Google Adwords (and how to get it absolutely free!)

Basically you sign up to google adwords and then pay per click for certain keywords. So if you are advertising Cashcrate, you could pay 20cents per click and get on the main google search page for terms such as "cashcrate" or "get paid for suveys".. However, this can always end up being quite expensive! However, there is a method around this. You CAN actually get google adwords, and infinite exposure to your site or links for absolutely free.

Visit http://www.google-adwords-free.tk and click "buy now" down the bottom. For a one-off fee you are guaranteed lifetime free advertising on google. It works and i'd recommend it to anyone wanting visitors to their site or for building a downline in paid-to sites!

2 - Search Engine Optimisation

Basically means "getting ranked well in search engines" (mainly google/yahoo). The only trusted way i'd suggest to do this, is to sign up at http://www.get-hits.tk. You are GUARANTEED a top 5 ranking in google for your keywords after 30 days, and i can confirm it's legitimacy as our t-shirt site achieved this from using it after about 10 days. A huge increase in targeted traffic, brought a huge increase in sales, and we made the money back from the program very quickly.

So to summarise our links:

How to REALLY earn Big with GDI - Global Domains Intl.

2008-10-07T18:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, i've actually stumbled across a system that's earned me more than anything else i've worked on since the Summer 2008 in around 3 weeks.

The site is called GDI (Global Domains International).

Unfortunately, there's a $10 set-up fee, however, you'll easily make that back from their earnings structure.

After signing up to GDI you are given a website (hosted at a .ws domain) and lots of free templates, from which you can promote their system and free-web-space - check my .ws domain for an example.

Every person YOU sign up gives you $1. If that person signs someone up - another $1. If that person signs someone up - another $1. If that person signs someone up.. seriously - another $1. Hold on... If that person signs someone up - ANOTHER $1....

So. You are paid 5 levels deep. Signing 10 people up, who each sign 10 people up is $110 dollars on it's own! But think about if all those people sign up more users!

Okay, now here is where GDI really is a gem, and has worked well for me. Sign up 5 people in any week (starting midnight on sunday) and you get a $100 bonus... So if you sign up 40 people each week for 4 weeks that is - $800 a week and $3,200 a month.. Seriously - it's insane!

Remember, you'll have to do a bit of blogging, promoting, referring friends, posting in forums to gain these sign ups but once you do - you are in the money.

Cashcrate - Making money doing surveys

2008-09-04T16:35:00.000-07:00

Hey again,

In this blog, i'll be discussing signing up and making money by doing free surveys

This is my 2nd post in my "how to actually make money" online blog.. Again, expect absolutely no bullshit here and feel free to leave any comments + i'll reply asap!

Oh Cashcrate... :D It's been around on the net for a while now and has gained an excellent reputation for it's professionalism and guaranteed payout.

So what is it? Well, it's pretty much like most surveys sites but won't f*ck you around like alot of the others will. Here's the steps to creating an account and making a good earning on it!

It's absolutely free - and it's simple to do.

If you're a bit skeptical, here's proof of the top of a cheque sent by cashcrate for a month's easy work!

PROOF

How to Sign up + Earn Money

1 - Sign up -> to make money online by completing surveys
2 - Check out the huge list of surveys on offer (US, UK, Canada & European members will benefit the most)
3 - Fill in any survey or free offer they have that you are interested in (before hand, you can find out how much you will earn after successful completion of each survey usually around 75cents each).
4 - Meanwhile, get referrals by promoting their site - and thus gain 20% of their earnings!
5 - You also get paid a commission for everyone you're friends refer.
6 - And to top off, a lovely addition is the fact that they pay a bonus of $3 to you when a friend you've referred earns enough (£20 min) and cashes the money out to his bank.

How Much Can I earn in a month?

-- US members will benefit the most as more offers & surveys are available to them, however- UK, Canada and many other countries still have a fine selection of offers/surveys to earn money and luckily have the same referral-payout as the US does!

-- Ok, let's say you've signed up at CashCrate and you live in the USA.

-- You Complete the 2 simple daily surveys every day (you will make roughly $1.50 on this each day). So that alone is $45 so far over a month.

-- You complete the offers and extra surveys available (each one ranges from 25cents to $2.50) On average, most users I see on CashCrate make about $30 dollars from these. The total now is $75 dollars.

-- Ok, so that's not a huge amount, but fortunately the money to be made on cashcrate then comes down to referrals. Lets say you're in your 2nd month of cashcrate and you've promoted your account to friends, family and on the web. You've gained 30 referrals. Let's say each of these referrals only makes $20 each. That's $500, of which you take 20% - which is $100. When someone you have referred gets up to $20 (which is the minimum at which you can withdraw your earnings) - you get a $3 bonus. So 30 people you've referred who cash out is another $90 as a bonus- taking you're referral earnings to $190 and the total to now $265 dollars. The great thing here is, you have no effort involved after you have gained some friends on the site - you get paid for what THEY do! And remember, anyone these 30 people sign up themselves, you take a 10% profit. That can vary alot from another excellent earning, to a small amount, so i won't include it just now,

Example Earnings Summary

Surveys: $45
Offers: $30
Referrals + Bonus: $190
Total Monthly Earning: $265

(note: there are users on cashcrate that regularly top $500 monthly, the most i've seen is $2,000, but unless you're crazy and spend your life trying to get referrals, that will be hard.. but not impossible!)

My favourite part of this site is, how easy it is to do and make money. And yes, some of the surveys are quite intersting and may also interest you, but let's be honest here.. You've signed up to make money - and you will. I've seen members make between $10 and $200 on average on this site in the past - the big earners are mainly the ones with a good amount of referrals.

Oh and, as of September 08 - it pays by paypal!

There's a small forum on the site with some friendly members there discussing the site and tips on how to make a good wage from it! If you don't want to participate in the chat, just read all the threads in the forum, some interesting stuff!

Once you get 50 referrals, they'll pay you out on the 1st of each month and you will also then receive 25% commission instead of 20%! A good reason to start getting referrals! Otherwise, it's payout on the 15th.

Check it out, and again, it's free to try and absolutely safe, kinda fun (but that's not important, just get on there and make some f*cking money & introduce you're friends to it!) and certainly a genuine way to again add to your online-money-making balance!

Any questions, feel free to msg me after you've signed up here -> how to actually make money online! Visit CashCrate today - the #1 in paid-surveys.

Thanks :) x

MyHomePageFriends - Get paid to Search the web!

2008-09-04T16:07:00.000-07:00

Hi there,

Okay, we'll start off with my favourite online method of money making - and one that is actually well respected around the net.

MyHomepageFriends - Get Paid to Search the web

Basically, you sign up, and use the search engine (which is yahoo), and for every search you make, the site makes 5p, and gives you 2p for this.. Now this probably doesn't seem like very much! But if you're making 50 searches a day, that's a pound a day and then - 30 quid a month! Not a great deal, but an honest and realistic one (if you're fed up of the 'make 20k per month shit that lines every 2nd google ad on the web!)

Now, my favourite bit about Myhpf - you get 10% commission for every person that you sign up using you're special link-url that they give you.. And 5% for anyone THEY sign up, and 5% for anyone THEY signup... So it's a nice chain, not a huge percentage, but once you start amounting the referrals you should be on a good road!

Let's do the maths (i'll use myself for an example just now)... I average about £20 per month on my OWN searches as I use the search engine often for properly searching the web (you'll get banned by the site if you try and cheat and continually hit enter all day!). Plus i have 30 referrals from whom i gain 10% - and a load of others i get 5% from!

So after a month of using MyHomepagesFriends, my totals are looking like this:

MY OWN SEARCHING - £20

MY 30 "10%" REFERRALS (Lets say each makes £20 also + i earn £2 from each) - £60

MY 50 "5%" Referrals-Referrings (hehe - lets say each makes £10, i take 5% which is 50p) - £25

A grand total of: £105 for not very much work, and for... erm - just using yahoo!

So how does this work... If you're like me, you're probably skeptical about things like this (as i was until i was paid, and realised by checking forums - ALL others reaching the £20 min payout have been paid also!).. Myhpf gets paid a shitload of cash from advertisers and search results etc.. basically, if you make £20, they are making alot more and thankful for your help in this, which is a fair business in my opinion, and well done to them!

Here's a wee scan of a fellow user's paypal account credited after their month's work:

Pays you by paypal/cheque/credit card/bank transfer. Paypal payment is something many other programs lack!

Dailyupdates of all your stats - how much you have searched + thus earned. Your referrals. How much they have earned, and the same for anyone THEY refer.

It's also available worldwide and absolutely free to sign up, so no risk, and trust me, if you're really wanting to dip in for a bit of cash, you'll manage fine! You'll still have to do your day job, but an extra £50, £100 or more, I'm sure is welcomed :) And remember,it's available worldwide!

For taking the time to listen to me babble on, please feel free to msg me or reply in this blog anytime for any tips or help with this site!

Here's the link for it :

Good luck!
