Got Paid Update #109 - Gomez Peer

Peachy thrilled to be able to report yet another payment from a fave program and old standby that has now paid me many, many times - Gomez PEER. My latest payment for June was for $6.43 and received on July 15th, bringing my total earnings with the PEER since July 2008 to now $73.03.

(I actually reported my prior earnings here to be around $56, but since then I found a $9 and some change payment that I had apparently forgotten to put in my records for 2009.)

I often get questions from interested people about how you become activated after signing up, and I know a lot of people have signed up but never been activated. The answer to that basically is no one knows - but if you sign up, install the PEER, then leave your computer on and running ALL the time (or almost), your chances are probably a lot better of getting activated, because their system will note that your computer is available almost all the time for the PEER to run in the background.

If you only have your computer on an hour or two a day, chances are that's going to eliminate you from getting activated.

Of course (as per the documentation on their website), it also depends on whether they need computers with your particular computer's speed and specs, whether they need computers in your country/location, etc.

My computer is basically on just about 24/7 and I've never been made inactive since I originally got activated, and it only took them a month or so to activate me after I signed up.

The Gomez PEER is a great way to earn money doing absolutely nothing at all, as it works in the background of your computer while you do other stuff. You can click here to read my original post about the PEER.

Got Paid Update #108 - YouData

So you'll probably recall that a few weeks ago, I mentioned in this post that after almost a year of pretty much continuous payments every single Friday, I had last been paid by YouData at the end of April and hadn't been paid anything since.

Well, suddenly out of nowhere, I received a $0.02 payment from them Friday before last.

The only thing I can figure (since there still have been virtually no ads to view) is that one of my referrals who hadn't been there in a while went to see if they had any ads and there were one or two left from way back still waiting for them. Quite possibly someone who read my post a few weeks ago and decided to go check, but who knows.

Since that happened, while I was catching up on things here last week I decided to go take a look over at their "customer service" forum at GetSatisfaction.com to see if there had been any response or updates from YouData.

Nope. Several more posts since I was last there from more members wondering what the heck is going on, and one from a new member very confused about why there are no ads for them to see - and virtually no response from YouData staff.

I'm not removing all support for the program from my site just yet on the off chance that this all may just be temporary - but I suspect that the program is pretty much dead and it's just a matter of time before the site disappears. To have gone this long without comment in their own forum they set up to the many, many people who have been asking for months now, it really doesn't look too good for YouData. Really, at the very least, they could at least bother to put up a "sorry, we're closing" sign or some such.

In any case, it was an excellent idea in the beginning, but obviously they were never able to secure the amount and kind of advertising they hoped to be able to offer members. It's just a shame that an awful lot of people promoted it a great deal, and all the members are just being left to wonder without any answers. Too bad.

Things could change, but it doesn't look too good at this point. Anyway, my payment proof of this most recent payment is below. I'm kind of assuming their system is probably just set up to kick out payments automatically on Fridays if anyone's owed anything, since there doesn't really appear to be anyone at the wheel at YouData these days.

Got Paid Update #107 - MatrixMails

MatrixMails continues to be a consistent earner for me and is now verging on being my top highest all-time earner, as I'm getting close to the $100 mark with MatrixMails. They just paid me again last week ($3.20) and, as usual, were very fast with the payment.

As I've said many many many times before, it would be pretty difficult to get to the level at MatrixMails where you've earned $100 or more - or to be able to request payment very often - without taking one of the upgrades.

The best deal is the Gold lifetime upgrade, since you not only never have to pay to upgrade again, but also get paid the most you possibly can get paid for your clicks at MatrixMails. It is a good deal, and as I've mentioned in the past, without it, I'd probably STILL be waiting to cash out for the first time after all these years of being a member.

It's well established and been around forever (since 2002), it's not going anywhere, and will probably continue to be one of my highest recommended sites for a long, long time to come. If you're not a member already, check out MatrixMails today!

Clickers-Union

Clickers-Union is another, albeit a little smaller, PTC from the same owner as EarnEasyCash and EarnEasyPTR (which has paid me). The site has not been terribly active in a while (I think I read the owner saying one time that he kinda wound up with this site by default), but it's still a nice little site with some opportunities.

UPDATED 08/15/2010: Clickers-Union now has an $0.85 minimum cashout via PayPal and still the $1.01 minimum cashout via AlertPay (no fees for either). Payments are stated to be paid within three days of request. PTC, PTS and more is offered. PTC is $0.001 per ad viewed, and there is one referral level (25%).

Members are welcome from all countries except: China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Phillippines, and Vietnam.

Check out Clickers-Union today if you're not already a member!

NOTE: Clickers-Union qualifies as a site that pays, as I have been paid by its partner site EarnEasyPTR. See EarnEasyPTR for more info.

UPDATE 03/02/2013: This site has closed.

Gazelle

Gazelle is another bit different opportunity where you can get cash for your used or unwanted electronic gadgets, movies, and video games.

Every item gets an offer and there is no cost to you. Gazelle pays for shipping and sends you the box to ship your item in. After the item arrives at Gazelle, you can be paid by the option of your choice of PayPal, check, or Amazon gift certificate.

When you refer people, after they sell their first $50 worth of items to Gazelle, you receive $10. Payment for referrals is made monthly via check or PayPal around the 15th of every month (one month in arrears).

At this time, Gazelle accepts US members only. This is a pretty neat program and a great way to get rid of all that old unwanted gadget-y stuff around the house (I need to do it myself), so check out Gazelle today and earn some cash!

Got Paid Update #106 - PaidTheFastest

And another two-fer posting given that the previous post was supposed to have been posted about a year ago, and since then I've been paid by PaidTheFastest.

And yep, when they say instant payments they do mean instant - I had that payment immediately after requesting it back in April.

Check the previous post for more info on the site, and if you're not a member, consider signing up for PaidTheFastest today!

PaidTheFastest

PaidTheFastest is another site I've had on the list to review for a while and just hadn't gotten around to yet.

PaidTheFastest is basically a general GPT but has quite a different look and feel to it. They have fairly liberal use of promo codes as well as jackpots and many other ways to earn.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Cashout is a $1 minimum and paid instantly (within 24 hours) via PayPal. Payment is now also available by Amazon gift certificate at $5, paid weekly. There is one referral level of 20%.

UPDATED 03/04/2013: It appears that PaidTheFastest is now open to some other countries besides the US, though I'm not sure which ones, probably Canada, UK, Australia - not sure where else. You can try & register & see if yours is one of them.

Check out PaidTheFastest today!

Smileyfreebies4you

Smileyfreebies4you is another GPT site owned by the same owner of GPTCashCow It's really an adorable site, I love the graphics on this one. There is not often a lot of PTC here, but when there is it's usually $0.01 ads.

The site has a $3 minimum cashout via PayPal or Revolution Money Exchange, $10 for check, and $20 for gift card payout and pays on a Net 15 basis. One referral level but it's... guess what... 100%! This is also another site that often has promo codes.

The site is open to US members only. If not already a member, sign up with Smileyfreebies4you today!

NOTE: I have been paid by Smileyfreebies4you's partner site, GPTCashCow, so this site qualifies as a paying site. See GPTCashCow entry for more info.

Got Paid Update #105 - Big Crumbs

So as you can probably tell, I'm a little behind - because that Big Crumbs post has actually been sitting in draft for almost a year, and now I have a payment to report for it!

Yep, that was kind of a surprise payment I wasn't expecting that I got in June. Nice tho, I like surprise money just fine!

Check out the previous post for the scoop on Big Crumbs, and if you're not already a member and are interested, sign up and check it out some more!

BigCrumbs

I can't imagine too many people haven't heard about BigCrumbs, and I've been a member for a long time but for whatever reason (disorganization, lack of sleep, etc.) I just never got around to posting about it.

BigCrumbs is a site where you can earn cash back for shopping at tons of major, well-known retailers online. You earn cash back on both everything you buy AND everything your referrals buy via BigCrumbs. This includes at eBay as well as many other major retailers like Target, The Gap, Best Buy, Circuit City, Old Navy, and more.

Payment is via PayPal on or about the 15th of every month (payment one month in arrears).

Members are welcome from the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, and Australia, but they're working to bring more countries on. Check out BigCrumbs today!

Got Paid Update #104 - thePaidHelp

Have gotten paid three times now (the most recent payment proof below) from my favorite tool of all time when it comes to keeping up with GPT/PTR/PTC payments - AND the neat other thing about it is you can make some extra money from it too by referring others!

thePaidHelp is the most fabulous thing ever, and as I have said many times before, I would literally die without it (LOL). I received a third referral bonus from it (50 cents) in January of this year - twice last year.

If you didn't read me raving and gushing about thePaidHelp in the past, click HERE to read all about it. If you're serious about doing GPT/PTR/PTC, this is the thing to keep you organized to a T! Check out thePaidHelp today!

Got Paid Update #103 - NFO/MySurvey

Got another $10 check back in April from old reliable NFO/MySurvey, which is always pretty steady and regular with the surveys. Many of the surveys are short, but the short ones add up too!

I have kind of slacked off on surveys the last six months because I've just been so darn busy, but those who have the time to spare really can make some pretty good side money with the reputable sites. And as always, for the most part - with REPUTABLE, reliable sites - it is going to be pocket change, and no one should ever, ever, EVER pay to take surveys - that's a pretty sure sign you're getting scammed.

The survey sites I have listed here on the site are all established, reputable and reliable, and there are other good ones out there. Again, if anyone ever asks you to pay money to take surveys? Run! Any reputable site will be paying you, not the other way around.

Anyway, NFO/MySurvey is a good one and very reliable and regular, so if you're interested and not a member already, check it out today!

Got Paid Update #102 - MatrixMails

Well, if you've been here very long at all, you know I'm a huge fan of MatrixMails and always have been, and just think their Gold lifetime upgrade (which I will never have to ever pay for again) is the best thing ever. Without it, I'd probably STILL be waiting to cash out for the first time after all these years, lol.

You just get so much more per click when you're upgraded at Matrix, and the assorted other benefits are very nice too. Upgraded members can cash out at any time in any amount, and though it hasn't gone into effect yet, MatrixMails announced a few months ago they were planning to go to instant payments, so that'll be even nicer.

In any case, I've been paid twice since the beginning of the year by MatrixMails - $6.40 in January and $5.39 in April - always reasonably fast payments. The most recent payment proof is below.

Another long-established and paying site here and well worth your while and effort (and well worth upgrading as well). If not a member already, check out MatrixMails today!

Got Paid Update #101 - Clicksia

And yet another first time actual payment to report, this time from Clicksia - another one I should have been able to report a long time ago, but once again, this was a site I kept redeeming my balance for advertising on before it occurred to me it might be nice to report an actual payment from them!

Super very fast and almost instant payment - I got paid within just a few hours of request.

This is another of the oldest and longest established PTC sites on the 'Net - and the redemption for advertising rates really are pretty cool too. Highly recommend, and minimum cashout is now only a dollar.

Got Paid Update #100 - Deals 'n' Cash

Always love to be able to report first-time payments, and although I got paid by Deals 'n' Cash's sister site Hits4Pay last year, this was my first payment from Deals 'n' Cash - $30.32 in May.

Hits4Pay tends to historically get more ads, but I'd noticed late last year the ones for Deals 'n' Cash seemed to be increasing and indeed it paid off bigtime and got my balance up to cashout level. Both sites can take a while to make cashout, but the mails do come in a relatively steady flow most of the time and especially if you can promote and get referrals, you can do well with these.

Got Paid Update #99 - LinkGrand

I have just been so very, very thrilled with LinkGrand since late last year. For a while there, it seemed like my balance was never going anywhere much - and then late last year, the site really took off and now I've been paid like four times within a year or less, three times since January (all between $5.50-$7). The most recent payment proof is below.

That's been a big improvement from the distant past, AND they recently instituted two upgrade options to premium members that are very reasonable - $10 for a whole year, or $20 lifetime one-time payment - that give you great benefits with more ads, more earnings and more in commissions. Really, really nice.

So all this has really edged it on up there with my longtime favorites MatrixMails, WordLinx, and ClixSense - you can't really beat the upgrade options at any of the three, nor now LinkGrand.

Terrific advertising rates at LinkGrand too, and payment was lightning fast - I think I had my payment before even an hour had passed of requesting!

Not a member? By all means, join LinkGrand today 'cos it's a great one!

Got Paid Update #98 - YeeHawClickin

Thrilled to be able to report my first payment from YeeHawClickin, which I had no doubt I would get eventually since this site is run by yet another active, honest and respected member of the community (and also owns the GPT site R U Ready 4 Money). Payment was received very quickly and just a good all-around transaction.

Got Paid Update #97 - No-Minimum

And much like my reported payment from DonkeyMails yesterday, I also got paid by its sister site No-Minimum in May - and very quickly as usual.

Much as I said yesterday about DonkeyMails, I mostly do just paid mails on these two sites so I don't cash out that much or often - but again, there are many opportunities on both sites to do more and make more for those who wish to. Paid emails are certainly plentiful from both, in any case.

Got Paid Update #96 - DonkeyMails

Received another payment from good old reliable DonkeyMails back in May - as usual, they usually pay within a week or so of request, if not days. I generally only do paid mails there so I don't cash out much or often, but there is PTC on site as well as many other opportunities on site for those who want to do more.

Got Paid Update #95 - WordLinx

Super thrilled to be able to report my very first payment ever from WordLinx, which has been one of my favorite PTC/mail sites from the beginning and I should have been able to report a payment from them a long time ago - except I wound up spending my balance on advertising instead. If I'd thought about it, I would have waited so I could have reported it as a paying site first!

But pretty much most people know what a good reputation WordLinx has always had, and it is indeed one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) PTC around with years and years of good paying history behind it.

In any case, if you're not a member of this established & paying PTC, you should be - they have great advertising rates as well. Join WordLinx today!

Got Paid Update #94 - GPTCashCow

I'm not doing a whole lot of general GPT site activity these days, but one site that has been consistently great since I've joined (and growing all the time) is the legendary GPTCashCow. I've now been paid three more times (the most recent of which is below) by this site since right at the end of the year last year, bringing my total earnings to just under $40 since I joined.

Considering that I've grown kinda lazy when it comes to general GPT activity, that's not a bad total for me at all! I mostly do PTC when I'm there and do have quite a few referrals - which is unusual for me, I'm usually not that lucky - but this site tends to keep members active and happy and for a good reason, 'cos it's a great site!

And Reagan (owner) is well known in the community as one of the most honest and trustworthy owners around, and has often gone out of her way for others - owners and members - many times at this point. I like supporting sites that I know have good management behind them.
