Spotlight On: ClickTrackProfit

Here's something a little different again for Friday and the weekend. I'd like to introduce to you one of my favorite money-earning sites of all time ever, ClickTrackProfit.

ClickTrackProfit opened a couple of years or so ago from the Timtech family of sites (the PTC site Nerdbux, tracking program trck.me (formerly TE Toolbox), and long-established traffic exchanges StartXchange, Sweeva, ILoveHits, and Thumbvu).

While CTP is built around some of the most successful and popular traffic exchanges online (which are of course always very useful for promoting your PTC/GPT/PTR sites), it's also got some basis in Paid to Click sites and other sites as well - and guess what, you can earn real money too!

Members can earn real cash by finding CTP money badges while surfing the traffic exchanges included in CTP's Nerd Surf section, as well as other fun badges to collect, and there are also other opportunities to win prizes of real money in CTP's daily Vault & Key games and the Submarine Game. Money badges and cash prizes generally range from $0.01 to $1.00, but occasionally there are even $10 money badges in rotation.

Can you really earn money here? You sure can. Within my first hour of surfing the Nerd Surf sites the other day, I found three or four money badges that morning alone, including a $0.03 one. In just barely a month, I've already racked up over $2 in money badges and game winnings from CTP.

(You can click HERE to learn more about CTP's money badges - this is a superfun video to watch!)

The great thing about CTP is not only can you earn money, but you can earn while you learn if you want to take making money online a step further and to the next level with CTP's training program, which includes extensive fun and entertaining videos (mostly short ones) that teach you how to build downlines and earn commissions, among other very useful online money earning topics.

Even if you're not all that interested in the traffic exchanges, this is still very useful training towards building downlines in PTC sites and really almost any online program. CTP is also just a really fun community to be a part of!

Here's the 411 on ClickTrackProfit:

• $10 minimum cashout, paid automatically on Fridays via PayPal (14 days after money is earned)
• Surf traffic exchanges for money badges (real money earned) as well as game badges
• Earn cash & other prizes from the daily Gold & Silver Vault 'N' Keys games and the daily Sub Game
• Take making money online a step further with this fun game-based training program & learn while earning
• Built around the most successful and popular traffic exchanges, but includes some PTC & other sites too
• Extensive, fun & often entertaining video training to learn how to build downlines & earn commissions
• Owned & operated by Timtech (includes the owners of 2 top traffic exchanges, StartXchange & ILoveHits)
• Timtech also owns the traffic exchanges Sweeva & Thumbvu, trck.me, & ListNerds
• Reliable - Timtech has been established in advertising services for 11 years without missing a payment
• Members welcome from all countries

If you're not a member already, you really should be, especially if you're interested in learning how to make money online efficiently and build your downlines. Check out ClickTrackProfit today!

BEEN PAID: I have been paid multiple times since 2009 by Timtech sites, including the traffic exchanges Sweeva and Thumbvu

 

Spotlight On: AdPaid

AdPaid, which has long been a favorite site of mine and has some of the nicest admins around (one of which unfortunately recently retired), has been going through some server issues in recent months but that appears to have been resolved now and the site is back up and running as usual. That's great, because they have always been reliable and always paid fast, with a super low $3 minimum cashout.

It's also been one of my favorites because for many years they have always had a lot of regular paid emails sent to members. Apparently the paid email system is still being worked on, but one of the admins recently posted that it should be back up and running very soon, so that's good news as well.

Here's the basic 411 on AdPaid:

• It's been online and paying since May 2004
• $3 minimum cashout ($5 for gift certificates)
• Payment via PayPal, or Amazon/BestBuy/Wal-Mart gift certificates within 7 days
• PTC, PTS, paid surveys, & paid e-mails
• 6 referral levels
• Points converted to cash monthly
• Upgrade to earn more
• Members welcome from these countries/territories:  Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guam, Guernsey, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Luxembourg, Maldives, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, US Virgin Islands
• Awarded Diamond Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com

Spotlight On: FusionCash

I admittedly had been sorta down on and felt somewhat negative towards FusionCash for several years now, but I've become much more positive about and thrilled with the site of late. I'm not sure if the changes and improvements in the site that have made me feel more positive towards it have actually been there in place for a long while or more recently, because I just hadn't been a very regular visitor/user there in several years.

FusionCash was actually one of the first, if not the very first, site I worked on and cashed out on, but after my first cashout, I was finding it hard to find enough to do there to get my balance back up close enough to the site's $25 minimum cashout. By then I had found lots of other sites with lower cashout levels and plenty to do to earn on, so I mostly ignored FusionCash and spent my efforts elsewhere.

In any case, a couple of months or so ago I took some time to poke around the site at length for the first time in ages, mainly to see what I might be able to do to be able to get my balance up closer to what is what I generally consider an overly high cashout minimum (which was pretty much the reason I had stopped being very active there). For a while there, it just seemed like too much trouble or nearly impossible to reach their $25 minimum cashout very efficiently or on any regular basis, so I just mostly stopped visiting except for purposes of keeping my account active.

And, over the years, I lost quite a bit of referral commissions and payments for offer completions in the process since, unlike most other sites, your offer completions on FusionCash expire after 180 days (~ six months) if you don't or aren't able to make a withdrawal. I basically lost somewhere around or over $35 since 2008 due to those earnings having expired.

So upon visiting again a few months ago, I was really pleased a few months ago to discover that FusionCash had made additions and improvements that actually make it pretty simple to increase earnings regularly that are much more to my liking - i.e., a fairly small amount of effort daily or so.

I think I had less than a dollar in my balance when I started getting more active on FusionCash again in April, but since April 8th, I've managed to get my balance up over $15 with really only a fairly small amount of time and effort every day (or almost every day). At that rate, I could pretty easily pocket about an average extra $75 yearly, give or take, in virtually free money - and probably more, of course, if I wanted and had the time to put forth more effort.

How have I made $15 or so in less than three months? Well, I was already signed up for their Daily Cash Email, which is $0.02 daily for a minute or two's effort. Then basically I've been earning the rest daily or so with their daily Paid to Click, which is a whopping $0.15 per day; watching a few videos, which earns another $0.01 to $0.02 per video; and their FC Surveys, also found on the Daily Offers section, which pay $1 to $3 and sometimes even more per survey if you qualify for the survey. In addition, most of the FC Surveys also pay you a $0.01 bonus even if you don't qualify for the survey.

All of that can really add up over time, and that's just stuff from the Daily opportunities page, which also has tasks, a toolbar you can install and earn from, and several other things. So that's not even counting all the other sections of offers on the site!

Anyhow, I'm way closer to cashing out at FusionCash again than I have been in many years thanks to all this stuff, so I'm feeling much more positive towards the site again these days and actively working it again.

Another sort of difference with FusionCash as opposed to most other similar sites is that you can cash out at $25 or above, but at least $15 of your balance must be from offer completions - which was another reason I had so much trouble getting anywhere close to cashing out again there before. I had money from referrals and some other earnings from a few offer completions, but just never enough for their cashout requirements.

The $0.01 bonuses from the disqualified FC Surveys don't count, but I still have at present nearly $14 in offers, so again, I am way, way closer to being able to cash out there again than I have been in years and years (I haven't cashed out there since 2008).

UPDATED & CORRECTED INFO, 07/12/2013: FusionCash pays by PayPal (1-3 days), check, or bank direct deposit. Yet another difference (as opposed to most sites nowadays) is that they still only do cashouts once a month, and pay you on or around the 20th of the following month for any cashout you make the previous month. (Example: If you cashout any time in July, you will be paid on or around the 20th of August.)

FusionCash now accepts members from Canada, as well as the United States. (Not sure when they added Canada, but apparently they did since the last time I checked!)

I finally feel good again about recommending FusionCash, after all of their additions and improvements since I last really paid attention, and actually, this experience has motivated me to go poke around some of the other sites I still promote and recommend but haven't been very personally active on in years (again, mainly due to higher cashout minimums) to see what they too may have added to make earnings easier since I last thoroughly reviewed the site! Stay tuned!

(And as mentioned in recent posts, I still have a rather large announcement upcoming (but it's not quite ready yet), so keep checking back! I'm excited and I hope you will be too!)

Spotlight On: ClixSense

So I have basically just fallen in love with old tried-and-true ClixSense lately. ClixSense has not only remained one of the most active sites out there (and more active than ever lately, it seems), but they have made so many awesome improvements and additions to the site over the last couple of years that it's become unbelievably easy to get to cashout minimum, and quickly.

I admittedly spent years being semi-ambivalent about the site, and even quite frustrated with it on occasion. For several years, it took so long to reach cashout, plus they onIy paid once a month, and even as an upgraded Premium member, it was tough to get to cashout level.

Then I was especially annoyed when they started deactivating inactive accounts - not hard to reactivate, but during the long period that I wasn't very active anywhere, I found myself marked inactive again and again and it was just a pain in the neck.

But now I'm all about how great ClixSense is these days. It's awesome now! I've even been paid twice in the last two and a half weeks (probably could have been paid three times in two weeks if I'd really wanted to, but I let one payment opportunity slip past me and requested it a few days later).

One of the biggest improvements they made a while back was lowering their cashout level to both standard (free) and Premium members, and increasing the frequency of payments.

In my early years doing this stuff, the site had a $20 cashout and you could only get paid monthly by check, plus they took a pretty big fee out of payments (something like $2, if I recall correctly), so it took a really long time to get to cashout level and then you had that huge fee taken out, which was really frustrating. For a long time, it ranked about 3rd or 4th place with me among its peers because of all that.

Then they lowered cashout quite a bit, and then lowered it again quite a bit MORE, to where cashout minimum is now only $8 for standard (free) members and $6 for Premium members, AND started paying lots more often, now paying twice weekly (on Mondays and Fridays) via PayPal, Payza, or Liberty Reserve. They still have a check option once a month ($10 minimum, plus they do still take out a $1.50 fee for check payments), but honestly, why bother waiting if you don't have to?

They also now only take out a relatively small fee for online payments (1% to 2.5%, depending on your chosen payment method) now, so that's great too. It's nowhere near painful to cashout like it once was, seeing all those dollars taken out of smallish checks.

All of these awesome improvements with their payment system has really upped ClixSense in my opinion, and not only that, they have made so many great additions to the site and improvements with ways to earn, it's really gotten pretty easy to be able to cash out at least weekly, if not twice a week!

Look for the Daily Checklist Bonus - that alone can get you to cashout level a lot quicker than normal, and really doesn't take a lot of time to do daily.

Besides always having PTC ads (more daily if you're upgraded), there's a rather large amount of paid offers available as well as the addition of Tasks - some of which I rarely have interest in but some of which I generally make a point of doing several daily, and those Task payments can really add up.

Then there's the ClixGrid, where you can take your chances and win up to $5 daily. And tons of other stuff too. The site is just loaded with earning activities these days!

The Premium upgrade has increased from what it once was (though pretty much every site's upgrade has increased, for the most part) to $17 yearly, but I still recommend it. The upgrade is still well worth it and really does give you a boost to getting to cashout level much more quickly.

Here's the basic stats on ClixSense, to reiterate:

• $8 minimum cashout for Standard (free) members, $6 for Premium (upgraded) members
• Cashout $10 if by check (Canada/US/Mexico) or $100 (rest of world), $15 if by Liberty Reserve
• Payment via PayPal, Payza (formerly AlertPay), Liberty Reserve, or check (fees apply to all payments)
• Payments twice weekly on Mondays & Fridays except for check payments (once monthly)
• Pays $0.001 or more per ad viewed, up to $0.02
• Easy daily bonus available via ads, ClixGrid, forum reading, and tasks and/or offers
• Varying referral levels & options dependent on membership type/type of ad viewed by referrals
• Lots of offers as well, and other ways to earn
• Premium upgraded members receive referral commissions on 8 levels
• Members welcome from all countries except: Afghanistan, Algeria, Antarctica, China, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, North Korea, Niger, Sri Lanka, Vietnam

In any case, all the great improvements to ClixSense over the last year or two have just really impressed me and been very lucrative lately, and I am in the process right now of having earned more there in just the last couple of months than I did in my first four years as a member thanks to all these neat improvements and additions.

You're probably already a member (the site has thousands of members), but if you're not? Do yourself a favor and check out ClixSense today!

Spotlight On: Bank Roll Bucks

So for the first time in a long time, I have a "new" GPT site to add... although it's not really new, and I'm so very, very excited to make this post! I've been meaning to actually for over a year now, but being so swamped the last couple of years kept me from re-signing up and being able to post this.

Anyway, without further ado, I'm so very, very pleased to be able to recommend to you again what has been my all-time favorite GPT site for years, Bank Roll Bucks, which reopened back in 2011 after the admin took some time off from the GPT world with a new baby.

Bank Roll Bucks is not only a favorite because it's such a great site with such a terrific admin - it also is one of my top paying sites of all time. Between April of 2008 and September of 2009, I earned and was paid over $100 total from Bank Roll Bucks.

One of the reasons it is easy to increase your balance on the site is because there are not only always lots of offers, but the site admin has always been vigilant about making sure the offers at Bank Roll Bucks are active and good ones, and weeding out any bad/poor ones. New offers are added to the site daily.

In addition, there's plenty more to do at Bank Roll Bucks, with 20+ daily surveys available (survey earnings on GPT sites can really add up); daily, weekly, and yearly promos, and much more. There are also lots of fun games available, including Slots, Bingo, Pick a Pair (always been my favorite), and Spin A Rama. There are also PTC (paid to click) ads on the site.

Bank Roll Bucks has a minimum cashout of $1, and payments are made via PayPal, Amazon gift certificate, or check. Payments are made daily except for checks, which are mailed weekly on Fridays. There are three referral levels (25%, 5%, and 1%).

In addition, there are some really cool bonuses! You earn a free bonus when any of your referrals complete their first offer, and a $1 bonus for every 25 offers you complete.

Members are welcome at Bank Roll Bucks from these countries: the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, and Germany.

And probably the most important of all, Bank Roll Bucks is run by an absolutely trustworthy and wonderful admin who has been well-known, active, and helpful in the GPT community for a long, long time, and who is always quickly and easily available to the site's membership. I just could never say enough good about Jennifer, and she truly cares about the integrity of the site, her members, and the GPT community in general. Truly a topnotch GPT admin!

And in fact I have said tons good about her and Bank Roll Bucks in the past - you can find those old posts (all 100% positive) in the closed site section if you want to know more.

In short, when it comes to Bank Roll Bucks, you just can't go wrong - always my absolute highest recommendation ever when it comes to Get Paid To sites!

Not a member yet? By all means, head over there right away and join Bank Roll Bucks 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.

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!

GlobalCashClicks

Thought I'd better go ahead and make my post on this one since I just turned in a cashout request a few days ago, or else my payment might get here before I'd posted!

GlobalCashClicks is a favorite PTC/PTR of many. I tend to classify it (and JillsClickCorner) more as a PTC since they don't send out paid mails, but it does have PTS and other stuff on it as well. Those of you familiar with DonkeyMails, No-Minimum, and JillsClickCorner will find many similarities with this one.

There are always bunches of ads to view daily (20+ pages worth), tho once you get through the first dozen or so pages, the rest seem to be mostly PTP ads. I found, however, when I got diligent about doing my ads every day, it didn't take long to get to cashout minimum.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: GlobalCashClicks presently offers $1.01 minimum cashout via Payza, approximately weekly. Pay is $0.0001 to $0.15 per ad viewed, with one referral level of 20%. As usual with most PTC/PTRs, you can upgrade to earn more.

Members are welcome from all countries - visit GlobalCashClicks today!

Survey Sites That Pay - An Update

(Updated 09/01/2010)

UPDATE: NFO/MySurvey now pays by PayPal as well as check!

In trying to get caught up on my online money efforts and also working on a side project I've been working on a while, I got down to the survey sites that I have been a member of a while and been either paid by or racked up a balance with, and discovered that in the time I've been a little inactive in the survey arena, MindField Online has made some big changes with lowering their cashout minimum from $10 to $5, is now paying via PayPal, and also has a new referral program where you can earn per referral. I thought I had written here about Mindfield before but apparently I didn't, so there ya go!

In light of that, plus the fact that I've kind of given hope of earning anything much on some others (Lightspeed, ClickIQ tho I need to get back there sometime and try some more, Pinecone which won't let me back in LOL, & Greenfield Online... Greenfield used to be a good earner years ago, but now I never get anything but sweepstakes entry surveys and the money surveys are always closed even when I've just barely gotten the mail)... I decided it was time to update the Survey Sites That Pay info on the site and consolidate it all again in a new post.

(By the way, it turns out that missing $8 survey money I thought I had coming from ACOP that I decided I must have been mistaken about IS there after all! I guess it just took a while to credit to my account. I requested a cashout on it yesterday so expecting that payment before too long.)

Several of these have affiliate programs that are worth signing up for, or give you referral links to earn on. You can earn anywhere from 50 cents to $2 per referral on several of the sites below.

Anyway, without further ado, here is the newly updated version of my recommended Survey Sites That Pay (or that I expect to be paid by very soon!)...

EarnEasyCash

The first thing I noticed about EarnEasyCash - whoa, there are always a LOT of ads! I don't think I've been there yet when there haven't been 80 or more PTC ads available.

GPT site offers are so time consuming (and I seem to be having terrible luck with approvals lately), and I'm very happy with the ones I'm entrenched at and not really looking at adding new ones to my daily activities right now, so I've been looking more at PTC/PTRs lately. I have been following in the footsteps of some of my fellow GPT/PTC bloggers who have spent a lot more time on PTC sites in general than I have and joining some of the ones they have had good luck with and been paid by, this was another one of those.

You can earn up to $0.05 per ad here - most are in the $0.0001 to $0.01 range - and there are random $0.05 ads daily. There is one 20% referral level here and there are also weekly referral contests.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: EarnEasyCash now has a minimum cashout of $0.90 via PayPal and $1.01 via Payza (no minimum cashout for premium members). As usual with most PTC/PTRs, you can upgrade to earn more. There is one referral level available at 20% payout. The site states payments are usually received within 72 hours of request.

EarnEasyCash is open to international members and has also been awarded the Gold Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com - check it out today!

JillsClickCorner

I recently joined JillsClickCorner and whoa - talk about a LOT of PTC ads! Pages upon pages upon more pages!

JillsClickCorner has been around for a few years (i.e., likely not going anywhere like so many do). It pays up to 1 cent per ad though most are lower, but still - there are SO many! Upgraded members, as usual with PTC, can earn more. There are PTS offers as well, and many other ways to earn here on this multi-activity site. There is one referral level here of 10%.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Minimum cashout is now $1 via PayPal, $1.06 via Payza, and between $0.10 to $1 for several other payment processors the site has available (including Liberty Reserve).

International members are welcome here. This one is also affiliated with the DonkeyMails/etc group of sites, which do pay, so I feel confident about this one as well. Check out Jill's Click Corner today!

Gomez PEER Revisited - I Got Activated!

Well, after all my yapping yesterday about important info to share this week (the most important of which I did manage to post yesterday), I got unexpectedly busy over the past 24 hours and don't have time but for a quick post today. But that's OK, there will be more super-important info here before the week's out!

While we're at it, though, I'd like to talk about Gomez PEER a little bit again, especially now that I have some more experience with it. (Click here to re-read my original post about it.) I figure this is one of the moneymaking opportunities here that people may be the most skeptical about because you have to download it to your PC, so I wanted to revisit the subject again.

The Gomez PEER is a secure, Java-based application that runs in the background of your PC that combines the spare capacity of PCs around the world to measure the performance of web sites. So, it is basically using the resources that you don't use in the background of your computer to test the performance of websites (and thereby basically make the Internet better for all!).

I had seen it but didn't join and download for a long time because (1) I am a techgeekchick and a gamer (well, when and if I can find the time), and I get aggravated when my computer doesn't run as fast as it possibly can, so I am VERY picky about what I put on it that might use up any resources; and (2) also being a techgeekchick and having been using computers since, like, 1979, I may make a few concessions but I basically keep my computers locked up tighter than Fort Knox and run security software constantly, so I more often than not avoid lots of things that require me to download them and install them on my computer.

The PEER is safe and secure, and I've been happy to report in the past as well - and continue to - that it doesn't interfere with ANYTHING I do or run. I just simply don't know it's even there. Even when I'm loading and running other known resource hogs (like my beloved games) - the PEER running in the background simply does not affect anything. It's like it's invisible.

It took me about two months to finally get made active, so now I will also be getting paid every month that the PEER makes me over $5 a month (up to $45 monthly). When you sign up, you are placed in pending status and your account is reviewed periodically for potentially being made active, so the thing to do is install it and leave your computer on with the PEER running as much as possible.

It may take a little while, but I can now verify that after some time there is a good chance you will be made active! So if you've installed it and been running it and are still in pending, don't give up hope. And from the looks of things, I think I will be able to say in August that I've now been paid by Gomez PEER, too - awesome!

But even if you are not made active and therefore making money on the PEER's processing time, you can still make money referring others who are made active PEERs even if you are still in pending or are made inactive. Gomez PEER will pay you a one-time $1 referral bonus for every referral that's made active, and again, you'll get paid monthly as long as your qualified earnings are $5 a month or more.

You can also run the PEER on as many computers as you have access to run it on. I haven't been using my laptop as much because it's been having problems lately, but any time it's on, the PEER is usually then running on both it and my desktop computer. So you can double (or more) your earnings that way. I think it's quite possible that running it on more than one computer can increase your chances to get made active also, but that's just a guess on my part. Their FAQ does state that users with the most system activity are much more likely to be activated.

Gomez PEER pays by PayPal, Moneybookers, or Alipay and, again, pays you every month your qualified earnings are over $5. They accept new Peers with both dialup and broadband connections, and from most countries.

At this time (July 8th, 2008), their list of most needed countries for more Peers are: United States, China, Germany, United Kingdom, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Canada, and all countries in South America. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it if you are in another country than those; there's always a chance your account might get made active, and they review your account every 7-10 business days.

So if you're interested, head over to Gomez PEER (they have tons more information in their FAQ if you have more questions) and check it out!

More tomorrow! Have a great night (or day, wherever you are)!

LinkGrand

And here's yet ANOTHER great paid to click site for today (I've actually got more, but we'll just stick with these three for today!).

LinkGrand not only generally has BUNCHES of ads to click and read every day, but it's a little different than the others in that there's no upgrade package available - every member gets access to the same number of ads! The other side of the coin to this is that they pay what equals to 3 cents per every ten links you view. Honestly, I've never been there that there haven't been lots and lots of ads to click.

You can cash out at any time you reach the $5 minimum, payment is by PayPal, and they state they pay within 24 hours (nice!). I'm pretty certain it's open to all international members; as long as you have a PayPal account, you can earn money here!

LinkGrand has one referral level of 30% for referrals' viewed ads, and pays 10% on ads purchased by your referrals.

I kinda get a big kick out of this one 'cos the FAQ shows the admin's sense of humor well, it always makes me laugh to read it so even though I've read it several times, I click over there again sometimes to get a giggle.

In any case, you can't go wrong with this one - it's totally free and ONLY free, all you have to do is sign up and review ads and make money, and I know many folks who are making a nice extra income with this and the other clicking and paid e-mail opportunities alone listed here on the site - so go for it! Join LinkGrand today!

UPDATE 06/27/2010: LinkGrand is not only paying better than ever in recent months, but recently unveiled an awesome upgrade option for premium members - $10 yearly or $20 lifetime (and never have to pay again if you purchase the lifetime). This will be yet another upgrade I'll be recommending along with the MatrixMails, ClixSense and WordLinx upgrades for sure!

UPDATED AGAIN - 06/24/2012: Some changes to the upgrade options at LinkGrand. Not sure when this went into effect (sometime earlier in the year, I imagine), but the upgrade option prices are now $5 for four months, $12 for two years, or $25 lifetime. The lifetime upgrade is still a very good deal in my opinion - premium members get lots more ads - and to never have to pay to upgrade again is great. It's also considerably less expensive than some other similar sites that have lifetime upgrades.

Now that I've been upgraded for some time now and enjoyed the benefits of watching my earnings increase notably faster - and especially since LinkGrand's cashout remains $5, which means I get to that $5 much quicker upgraded - I'd not want to downgrade my account with LinkGrand even if I didn't have the lifetime upgrade and could!

Not on board with this great program yet? Join LinkGrand today!

WordLinx

I haven't talked about any click-only sites in a while, and I've actually got several to get to reviewing here soon. Those of you who like the easy lazy way with the clicking sites will really like this one!

WordLinx works very similar to ClixSense. Members are paid for visiting advertisers' websites for 20 seconds. Big plus? $0.01 or more per click with a free basic account - that's pretty great for a click site. As with many click sites, you can upgrade and will likely get more ads to click and review (several upgrade plans, but the $10/year verified member upgrade is well worth it and VERY reasonable - that's $10 a YEAR, not per month!).

Payout is a low $10. Another big plus - payouts are usually honored within 48 hours of request. You must have a PayPal account in order to be paid. Optional earnings may be converted to advert credits. International members are welcome.

More about WordLinx:

• Online and paying since 2003
• $0.05 bonus per referral, 5% of earnings/ad sales, $0.50 per upgraded referrals (3 levels)
• Awarded the Diamond Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com

UPDATED 06/24/2012: Lots of changes at WordLinx since I initially posted this. Cashout is still $10 and generally through PayPal, but WordLinx is now also paying via Payza (formerly AlertPay) with some limitations.

The referral structure has also changed, now offering $0.01 bonus per referral x10 levels, up to 10% of earnings & ad sales, up to $1.00 per upgraded referral (3 levels).

RECOMMENDED UPGRADE: $15 (beginning June 2012) for an entire year gives you many more ads to view & other benefits. Lifetime & other upgrade options are also available.
It's a pretty steady stream of ads daily, AND they also send paid e-mails. And some nice referral earnings if you can get referrals (we're going to talk about all that soon too). This may well be one I wind up upgrading on, as I know some folks who are making a nice chunk of change monthly here that way.

If you like the click sites, this is one you won't want to miss! Join WordLinx today!

Gomez PEER

Something a little different for today's moneymaker! Gomez PEER is a secure, Java-based application that runs in the background of your PC that combines the spare capacity of PCs around the world to measure the performance of Web sites, basically making use of background resources your computer doesn't use anyway.

If you are approved to become active in the program, you will be credited for your online time and work processed approximately every 15 minutes that the application is running. If you are active and your earnings are $5 or over at the end of the month, they pay you for it!

I had read lots and lots of good stuff about it from other users who are active and getting paid so I thought I would check it out, though naturally I was a little wary because I really don't like downloading and running stuff unless I'm certain it's secure. But after reading their very, very extensive FAQ, and having read so much positive from other users, I decided to try it.

I was also concerned because I have an older and getting outdated PC that is rather overloaded as it is, so I had some concerns about whether this application running in the background would slow down my system. Even though the FAQ pretty much assured that it wouldn't, I still had my doubts simply because I've had a lot of issues with my computer lately.

Alas, no worries! It doesn't slow things down at all and I rarely even notice it's there. I've now got it running on my desktop and laptop both.

Once you read the FAQ (be sure and read it thoroughly, it will answer most of your questions) and sign up, download, and install the program, you will remain in "Pending" status a while though as long as you're running the PEER, it will accrue potential earnings. They review about every 7-10 days to take on new active peers, but even in pending status you can earn money in referral bonuses for referring family and friends and get paid once you and they become active.

And if you're one of those who leaves your computer on most of the time, it can literally make money for you while you are at work, class, or asleep! Payment is monthly and (if you've made the $5 minimum) by PayPal, Moneybookers, or Alipay. You can make up to a maximum of $45 per month.

Right now they are especially looking for new members with computers/connections at all speeds in these countries: United States, China, Germany, United Kingdom, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Canada, and anywhere in South America - but it's still worth a try signing up if you are from another country not listed.

Also, they are apparently very much in need of users with dialup access at present, so if you are on dialup, that's probably a sure bet of getting approved as active right now!

I figure since it's safe, is not affecting my computers' performance (which again was a big issue with me since I have performance issues right now as it is), and is using resources of my computer that I don't generally use anyway, why not make a little extra cash with it, right? Looking forward to seeing how things pan out using the PEER.

So if this sounds interesting to you, check out Gomez PEER further & sign up if you like! And good luck!

QuickRewards

I need to get a little better organized, because I somehow accidentally stuck my link to QuickRewards in the wrong place, and just recently found it via another list of stuff I had 'cause I discovered I had earned some change through mails from QuickRewards. Oops!

QuickRewards is another one with a lot of good word of mouth and favorable comments out there on the 'Net. Some of the big pluses about it is the fact that there's a LOT of very different stuff you can do, on site and off, to earn cash and other goodies. It also has a number guessing game & a trivia game that you can play daily that I like a bunch.

There are different earnings for different things on the site - you can rack up cash, points (which you can redeem for cash in 100 point increments), and tokens (redeemable for prizes). At 100, the points will automatically turn to cash and I've watched my balance go up a couple of cents just in a day this week that way. They have paid mail and paid to click (PTC) opportunities as well.

QuickRewards has no minimum cashout by PayPal and can be requested anytime ($5-25 cashout minimum for gift certificates). Payment is usually within 24-48 hours. They also offer gift certificate options. QuickRewards members must be from the US, UK, or Canada only.

QuickRewards has been awarded the Diamond Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com.

This site is a little different from the rest and there's definitely a LOT you can do, so go check out QuickRewards today!

DonkeyMails

Today's find is a good one! DonkeyMails has a lot of the things I like best in a "get paid to" site because it has many of the laziest & easiest ways to rack up some cash - LOTS of paid emails and paid to click options - which is the way I like it best, lazy & easy! This site also has a really good reputation in the online community as one with an attentive owner & good payment history, so more pluses there!

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Minimum cashout is small - $1 minimum for PayPal and Payza, $0.01 for Liberty Reserve. You can request payout whenever and they usually pay about once a week, but definitely within 30 days. DonkeyMails has five referral levels (5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, & 1%).

No-Minimum.com

No-Minimum.com is another one that has impressed me and I've grown to like a lot in a very short time. It's also another one that has had a lot of good feedback from members about good payment history. Low minimum payouts, fast payouts, & word that a place has a good history of paying members impresses me a lot!

UPDATED 03/02/2013: There is an only $1 minimum payout via PayPal, Payza, and Liberty Reserve, with payments usually made weekly. You can request payment anytime - payment will be made within 30 days, but the site states that under normal circumstances payment are made once a week.

They also have lots of pay to click ads and other opportunities to make cash other ways besides doing just offers, and they have some games as well. I'm also getting a lot of paid emails from them already. And, they accept all international members! Six referral levels here (5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, & 1%).

So what have you got to lose? Go make some money at No-Minimum.com!

If I get a chance to this weekend, I will update on my current earnings. If not, look for that soon, and in any case, I'll be back on Monday with more new sites you can scrounge up a little extra cash on!

Have a great weekend!

AdPaid

As I've mentioned many times before, I have a particular affinity for the sites that offer paid emails and paid to click ads 'cos for someone who is into doing this the laziest and easiest ways possible (or in my case, just don't have a ton of extra spare time), those are the easiest ways to rack up a little spare change daily just by reading a few paid mails and reviewing a few ads every day for a little while. Granted, it takes a little longer for the pay to add up in those cases as opposed to paid offers and such, but it's very little work and every cent adds up and counts anyway, so what the heck, right?

So the other day I came across AdPaid, after having seen some very positive remarks about their payment history and the site in general from one of their members, and immediately I liked it. The site's laid out very well, information is easy understand - lots of things that are always big pluses about paid to do stuff sites. They also have paid to click, paid offers, and other options to wrangle up some dough. Also, within a few hours, I had already gotten several paid emails, so that impressed me further.

Another big plus for AdPaid - once you reach the minimum ($3) or more for cashout ($5 for gift certificates), you can request payment anytime and they pay within at least seven days... although they also say on the site that in most circumstances, it's within 48 hours. Excellent!

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Payment is through PayPal (e-Gold is no longer an option), or they also offer Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Best Buy gift certificates. AdPaid is open to members in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

More on AdPaid (updated info 06/13/2009):

• 6 referral levels
• Points are converted to cash monthly
• Awarded the Diamond Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com
• Online and paying since May 2004

AdPaid is fabulous and as of this update (06/13/2009), I have been paid twice by this site and it is an ongoing favorite. If you're not already a member, join AdPaid today!
