In General

Now this is not a blog about how I make an over exaggerated amount of money online from barely doing anything. No. This is a blog about my experience for searching for ways to make money from home and which I find to be good. I’ve tried everything from paid surveys to pay to click and only a few things has made me some sort of residual income. You can’t get rich off of this! Stop having dreams about making millions in a day! Those thoughts cloud your mind and cause you to pass by actual opportunities such as the ones I’m about to speak about. There are ways you can make a lot of money or even a living from the net but it’s called some type of business not just doing a few surveys here and there. With what I’m about to talk about you can bring home a good couple hundred a month(of course meaning you worked at it) and a couple hundred a month can’t hurt anyone so I say let’s get to it.

I’ve tried many GTP’s, paid surveys, PTR’s, PTC’s, and only few have proven that they have a system that allows them to be around long-term/forever and you can actually make decent money other than pennies. The ones I’m going to talk about are my top favorites for specific reasons that I will tell you about in a minute. There are many out there that are good and actually pay but they don’t have a system that will allow them to be around long-term or there are requirements that make it difficult to cash out.

Cashcrate

My biggest favorite GPT is Cashcrate. Mainly because it is one of the most popular GPT sites having over 990,000 members and still growing. It's free to sign up and it's been around for many years already and is showing that this site has potential to be around for good and not unexpectedly shut down leaving you unpaid and losing your second method of income. Cashcrate has many types of offers that you can complete for money and there is an entire section of absolutely free offers. It means you don’t ever have to use your credit card. Just fill out surveys and you’re good. Cash crate also is good with its offers crediting on time and is quick to refill its offers when they run low.

Their referral system is where you make your big bucks though. Don’t worry; getting referrals to this site should be easy because of its popularity of being one of the best GPT sites. When you sign up a person you earn 20% of your level 1 referrals. There is also money coming in second level. That means anyone who signs up under your referrals; you will earn 10% of their earnings. When a referral gets to the $10 minimum you get an automatic $3 bonus. After you pull in a certain amount of referrals, the percentage increases up to 30%. This is why Cashcrate is known to be the best GPT site. Your earning potential is unlimited.

Cashcrate Ranks
Bronze - 0 Active Referrals - 20% First Level, 10% Second Level
Silver - 50 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 10% Second Level
Gold - 150 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 15% Second Level
Platinum - 300 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 15% Second Level
Elite - 500 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 20% Second Level

When you hit the $20 minimum which you can change to be higher but most leave it at $20, your money will be mailed to you on the 20th of the month following your cash out. This means if you earn $100 in June, you will be receiving your money around the 20th July. If you reach the minimum, your checks are automatically mailed to you and from my experience they do come on time.

The best feature of Cashcrate is their member bonuses. Usually every month there is some type of bonus that you can participate in to get extra money or great prizes.

Cashcrate has added another new feature called Cashcrate games. You can enter tournaments using the extra points that you are given. If you win, you get even more points that could be traded in for gift cards and other prizes. This is means you're getting paid to play games.

There is also a help forum on Cashcrate and people are there to answer any and all questions. You also have the ability to send messages to their support or your referrals. Their support system is also another plus to why this GPT is doing so well. They actually HAVE a LIVING support system. Not automated messages from robots or nonexistent like many other sites. They respond to questions quickly and resolve problems in the same manner. Also if there are any problems with the site they will announce it so that you’ll know ahead of time and not get stuck freaking out that an offer didn’t credit or your check is late.

This is why I feel Cascrate is one of the best and I recommend it to anyone.

Deal Barbie Pays Fast

My second favorite is Deal Barbie Pays Fast. The sites layout isn’t the prettiest but its quality quickly overrides its lack in decoration. The site is easy to navigate and again you can do only free offers and still bring in decent money. Offers refill quickly and credit the same way. The support is excellent. Any problems reported are dealt with properly and efficiently. This is another site where you make your dough from referrals.

This is their referral system.
1st level referrals- 15% of Cash
2nd level referrals- 3% of Cash
3rd level referrals- 2% of Cash

Also they have one of the best minimum pay outs ever; just $1. You can make $1 in a couple of seconds. They pay through PayPal and you get your money within 72 hours. Deal Barbie Pays Fast is a new GTP but it is a part of a stable GTP network so it will be around and if it keeps up at its pace that it is now, it will be here to stay for good.

Squishy Cash

My last favorite is SquishyCash. Squishy Cash has their site so that it has a casino theme to make it interesting. You can be paid daily or monthly and choose your method of payment from check, PayPal or gift card. Along with completing their offers you get chips that you can save up for prizes. Almost every month there are contests and bonuses which some are easy to take part in such as an activity bonus; you get paid every time you login. The minimum payout is $20, the offers clear easily, the offers refill quickly, the support is excellent and of course their referral system allows you to make money without having to do anything but bring in others.

Squishy Cash Referral Program:
1st Level Referrals- 10% Commission on Earnings
2nd Level Referrals- 5% Commission on Earnings
3rd Level Referrals- 2% Commission on Earnings

Writing for Money

Another way I have made money from home is article writing. As I am not a professional, I don’t have a resume or college degree in it so a lot of the big league writing sites I had to pass by but there are some good ones for those of us that have decent grammar usage. This one I use because of its payment options.

Associated content.

Now don’t expect to write 5 deep articles and get paid over $800. The pay is minimal here on a basis. The upfront pay is usually between 3-7$, on average $3 but all of those $3 can add up in a month and come in handy especially if you are a quick writer and you actually write something of use and not just about how fun your vacation in Florida was. I’ve heard of people being offered up to $40 for their articles but of course that article was written very well. Don’t expect a crap job done for an article to get you much. The better the article, the better the pay basically. Not only do you get an upfront payment, you get paid by how much traffic the article gets. So if you have created a fan base for your work, you can get a bit extra because of them reading your work. So you have two ways of making money at the same time. You can clearly tell that the site is more geared towards its amateur writers so I wouldn’t suggest a professional bothering with this site unless they were looking for quick and easy cash. They pay to your PayPal account usually within a week and they tend to accept articles within that time span as well so they are a bit quick about getting things done.

Any article can get accepted as long as it is in good taste, long enough and has very few spelling/grammatical errors. You can solve this easily by prewriting in some sort of a writing software program. Usually they reject articles because they’re too short or too many errors. They aren’t really picky about what topics you choose and there is a wide variety of things to write about. I’ve spoken to others that had complaints about the site not being well but after reading some of their articles I could see why they were having problems. You do have to put effort in! You can’t slap any nonsense together and expect to get paid. You do have to put some thought into it. After you become an active member for awhile and have a nice collection of articles, your pay raises so your work does pay off in the long run. No you can’t use this as your primary job and expect to become wealthy but you can bring in a couple hundred a month if you take the time to write decent articles.

Under Construction

This is just to announce that more will be comming such as proof of payment, how to get referrals, where to look for referrals, any new opportunities that I approve of and so forth. Stay tuned for more. Until then, check out what I have so far. Thanks.
