I started investigating get paid to or GPT sites as a
natural extension of paid survey websites. While they are
different, there are also some similarities such as the low
barrier to entry and the fact that some GPT sites also host
surveys. There are a lot of get paid to sites out there
I've found, but some are certainly more reputable than
others, especially those that pioneered the industry like
Cash Crate.
I thought it would be helpful to put together an
introduction to get paid to sites which are a long proven
method for making money online and are especially useful
for those who are unfamiliar with building websites or
selling online.
Introduction to Get Paid to Sites:
You can think of get paid to websites as a middleman
between you and advertisers. The advertising companies pay
GPT sites to generate leads and send potential customers to
them to see their services. The GPT sites then pass along
a portion of their earnings to you when you visit their
advertisers and perform some action. These actions can be
any of the following:
• Visiting a website and registering to take surveys
• Opening a free user account on the website
• Reading email advertisements
• Referring a friend to the website
• Purchasing a refundable trial subscription, service or
product
• Signing up for a newsletter
These are the most common actions, but there can be others
as well. After doing these offers you get paid from the
GPT site once they verify your approval for the offer. For
example, you may get paid $20 for signing up for a free
magazine subscription trial.
As long as you make sure to cancel your subscription before
the trial period is over you get paid $20 for free. You
can make a lot of money with get paid to sites and you can
make substantially more if you have a credit card that you
can use to sign up for free trials.
Of course there are also offers available to those without
credit cards although they generally pay less. These
offers may pay anywhere from $0.50 to $2.00 apiece and with
the more established GPT sites they can really add up.
Why Should I Use Get Paid to Websites?
The main draw of get paid to websites is that you can make
money with them even if you don't have your own website or
any computer related skills. All you need is the
willingness to spend some time completing offers online.
If you have a webpage for referrals and a credit card to
use you can make even more money with GPT sites, but it's
not necessary. It is also helpful to use a spreadsheet of
some kind to keep track of completed offers and payments
due when you are active with GPT sites.
You can make significant money through get paid to
websites. Recent entries on blogs and forums that I've
read indicate $100-200 as a minimum is quite easy and some
people are making in excess of $2000 a month. Judging from
what I already know about get paid to websites these
figures are accurate and you can do the same with a little
effort.
Who Can Use Get Paid To Websites?
Most GPT sites are restricted to U.S. users although
recently there have been some that are opened up to
international users. Even so, there still aren't many
international offers although this is getting better for
people in the U.K. and Australia. Overall your best
chances of making money with GPT sites is if you are in the
U.S.
One way you can get around this restriction is by signing
up and then focusing your efforts on referring other U.S.
based users and earning affiliate commissions based on
their activity.
Are GPT Sites Scams?
You will always find scams on the internet there's no doubt
of that and the get paid to industry is no exception.
However, there are many legitimate and credible GPT sites
out there that are being run by responsible business people
that will listen to your concerns and will pay on time
every month.
My advice would be to stick with the established get paid
to sites because you know their track record of paying
users. As with other areas on the internet be cautious of
new sites and work within the GPT rules and you'll be fine.
Another recommendation is to get a throwaway email address
and phone number to avoid sales calls and junk mail you'll
receive from aggressive marketers.
Wrapping Up Get Paid to Websites
My suggestion would be to stick with one or maybe two of
the major get paid to sites. The reason is that there is
quite a bit of overlap and duplication among the sites and
that could result in your not getting paid for legitimate
offers you've completed.
Aside from that it can become quite difficult and
cumbersome to keep track of multiple sites, offers and
potential payments on an ongoing basis. If you can take
advantage of it then definitely sign up for all the
programs and use their affiliate programs, but stick to
just a few for completing offers.
Most get paid to sites have very generous affiliate
programs and you can make some outstanding recurring
passive income once you build a solid active user base.
These active users will then recruit other users building
your passive income even further.
I receive a nice steady monthly income from GPT sites
without even logging in or using them just based on
referrals. This is something that anyone can duplicate for
themselves to make a steady monthly income online.
