introduction

‘earn money to read emails!’
‘get paid to take surveys!’
‘complete x offers and earn $y!’

it all sounds too good to be true, right?

it isn’t. but it takes a bit of work, and the right attitude. some things i’ve learned right off the bat:

* GPT [get paid to] sites are not meant to replace a full-time job. they’re much better suited for a couple of extra bucks here, some lunch money there. these sites typically pay a few cents to read an email, a dollar or two to sign up for something…the money does indeed add up, but not nearly rapidly enough to earn a living.
* don’t spread yourself too thin. lots of offers you complete and ads you click will be for similar sites, offering similar payouts. but the more GPT sites you sign up for, the less time you have for each site, and therefore the less money you’ll earn per site. choose a handful of websites, and concentrate on those.
* patience is a virtue. clicking on ads and reading emails pay instantly, but in very small amounts that add up over time. offers and surveys pay larger amounts, but take a while to credit to your account, and take up a few minutes each. thus, it takes time to reach the cashout limit and get your money. [another reason not to make it a full-time job!]

i’m unemployed, so for most of the day i’m online with nothing better to do than click, read, and fill out forms. someone with a full-time job may only be able to squeeze in an hour a day. in either case, i maintain that these sites truly do pay you to read emails and take surveys. it all depends on how much time you put into it, how patient you are, and how realistically you see the outcome.
