Updated GPT list

I’ve been trying out a lot of new sites lately, and here is my updated list of keepers. I’m signed up with other sites not listed here, and as soon as they pay me, I will add them to the list. All of these sites are pretty similar, so I won’t go into individual detail. Have fun!

Some helpful tips for GPT:
1. Go to http://www.ccleaner.com/ and download the free cookie cleaner. You need to clear your cookies in between all of your offers so that you can increase your odds of offers crediting. Otherwise, just go to Tools, Internet Options, and Delete Cookies.

2. To complete offers faster, Roboform is awesome. You can download it free by going to http://www.roboform.com/. It will automatically fill in your info when you click on it.

3. Use your real information when signing up for offers, and don't complete the same offer on two different sites. This is fraud, and a good way to get your accounts deleted. These sites have plenty of offers and plenty of money-making opportunities without you having to double up on offers.

4. If you go for the credit-card-required offers, remember to keep a record of the offers, dates, and dates by which they have to be cancelled. This way, you won't get charged for something you planned on cancelling!

5. Go to http://www.hotmail.com/ and http://www.yahoo.com/ and sign up for some free e-mail accounts. Keep the e-mail IDs simple, or write them down so you can remember them. Use these accounts to sign up for different offers. This will increase the number of offers that credit for you. (When you initially sign up with the GPT sites, you will use your main e-mail address for all of them. You can use the other e-mail accounts just for completing offers. Don't worry, this is not fraud because all of the e-mail accounts belong to you.)

6. Don't forget about the daily surveys! They aren't worth a lot indidually, but they really add up if you remember to do them every day.

The Beauty of Organization

When I first started out with surveys, my only form of record keeping was the old e-mail messages I kept in my inbox. Oh yes, and my mental notes!

Needless to say, I constantly forgot about surveys I had taken and product tests that needed completing. When you are signed up with such a big list of companies, it is nearly impossible to remember everything. Now I am much more organized and much less stressed out.

I recommend keeping a record of everything. Whether you do it on paper or on the computer is up to you. Excel experts, go crazy and create that spreadsheet. For my own records, I keep a handwritten notebook that contains the following sections:

  • A list of all of the companies I am signed up with
  • Completed surveys - make separate columns for the date, company name, survey name/number, incentive, and whether or not the incentive was credited to your account (legit survey sites are very good about paying - but mistakes do happen, and it's helpful when you can let them know exactly what survey you took and when, just in case there's an issue)
  • Requested payments - make separate columns for the date you requested payment, the amount, method (check, paypal, etc.), and date received.
  • Automatic Payments - for the sites that automatically mail out your incentive after completion of a project. Make separate columns for the amount, method, and date received. (Don't forget to go back to your Completed Surveys section and mark that one as paid!)
  • Notes - for the random stuff that you need to remember. I mainly use this section for the product tests. I always log the date I received the product, the date by which the survey needs to be taken, and whether or not I need to return anything to the company.

An absolute must for Get-Paid-To record keeping:

  • If you are getting into the GPT world and you start doing free or low cost trials that require credit card, you must keep a record of the offer, the date, and the date the offer has to be cancelled by. Otherwise, you might end up paying more than you bargained for!

A Good Paid-To-Click

Mora Traffic

I'm generally wary of PTC sites because it takes such a long time to earn anything. However, this site I came across recently is turning out to be quite the keeper. If you don't mind your inbox getting full of e-mail ads, definitely sign up with this one. I have been a member for two days, and my earnings are above $2.00. Cashout is at $5.00, and payment is by Paypal.
