Earnings This Month: $1.25
Total Lifetime Earnings: $3.00

Yesterday, I started an account with complete uncertainty about whether the site would pay out or not after I heard countless people talking about it. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

DollarPays.com, site decked out in white and bright green colors, boasts that they pay nightly, and from what I can tell, they do. I received my payment while I was in the middle of sleeping last night.

Signing up is a relatively easy process. It only requires your e-mail, first and last name, a password, your country, and a paypal e-mail. If you have all of those things, then you're set to start making money at DollarPays.com. In case you're wondering, yes, the only payout method here is PayPal.

If you've ever visited CashCrate, you'll notice that the layout between those two sites is very similar. The only difference, which is one I'm not very fond of, is the fact that, here, there's no submit button to click to tell the site that you're done with the offer. DollarPays boasts new technology that tells the site itself when you've completed the offer. For some reason, that makes me slightly uneasy when I'm using the site.

Like many other popular online "Get Paid To" sites, this site also offers a daily survey that can be completed for money. At the moment, the survey is nonfunctional, but it's coming soon and is currently in the design process.

The referral program on DollarPays is also different from other online money making sites. Unlike the other sites where you make percentages of what your referrals are making, this site gives you twenty-five cents for each survey or offer your referral completes. Considering that most of DollarPays offers vary from fifty cents to a dollar, you're making twenty-five or fifty-percent of what your referral is doing. It's a great system that I'm very fond of.

There's quite a few offers to complete, and unlike other survey sites, this one only has free offers. There's no paid or "credit card" offers here to complete. For those who don't have the money to spend on free trials, this is a nice site for you.

It's a great site, and besides the auto-submit of the offers, I enjoy this site and plan to stay here for awhile. For the most part, I'm mostly pleased that they pay out every night instead of once a month like other sites.

Associated Content Review

Earnings Last Month: $21.72
Total Lifetime Earnings: $21.72

Have you ever wanted to be paid for your writing, but you weren't sure how to become published? Associated Content is a site that pays for articles that you write.

Associated Content is an easy-to-use site. You write an article of at least four-hundred words and then submit it for approval from the site. There are many options to write about. Any topic that you can think of can become an article. If you want to write a review for the latest movie, go ahead. If writing about the newest video game to hit stores is your thing, go right ahead.

When you submit your article, you have a couple different choices. You can either submit the article as exclusive or non-exclusive. If you submit the articles as non-exclusive, you still own the rights to post the article anywhere else you choose. If you submit it as exclusive, the article is property of Associated Content and can't be submitted at any other site.

Another choice when submitting is the fact that you can choose to submit the article to consideration for payment or just for free. One of the things most people don't know about AssociatedContent when signing up, however, is that not all articles submitted for payment will be accepted for payment. About seventy-five percent of the time, the article is declined for payment depending on different factors. If the article is very popular in search engines, it will probably be approved. If the article is a review of any recent products, the review will probably be approved.

For sure, I know that Associated Content only pays for reviews of very recently released video games. Sometimes, they accept payment for cult classic video games as well. Reviews of online "Get Paid To" sites usually are approved for payment as well.

The payment for articles can very from three dollars to ten dollars in most average cases. Some cases may be lower or higher than the average payment. Payment is paid for each individual article. Unlike most online money-making sites, there's no minimum to reach before you receive payout. Payout is done through PayPal. Your PayPal account doesn't have to be verified either.

Although this is a nice site, one of my biggest complaints is the time that it takes to approve or disapprove the articles. If an article is submitted for payment, it may take up to two weeks for approval or disapproval of the article. If it's submitted for no payment, it still may take up to three days. Considering the size and userbase of the site, it's not that much time, but when you're someone who wants to find out how your article did, it seems like a lot longer of a time.

A surprising feature from this site is that all you have to do, if an article is declined for payment, is a couple clicks to get it resent for no payment. You don't have to copy and paste the article all over again - all it takes is a couple clicks to resend the entire article for publication consideration.

Another feature of the site is the page views feature. You earn more money as your articles gain more hits. My articles have had twenty eight hits and gained four cents from it. In the long run, it's not a lot of money, but a couple cents is better than no money, right? A problem with this site is because the article-base is so large, unless you're a well-known writer, you won't receive many hits onto your articles.

One of the best things about this site is the fact that you, as the author, choose what the subject of your articles will be. Unlike other sites, this site doesn't tell you exactly what you have to write to earn payment - you get to choose.

All-in-all, if you're a good writer, AssociatedContent is a good site for publishing articles, slideshows, audio, and videos.

InboxDollars Review

Join: http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=kaycar11
Earnings Last Month: ~$5
Total Lifetime Earnings: $27.35

The latest online trend is making money through the Internet. A site that has hit it big happens to be inboxdollars.com. To be honest, I'm actually pretty attached to this site. They offer free offers to complete, daily surveys, paid e-mails, joining bonus, referrals, and the ability to play games.

Let's start with the daily surveys. At your stay at InboxDollars, daily surveys will probably be the main source of your income. Like CashCrate and TreasureTrooper, InboxDollars uses the SurveyRouter technology to assign their daily surveys. This process includes inputting information like age, sex, race, and whatnot, and SurveyRouter searches its database for any surveys that you may be qualified for. While this is a great system, it causes problems when you become members of all three sites because the criteria can only return so many surveys before it runs out. It won't be long until you're having to prioritize your daily surveys.

Another great help is the bonus you get just for joining. In order to encourage people to join, the customer is given a free five dollars straight into the account. And in case you're wondering, yes, InboxDollars actually does give you that five dollars. It truly is free money.

Another big way to earn money is reading the email that gets sent to your inbox. To be honest, I'm quite fond of the email they send to me. It's only about two to three a week - it's enough to pick up spare change, but not enough to make me want to throw my computer out the window because of spam. Another plus is that I've never received spam because of InboxDollars - they keep my email to themselves. Each email, on average, receives about three or four cents sent straight into my inbox. All I have to do is click on the graphic they send in my email which takes me to a page on InboxDollars. From there, I click on the link that says "Confirm Reading This Email" and the money is instantly placed into my account. Quite a simple system that doesn't require too much effort.

The offers leave something to be desired, though. For one, the offers to complete are separated into different categories. There's "Cash Offers", "Cash Games", Cash Surveys", and "Cash Search". "Cash Offers", also, is subdivided even farther into "All Offers", "100% FREE Offers", "Trial Offers" and "Survey Offers".

I'll start with the "Cash Offers" tab. "All Offers" just lists all of the offers, and they're even sorted by interest, such as "Credit Cards", "Gaming", "Home Business", among about ten other descriptions. Nothing special about that tab. "100% Free Offers" lists all the, well, free offers. Obviously. I've been a member at this site for six months, and there's only two pages with twelve offers on each page. Although, unlike other survey sites, InboxDollars allows you to make money online by letting these free offers range from one dollar to four dollars in payment. The Trial Offers are just as few. Those pay from four dollars to fifteen dollars, though. The "Survey Offers" pay from anywhere between fifty cents to three dollars to sign up for other survey sites, such as LightSpeed Research or the ever-famous NPD Online Research Team's site. There's only two pages of these offers as well.

The "Cash Games" is a little bit of a lie, to be honest. Sure, you earn money from playing their games, but you have to spend money to earn it. If you spend money on another gaming site online, you might as well change your gaming center to here, though, because for every dollar you spend at their arcade, they return five cents into your account. The games include "Bejeweled 2", "Scrabble Cubes", "Big Money!", "Solitaire Rush", "Dynomite", and many others. Playing on this Games site, though, requires you to set up an account, but that account will be conjoined to your InboxDollars account.

"Cash Shopping" is exactly how it seems. Unlike other sites, though, InboxDollars has an extremely high cash back rate of forty percent. Yeah, right. They advertise forty percent back on their front page, but all you have to do is look at the offers to see that the customer doesn't receive forty percent cash back in the slightest. The cash back appears to vary from .5% to 15% on the stores. InboxDollars does, despite it's downfalls, support quite a few different stores on this part of their site. Some of the stores that allow you to get cash back include Overstock, Apple Store, Delias, Alloy, Amazon, Catherines, CingularWireless, Crayola, eBooks, FootLocker, Hot Topic, KMart, Lenox, Liz Claiborne, Lucky Brand Jeans, Nike, PETCO (Where the pets go), PetsMart, Size Appeal, WalMart, among many other stores in their listing. I'd say there's over a hundred and fifty stores that InboxDollars allows cash back on.

"Cash Search" is a pretty nifty feature. Twice a day, InboxDollars allows you to use their Search function (sponsored by Snap) to search the Internet. Each time you search (to a limit of twice a day) you receive two cents. It's not much money, but after a week, those cents add up. Fourteen cents a week, a half-dollar per month. Five extra dollars per year that you didn't have before for just a couple minutes of your time daily.

Another thing about InboxDollars that seems to "hook" people in is the fact that they claim that you receive five dollars per referral. That claim is true to an extent. If you read the fine print, you'll realize that you, as the referrer, don't receive anything until that referral reaches their first payout and receives payment.

That leads me to my next point of interest. Payout on InboxDollars happens to be thirty dollars. The only way to receive payment from InboxDollars is to receive a check. Checks, however, require a three dollar "shipping fee" and takes about two months for the check to "process" and reach your adress. The other way that InboxDollars allows payment is to order "Banner Impressions" or "Gold Membership".

Gold Membership does the same thing that other "premium" accounts do at other websites. Gold Membership here allows for any unreferred member to become your own referral. When you consider how the referral system works, however, the seventeen dollars that Gold Membership costs in order to buy it isn't worth it. You'll probably never receive your money back because most of the referrals that are brought into the site probably won't stay. I'd just save your money and make the ten more dollars that it would require to reach payout.

I've already received my first check of $27.35, but it took me about six months to earn the cash required for my first payout. I requested the check on May 18 and it was delivered to my house on July 9.

I recommend this site, but only to someone who doesn't want their money in an instant form. If you're just fine with only doing the daily surveys and waiting for the emails, then this is the site for you. They actually pay out, and it's a nice chuck of change you didn't happen to have before.

CashCrate Review

Join: http://www.cashcrate.com/209412
Payment Last Month: $10.19
Total Lifetime Payment: $41.69
Proofs: Are at the bottom. For other payment proofs, see here.

With a slogan that reads “get paid to complete offers!” a person has to wonder if CashCrate.com actually makes earning money as easy as they make it seem. Many people experience skepticism when deciding whether or not to join a site that claims that they can make money for free. To be honest, I can understand their skepticism. For the reason, I'm going to write a review on the true labor that goes on to earn a dollar at CashCrate.com.

Before I start the review, I'm going to say that payment is possible from this site. It isn't the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, but if the customer decides to spend enough time during the month on CashCrate, they'll be met with a check in the mail in the middle of the next month.

First off, there's the payment options. There's only one. Not much for options, huh? CashCrate only pays out by check. Their minimum payout happens to be ten dollars. Although they only offer one payment option, their claim on their front page still rings true: “Unlike other companies, we will never charge you any fees.” CashCrate doesn't charge any “processing” fee for receiving your check, so you'll receive all the money that you earned. If you're worried about other people knowing what you're doing online, the check comes marked as from “Kings Media Company” so there's no outward signs that it's a check from making money online.

Now, if you actually want to make some real money, there's a couple options in order to multiply your earnings on CashCrate. You can do the daily surveys, refer other members, and complete the offers that CashCrate lists on their site. When you join up, there's about fourteen pages of offers with twenty offers per page. That equals two-hundred and forty offers. I'd estimate that about fifty of those offers require a credit card.

While we're on the subject of the offers, some go through and some do not. It's a very annoying process to go through. For one, to complete offers on CashCrate, I'd recommend using Internet Explorer. For some reason, the site doesn't seem to like Firefox. For another, I'd also recommend having two or three e-mails addresses that you use purely for doing offers on CashCrate. Many of the offers that this site lists go through the same company which will rarely “accept” both offers if you use the same e-mail address. For the best results, switch between those e-mail addresses when signing up for offers. I'd say it's about a fifty percent chance for an offer to be approved for the credit.

Most of the free offers vary from twenty cents to one dollar and fifty cents per every free offer that only requires you to put in your details. For the offers that require a cell phone number, those vary from two dollars to four dollars. If you choose to do the offers that require a credit card (all of those offers are clearly marked with a graphic that looks like the Mastercard logo), those vary from ten dollars to forty dollars. When it comes to the money the offers pay out, it's about average.

Referrals aren't difficult to get, and I love the referral system. When you first join, you're considered at the bronze level on the referral system. Being at the bronze level means that you make twenty-five percent of your first level referrals and you make ten percent of your referral's referrals. If you have a lot of money, CashCrate is obviously the way to make money. When you reach fifty active referrals, your membership level will go up to silver. This means that your percentages earned will go up. As an added incentive, for every member that reaches the minimum payout, you will receive an extra three dollars.

If you decide to do the daily survey, you will earn eighty cents per completed survey. If you do the daily survey every day, you'll receive twenty-four dollars – way over the minimum payout. The problem with daily surveys comes in the fact that a survey isn't available every day. This site uses the SurveyRouter system which is the same system that InboxDollars and TreasureTrooper use. If you happen to use either of those sites for their daily surveys, it may create even more problems on finding daily surveys that are available for your fulfillment. If you're only joining the site for the daily surveys, I'd suggest going to InboxDollars instead because InboxDollars pays a dollar per cent completed.

Another added bonus, for every dollar you earn, you earn a point on their system. CashCrate offers prizes for points such as gift cards, iPods, and gaming consoles. The minimum point prize available is for two-hundred points.

In conclusion, as long as you know how to go about getting offers to submit, this is a great site to make some extra money for only a couple hours a month. I've been using this site for three months, and I've made roughly forty dollars and thirty five points. I don't have any referrals, though, so if you have a lot of friends, you'll be earning a lot more money than I happen to be. Either way, it's my favorite “get paid to” site I'm a member of, and I recommend it to anyone who happens to read this article.

Start of an Era

Just recently, I've received my check from CashCrate.com for $16.80. This is my second check. My first check was around fifteen dollars. I'll have proofs as soon as I get my camera back. I'm also expecting a check from InboxDollars soon. Recently, I've also signed up for AdBux, Fairy Tale Treasure, and AssociatedContent, so I'll have reviews on those sites soon.

This is a blog I'll be using to post my proofs and my reviews of the sites around the internet that claim you can make money. I'll be trying out different sites, and I'll post proofs when I receive them of my time spent online. I'm also hoping to submit this blog to "blog earning sites" at some point.
