Snap Dollars - an easy way to earn quick cash

SnapDollars.com -- This site is very easy to make money fast. It is easy to navigate and very well-presented. You receive $5 upon sign up. You get paid to:

• Complete all different kinds of offers - easy instructions to follow. Earn up to $50 per offer. They have: 100% free offers, free trial offers, and survey offers(up to $10). You just choose what you want from the drop down menu "Offer Types ->".
• Receive paid emails - Earn up to 20 cents per email. Just wait for the email to arrive and click on the link. Then click on the link "Get Paid for Reading this Email" (no timers)
• Play - you need to deposit money, I would ignore this option
• Shop - you can save up to 40% buying things you already want
• Play Free sweeps - you get free tickets to enter sweeps - and try to win :)

When you reach the minimum payout of $30, choose "Pay me!" under drop down menu "My Account ->". A check is sent in the mail.

And of course it's FREE to sign up!

AlertPay

I recommend joining AlertPay (in addition to PayPal) as there are many money-making sites that don't accept PayPal and AlertPay is your next best option.
They offer three different kinds of FREE accounts: Personal, Premium and Secure.
They charge a fee only to receive payments, not to send. However the Personal accounts charge a fixed fee of $1.00 per transaction, while the Premium charges 2.5% + $0.25 per transaction.

This actually means, that if you are mainly using your AlertPay account to RECEIVE payments, it is actually cheaper if you upgrade to a free Premium account as long as you only request payments for $30 or less! Say you earn $15, the fee is then 2.5% of $15 ($0.375) plus $0.25, which is only $o.625. If you have a personal account the fee would always be $1.00.

Therefore I strongly advise you to join a FREE PREMIUM account and request payouts before $30.
[Your other option would be to use a Personal account and wait till your payouts are high before cashing out - that way you'll have fewer transaction fees. (So, wait to earn $60 then cashout all at once ($1.00 fee) rather than doing it in bunches of $30 or less ( - $2.00 or more total fees).)
But if you're like me and can't wait that long then I suggest signing up for (or upgrading to) the Premium account. The bottom line is: if you are generally going to be making payouts under $30, then definitely upgrade to the free premium account. ]
(A personal account also has receiving limits of $400 per month and $2000 per year, whereas Premium is unlimited.)
REMEMBER, UPGRADING IS FREE!!

Paid to Fill out Surveys

Here are several survey sites that actually pay you money, reward you with points that you cash out or where you can win prizes, for filling out surveys.
There are some survey registries that you have to pay to register for, but I wouldn't suggest it as you never know whether they will have good opportunities for you - it's not worth the risk. Definitely research thoroughly before buying anything!
I will concentrate on free sites that reward you with cash, rather than with sweepstakes entries or prizes.

1. LightSpeed Panel -- Available to US, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands, Australia. After signing up, you will receive emails whenever a survey is available. You receive points and entries into draws for completing each survey. Points can be converted to cash via PayPal. You can request payment when you've reached at least 575 points ( = $5.00) or 1150 points (=$10.00) To request payment, click on 'rewards' and then choose 'paypal' ($5 or $10).
Here is proof of my payment:

2. Pure Profile -- Visit the site often and answer questions via a "next button". You just have to click on the button, answer the question and continue as surveys and offers become available. The more questions you answer, the more surveys become available to you. Your pureprofile account is credited with money (not points) when you complete surveys and just VIEW paid offers from businesses.

You always get paid something, even if you cannot complete a survey.

Minimum payout is $25, and cash is deposited into your bank account by clicking on "Redemptions" under the "?+Pure Profile" tab.

3. Global Test Market -- Credited in points so that international users can sign up. Points have the value of 1 point = 5 cents (US dollars). You can redeem points once you have earned at least 1000 points (= $50). Payment is sent via check, in your local currency. Surveys are sent to your email when available, with the specified points.

4. Opinion Outpost -- For US and Canada residents only. Credited in points with 10 points = $1. Surveys are paid between $1 - $10. Expect 4-8 surveys per month. Click here for more information.

Paid to click on ads

There are two kinds of websites that will pay you to click on ads that are provided and paid for by advertisers:

Paid to Click - where you are required to log in to the site and access the links to click on ads

Paid to Read Emails - where the links are sent almost daily to your email address, reminding you to click on the ads. These kind often have available ads less frequently, unless they pay only a tiny percentage of a cent - in which case they will bombard you with emails every few minutes and it will take an eternity to earn even 5 cents.

I will only put on links to sites that pay about 1 cent or more per click. Some may in addition provide ad links that pay half or quarter of a cent, but the timers for those ads will also be shorter.

If you have a blog/website...

If you already own your own blog or website, then here are a few money-making tips for your site.

PAID FOR WEBSITE VIEWS - NO CLICKS NECESSARY:
First of all, there are some things you can add that pay you every time someone views your site. They don't even have to click on anything!

1. GimmeLink.com -- NEW!!
This is so easy, and you don't even have to do anything to earn money!
All you do is sign up, then once you've logged in, scroll down the page to 'Affiliates' where your statistics will be displayed, and you will see something like "Your GimmeLink Website Card code to put into any webpage or blog is below..." After the words 'BEGIN BELOW', just copy the HTML and paste it onto your site. This site puts a little card on your website and you earn even more money if people click on the links, however, you also earn money each time your page is viewed (the card MUST be visible though) and although it's a small amount, it quickly adds up!

2. Pay-Per-Play -- NEW!!!
This site starts in February and after pasting some HTML on your website, it will play a 5-second recorded advertisement each time someone views your site. Again, you earn money every time someone views your site and hears the 5 second ad which actually relates to the material on your page.
Click "Partner Login" near the top right-hand corner of the page to log in. Then click on "Add additional website URL" to add your site or blog. Click on "My Code" and copy the HTML code and paste it on your site according to the instructions there.


GET TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE:
Next, if you want to get more traffic to your site, try using some of the traffic exchange sites below. You simply add your website URL and surf other people's sites to earn credits for your site to be viewed. The more you surf, the more your site will be surfed. You can surf several sites at once, using tabs in Mozilla Firefox and minimise it while you surf automatically.

IMPORTANT: If you have ADSENSE on your site or blog, always remove it before adding your site to a traffic exchange. Otherwise your adsense account will be deleted.

1. Pure Auto Traffic -- You can add up to 2 sites. Requires log-in to start surfing.
Click on "Website Profile" to add your site details. Then from "Home", click on your surf link (highlighted after the words 'Click this link to surf instantly for points') to start surfing.

2. eCash Traffic -- Add up to 10 sites. 5 second timer per page surfed. No log-in required to start surfing - just copy the auto-surfing link and paste it into your browser. Click here for more details.



PAID FOR CLICKS FROM YOUR SITE:
The following sites place ads on your website and you get paid every time one of your visitors clicks on an ad.

1. BidVertiser -- You simply paste an HTML code into your web pages and ads will instantly start appearing. They pay either by check, or instantly through PayPal with a minimum of $10, within 30 days after the end of each calendar month. Advertisers bid against each other for your ad space, with the highest bidders displayed in order to generate the maximum revenue at any given time.

2. Google Adsense matches ads to your site's content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them. Advertisers can also bid to appear on your site on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) basis. Both CPC and CPM bids compete to ensure that you optimize your ad revenue. They offer payment in US dollar checks everywhere, as well as local currency options and Electronic Funds Transfer in a select number of countries.

Paid To Read Emails

These sites send emails direct to your email inbox as often as the ads become available. They send you links to click on, or else direct you to their site to click on the links there, and once again you have to wait for the timer to finish before closing the page and having your account credited.

Hits4Pay -- $0.02 per email. Receive $10 just for signing up. Minimum payout is $25.
The emails you receive direct you to your account to log in. You will see an ad and to be credited you have to go to the bottom of the page and click on the words "click here" or "visit website" (or similar). The page will load, the timer will start and when done a bar at the top will inform you that you've earned $0.02 and click to view more ads.
When your account reaches $25 or more on the 1st of any month, your balance is cleared and a check is mailed to you by the 15th of that month. You can view payments by going to drop down menu "My Account" and clicking on "Payment History". To instead see how much you currently have on your account, click on "View Commissions" (also under 'My Account'). To check if there are ads waiting to be read, go to "Internal Mailbox" > "New Paid Ads".

DealsNCash -- works exactly the same way as Hits4Pay, except you receive $5 for signing up.

Email Pays U -- is another site paying either 2 cents or 2 points per email. Accumulated points can be converted to cash. Earn $10 for signing up. Click on the link in your email and wait till the message changes to "You have been credited for reading this email!" There are also Paid-to-Click ads on the site and paid to sign up for offers available. You will have an inbox in your account as well that has more emails and you click on 'click for credit' to get paid for the email. The first payout is $50 and after that payout is $15. You are sent a check in the mail ($1 processing fee is deducted.)
When you want to log in, there are a lot of ads on the page after clicking 'member log in' and you need to scroll all the way down to the words in green, 'Log In Here'.

CashMoneyEmail --

Some sites I WOULD'NT recommend (I added the links in case you want to join anyway):
-ClickAddicts (earned only $0.11 so far)
-Heavenly Mail (earned $0.16 so far - $0.0025 per email, $5 payout)
-Paying Cash (earned $0.09 so far)
-Get Paid Mail (earned $0.16)
-Gain Pay

These sites pay you only a fraction of a cent and fill up your inbox with messages unless you choose to have the emails only go to your account on the site. A lot of the emails are only for points which are worth even less. They become very time-consuming and money ads up very slowly, however they DO seem to be legitimate. It's up to you, but I'd leave these till after you've tried some better ones.

Paid To Click (PTC)

Here you will find a list of websites that are free to join, and pay you to click on ads every day. You have to log on to the website each day, (some sites update a few times a day) and click on the links, then wait for the timer to expire and the money is put into your account! Simple!

I will only list sites that pay around 1 cent per click or more, have low payouts and lots of clicks daily.

For these, you'll need to remember to go on as often as you wish to - no reminders will be sent to you. It would be a good idea to add the sites to your favourites list. You'll make even more money if you can find some referrals to add. For more information check out the FAQ page on any site from which you need more help. (Alternatively leave your comments here.)

If you haven't already, I recommend you join AlertPay to recieve your payments. It is secure, free to join, and most PTC sites are currently accepting it. You will be using your credit card or bank account through AlertPay, but in a safe and secure manner over the internet. (Paypal has recently stopped allowing PTC sites to process payments through them.)
More info about AlertPay here.

It's a good idea to sign up for a few of these, view the different sites at the same time, and watch the money slowly add up.

Although 1 cent seems very little, it quickly ads up and you'll find that you receive your payment in no time!

1. Daily Clicks -- This one is my favourite. Each click is worth $0.01, and there are usually at least 20 links every day. The minimum payout is $10.
Once you have signed up for the free account, you need to log in each day, and click on the link at the top "View Ads". There you will find the available clicks of the day. Simply click on each one in turn, and wait for the site to load and the 30 second timer to expire. Once it is done it will say at the top, "Done" and have either $ or X next to it -- if you have already clicked on the link that day or if you click on a link while another one is still going, you won't earn the money. That's why it's important with all the PTCs to only click on one link at a time from each PTC site. (But you can have several different PTC sites going at the same time.) You can click on the same link after 24 hours.
To see your money adding up, click on "members" at the top of the page, and your statistics will be displayed at the bottom of the page. As soon as you’ve earned at least $10, you can press Cashout and recieve your payment! Currently they can pay only through AlertPay.

2. Bux.to -- Very similar to Daily Clicks - also a great site. Each click worth $0.01 and lots of links available every day. Minimum payout is $10, 30 second ad timers.
After signing up, log in and click on "Surf Ads" to start earning. The same rules apply as above, but you will instead see either a green tick or a cross to show you whether you've earned for the click. "My Stats" will show you how you're going, and 'cashout' will lead you to the payment page.

3. Bux.lt "TheBux" -- $0.01 per click. 10 or more ads daily. 30 second timers. Click here for more info.

4. Just Click -- $0.01 per click. Around 10 ads daily. 30 second timers. A green tick or red X shows you whether you're successful. Click on "View Ads" to see the links, and "My Stats" to see your stats. Minimum payout is $10. They are currently accepting PayPal.

5. DevClix --- $0.01 per click. At least 6 ads daily. 20 second timers! $10 minimum payout. Payments via AlertPay.

6. Clix4Coins -- $0.02 per click!! They may occasionally have 1 cent or 3 cent ads too. At least 5 ads per day. Minimum payout of $20. Payments currently via AlertPay. 30 second timers. Click on "View Ads" to start earning. They also have 'registration ads' where you have to sign up for offers and you earn extra.

7. Hits4Bux -- Has at least 5 clicks per day. Currently it is $0.005 per click, but they hope to revert back to 1 cent soon. $10 minimum payout. 30 second timers.
Click on "Surf Ads" to start earning and "Stats" to see your current statistics.

8. Clix Sense -- Payouts received by mailed check by the 10th of each month if your total earnings were at least $10 in the previous month. $0.01 per click usually. Click "Get Paid to Browse Ads" on the side menu to start clicking.

9. Turbo Bux -- Green clicks worth $0.01 with 30 second view, purple clicks worth $0.005 with 10 sec view, Blue clicks worth $0.002 with 3 sec view. Ad links should appear when you log in; otherwise click on "Surf Ads".


Don't forget to start referring friends with your referral link once you've signed up!

Read This First

First, a bit of general advice. What I will post here is not going to earn you thousands of dollars, (certainly not in the beginning anyway) just a little extra cash to help on the side. There are innumerable websites out there promising you lots of money every month, for just a 'small' sum of money amounting to $97, or $50 or a few hundred dollars... The vast majority of these, though are SCAMS!! As soon as you see a site that starts repeating itself down the page, and adding "but that's not all" deals along the way, showing you payouts, etc. it is almost certainly about to ask you to pay some money to start off.

My advice is to NEVER pay online to earn money, unless you have thoroughly checked out the site and heard from numerous trustworthy people who have actually earned money on it.
There are lots of free sites out there, and you will never have to pay a cent to earn a bit of cash! And why should you?
A good way to find out if a site is a scam is by typing in the address followed by 'scam' on a search engine like google.
And remember not every money-making technique works for everyone. There are lots of things that some people find really useful, while others just drown in it.

Never open more than one account on the same site per household/computer/email address or your account will most likely be terminated - this applies for almost any money making site.

I'll be listing a few different kinds of sites on which you can "make ezy money" and you can experiment and pick and choose what you like the best. Good Luck!

Welcome

I've been searching all over the internet for some easy ways of making a bit of extra cash. And I've come across a lot of scams, and a very few good websites, that let you do this. On this blog I'll be sharing the good and the bad that I've discovered so far, updating it regularly with what I continue to find. I hope it turns out to be useful for you in your own little online money-making ventures and I welcome your comments and questions! To all our success!
