Well, I didn't win the contest. I was a little confused about the actual start and stop time for the contest. It stopped at midnight EST and I am on MT time. But oh well, I'll be sure to pay more attention next time. The good news though is that I completed about 50 offers and made at least $65 bucks!. All I did was freebies too!
Not to be corny, but I really love this site. Not only is it the highest paying GPT site that I know of, it is totally cool. The site owner Christina always has contests going on. Like today's contest is that for every 10 offers you complete you get an extra $3.75. Not bad at all. Plus if you complete the most offers you get some prizes of money or signs. What are signs?? Glad you asked...signs are kind of like bonus points that you get whenever you complete an offer. Some offers give you 1 sign, some give you 7 signs, etc. There are prizes for collecting signs too. Right now I'm working on collecting 800 signs so I can get an Ipod Shuffle. I figure I'll have it within the next month. I'll be sure to post pics too.
Anyway, I'm heading over to Deal Barbie to try to win this contest and earn some more $$.
Most of the GPT programs have "freebie" offers. These are offers that do not require a credit card. They do not pay a lot (anywhere from .10 to several dollars) but take very little time to complete...anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes in my experience. Doing freebies is a very quick and easy way to increase your earnings...especially if you are unable to or do not wish to use a credit card. Or prehaps you want to start off with free offers and then work you way up to trial offers after you've received your first payment. The earning potential with freebies is probably more than you would think. I earn at least $200 a month from them and the potential is even more. The following are some helpful tips to assist you in making the most of the "freebie" offers.
First, be sure to set up several email accounts using Gmail. If you need an invitation let me know and I will try to help.
Be sure to clear your cookies between every freebie offer.
When filling out the freebie forms make sure you use accurate information. Lying about your name/address etc will risk your account being placed on hold and your earnings revoked. You shouldn't worry about getting a lot of junk mail through the postal service. I've been very active with gpt programs for over 6 months and I might get 1-2 extra pieces of junk mail per week. However, the email accounts you use on the freebie offers will get hit with a lot of junk/spam. This is why you never use your main email account when submitting freebie offers. The trial offers are different. They are mostly with reputable, honest companies who have a strict privacy policy and will not sell/share your personal info with anyone else.
Another thing about the free "survey" offers is that they can be somewhat tricky in that some seem endless and fool you into thinking you must continue in order to qualify for your reward. Who wants to spend 10 minutes on an offer to only make $.50? On many of the free survey offers all you need to do is submit the 2nd page (which contains your email address, name, ph. number etc). Some freebie survey offers require that you do several pages until you see a message at the top thanking you for submitting your answers. There will be another survey beneath this message which you do not have to complete. Here are some more helpful tips about this below.
When to stop on freebies (a great time saver--you may want to print this):
Consumer Promotion Center - Submit 2nd page
Brand Survey Panel - Submit 2nd page

Consumer Beat - Do until you see message in black at the top that reads "Thank you. Your information has been received successfully..."
Winning Surveys - Do until you see message in black at the top that reads "Thank you. Your information has been received successfully..." (I've actually had these offers approve as soon as I complete the 4th page or the page that asks about your housing (own/rent/value etc). You might want to experiment on a gpt site by doing a few just to this point and see if they approve. If they don't then continue until you see the message saying your info has been received)
