Make Money Taking Surveys
     Who hasn’t seen an ad like this?  Usually, it ends up being a website where you can make money (or prizes) for signing up for a site and taking a survey. It has been my experience that 9 times out of 10, these are pop-up laden sites that seem to have an effect on time itself because a ‘quick 5 minute survey’ ends up turning into a 2 hour interrogation about everything from what kind of underwear that you purchase to the type of depends your grandma wears. I have only seen a rare few that actually pay out what they say, and have only seem to know people that ‘know a guy who knows a guy’ that wins like an Xbox 360 or whatever other exotic gift that only seem to be won by everyone else. Well, cashcrate.com seem’s to have built the better mousetrap for people that want to do this. Cashcrate is sort of like a clearing house for surveys. There are couple differences that cashcrate brings to the game.

 1. You dont have to go searching for surveys, they are all in once place. This isnt really a ‘new’ thing to these kind of programs. A lot of them have you sign up and they send you a list or link to a list that is basically a referrer link from originating site.

2. You get paid per sign up. There are no big claims of winning exotic gaming consoles or trips to Aruba for prizes. These are all realistic prizes that mathematically realistic for the survey sites, which means they are more likely to actually give out the prizes that they say instead of blowing sunshine up your skirt about them.

3. Sign-up on Cashcrate.com is totally free. It doesnt require  a credit card. Now with that being said, when you sign up for this, its almost gauranteed that once you start getting into the offers, you are going to get other offers. Technically, you can’t cry spam, because if you read the terms on each one of the sites you sign up on, you are giving your consent. I went through about 1 page of just the totally free offers and have recieved about 30 emails within 4 days. Nothing is for free. Hotmail/gmail/yahoo are your friends.

Once you get signed up on the site, there are two kinds of offers to choose from:
100% totally free - Usually requires nothing more than an email address and about 5-10 minutes (depending on the site) to complete a survey. The email has to be valid because they will most likely send you a confirmation link. Average pay for these sites seems to be around .75 cents, though there are some as low as 50 cents and some as high as $4.00. There are 10 pages of 20 sites…200 sites. Even if every one of the sties were only .50, it would still be a free $100 for probably 3-4 hours of steady work clicking your mouse

Trial Offers - Some are trial of a certain service, that is free, some require a credit card though they claim they do not charge. These offers range from 3.00 to $50.00.   Most of these offers are in the $15-$20 range, but again, are a bit more indepth as for requirements, and there are only 3 pages. However, if you go through them all, its probably about $250-300 in cash.

     While this seems like a pretty sweet setup, and possibly even something that is poised to be a big force in this particular facet of ‘making money online’ programs like this, I’m still waiting to see the outcome. The lowest payout for the site is $10., and it gets processed on the 20th of the month, you’re payment should reach you by the middle of the following month. There is also the availability for referring other people, and you get 20% of their earnings, and 10% of their referrerers.  That’s as far as the referrers go, so to me, thats where the whole comparison of ‘MLM’ or ‘pyramid scheme’ stops. That is what is considered a legal, and completely above board ‘downline’ offer. So it would be in you interest to do a little marketing for this to create a downline. When I say ‘I’m waiting’, what i did was run up about $20 in referrers, so I’m over their $10 payout. Now I’m waiting to see how legit they are on their end of things. I want to see if I actually get a check sent to me, and if I have any trouble actually getting cash in hand. If not, then I will wholeheartedly endorse this program on this site, and happily tell readers that its a quick way to make a little mad money, if not i’ll fill this with the 100’s of other programs like this under ‘C’ for crapola. This way I have nothing to lose one way or the other but a hotmail address. Check back to see the outcome and maybe have  a way to make a little extra beer while you’re bored at work or home.
