I talk about making money online with GPT sites all the time, and I’m sure my regular readers already know what a GPT site is, but for anyone that is visiting this blog for the first time, I’ll explain just a little.

A GPT site, or a Get Paid To site, is a site that pays you to do various things, which include free offers, trial offers, free surveys, click on ads, etc.

Now the first question in your mind is probably, why would these sites pay you to do these things?

Well, they are actually not paying you out of their pockets. Big companies such as Coke, Pepsi, KFC, MacDonalds, BestBuy, etc, use these sites to advertise and get opinions from consumers of these products. Therefore they will submit an “offer” to the GPT site such as “Which do you prefer, Coke or Pepsi?” Then members of the GPT site complete this offer and the GPT site gets paid by the advertiser. Then, the GPT site pays the member that completed the offer, a percentage of whatever their payment was. So in reality, they are acting as a middle man and everyone benefits. The advertisers get the information they want. The GPT site makes a cut for providing a service to them. And you, the member, gets paid for the work you did by completing the offer.

Every GPT site is different, and some offer games, etc.. as an added way to win. Almost every GPT site have various contests and promotions throughout the month, as an added incentive to complete these “tasks”.

My reason for this post today is that on logging into www.dealbarbiepays.com today, I saw that a new 2 week completion contest has been added with 6 places and $270 in prizes!

1st place – $100.00
2nd place – $75.00
3rd place – $50.00
4th place – $25.00
5th place – $15.00
6th place – $5.00

Basically how this contest works is, the 6 members that complete the most offers in the two week period win!

These type of contests are a great way to boost your earnings on GPT sites! In fact, if you go back a year or so from now, I had an amazing month on Deal Barbie Pays where I won a few contests and cashed out a total of $262.84!

I haven’t had the time to sit down and complete many offers lately, but I plan on attempting to place in this contest!

I hate to take away from my last post about how much money I’ve made online in March 2010, but I would like to post another payment I’ve gotten from my all time favorite GPT (get paid to) site on the internet, Cashcrate.

I have written tons of posts about Cashcrate. Why people think Cashcrate is a scam and reasons proving Cashcrate is not a scam. I have learned that trying to convince people is like pulling teeth sometimes. I’ve decided to stop.

There are those that think Cashcrate is a scam, and will continue to think so regardless of what anyone says.

Then there are those that fall in the middle, and they think Cashcrate is a scam, but they still wonder how so many people get paid and entertain the thought that maybe it just might be a legit program to earn money.

And then there are people like me. A lot of them. That know for certain that Cashcrate is a legit money making opportunity because we use Cashcrate on a monthly basis to make money online free, without spending a cent of their own.

Which one of these people are you?

Here is my 16th payment from Cashcrate.

This payment brings my total earnings online to $6228.35!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Like I mentioned a few times back, I am going through a bit of a rough patch when it comes to real life and I have a lot on my plate. I’ve been struggling to manage it all AND maintain this blog, but I’m doing my best, so do bear with me.

As promised (what seems like a very long time ago), here is my “Total Earnings Update For The Month Of March 2010!”

March was a hectic month for me. In the middle of planning my wedding/trip in Vegas which takes place in May, my mom happened to fall ill. I spent about a week or two in the hospital, running errands, etc etc. I barely had the time to focus on this blog or making money online in general. However, here is how my earnings added up for the month of March:

Cashcrate: $144.76 plus $10 Amazon Giftcard

Deal Barbie Pays: $54.99

Squishy Cash: $27.27

Dollar Click or Sign Up: $37.33

Swagbucks: $25 PayPal cash plus $20 YaySave Giftcards

MaxBounty: $146.98

Google Adsense: WITHHELD FOR PRIVACY REASONS.

Pinecone Research: $6

Cloud Crowd: $3.50

YouData: $7.13

Squidoo: $16.31

That’s a grand total of approximately (because of Google Adsense earnings withheld)… *drum roll please*… $620!

Yes, that’s right, even in my absence from the “make money online” scene last month, I managed to make over $600 in free money online.

It didn’t happen over night folks, I worked pretty hard to be where I am today and I continue to work on this blog daily whenever I have the time. Making money online isn’t a “set it and forget it” deal. You have to constantly be on it in order to succeed.

So far however, I’m happy with my success.

For the month of April, I’d like to try and keep up my earnings, but like I always say… this is money in my pocket I didn’t have before, and so I am contented with whatever I make.

Google Adsense is probably the most sort after way to make money online. Why is this so? It might be because Google is a huge and trusted company, and members of this program are SURE to get their money. Or it might be that the idea of getting paid for having people click ads on your site sounds extremely easy. However, don’t be fooled.

Surviving on Google Adsense is a struggle. You need your blog/site to have high rankings on Google.com and bring in quality traffic on a daily basis, otherwise, you’ll either make $0, or get banned from the program.

Also, if you think it’s as easy as “you click my ad I click yours”, then you’re definitely in for a surprise. That is NOT the way it works, and if you go about doing that, you will surely get banned in a heartbeat. Google is a professional when it comes to spotting cheats on their system, and you will not get away with it!

This is my 5th payment from Google Adsense and quite frankly, I’m very proud of myself for staying true to their program and being paid this many times.

It’s been one of my biggest earners thus far, and I look forward to doing business with them for as long as I can.

Again, I have blocked out the amount for privacy reasons. I have seen others share how much they earn, and while I’m not sure if it is or isn’t against Google’s TOS, I prefer to keep mine anonymous for the time being.

This payment however, brings my total earnings online to $6083.59!

That’s right, I have officially broke the $6000 mark when it comes to making money online free!

These are some of the sites I use that usually pay me in small increments.

These are NOT sites you can get rich from, but if you’re looking for legit ways to earn money online, a little at a time, these might do the trick for you.

Here is my most recent Cloud Crowd payment.

Below is a payment from Pinecone Research, which is one of the best paid survey sites online, in my opinion.

And below are two “Friday” payments from YouData which is by far my favorite PTC (paid to click) site online! Read why here: YouData – The best PTC site.

All these minuscule payments add up to $6.22 and bring my total earnings online to $5964.73!

One survey site that I’ve mentioned before but not in much detail is Toluna.com

Toluna is a website that allows it’s members to earn rewards for completing surveys, polls and performing other activities on the site.

Here’s a little explanation of how the US version of Toluna works. Your country’s rules might be different so be sure to read after you sign up.

What are Toluna Points?

Points are a form of virtual currency, awarded to Toluna members. You will receive your initial 500 points when you sign up for Toluna.
Once you are an active member, there are many different ways for you to earn additional points:

* Content popularity bonuses (for a detailed explanation please refer to the Social Rewards section of the Toluna Tutorial)
* Writing opinions (must be 80 words or longer, points are awarded on a monthly basis after all opinions are reviewed)
* Participating in sponsored polls
* Completing your Personal Interest surveys (onetime bonus)
* Participating in online surveys
* Inviting friends to join Toluna

How many points will I earn for each action?

* Sign Up: 500 points (Awarded for advanced registration)
* Content popularity bonuses: Please refer to the Toluna Tutorial for details.
* Write an opinion: 100 points (must be over 80 words, limited to 5,000 points per month).
* Sponsored Polls: 15 – 150 Points, depending on number of questions.
* Personal interest surveys: 600 points per survey. A onetime bonus of 2,000 point bonus will be awarded upon completion of all questionnaires
* Online surveys: Online surveys: 500 points or more (depending on survey length)
* Invite a friend: 500 points (awarded if invited friend completes advanced registration)

You can redeem your points for gift cards provided by our partners, buy monthly sweepstakes tickets, or choose a cash payment. Rewards may vary by country.

As always, I try to promote sites on this blog that I’m positive are not scams, and that will pay! I have seen proof of payment from Toluna for several of my blogger friends, so I’m sure this site pays it’s members!

Now here’s the good part about Toluna. I get a lot of complaints from international members, that there are no survey sites for them to join because of their country. Toluna currently operates in several countries, and so they have several various links to sign up from, depending on your country.

Here are all the sign up links for Toluna.com according to country. Please click on ONLY the link of your country to sign up. In other words, if you’re from China, don’t sign up with Toluna UK.

Toluna USA

Toluna Mexico

Toluna Finland

Toluna Austria

Toluna Canada (English)

Toluna Switzerland (French)

Toluna Switzerland (German)

Toluna Spain

Toluna France

Toluna Norway

Toluna Sweden

Toluna Greece

Toluna Ireland

Toluna Australia (Male Only)

Toluna Germany

Toluna UK

If you didn’t see your country in that list, it’s because Toluna isn’t currently available for your country. Sorry about that.

Even though I’m definitely going through a rough patch right now with my mom’s health and my wedding planning… I can still smile and have a little fun. Off course I’m just kidding, and I DO NOT PLAN ON SHUTTING DOWN THIS BLOG. In fact, my domain is renewed until 2011, so I’m definitely going to be around for a while.

Well it’s the first day of a new month and I do have to do my calculations of my earnings for last month. As soon as I get some totals, I’ll post it.

Stick around…

In my post “Best Site To Make Money Online For International Members“, I mentioned Cashcrate and that this month (March), made them 4 years old. They were holding a huge celebration where they were giving away Amazon Giftcards throughout the month several times a day to members for completing offers and referring others.

I am a lucky winner of one of those Amazon Giftcards valued $10, and Cashcrate was very quick to send it to me via email!

The code is blacked out for obvious reasons.

Cashcrate has been one of my favorite sites to make money online, and it continues to grow above and beyond the rest by introducing new ways to earn with the site.

Cashcrate has just announced their new FanPage on Facebook! Be sure to “Become A Fan”, because you’ll get a code for $0.25 bonus that you can add to your Cashcrate account.

Cashcrate has also started another new site recently that is devoted to FREE STUFF! Freeminded.com is a new website with tons of freebies posted daily. I really recommend you check it out! I’ve already sent for some free stuff that should be coming soon.

Thanks Cashcrate for my giftcard and for providing a place I can make free money online every month.

This giftcard brings my total earnings online to $5957.43!
