'Get Paid To' program updates
As I said in my previous post - my focus for my online income earning has shifted from the 'get paid to' programs to more of an internet marketing focus.

But, I did want to do a quick update on the 'get paid to' programs that I am using. First, I'm going to be dropping Hits4Pay and DealsNCash from the programs I'm using. I finally hit the payout threshold for Hits4Pay. I never did any real intense promotion for Hits4Pay, but I did have about 20 referrals in my downline. With 20 referrals it took me about 2 months to hit the payout level of $25 bucks. And that was with a $10 dollar sign up bonus! Here's a breakdown of what it actually took to hit that $25 bucks.


As you can see - hits4pay turned out to be a two month waste of time. Of course - the actual reading of the ads was nothing at all. I simply logged in, opened up a new tab in the browser and just clicked on a new ad every so often while I was doing something else. I really didn't do anything - but still, I guess some time was spent logging in to the site and clicking.

So - strike those two programs off the list. Hits4Pay DealsNCash

That leaves me with CashCrate and Treasure Trooper left in my 'Get Paid To' program list. I hadn't done much promotion of either besides a banner here and there. But, in the last week I decided to give CashCrate a little push. I've pushed my referrals up to over 60 on my first level, and I've now got 5 on my second level. What I like about CashCrate is that you're paid anywhere from 20 to 30 percent for the first level, and 10 to 20 on the second level. In the last 3 days of August, I made about 35 bucks from the new referrals that I got. I didn't spend much time - I'd say about 30 minutes a day trying to get referrals. I've figured out that it really is where you try to get the referrals. Some sites work like a charm :-)

For this month I figure I'm going to spend about 15 to 30 minutes a day working on referrals, because that program actually seems like it might pay off. Well, I know it will as Amy of My Debt Free Goal pulls in about $1500 a month from her referrals. So we'll see how far I can take this.

But as I've said - the main focus for September is creating a bunch of niche/affiliate sites. I'm going to try to do at least 2 a week - I finished my first one 2 days ago and have been working on getting some traffic to it. Now, I'm about to start research on the second.

Work Smarter, Not Harder
One of the things I like about fellow up and coming blogger Angel, is that he says what he thinks. He's not afraid to try something out and give his honest opinion on it. For example - he recently tried out CashCrate and Treasure Trooper using my referral links and gave his opinion on the program.



As you can see by the title of his article - he's not a big fan of the "get paid to" sites. But that's ok - like I've said before, it's not for everybody.

I do disagree a little though. I agree that sitting and clicking those ads isn't fun. It's boring and you might make more money if you went and got a job at McDonald's. But for about 15 minutes of my time a day, I could make a couple of bucks which at the end of the month might be 30 or 40 dollars. Yeah, not a good hourly rate, but I could watch a show on television everyday for 30 minutes and not have any cash at the end of the month for it.

But I don't spend 15 minutes a day on it.

I've written a few posts about it - made a few comments in a couple of forums with a link in my signature line. That's about all I've done with those - because I really think the power of these programs comes when you can build a large referral pool. I mean really - Amy of My Debt Free Goal makes $1500 bucks a month from a couple of weeks she spent getting referrals (she also wrote this great review that had a very high conversion rate). Now that's a nice passive income.

So, fill out the surveys yourself and you could make enough for a dinner at a not so fancy restaurant each month, or try to get a few referrals and you might be going out for sushi. A few times.

Anyways - thanks for trying it out Angel. At least Harper can thank you because the fifteen or thirty minutes you spent laboring over those surveys on the other side of the world bought Harper a cone at DQ here in hot Las Vegas. And ice cream is always a good thing.



Speaking of Angel - he's having a contest and this week I'm all about the contest so I guess things in the universe are just lining up. So. It's a pretty simple contest.
  • 50+ words in a post and a link to the contest page
  • Stumble his site
  • Subscribe to the site's feed
That's it. $100 bucks. How you like that?

Check his site out - it's one of my daily reads.

About Me: I am a new dad (well, Harper is a year old) and I'm already worried about his college education. Mostly because I'm still paying mine off. My plan is simple - create multiple streams of online income so that the overall amount of all of them comes out to 100 dollars a day. So here it is: each step along the way about how to make $100 a day in 100 days...
