Five dollars just to sign up? Really? Yes! Get ready for a crash course on one of the internet's most lucrative "get paid to" websites around: Inbox Dollars.
Once you follow my referral link above, joined with a "fresh email" (an email you have created specifically for this membership), and confirmed your email you are ready to begin.
What does the website have in store?
Offers
These offers are divided into separate categories as to what kind of websites, and the ultimate %100 free offers. These are going to range from mailing lists, web forums, service websites (product design, mass email programs, identity protection) and special offers from leading retail companies (Netflix sign up, Proactive orders and more). You want to comb these very carefully-- sometimes the ones that are free are not always just in the %100 free section.
Shopping
Cash back when shopping from some of the biggest estores around-- Walmart, Amazon, Sears, the list is almost endless! If you buy anything at all online, check to make sure that you aren't missing out on some pretty juicy cash back offers!
Surveys
You are going to have surveys offered to your from three different companies. You can do one from each every day that pay $0.50. It may take several tries to qualify but the effort is worth it!
Games
This will lead you to a separate website that will allow you to play casual computer games for money that you will win by betting on yourself in tournaments.
Coupons
Offered by the popular EverSave, these are coupons that you can print out and redeem $0.10 each for using them. These also are useful for bringing down your grocery bill, of course!
Videos
Offered by the popular AdGenesis, these are commercials during which you need to identify the two numbers that slide across the screen-- I suggest as you see the numbers come up, resting your finger lightly on top of the corresponding key. You will not forget what number you've seen and you can still pay attention to the message in the video.
Tasks
These tasks are online jobs that companies need done: you'll be double checking search engines and updating information. Each job has a very low threshold for error--speaking a second language is a plus as translating pays well!
Refer Friends
This page is where you can email your invitations to friends to gain referrals--you get %10 of your friends earnings! The Inbox Dollars ad at the bottom of the page, when clicked, leads to a page of assorted banners for promoting yourself!
More
