So I can do that once or twice a week. Now hits 4 pay on the other hand is a bust, I joined in 2006, took me until May 2009 to reach $25.00, (and that is with the $10.00 enrollment fee), because they send you e-mails less often once they see you are getting close to a pay out, and on top of all that once I reached the $25.00 dollars they don't even pay out, because they say my address doesn't match. I ask them doesn't match what, I know my address, and after about 10-15 e-mails going back and forth, and still not receiving my check, I finally canceled. Now Hits4pay that's really a waste of one's time Inbox dollars has worked for me i am on my 3rd check, and they are cashable – you’re just clicking the links, seeing what the e-mail sasy, if you’re not interested delete and move on.

I received points or rewards for the three referrals and i felt i have figured out a way to beat them. A few days later i realized my account was terminated due to violation of terms. Apparently a household cannot share a computer or have access to inbox via different accounts. I just wish i got to that first check :( but as many of you here have pointed out, it's not worth it.

Now, I am hoping they will all pay also. Inboxdollars: $5 sign up bonus + $7.40 = $12.40 Dealsncash: $8.65 Hit$4pay: $13.28 All in the past 40 some days. Like I said, as long as they pay, I can't complain. I also signed up for Revbux and personally think it is a joke. The other sites I joined all pay $0.01 to $0.03 per email I read while Revbux pays $0.0025 per email/click. I would have to read 4X the emails from Revbux to make the same money from the other 3. I am also trying some online surveys and have joined MySurvey.com. It seems to have potential. Points for surveys vary and 1000 points = $10.00. I joined This past Monday and have 175 points already. I have not gotten any surveys from them since day 1 but I have a brother that belongs and he makes around 10,000 points per month from them. Hopefully I can get to that point soon and find other survey sites as trusted as MySurvey.com. I really enjoy reading this site, it has tons of good information on it. However I can't say that I totally trust the programs they recommend. Of the ones I see they recommend cost $29.?? per month. I would love to make BIG $$$ online and realize it may take a lot of time and work, however when I began my "make $$$ online" quest, I vowed to spend NO MONEY. Through many hours of my time researching, it seems that all the information these companies "sell" you is out there for FREE! It just takes TIME to find it, and only working part-time, I have the time to do this. I don't think the recommended programs here are scams, but I am just very leery of paying to make money. Aside from the cost of a bus pass each month, I pay NOTHING to keep my current job, other than time. Just my opinion on things though, and am sure there a lots of you reading this that would have no problem paying to make money online, especially if you can make $1,000.00 per month, and good luck to those of you that do! Maybe someday I will get there!! Thanks for reading and good luck in your quest to make money online!!

Can you get rich online? HELL YEAH! BUT IT DEPENDS ON YOUR DEFINITION OF RICH! My personal definition is as follows: "Being able to pay all my bills WITH MY REAL JOB EARNINGS and have at least $300-$500 in survey/online money to blow on my family and myself! And in the economy's current state there is nothing wrong with having your own self-induced "stimulus check" for a couple hours of work in the morning or before you go to bed. And being a producer/songwriter, singer, studio engineer every lil bit counts. Yeah it sucked at first but once I got a plan I started to see the benefit. BUT THE KEY TO THIS SURVEY, PTC, GPT online make money thingy is good ole fashion PATIENCE. Which programs WORK FOR YOU not another! I would love to get into what Bernie is into with Clickbank, Ebay and Egold but I don't think I would have the dedication! (Oh bernie my IQ=146 and I want a retest I was buzzed when I took the exam on a dare! :) I'm coming for your 158 baby!) lol Anyways I have read hundreds of blogs, reviews, etc. (and still currently do) and to date it comes down to what you are able to stand! Cause honestly folks the ish is boring, sometimes painfully long and boring. But I find myself painfully bored at least 4 hours a day or night, might as well make a dollar or two when you have nothing better to do! Now mind you I have only been making online money for a year and some change starting with you guessed it inbox dollars! HEY PUT UP SOME NEW OFFERS FOR PETE"S SAKE! Just kidding INBOX please dont lock my account ! :) but some new offers would help! But I have made hundreds not thousands of bucks in my short time so here we go and this can work with Surveys, PTC, and anything else. My choice is online surveys though so heres five quick rules of online money. Rule#1 (In my best Chris Tucker voice as Smokey from the movie Friday! Don't you Neva Eva EVA! Start doing surveys or anything online BROKE! Sorry folks but empty pockets equals empty patience! Trust me I speak from experience Im an artst I do broke and desperate really good, a regular subject matter expert! lol. But alot of folks get into online money as a desperation move for a little extra scratch, and thats when you get people actually mad and go to blogs etc. trashing these sites when they get charged processing fees, or the check takes to long and all kinds of stuff. I know it happens but why are you so angry that you fall prey to a snake oil saleman here and there? Hell u signed u free didnt you? Why so serioussssssssssah! GET OVER YOURSELVES! IT"S NOT ABOUT YOU AND WILL NEVER BE! It's all about the companies generating their OWN revenue, not necessarily your own. You just in for the ride my friends. You signed up for free anyways so treat it like Vegas babe, you roll the dice and sometimes you hit sometimes you crap out! Rule#2 Do alot of research! Spend alot of time doing this and you will spend less time getting screwed! Find out what people are saying about potiential sites you consider joining. A great place for that is www.surveypolice.com. It's a suvey scam/fraud site. They have hundreds of sites evaluated with comments from users and a rating system. So this is a little help that takes out the risk of picking dud sites. Now I didnt say they were the approving authority for these sites Im just saying its a handy tool. Rule#3 What do you want? Cash, sweepstakes entries, gift cards, paypal? What? All sites donot offer cash rewards! Some do cash/paypal, sweepstakes entries or gift cards. You gotta read the fine print! You know when u sign up and you gotta check the Ï have read and agree the terms and conditions? Do you read it? Most folks say no, myself I read the terms, it tells you how you get paid how long it takes processing, processing fees etc. So if you dont like the terms simply find another site to join. I am partial to Walmart and Amazon giftcards so I have a group of sites that pay only in cards. Cash sites are self explanatory babe! Paypal is the best in my opinion, you get paid weekly. Sweepstakes? Well I really dont indulge. I won 16 bucks one time out of the blue from a site which was cool so I guess people do win. But remember find out what u want before u even start and you won't be so pissy! Rule#4 Unless you already been paid at least two (2) times from a site NEVER BUILD YOUR ACCOUNT $20 bucks PAST THE CASHOUT THRESHOLD! Let me explain. Most accounts get locked up and accused of fraud etc. when they have a significant amount of cash earned. These companies are not kicking folks out for having $5 omg noooooooooo they will wait until you get a couple hundred which takes forever to achieve and THEN you start to have problems. I have been victimized myself this way and bleve me it hurts like hades when you lose a couple hundred versus the slight sting $25. Remember this is a virtual vegas babe. Rule#5 Devise a plan to get this money babe! Having a plan leads to goals etc and all that other corny stuff but it works! Set a monetary goal in a whole whith all you sites and cash out at once! Say for example u got 5 sites that min cashout is $20 bucks, cashout together thats $100 bucks, get it? And so on. Man I think I'm gonna write an ebook! :) Ok thats it for now my buzz is gone!:) But I hope this helps alot of noobs in this game. But ask yourself, What kind of money do you expect when signup and participation is free? Mr. Fairplay's "Black Friday Plan" The Black Friday plan is simple but takes PATIENCE and RESTRAINT! Ok find and grab as many PTC, Survey etc that all pay exclusively in walmart, Amazon Target gift cards or whatever your fancy. I use Amazon so ill use them as the example. Ok read the emails do the surveys, click the sites and you will start earning $5-$20 in Amazon rewards in due time. When u get rewarded save all you amazon codes the whole year until Black Friday in November! Eveything is super cheap on this day and your free money goes alot further. I started the plan 2 months ago and I'm up to $65 bucks already by Nov I should have a couple hundred! Imagine if I started in January! Hope this helps! I have some better less timely plans hit me up if you are interested! Man oh man oh man! so many grand ideals for online money making so little time! Can you get rich online? HELL YEAH!
