Comments on: Can You Make Money with Project Payday? http://www.ivetriedthat.com/2009/03/05/can-you-make-money-with-project-payday/ We lose money so you don't have to! Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:41:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ann http://www.ivetriedthat.com/2009/03/05/can-you-make-money-with-project-payday/comment-page-1/#comment-17989 Ann Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:43:55 +0000 http://www.ivetriedthat.com/?p=1986#comment-17989 Today I decided to take a rest from PPD because there's another catch to this that I learned the hard way... you're only allowed to work from your own private internet connection. I've been doing this since August 2011, so I'm pretty new. So far I've done method 1 and method 2, my net income (that is, taking into account losses from getting scammed, money spent on other sites that still have incomplete credits so I'm not "green" yet and therefore didn't get paid yet, and membership fee to a forum for 6 months) is $332.94, so that's like an average of around $83 a month. I think it's been going great, inspite of all the complications already mentioned above, until the admin told me I was violating a lot of rules (partly my fault, I didn't really read all of 'em). Basically, you're not allowed to log in to the forum from multiple computers, only from your home ip address. So if you get an email on your phone that someone wants to get paid because they already greened your site, you're just supposed to ignore it until you get home (and forget about it, and just allow them to get mad at you and file a complaint about you on the forum, therefore causing you to waste even more of your time resolving complaints rather than making money) because logging in from your phone is not allowed and considered fraudulent. You're also not allowed to access the forum from a public internet, so no PPD in school or at work (even if you have some break times that you can actually make use of to make some money). So you're also not allowed to complete offers on any other computer but the one you have at home. If you happen to be at a friend's house, and you do anything PPD related there (using his ip address), you're also considered a fraud. If you access any of the sites from anywhere else but at home because you were too excited to see if you already earned some money, you're also a fraud. So basically what this system is telling you to do is to stay home if you want to work it out. It's just like going to an office to work, except that the office is your home. You can't take that work anywhere else but there. But the financial rewards are not equivalent to what you can get from a "real" job. It tells you to abandon available technology because it makes you fraudulent. Maybe someday I will change my views about PPD, but today, I'm bitter about them trying hard to prove that I'm a fraud. I'm starting to wonder if this is indeed another "scheme" or scam. One that hasn't been proven yet. Because the moment you enter PPD, you will either get scammed (or so the admins of the forums and the sites say) or be labelled as the scammer (or so, again, the admins of the forums and the sites say). Basically they have the control over who's a scammer and not. Imagine all the free advertising they got from all of the people they labelled "scammers" and simply gave up coz it's not worth arguing about.

Cheryl, you had me laughing so hard my stomach was hurting. I know you weren't trying to be humorous, only a bit sarcastic at best. But that was the beauty of it all, the fact that you simply told it like it was and boy could I relate! I wouldn't be laughing at all if I didn't experience the same thing you did, so I felt your frustration all too well. "Not exactly stellar income".... That's where I lost it. I seriously felt as if I wrote that article myself. The simple way you explained the effort and heartache of making an honest buck in today's insane world from a viewpoint I could totally and completely relate to was profoundly and hilariously touching.

But honestly I don't have or want to invest the monies required to go green. If there are no offers that I can do and cancel just before, then forget about it. not a $1.00 not $9.99 NOTHING! I guess I just wasted the last three days on this. Thanks again for the heads up, I wish I had found you last Friday though.. :) Thanks for the info in your blog, I have spent the last few days looking into starting with PPD and went as far as joining their new forum “www.netincomesolutions.com” and getting a mentor.

I paid $34.95 to access PPD, because I did not want to complete a free offer (should have been my first clue!!) and then I also paid TrialPay $19.95 for the tutorial videos (because again, I did not want to complete a free offer, knowing that they are never really free). Once I got in to the site and read what was actually going on I wasn't too happy, but I decided to give it a shot. Created a new gmail account and began with Kelly's Fast First Fifty (or whatever it is called). I had the same experience as Cheryl. I was supposed to make $50 for trying offers totaling up to one credit. This was a training exercise set up through their top trader. The suggestion is to complete 2 offers worth half a credit to be more efficient, but there were only 2 offers at the time that matched that criteria and one of them cost $40!!! At this point I stopped and emailed PPD invoking my "60 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee". Might be possible, but not for me. Great way to ruin your credit trying to make a buck. I should say that PPD credited my account right away once I filled out a ticket on their website. I was totally ready to call my credit card company if necessary ... At first I emailed support and got no response, but completing a support ticket on the web got a fast response. They also let me know that I had to contact TrailPay separately about a refund for the $19.95. I have received an email back from TrailPay saying it is being processed, so we will see. Thanks for this website. Looking forward to reading the tips in the free ebook. I have a small biz and with the downturn in the economy I am looking for a legitimate way to make a little extra money when needed and I should say, one that I am morally okay with. This PPD seems ethically wrong some how, besides the headache of trying to keep track of everything not being worth my time ... Wish I had seen this site before I wasted my time.

I find recomendations for good ones on google and then when i google the program to see if its a scam it turns out people comment that its a scam, then they recommend a site and when i google that program they recommend it turns out people say that they are a scam. At the end of the day i dont know whats a scam or not.I dont know if the ones that say that those are the good proggrams are scammers themself. i dont know if people say certain programs are scams to advertise thaeir product or what. This at home bussiness thing takes alot of researching. Well iam having a very hard time trying to find a at home business.

Just get one from your bank. If you don't have a bank account just go to WaMu (Now Chase lol) and get a free checking account, drop some funds in it and there ya go! Wait a couple weeks and your card should pop up in the mail. That actually what I wound up doing...lol. Since the debit card is attached to an actual bank account, it's fair game as far as offers go. Oh, and before you do any offers for anyone else, make sure they have a list of offers that are known to credit and DON'T have a bad reputation. Ask around on the chat room in FLR if anyone has tried a particular offer and see what they have to say about it. Or just run some thread searches in the forum itself. Anyway, best of luck to you! I gave up on PPD, had a good run...but got tired of it after a while. Dude, debit cards work just fine. Just get one from your bank.
