I've been reading your lenses and you've convinced me to check out some of these GPT sites. I'm glad you're recommending a few, too, that helps a lot. Your lenses are great, btw. They answer a LOT of questions.

I guess that I do belong to one GPT although I always classified it as a shopping site. I have the mypoints toolbar installed on my computer so get paid to search through them, I get paid to shop at sites affiliated with them, and you can get paid to play games. I had never thought of mypoints as a GPT though. Funny.

Hey, if i login into my gpt site account from a different internet connection thats not cheating is it?, Because i basically go over my mom's house to help around the house, and then get on my personal laptop & start doing surveys. Once i'm done helping my mom out I come home and go back to work on my surveys = )..Now because those are two different internet connections am i breaking any terms or tos's..I hope i'm not and im not trying to neither..

As long as you don't have 2 separate accounts or try to complete offers you've already completed, you should be fine.

GPT sites are an excellent way of earning some needed extra cash. At first it may be hard for beginners to make money but with experience comes... cash. All you have to do is know how to offers and your good. Google is your friend. Good luck to all starters.

happy money making,

What a great GPT blog you have set up here friend. Yes, GPT sites are certainly a great way to earn some good money. Now, it doesn't compare to what one would get through a full time job that pays minimum wage, but if you're simply looking for a method that can earn you a decent amount of extra cash in a relatively short period of time, then the GPT industry is definitely worth checking out.

For the past 3 years, I've promoted this industry quite extensively through my own blog, YouTube, forums, etc., and one of the things that I've always emphasized to my viewers is the frustration that many go through when they begin using this program, which is simply non-crediting offers. I do believe that this is one main reasons why many people end up leaving this industry and it's such a tragedy because this frustration can easily be addressed if people take the necessary steps to ensure their credit such as, clearing their cookies as mentioned above.

To thrivingmom, I loved how you pretty much summarized those important steps in such a simplified form. The tips you give are fantastic and I commend you for that my dear because unfortunately, there are many people like us that promote this industry, but don't go into the details of it, at least, not to your extent.

However, if I may, I'd like to add on to what you said regarding the necessity to clear your cookies and such because it is such an important part to preventing those offers from going to that infamous pending folder.

Firstly, yes, it's important to clear those cookies before and after every offer you complete. However, before you even do this, you need to set up your browser to accept all cookies. Firefox is the number one recommended browser to use for these offers. If you're using Internet Explorer, do NOT use version 7 as this browser is known to cause crediting issues. Use either version 6,8 or the newly released IE 9.

Now, as for clearing the cookies themselves, I also strongly believe that there needs to be a special emphasis on the fact that you need to do so while you're LOGGED OUT of the GPT site and NOT clear them while you're logged on. The best analogy I can think of is that cookies, for the purposes of this business, are like little signs that say ?Send the credit here!? Every time you log on to a site, a cookie goes out carrying that sign so if you were to stay logged on and then clear your cookies and cache, and go back to complete an offer, you'd essentially be deleting that important "Send the credit here" sign. So you can imagine that it would be extremely difficult for the computer that issues you your credit to not credit properly. Sometimes the credit will find it's way to you. Sometimes it won't.

Other things can also prevent you from getting credited, such as having Yahoo and Google toolbars enabled on your browser. This one's another biggie, having your anti-virus program turned on while completing offers is also a big no-no. Another thing that should be disabled is your pop-up blockers because sometimes the computer that issues your credit sends the code, which is basically the key to getting your credit, and may very well end up on one of the offer's pop-up messages and/or windows. So you can imagine that by blocking it, you're basically destroying any chance of getting that credit.

Now, as for staying on an offer's final page for 5 minutes, yes, that is another valid point. However, it needs to be said that during this waiting period, you shouldn't be doing anything. Don't check your email, don't surf the net, watch videos, or anything else. What you want here is silence in cyberspace, so the offer can credit in peace.

If the offer doesn't credit within that time frame, it maybe an offer that credits on a pre-scheduled basis so it's just good to move on. If the offer doesn't credit within 24 hours, assume that it won't for the reasons that thrivingmom mentions above. You can do everything right, but there are so many variables that come into play here that ultimately prevents you from getting credited 100% of the time so whoever is reading this comment, please bare that in mind.

There are other steps that you can take to further ensure your offer's approval, but since I maybe overstaying my welcome (understandably of course) with this very long comment, I'll just leave it at that.

To thrivingmom, I hope you find some value within my comment that you can use to share with others. To the other readers that see this, I hope you find my info useful and please be grateful to thrivingmom here for going out of her way to provide you with such great insight into the GPT industry and how it operates. Trust me, there's not that many of us promoters that really like to go into detail about anything we promote because to a lot of people, it's not worth the hassle. However, these are the people who just have one thing in their minds - MONEY and making it quick without putting much effort, which is sad, because ultimately, just with a little effort that's put into promotions like this, on a consistent basis will go a long way to convince others to consume your content.

Always keep in mind fellas, it's NOT all about you, it's about what you can offer to others and doing so in a way that can be perceived as both valuable and irreplaceable. ;)

You make some really great points about GPT sites. I've personally found that they are a great way to make money online. Your suggestion to "not put your eggs" in one basket are a good one. I currently use Cashorpoint.com and BestGPTsite.com and have founnd that they have many offers and always pay on time.

Thanks for sharing this info. Really helpful. I've just started to work with four GPTs, and didn't get paid yet, but my friends did.... so, I'm really looking forward to get paid.

I made $67 this month with Squishy and I only spent 2 hours on it this month. So, I'm super excited about that one. GPT sites may not be the kind of work you want to brag to friends about, but when money is tight GPT sites are a great source of extra income.
