Paid Email
I have been a member of several different paid email programs over the last few years. I got started into this business because I thought it would be an easy way to make some extra money without a lot of work. Well, as with most things, it sounds a lot easier than it actually is. If you plan on just reading paid emails and don't want to put any effort into getting referrals; stop now and save yourself the hassle. Without referrals you will never reach the payout minimum, and you will never receive any money for your effort. This is just a fact of this industry, you need active referrals inorder to reach the payout with most sites. Another fact is there are many scams out there so be careful which ones you join. The sites I have made the most money with; Hits4pay, Inboxdollars, CashCrate, TreasureTrooper, and MyPoints.
Hits4Pay
Although Hits4Pay offers a decent payout of $0.02 per email and a $10.00 sign-up bonus at my current pace it would take me 3 years to reach the minimum payment threshold of $25.00.
I decided to try and get some referrals, since I would earn $0.01 each time a referral reads an email at first I wasn't very successful. I wasn't successful, because I didn't know what I was doing. After reading through some forums and finding ways to promote my referral link I was able to get some referrals.
Fast-forward nearly four years later and I have over 1200 referrals underneath me and they have referred roughly 800 members themselves. My referral network is also growing at around 50 new referrals a month.
Currently I am averaging about $45.00 a month with Hits4pay, it might not be much but it covers my cable bill every month. Plus this is only one program and with my other top money makers I am making over $200.00 a month. My full review of Hits4Pay.
InboxDollars
I rejoined InboxDollars in early 2004 after I realized I could make money by simply getting referrals. Now I average over $100.00 a month with them. More information about InboxDollars.
CashCrate
Although the first few months for recruiting for CashCrate were slow I now have about 350 referrals and am making over $20.00 a month. In October I reached a new recorded payout with CashCrate at $65.00. I hope to improve on that. My full review of CashCrate.
TreasureTrooper
TreasureTrooper has some great potential to make money with if you get a lot of active referrals, but currently I only have 88 referrals in my first level and 33 in my second. Right now I am only averaging a couple dollars a month with TreasureTrooper for more information about TreasureTrooper be sure to read my review.
MyPoints
It is pretty easy to accumulate points with MyPoints you just need to keep an eye out for there emails and click on the links, the emails are worth 5 points each. You can earn a lot more by shopping through there site between 1% to 5% of your purchase is converted into points. I say if you're going to buy something anyways you might as well shop through them and get an extra free gift card every once in a while. MyPoints
