Project Payday Review
A lot of people question Project Payday. I have tried them so I thought I would write this review. Project Payday isn't something for me, but I was still somewhat impressed with it. I found that some people were actually making a little money with this concept. It is however very tedious work that takes a lot organization and time.
Project Payday's 'system' is based around using IFW's to make money. There are many websites out there that say you can get a free ipod, xbox, computer, cash prize, or whatever else you can think of. These sites are known as incentive freebie websites, or IFW's. I'm sure you have seen these sites all over the web. You probably just ignored them like I did. In order to get your prize or cash you have to complete trial offers with your credit card. Then you have to refer a certain amount of people to do the same. This is explained better in the Project Payday Concept below.
Project Payday basically explains a way to 'work the system' of these IFW websites. Project Payday covers two methods of doing this and provides links and other resources you might need.

Project Payday Review
The Project Payday Concept
The first method involves you signing up through someone's referral link and they pay you to complete the required amount of "trial offers" at an IFW. It's called "going green" for someone. You don't have to refer anyone to make money with this method. All you do is complete the trial offers at the IFW and they pay you via paypal. (example below) I was surprised after joining Project Payday that there were 3 main forums where all these deals are set up. This community of people is what makes the whole Project Payday concept work. Here is an example of doing this method.
You join one of these trading forums after studying Project Payday. Then you see a post that says "Paying $15 on green" Reply to this post and tell them you are interested. They will send you the sign up link you have to use and they will set up the deal in the trade manager of the forum. Next you follow the link and sign up for that specific freebie site. Most sites require you to get 1 credit worth of offers. Most offers are worth 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, or 1 credit.
Here is an example of a regular trial offer: 'Sign up for a $4.99 7-day trial of our diet product'.
In the scenario of the '$15 green offer, lets say you do two 1/2 credit offers to fulfill your 1 credit. One is $2.99 and the other you pay $6.95. Your out $10, but you got paid $15. If you decide to keep your trial product then you will pay more, resulting in this whole concept being pointless. After you complete the required offers you obtain a green status and you are paid by the person you worked out a deal with. He makes money too because he is being paid $20-30 for a referral. (explained in method two)
Method two involves getting paid for referrals. These freebie sites offer cash prizes. An example is a $200 cash prize for 5 referrals (or $40 per referral). So you then need to get 5 people to go green for you. On the trading forums provided by Project Payday you can find a few people looking to go green for cash. If you be generous and pay them $20 each to go green, you will end up making a $100 profit when you cash out your $200 prize.
Method two is obviously better than method one because you don't have to use your credit card over and over, although you do have to complete at least a few offers in order to fulfill part of the requirements for the prize, or cash if you're in this to make money. Method two has more long term potential then method one, but it still requires constant effort like a job.
Overall Review
Should You Join?
Despite Project Payday not being the greatest way to make money online, it still deserves a few stars for actually working. However, most people are not satisfied with the Project Payday system and end up moving on.
What I recommend
IPC
If you're looking for a legit way to make some money online check out the Independent Profit Center, or IPC. It's worked for me and is easy to get set up.
I recommend IPC to anyone looking for a realistic and affordable way to make money online. With IPC You are given a top quality website (with a custom domain, not an offshoot like similiar programs) that does all the selling. When it comes to making money online you need something that SELLS and has a long term market.
Visit my IPC website IndependentWealth.biz for more information on the IPC opportunity. My contact info is at the site above if you have any questions.

I've tried alot of gimmic's over the years and nothing worked for me. Thanks for the heads up before I myself had to find out the hard way...Too much work

I think it's a good concept. But I'm not crazy about having to sign up for all these offers on my card and remembering to cancel. The other thing I'm reeally not crazy about is that to get green you have to wait for the offers to credit. And sometimes they either take to long to credit or they don't credit at all. I just started and I'm still waiting for a credits so I can hurry and get paid.
I'd feel bad selling this concept to someonee else only for them to have the same headache and frustrations.

Thanks for the information, it has helped me make the decision not to join and continue looking for a way to really make money. I'm willing to put the time and effort in to make money, however I've been scammed so much I'm gunshy now. Thanks for your info. I'm going to look at IPC now.

unfortunately I joined and have been trying to cancel my membership, their website project payday will not let me. I wish I would have read your review first it would have saved me a headache.
Posted August 26, 2008
Thank you. I was just about to sign up but decided to do more research to see if I could find out exactly what I'd have to do to make money at this. Your explanation was very informative and I decided to look for something else.
Posted August 25, 2008
You're awesome, buddy. If more citizens of the world took the time to inform others they way you have, the world would be a far safer (and better) place. Many many thanks!
Posted August 25, 2008
Thanks for stopping me from making a BIG mistake! I was so close to getting in on Project Payday, but something told me, "don't." Now I know why!
Posted August 25, 2008

Thanks for your site. It saved me from joining.
Posted August 20, 2008
I truly appreciate the "Inside Scoop", on this concept prior to beginning something that just isn't of signifigant value for long term income. I don't mind working for my salary, but when I am misled, it makes me angry! GREAT REVIEW!
Posted August 19, 2008
Thank you for the information before i wasted my time looking into this. Its so sad that there are so many scams out there hiding all the real "work from home" jobs.
Posted August 16, 2008
Great Review, Thanks for making it so simple since Project payday goes on and on and on about how easy it is to make money on the net, but it sounds too good to be true. Thanks for the clarification before we did anything stupid like this.
Posted August 16, 2008
thanks so much, i am glad i dident join that site they make it sound like its a end all to end all.
and they don't tell you that you will have to yous your credit card right out front, there for its a scam they were not honest from the start.
thanks again

Your explaination was so clear and concise. I'm glad you decided to make this review. It was very helpful.As a stay at home mother of 4 under the age of 5, I need the money but not the headache.
Thank you so much
Posted August 13, 2008
Great Review! Saved me a lot of time and headache. I'll also be checking out IPC further. Thanks again and have a great day!
Posted August 10, 2008
Now I understand the concept of project payday...even after reading thru all of their info. I was still confused until you explained it. Thank You!
Posted August 08, 2008
Although I started Project Payday today, I knew immediately it did not have the longterm potential I was looking for. About all it offered was eyestrain and credit card debt. So, I bailed and came to this site. Good thing I did. Will check out the IPC site.
Posted August 07, 2008
Thanks a bunch. Will check this site out when I have more time.
Posted August 05, 2008
Thank you for a detailed review of Project Payday. It was hard to find information on what this program actually entails before signing up, so it was helpful to have it laid out so well.
thanks!
Posted August 04, 2008
Thank you for saving me time. I do have the time to work full time from home so I'll check out IPC first so I can make an informed decision.
