By MD On February 9, 2010No CommentsJust like many of you, I have heard of a company called CashCrate, but I’ve always wondered if Cash Crate was a Scam or Legit. I’ve been reading a lot of reviews lately of this so called 100% FREE to join membership program. Cashcrate, is a program that connects their members to money making opportunities from other businesses and websites. It’s just like any other “take surveys site” or “get paid for opinions” website, but this one is FREE to join, and has better offers.
You can take surveys, play games, review products and services, etc…. Just choose and find what you want to do.
As a internet marketer, I tend to stay away from, and not promote scammy websites or “survey companies”. They are usually a waste of my time, and produce small results. But I’ve been seeing some of the mega payouts that Cashcrate has been paying to some people I know, so I learned as much as I could about Cash Crate from them. I decided I better get on board this money train, instead of being left out, and regretting it later.
If you are wondering how Legit CashCrate is, and how dependable they are, then all you need to do is a search for “cashcrate review“, or talk to some people in their forum. You’ll see the proof, and a ton of positive enthusiasm from their members. Cash Crate has been around since 2006, and many ordinary people make good money from them.While the Super Affiliates are making a killing from them.
It’s a very easy program to join, and they have a HUGE online forum and blog, so check them out here.
What are the requirements to become a member of CashCrate?
First off, it’s 100% FREE to join Cash Crate. You only have to be 13 years or older, and just about anyone from anywhere can join as well, but US and other English speaking countries will have more offers available to them. It’s simple, fun, and takes no time at all to sign up and be on your way to making some money today.
Cashcrate is Not a Scam and 100% FREE to join!
If you Google “online surveys”, then you will be bombarded with millions of results and 100’s of different websites wanting you to join their program. Now, almost all of them charge you money to join to do the same thing CashCrate does for FREE. Which is connect you to businesses who need reviews, opinions, and etc… in which you will receive some form of payment from. You will be able to see the offers and what form of reward, whether it be money, points, gift cards and etc..then just choose what you want to participate in. Better yet, you can make money just by referring your friends and anyone else who signs up thru your referral link. All of this is explained once you join. It’s a great program to make some money online in your spare time, or turn it into a full time gig.
Affiliates, this is for you!
Normally I don’t even write articles about programs like CashCrate on this blog, but what enticed me to join was their Multi Tier Referral program. Check this, anyone who signs up under you, make 20% from their earnings, and make another 10% off anyone who signs up under them. Thats how us experienced Affiliate Marketers can make some easy and a Ton of Money. I’m telling you, it’s worth your time. Think about it, with your skills and connections, easily get a ton of signups under you and your payout percentage increases after you reach 50 signups from your links. Once your referrals under you make $10 then you also get a $3 bonus.
I hope this review answered the question, is CashCrate a Scam or Legit? I’ve already made a few dollars just filling out my account and playing around a little bit in my membership dashboard and I’ll add updates to this post in the near future of my earnings.

Whether you’re a blogger, or internet marketer, getting more traffic is always on the back of your mind. It wasn’t to long ago when Social Media Marketing (SMM) was just beginning to blossom into the powerhouse it has turned into today, and what it will become in the near future. Many people are spreading rumors and posting articles about the death of search engine optimization (SEO), and talk about how Social Media is going to replace SEO completely. I think they are taking it a little to far, or are they just trying to start a little controversy??
I remember it was just a few years ago when I first got into Internet marketing, and everyone use to preach about search engine optimization should be my main priority, especially for getting quality traffic. No one really mentioned social media or using it as a way to get traffic to my mini niche sites.
The Power of Social Media has really swept over the world and internet, in a short amount of time. It’s always been around, but now it plays a major role for getting quality traffic to your sites, as much as SEO can. Social Media obviously is also a major factor in creating or continuing a successful business, online or offline.
Thanks to some Brilliant Minds like, Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook creator) and Jack Dorsey (Twitter creator), everyone and there grandma loves social networking.
How Popular and how Fast is Social Media Growing?
Compete’s top 50 list for Dec. 2009 -Look at how many social networking sites are on the list, and their stats!!
Alexa’s Top 15 list again many of them are social media sites.
- Google.com
- Facebook.com
- Youtube.com
- Yahoo.com
- Live.com
- Wikipedia.org
- Blogger.com
- Baidu.com
- MSN.com
- QQ.com
- Yahoo.co.jp
- Twitter.com
- Google.co.in
- Myspace.com
- Google.cn
According to Emarketer, a survey was done on senior marketers Top Priorities for 2010. The results are shown below on the chart.
Their number one priority is social networks and applications, so even the top experienced marketers are changing gears over to social media marketing.
Why should you start putting more effort into social media marketing?
Social Media is Awesome because it spreads virally. It takes just one person to go to your site and spread the word about your great post or product, then all of a sudden you get a BLAST of traffic from just one person who started the viral effect. It’s one of the cheapest and most effective ways to get traffic to your websites. Just make sure you work on your Social Media Optimization (SMO) by making your websites compatible for social networking sites. Such as the type of content, adding functionality with rss and social bookmarking buttons.
I found that websites that have been around for a good while and have authority, get more traffic from search engines, rather than from social media. However, newer sites can easily get traffic quicker and faster, if you utilize social networking before the seo kicks in.
Now, to utilize social media to the fullest it takes time, a lot of effort continuously networking and giving value to others first.
Why does social media work so well for conversions?
You get to meet and network with like minds which can lead to connections, opportunities and more traffic.
People can easily learn more about you, build a relationship with you, which may lead to trust, and ultimately more money in the bank.
Word of mouth advertising, testimonies, trust and recommendations are some of the top reasons people make a purchase. We’ve all seen it used on infomercials, websites and other forms of advertisements, why? It’s a proven method of convincing someone to believe in your product or service and ultimately let their guard down and make a purchase.
Isn’t that what social media is all about, interacting and hearing what others have to say about things they’re interested in. I believe it’s human nature to naturally put up a barrier before we make a purchase or decide on something. We want to find the best value, and we don’t want to look like a fool because of past scams, phonies, and b.s. that we’ve seen or gone through before.When we see a testimony from someone who already tried something out, or hear a recommendation, then we tend to let our guard down and we believe in the product or service more.
Social Media allows people to hear feedback on just about anything, almost instantly. I know some Top Internet Marketers who create something valuable, whether it be a elaborate post or product. It takes just one person who finds it and spreads the word using social networking and they get so many visitors that they max out their servers within a few hours. Word of mouth works online, and the majority of us are just figuring this out.
Are you looking for More Loyal, Repeat visitors?
Ad network Chitika, did a study in which they analyzed their traffic for over 33 million unique visitors over the course of September 2009. Their study was to see out of their Big 6 Traffic sources who brings in the most “loyal visitors” – meaning a person who came back to the referred site 4 or more times in the same week. Even though the majority of their unique visitors come from Google, some of the social networking sites bring in more loyal users as you can see on their chart below, and Loyalty is a Great thing for us bloggers in so many ways. Facebook was #1 with over 20% of all visitors from Facebook visited the referred site 4 or more times in a week.
I believe in order to be successful at just about anything, learning to adapt is crucial. Everything changes constantly online, seo and social media will continually evolve so we have to move with the times. It’s now time to focus more on social media marketing if you haven’t already, but continue with SEO just like before.
Another interesting tidbit that many people have reported is that social media traffic tends to bring in more long term users and buyers. While search engines bring in more short term users and clickers. You should plan ahead on what kind of traffic you are going after depending on what your site is about, and what form of monetizing you are doing. I believe social media plays a major role now for getting targeted traffic and to make or continue a successful business, but search engine optimization (SEO) will be around for a good while as the front runner for website traffic.

I learned a great deal about search engine optimization (seo) tips and techniques in 2009. It also changed quite a bit this year as in search engine algorithms and social media coming up as a major player for traffic and the way it will change SEO in the near future. I know I love huge lists with valuable information, facts and resources that help me get more traffic and ultimately achieve more success online.
That’s why I decided to go out with a bang for the end of 2009 and compile a Huge List of search engine optimization tips/tricks, resources, changes and some new things I learned this year. Much of this list separates myths from facts and what and what not to waste your time on.

I am a self taught Internet Marketer for nearly 2 years now, who started blogging a little over half a year ago. There are many reasons why I chose to and why you should start a blog if you haven’t already, but I’m not going to get into that in this post. Through trial and error, research and observation. I now know there are only “4 key ways to become a successful blogger” or make a blog successful. Especially now, with the new flood of wannabe Pro Bloggers and people who want their share of the cash cow that blogging has created.
4 Ways to Have a Successful Blog
1. Valuable Content – Your blog contains content that is helpful, unique, has value and over delivers with information about the topics you write about. It could also have really great and valuable videos or pictures.
It took a little while for me [...] Continue Reading…

I’ve had this idea for a long time actually for creating websites and blogs aimed at people who don’t or can’t make purchases online. You probably know who I’m talking about, the very conservative who still don’t trust putting their credit card number into any computer, the seniors who think there’s no use for the internet (let alone make a purchase online) and of course you can’t forget about the kids. Now what kind of site or blog am I talking about?
I am talking about sites or blogs specifically made for making money online from CPA – click per acquisition or action, CPC – click per click, CPM – click per Mille, or 1,000 impressions and you make money by amount of impressions. They won’t have to make any purchases and it’s a great demographic for making money online just from clicks and impressions.
I know this isn’t a new [...] Continue Reading…
