The Truth About Paid Online Survey Sites

By MD On August 31, 2010 2 Comments

I have been experimenting for a couple years now the many different ways to make money online. It seems every year more and more people are learning about the endless opportunities there are to make extra money on the internet from the comfort of your home. Making some extra money from paid online surveys is still a very popular method. Why? Just about anyone can join a survey site no matter your experience and there will always be a need for consumer opinions from companies.

Online paid surveys was the very first way I tried to make some extra money online when I was a beginner to making money on the internet. But since joining my first paid online survey site, which was survey scout btw. I’ve learned a thing or two on what to look for before you join any paid survey site. The main thing I quickly realized after trying out many of them is that not all paid online survey sites are equal. Make sure you always read the fine print, some sites are misleading.

What to check for before you join a Paid Online Survey Site

  • do they charge a membership fee just to join
  • the minimum amount before payout
  • the different opportunities they offer to make money other than just surveys
  • how stable the site is, nothing’s worse than a “fly by night” company
  • if they have a referral program and how much they pay
  • do they have a 2nd tier referral program
  • do they offer bonuses
  • have a forum
  • is their proof that their members make money

Since I’m an affiliate marketer now, there’s many ways for me to make money online, so really I don’t spend to much time with survey sites anymore. And I don’t like steering people in the wrong direction either, so I don’t promote survey sites that charge a membership fee which could make me some decent money. I just wanted to be upfront with you before I gave you my opinions and reasoning why CashCrate is the only paid online survey site that I am a member of and recommend.

The total amount is $724.29, which I made in one month.

How to make money with CashCrate

I wanted to give some pointers on making more money with Cash Crate. First off, join and tryout any of the offers you would be interested in. Cashcrate actually gives you money just for trying out new offers from many major companies. I joined a few offers that I was going to join anyways and made a little money. Some of them pay pretty well, while others only pay like 50 cents for joining.

The other way I make money from Cashcrate is participate in any of the surveys or other opportunities that you maybe interested in. I did a few, but I’m not to interested in that sort of thing, so I really didn’t do much. But everyone’s different, you might enjoy or make decent money by some of those methods.

One of the main ways I made extra money with Cashcrate is by their referral program. A referral is getting others to join Cash Crate via your unique url which they will give you once you join. Anyone you refer to Cashcrate, you’ll make up to 30% of their earnings plus a $1 when they complete their first offer. And anyone they refer, you can make up to 20% of their earnings. This is a continuous flow of passive money, just start referring and you’ll see your earnings rise rapidly.


Getting referrals isn’t to hard at all. I mean think about it, paid online surveys are more popular than ever and Cashcrate is totally FREE to join with more opportunities than any other survey site. When I was putting some decent effort into promoting Cash Crate (like when I first joined) I was getting a lot of referrals and now just passively promoting, I still make a little money everyday. Plus, once your a member, you’ll get plenty of resources and tips on getting more referrals.

Tips on Getting Referrals for CashCrate

Make Real Money with CashCrate – Multi Tier Referral Program

By MD On February 9, 2010 5 Comments

Just 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, make money by trying out different offers, 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.

Update: Here’s one of my Cashcrate checks below, that I made in one month for $724.

Sorry the picture is kinda blurry, all I had at the time was my phone cam, which takes very poor pictures. I have received many payments from Cashcrate since I first joined them several months ago and their program only gets better. They have a lot of bonuses and specials usually every month that helps put even more money into the pockets of their members. They’ve never been late with a payment and you can choose to get paid by check or direct deposit. What are you waiting for go join Cashcrate right now! How can they be a scam? They are FREE to join and their forum is filled with pictures of other Cash Crate members checks.

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 a Ton of Easy Money Just from Referrals. It costs nothing to join, and has multiple ways to make money with referrals. Who wouldn’t want to join? Think about it, with your skills and connections, easily get a ton of sign ups 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.
