Cashcrate the first GPT site I tried.

It is hard to figure out what is a worthwhile opportunity on the internet and what is not. Well is Cashcrate worth your time?

I took a look at cashcrate and it was kind of interesting and I was able to earn about $10.00 in about a half an hours time. I ended up watching you tube and seeing what others had done first and how they surf through these ads quickly. Now I read some people in the forums on the cashcrate website and some people were saying that they were making around $100.00/ month with very little work. Now at this point I would have to say that I have no way of refuting this but I am a little skeptical.

First I am going to explain what cashcrate is. It is what is called a GPT (get paid to). This is exactly what it sounds like. You get paid to go through a bunch of advertisements and have them served up to you in waves. Now Cashcrate separates the offers into offers that require a credit card and those that don't.

How to do the non-credit card offers work. Most of these are like 15 pages of ads that you must surf through to get the bronze, silver, and gold offers. Each one of these ads are yes or no and you must click through these until you reach the silver and gold offers. At this point you can submit this to get paid. You will be paid anywhere form $.25 to $3.00 for doing this. Now each one of these series of adds will promise something like a $100.00 to a $500.00 gift certificate. To get one of these offers you must sign up for a service. Now you do not need to sign up for the service to get your credit at cashcrate.

How to do the credit card offers. These are offers to sign up for a service for a free trial period. This would be something like Stamps.com or Netflix. These require a credit card and are suppose to be able to be canceled (within a set period of time) without a charge. These pay anywhere between $3.00 and $20.00. I have not done any of these offers because I do not like giving my credit card out like that.

As far as I have heard, cashcrate is a reputable site and people can make money there. It is open to people 13 and older. I will verify how this works. The jury is still out as to whether people can make a $100.00 per month. In my opinion, this is not a nice way to make money. It is just to annoying for me to click through all these ads to make a dollar.

The one thing I will say, however, is that the money looks real and I think that someone could easily make $20.00 in a one hour sitting. Maybe more if they try the offers that require a credit card. If you are interested in finding out more about this site, the site is in the two hyperlinks at the top of the page. I will report more as I find out more.

I wish you success.
