Review: Inbox Dollars

Overall: Thumbs Up

Well folks, I’m nearly going cross-eyed from staring at the computer screen so long, but I guess that comes with the territory. Anyhow, here’s the skinny on InboxDollars. It’s a “Paid To Read” (PTR) site that also includes “Get Paid To” (GPT) offers, Surveys, and games. The site is easy to navigate and easy on the eyes.

PTR e-mails from InboxDollars are among the easiest to read and confirm of all the PTR sites I’ve seen, and they pay pretty well by comparison - 9 emails over a two day period earned me a cool $0.35. You don’t have to look at the e-mail for a long period of time either, which is a plus.

When it comes to GPT offers they have a nice selection and payout seems comparable to other sites. The GPT offers are sorted well and they have a category for 100% free offers displayed prominently so it’s easy to find.

InboxDollars has an interesting approach to surveys - every one completed pays $0.5. Of course, just like everywhere else you may start a survey and find out you don’t meet the criteria and get the consolation of an entry in the sweepstakes.

Playing games for cash looked too good to be true, although for a moment I saw my wife making us millions! The catch is that for every $1.00 you spend playing games InboxDollars gives you a nickel. I’m somewhat old school when it comes to playing games online, I just think they should be free. But, maybe this is a bargain for someone else. For me, I’ll be skipping this section.

InboxDollars pays for referrals - you get $5 when someone you referred reaches and requests a payout.

The minimum amount for payout is $30, which doesn’t seem like an impossible number to reach. They only pay by check, no paypal or any such modern method. Payments are Net 30 - so if you cash out in January your check will be mailed the 1st of March.

Overall, this one gets a thumbs up. Remember: GPT, PTR, and such are not going to make you rich or even be a full-time gig but, combined with other income streams, they do add up.

P.S. - Not sure how long this will last, but currently InboxDollars gives you a $5.00 bonus just for signing up.

Associated Contents New UNLIMITED EARNINGS Program

My top two recommendations of all time for people looking to make money online with no investment are 1. Write articles for cash and 2. Create a website/blog and monetize it to the fullest. Every other way to earn online pretty much falls somewhere in between those two concepts. Today I wanted to tell you about some awesome changes that have just been made to Associated Content (my all time favorite paid-to-write company). AC has added a brand new feature that totally ROCKS!!!! They have now given all of their writer a chance to make UNLIMITED EARNINGS off of every single submission, whether it is exclusive or non-exclusive rights.

First let me give a brief review on what Associated Content is and how it works for those of you who may not be currently working for this company. I’ll also share my own experiences.
Associated Content (AC) is a website that is host to an amazing amount of articles, all written by every day people like you and I. They have articles on every single topic you can think of from cooking to sports to news to adult reads. AC is the best site of all time for anyone who is looking to read about virtually any topic. Individuals use AC to get information for themselves as reading material, for school reports or any other kind of project they may be interested in. Businesses also use Associated Content to find material to purchase for their websites or for other promotional materials. So as you can see, AC is a necessity to anyone, no matter what their walk of life. Whether you are seeking medical advice or you just want to read up on the presidential debate, Associated Content is the #1 place to do it.
I began writing for them over a year ago and have gigantic success. I love their company because not only do they pay you UPFRONT for all of your work but they also open the doors to unlimited possibilities.
Besides winning many of their excellent contests, I have been able to get life changing offers through AC that I never would have been able to accomplish on my own, In November of 2006, The Sun Tribune Newspaper spotted on of my Associated Content articles about regifitng and liked it so much that not only did they feature the article in their newspaper but they also conducted an over the phone interview with me!
In February 2007 I was offered an incredible job through AC. I now write exclusive articles for the hot and trendy website handbag.com. The pay per article is excellent plus it gives me the opportunity to cross promote my work and get my name out there in a completely different field besides being the “work from home guru”.

Associated Content is amazingly cutting edge. They have excellent performance tracking software that allows you to get up-to-the-minute updates about every aspect of their company. You get to know what stage of review your article is at, how much you are going to be paid, how many views each of your articles have had and do on. Working for a company that makes you feel so secure is a blessing.
Another thing I absolutely adore about Associated Content is that there’s no limit to how much you can make. You can submit as many articles as you’d like, as often as you’d like, 24 hours a day. There’s been many months that I have submitted over 70 pieces! If you think about my earnings for 70 pieces @ approximately $9 each, that’s $630 a month! If I was able to devote more time to writing, I could easily make $2,000 a month JUST FROM AC!

If you have not signed up to write for AC, you can sign up here.

Now, onto the “New News”!!! As I mentioned, AC has created a new, awesome feature that has me so excited! It’s called the “Performance Bonus” and it is for every single author (aka “content producer” / CP)।
The way it works is that for every 1,000 page views your content generates you are paid an ADDITIONAL $1.50.

Get PAID to CHAT Online!

Work from Home: Mylot
Rating: TBD
Good: Get paid to chat! What could be better than that? Low cash out amount of $10!
Bad: Unsure.

Mylot is a fun way to make a few extra bucks by basically chatting with other users. They have a community of over 30,000 people and millions of postings. if you contribute to the Mylot Community - whether it is by posting a new discussion, responding to a current discussion, commenting on a current discussion, or referring friends, you earn money. Members are paid on a level of activity.

Posting and responding to discussions is actually really fun and easy! You can create a discussion about just about anything from dating to food to children and so on. Responding to topics is a breeze too!
Plus you can make extra money by getting people to view your photos, which can be easily and quickly uploaded into your profile section.

Mylot is a fun alternative to regular online chatting using myspace or other blogging forums. By becoming a mylot member you have the option to participate in super deep discussions about topic like religion or politics or you can just meet people and answer fun questions such as, “What is you favorite cheese?” And I have yet to deal with any “jerks” on this site! Everybody is very open-minded, unlike other forums.

In addition, Mylot is a superb way to PROMOTE your articles, blogs or websites! You can easily link to them in every appropriate discussion or begin your own topic related to them! For example, I write numerous reviews about online employers and work from home companies. I have been able to link to my articles in every topic that asks, “Where can I find legitimate online work?”
This not only give me page views on Associated Content, but I also am able to post links to my websites and hope for clicks as well!
I have been a member of Mylot for almost one week now and I have already noticed an increase in my Adsense account.

The best part about Mylot is that you can cash out at $10! I love this as an alternative to companies like Adsense that make you hit $100 to get paid or Shareasale that request $50 worth of earnings before you get your check.

Since I have not been a Mylot member for very long I can not tell you what the real earning potential of this site is. I have read that some users are stuck at .02-cents while other users are making $50+ every day – even when they don’t log on! But I can tell you that I have had a total blast creating discussions and reading responses. Plus, as mentioned earlier, I can promote my work. I do suggest checking it out! But I warn you – it’s addicting!

Gather.com - Another Paid Opportunity

I was told about Gather.com by my girlfriend. It seemed like a pretty cool way to earn online so I decided to check it out.

Upon entering Gather’s website, I gotta say, I was pretty impressed! The site is amazingly nice and very user friendly. This is a breath of fresh air because 90% of recommendations I receive are for less-than-appealing, low budget, poorly maintained sites. Gather.com is everything but that!

My first question was, “How do we make money?”

After reviewing the site I came to the conclusion that Gather appears to have the best of all of my favorite site combined. You can earn by publishing articles (poems, blogs, whatever), commenting on threads, uploading images, chatting, etc.

My next question was “How do they pay us?”

In Gather’s FAQ’s section I located the following blurb:

“Gather will make money by displaying advertising to people who use Gather's services. It just seems fair that we share our advertising revenue with you based on the quality and popularity of the content you contribute on Gather. We will also share some of our revenue with you if you choose to use the site actively, exploring content that others write, searching on Gather and on the web, and inviting your friends, family, and colleagues to use the site. We will pay occasional users in points that you will be able to use to purchase goods and services from Gather partners in a few months. We will pay frequent users, who write great content consistently, in cash if they choose.”

With that being said, Gather Points can be cashed out for gift cards, prizes or money.
Every “point” is equivalent to 2 cents. If you hit $50 in accumulated points in a month you can get paid in cash. These payments are made via Pay Pal. (that means you’ll have to hit about 2500 points in a month to get cash).
But how possible is it to hit this cash out mark?


Some pretty cool things about Gather.com is:

1. YOU own YOUR content! This is pretty cool because it gives you the opportunity to publish whatever you’d like. You can take advantage of gather.com by using it as a tool to promote your ventures, whether it’s your company, your website or so on.
2. You get additional points for referring others.

Get Paid to Accept Phone Calls: Nothing to Buy!

How would you like it if I told you that you could actually MAKE TELEMARKETERS PAY TO TALK TO YOU? Wouldn’t that totally make your day? Lol. Well, your day has been made! There’s a new company called “Brring!” that has totally pushed the limits of advertising and earning money. They have came up with a system that forces telemarketers to listen to advertisements before they can speak with you on the phone. Here’s the cool part – for every ad the telemarketer listens to YOU EARN!! The first 10 advertisements will earn you $1 each and typically every ad after that will score you about 0.05 cents. Here’s the details:

You sign up for a TOTALLY FREE Brring phone number. Then, every time anyone calls it – friends, family, telemarketers, bill collectors, etc, you earn money. As soon as the short advertisement (10 seconds tops) is done playing, your calls are automatically, instantly forwarded to your personal phone and Brring is completely out of the picture. People don’t “have” to call your bring number, but they can if that is the number you give to them.

Cool stuff about Brring:

• You can customize the ads your callers hear.

• You get to select the ringback tone of your choice. Generally a ringback tone is the standard ringing sound your callers hear when they call your phone and wait for you to answer. With Brring you can pick whatever noise/song/sounds you’d like it to be! And there’s no cost to do so! All you need to do is upload whatever you’d like it to be.

• As mentioned, if you have callers you don’t want to hear ads – mom, grandma, boss, etc. they simply call you on your normal phone number as usual.

• You DO NOT need a Brring number in your same area code! You can select a number in any area code you’d like.

• You only need to earn $10 to be able to cash out. So you will get your first cheack after you have received 10 calls, then your next checks will come after about every 200 calls. But if you think about it, 200 calls in one month is only about 6.5 calls a day.

Ways to Earn Even MORE with Brring
If the .05 cents per call isn’t enough for you, now you can earn even more with Brring in the following ways:

- Import your friends off of Facebook and get .25 cents

- Complete profiles for each of your callers. Every profile you finish will earn you .50 cents!

- Refer others to the Brring program. For each referral you’ll get $1

- Set ad playing rules. Every time you set an ad playing rules for one of your callers profiles you will earn .05 cents

- Share your number with others. Each person you share you new number with will give you .05 cents!
