May Update

Didn't really have time to do as many offers this month, but I got a few more referrals. Made a bit more today, about $5.

Gotta get back completing those offers! Good thing there's a lot of new ones that have popped up in my absence.

Good luck in June!

Total March Earnings / Referral Numbers

So I haven't gotten my check yet, but here's how much I've made in March. It says April, but it's all from March.

41.14 isn't bad for about 3 hours of work. Also, I started out with 6 active referrals this month, and more than doubled them.

Goal for April: $80.00

Tips on getting offers to clear

1. Use Firefox. Offers will credit faster, and more reliably

3. Clear your cookies every couple of offers.

2. Only do a couple offers a day. Spending too much time at once will be boring, and the offers most likely won't all clear.

3. Register several extra emails. When offers don't credit, it's usually because there are many offers available from the same company, and once you've already done it, they have your email address and they don't need it again. So what I do is go through the offers and find a list of offers that are all offered by different companies, and use one email for all these offers.

4. Leave offer windows open for at least a couple minutes before clicking submit, and then wait a couple minutes afterwards to close them. Make sure you've completed the offer.

Take Surveys/Complete Offers for $$$

The program you will be using is called CashCrate. This program pays you to complete offers, or take surveys. It sounds like a scam but here's how it works.

Various companies (Netflix, Gerbers, Blockbuster) want you to look at their ads/offers. Offers like,

"Sign up now and receive a month free!"

CashCrate brings all of these ads/offers together onto one site, and gets paid by these companies to get people to look at them. So CashCrate is giving you about 75% of the money that they are recieving from the companies, and they're keeping 25%.

Start Completing Offers



Sign up to the site here

Now create an account using all your real information. You don't need a credit card, paypal account, or social security card to sign up.

All you need is:

1. Name

2. Address (So they know where to send the check)

3. Email address (recommend that you create a new email specifically for your CashCrate account)

4. Phone number (which you'll never use, unless you do the trial offers)

So your signed up, here's how you start making money.

Step 1

Create a new e-mail address. This address will be overrun by spam, so using your own personal email is ill advised. You will use this address to fill in offers with, and it must correspond to your CashCrate email, so once you've created this e-mail, change your CashCrate email to the email you've just created.

Step 2

Download another web browser program. If you use Internet Explorer, download Firefox (or vice versa). Unless you don't mind deleting your cookies and web history every couple minutes in your regular browser. Deleting your cookies helps more offers clear faster.

Step 3

Download Roboform if you're on a PC, 1Password if you're using a Mac. This will allow you to fill in long, text address forms with a click of a button, saving you lots of time.

Once you have Roboform installed, create a profile exclusively for CashCrate. It must include a real street, and the street must correspond to the zip code you use, but that's as far as the real information that you'll be using. Unless you want telemarketers to call your phone constantly, and have spam mail, fill in this form with a fake name that is near to your real name. For example, if your name is Joe Smith, fill in Joel Smyth. The telephone number can be fake too, just use your normal phone numbers first 6 digits. The area code has to correspond to the area code in your address, so keep that in mind.

Now you're ready to start doing some offers!

Go to the Complete Offers section in your CashCrate

Set it to "Show: 100% Free" and "Sort by: Payout", and go to the last page of offers. It's always best to get the cheap offers out of the way, because they add up fast, and they are also very easy to do.

Now, click on one of the offers. Something like this should show up.

It just looks like one of those annoying popups you may get. But instead of closing this popup, you're going to fill it in.

You should have a Roboform installed by now, and have the toolbar on your browser, so here's where it comes in handy. Just click it, go to your "Crate Profile", and it will fill in your email without you having to type one word.

Next, an address form will come up. Fill in your information with Roboform, and get ready to refuse some offers!

Your browser window will have something like this.

Click no, skip, or pass until you reach this next screen.

Now, open two of the links in the silver, platinum, and gold sections (the link to the next section is found at the bottom of the page). Then, go to your CashCrate and click submit. After you click submit, clear your internet history, and make sure to clear your cookies.

You're done! Each offer takes about a minute and a half, so you can potentially make 10 dollars in an hour, and that's only the cheap offers! Once you get up into the .40 or .50 offers, you can make up to 15-20 dollars in an hour!

However, this doesn't include the money that can be made using referrals, which will be covered in the next post.

Referrals

If you want to increase your cashflow using CashCrate, here's the best way to do it.

Get Referrals.

Every person you get to sign up using your link, gets you 20% of what they make. And 10% of anyone who they sign up makes! And if you get enough active referrals, they'll even raise the percentage to 25%.

Here's some tips on getting referrals.

First, take your cashcrate link and shorten it, using http://www.shorturl.com/
This way, it'll be easier to remember. Also, it's shorter (Genius!).

I had my url shortened from this http://cashcrate.com/264179

to this http://www.alturl.com/mu2

A lot easier to remember than a 6 digit number. This way you can advertise your number outside of the internet.

Post your link in grocery stores, bulletin boards, online forums, anywhere you can think of. There is no limit to the money you can make with the combination of completing offers and referrals. It may take a little bit to get the ball rolling, but once you do, you'd be surprised at how much money you can make.
