Doing jobs online which can be referred to as freelancing as become a popular way for people to make money.

When I first heard that Amazon had set up a service where your average joe can sign up and complete tasks it took my interest.

We all know how big a company Amazon is and from reports it has come out they pulled in whopping $232 million last year. (find a source).

However with the amount of money this company is pulling in is it possible to make a great deal?

What Does MTurk Mean?

MTurk stands for Mechanical Turk and it is the last part of the platform name.

Now even know you what it means, you may still not know what a turk is.

Well the meaning behind it goes back to the 1700’s where a chess playing machine was created. 

Now Amazon created this crowd surfing platform for researchers to have access to a huge audience of people. That is crowdsourcing in a nut shell.

What these people will be doing is a range of human intelligence tasks, so you may be able to complete some surveys, fill in sheets with data and more.

How Much Does It Cost To Join

While I have known about Amazon’s Mechanical Turk program it wasn’t till recently did I sign up.

You will be assured to know that process is easy. Here is how it works, once you head on over to the site you will see a button to create an account.

From here you have two options which all depends on what your looking for.

You have the ‘researcher’ option where you can create tasks for people to complete.

But the reason your here is to make money so you will want to create a worker account.

While it is easy to sign up there are still some things to do which should take about 5 ish minutes. 

First create an Amazon account if you haven’t got one already.

Then lastly fill out a worker registration, this is mainly to learn where you are registering from.

The last part is not in your control as your request will be pending for up to 3 days, if your accepted in you will get an email so make sure to look out for it.

Earning With ‘HIT’s’

So those Human Intelligence Tasks I was talking about earlier, well there called HITs and thats how you will earn your money.

When you get accepted you won’t be able to start doing lots of tasks. This is because all members are put into a trial period. 

You will have only 100 HIT’s per day to work through and must do at least 1 within 10 days.

Each one pays you in cash and the amount you get depends on how long it is and the difficulty.

Its worth noting that you don’t get credited straight after completing one, it will be submitted off and only then will you get the money added to your account.

How Do You Withdraw Money?

If you have followed all the guidelines from the 10th day onwards you will be able to cash out anything you make.

While Amazon have made big updates to there payment system is seems like right now the options are either a direct bank transfer or Amazon vouchers.

What I Am A Fan Off

1. Nice For Extra Cash

If you want to do some tasks and get paid then Amazons MTurk program is one to add to your list.

Being Amazon which you know is established you can be confident that you will get paid. Not only that there over 50’000 people signed on who are earning with them.

2. Pay For Your Shopping

If you have a Amazon account and already do some shopping with them then through an opportunity like this you could pay for some.

Since you can earn Amazon vouchers it works out great if you have some time to work through some HIT’s.

What I Am Not A Fan Off..

1. Below Minimum Wage

This is the main drawback of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform is the money you can earn.

Even though Amazon have been making moves in the past few years including upping the minimum salary to $15 an hour.

You won’t be making anything like that unless your very lucky. If you want to be earning enough to pay rent then you may need to find another job or maybe delve into Affiliate Marketing.

2. Hard To Get Accepted

If you are looking to join my advice is to do the sign up and then look for other reward sites in the meantime.

That is because the acceptance rates aren’t as high as you would expect.

Infact from my research I found that some users were either declined or never recieved an email back months later.

So see what other opportunities there are and when you get accepted cross over and start working on some HIT’S.

You can also check out these 5 out of the box ways to make money I have used on the side.

How Much Can You Make With MTurk

This is a question I saw asked a lot on reddit and I saw the number change alot from person to person.

It seems that the more time you put in the more you can earn, but the most common comments I read were that making anymore than a part time income is tough.

In fact since most tasks pay fairly low, you will be getting paid less then minimum wage for sure.

That is unless you get lucky with the odd high paying survey.

To put a number to it you could probably be able to bring in between $10 and $1000 a month. 

Again that is big range as it is all down to the hours you put in, potentially you could get more.

Is Amazon Mechanical Turk Worth It?

It is legit so that’s the first question asked, but whether its worth it is on you.

They pay out and do offer plenty of opportunities to earn however some are low paying.

If you want a hobby to fill out a few hours of spare time and also make money in the progress then why not.

However and I have heard of people wondering if they can replace there job with it, I would say no.

Because one its unreliable in terms of payout and two the time to work ratio isn’t great.

It would be more beneficial for you to make online business or do other freelancing where you can earn greater passive income.

Of late I came across a site called GiftsPrizes which claims to a platform where you can get paid to do offers and promote.

What took my attention is the company is claiming that users are earning 3 and 4 figures mainly referring people to the site.

That is crazy and while its possible to make money doing that I will show whats wrong with this sites concept.

As always I will be going in detail so in this GiftsPrizes Review you will know by the end whether they are your ticket to 3 figure payouts a day.

What Is GiftsPrizes? 

GiftsPrizes label themselves as a influencer monetization platform, so in other words the service is for people to make money using there social media.

Its similar to InflencerCash which if it wasn’t for the change in branding you would think was owned by the same people.

On the home page they say you can get $10 for every friend who joins the community. Which is crazy.

Affiliate marketing is a real thing these days where people earn a commision promoting products.

But if someone is getting paid that amount just to sign up for a site, alarm bells are already ringing for me.

On the image there you see its possible to make $2000 according to them, so I’m guessing all I need to do is invite 200 people a month. Is that right?

How Do You Sign Up?

I was thinking is it worth signing up as just spending a few minutes on the home page told me everything I needed to know.

GiftsPrizes haven’t disguised much and there crazy rates make you wan’t to turn back.

I signed up not only to see whats on the other site but understand how easy it would be if I invited someone to it.

Without exaggerating it took me 10 seconds, only requiring my email address, which makes me question why would company be paying $10 just for one detail.

It seems like bad advertising and them overpaying.

But more likely to be the case is there tricking you, not paying out and are have gained more users out of you.

Yeah that does seem the case.

If the company hasn’t come across dodgy already you also have a $25 sign up bonus.

It would be cool however it counts for nothing as none of the opportunities are legitimate.

Whats On The Other Side?

So once you have an account you will see this. Which is one click away.

A dashboard with your current earnings on the side, which is saying $25. You also have six offer walls in front of you.

Now either the website was launched within a day or they have just forgotten to add links as nothing is clickable.

I tried each of the offer walls with none of them responding, I also tried clicking on the ‘need help’ button in the bottom left corner which didn’t work.

If you run in to any problems with any of the non existent ways to make money you will be stuck.

Related Post: 5 Out Of The Box Ways To Make Money Online

How Do They Pay?

One button that does work is the ‘withdraw’ one, here you are able to get a payout.

However you will need at least $30 before you can get one. They have the option of PayPal and PayTM.

In regards to times there is no info, I will assume for the time being never.

Where GiftsPrizes Went Wrong?

I was going to over the reasons why GiftsPrizes is a scam but that has become so evident by now.

So instead I will talk you through where they have gone wrong.

1. Empty Dashboard

So let me get this right, you make an account however any opportunities that were shown on the homepage are nowhere to be seen.

There seems to be no sign of a referral link so you can invite people to the site.

Nor is it possible for you to complete offers, its as if they have put in images on the site instead.

Apart from that the website is empty and looks a rushed job.

2. Overhyping Payments

You will see as a sales tactic to make them look realistic is random users being paid ‘x’ amount just a few hours ago.

Apparently they are cashing out hundreds of dollars to there PayPal, which makes no sense as the site doesn’t work.

If we track back to the home you would have noticed ‘$2000 a month’ which is a lie.

3. Won A Award?

They also mention that they are the number one influencer monetization platform however I have not seen there name mentioned elsewhere. There is also nothing online that backs up this claim.

I doubt that a site that is launched within a few months can straightaway become a #1 platform, it doesn’t work like that.

Conclusion

This goes without saying but GiftsPrizes is a no go, in other words don’t even waste your breath talking about them.

There is no sign of any life on the site and the claims they make are ridiculous.

Making thousands a day can be done online but with a site like this as you can tell its not possible.

I have experience promoting companies online mainly through affiliate companies and you won’t see a company pay 10 dollars for an email address. It just doesn’t happen.

So if you have come across this GiftsPrizes Review looking to see if they are genuine I hate to break the bad news.

If you do want to pursue a passive income online, you can check out affiliate marketing like I mentioned above.

This is my go to way to make an income online so I couldn’t recommend it anymore if that is a route your searching for.

Talk soon,

Josh

GiftsPrizes Review – Your Ticket To An Easy $200/d?Read More

Gaming is great, and a lot of people think the idea of playing games is an ideal job for them.

Now while it’s hard to make a lot of money doing that, some sites pay you in spare change to try out a few new games.

GG2U was launched earlier last year, offering a platform for people to earn money online doing different activities.

It has caught on with many gamers as one of there selling points is ‘paying people to try out new games’.

Being a gamer myself, I can understand how that has created some hype in itself.

I will tell you in this GG2U review if they are an ideal opportunity for anyone wanting to play games in return for rewards.

So let’s delve in.

What Is GG2U About?

GG2U first launched there platform in 2018, this started with a beta test in March to see how people would react to it.

The site itself is a Get-Paid-To site so everything you do will translate to points that can be withdrawn.

From game testing, surveys, watching videos and more.

The owners behind the site have been in the industry for many years setting up GPT sites over ten years ago.

How Do You Sign Up?

Being no longer in beta release the site is fully launched so I thought it would be the best time to sign up.

So you know what to expect I have made a GG2U account, which by the way doesn’t entail too many steps.

First thing to go over is who can join.

You must be 18 to make an account, it is possible to join as a teen but you need permission from a guardian.

There is no requirement for where you can join from either.

For joining you will get a $1 signup bonus, which in order to get you just need to fill in the box of details on the homepage.

The next step has nothing to do with registering they will encourage you to complete your first offer.

That will get you some credits on the board, but you can skip this.

I wasn’t expecting the sign up to be so short but from here you will be at the GG2U dashboard.

In front of you, you will see a few things, the status bar showing you how much you need to earn to get paid.

It should show $1 out of $7, which is the amount you need to acquire.

The other feature you will see is a range of tiles this is all the possible ways you can make money, as you can see in the image below.

What Opportunities Do They Have?

Earlier on, I mentioned the variety of ways they claim you can earn. There is a handful of them available to you, so let’s go more in detail.

1. Playing Video Games

Playing video games is one of the first opportunities that come your way on GG2U.

Under gaming offers, you will see a list of games you can download on either your phone or computer.

How this credit is each offer as its own terms. So the company is looking for people to either play a game for a certain amount of time or reach a level.

Next to each game, you are given a block of text which includes all the info and terms you need to complete it.

You must follow all the terms to get paid, though.

One example and this one pays very well is – Game Of Kings.

It is a mobile game that gives you 1500 coins equal to $15, however, requires an investment in time because you need to reach level 21.

GG2U does talk about this on Reddit and other platforms that the amount you get paid reflects how hard it is to do.

If surveys appeal to you can also have a look at Ebuno.

2. Survey Routers

There are 21 survey routers on the site which you can get paid to give your opinions.

Variety Of GG2U Survey Routers

​Each one has different surveys, and you will also see next to them the number of points they pay.

Points range from 50 ($0.50) to 120 ($1.20). Some of the routers require you to click on them to see the number of points they give out.

How much you will get is to do with a number of factors. For e.g for the quick surveys then you can expect lesser payouts.

The survey section is good, in my opinion, as you have a choice of studies to do.

3. Offer Walls

GG2U has partnered with 14 offer walls to give you further ways to make money.

With the amount of available finding an offer to get some points shouldn’t be too hard.

Offer Walls can be quite general in a sense you can get paid to do a range of activities.

So you may also find more games and surveys to check out here.

With these and the range its a good idea to go through all of them and complete whatever pays out best for you.

You will also find some will have the same offers but for different rates so always to best to have a thorough look.

4. Videos

The way the videos work is different from other GPT sites.

The opportunity itself is you get paid points for watching videos, however, you are working towards a silver token.

How you get one is by watching at least 200 points worth of videos.

So baring in mind that videos give you 1 or 2 points each you will need to watch quite a few to get one.

Once you have watched the amount required and got the silver token $1-$3 will then be added to your balance.

5. Promote

For every time you refer somebody, and they go on to redeem a reward, you will get a 5% cut.

Initially, it may sound good as your getting rewarded for others hard work however, there are a few issues.

Firstly the rate is not only low but worse than competitors out there.

Most sites pay at least 10%, a site I have used in the past named PrizeRebel even pays 30%. 

So you can see that the low rate is quite poor compared. Secondly, not everyone you invite will stick around to get paid. 

Some people join sites like this do a few offers and surveys before finding something else.

I’m not saying GG2U is terrible, but the likelihood of all your referrals sticking it out is unlikely.

What would be better is if they paid you a percentage for there earnings instead of having it off the cash-out.

So if you want to refer others and get paid for it, I would recommend either checking out these reward sites or a business model I use called Affiliate Marketing.

What Are The GG2U Payout Times?

PayPal and Bitcoin at Coinbase are the two possible payment options that you can get, you will need to have made at least $7 first.

You can also choose from various eGift Cards. On the site, there is a link that will take you to all the options for each country.

That includes Amazon, iTunes, Best Buy, Visa.

For the first payout, it is made easier since you have a $1 sign up bonus already put towards it.

What I Am A Fan Off

1. The Site Is Presented Well

As soon as you have made an account, you notice a clear layout in front of you. The centre of the page includes all the opportunities to earn.

You know where everything is, and GG2U have done an excellent job in this department. 

Some GPT sites either have too many drop-down menus and features scattered across making it hard to find.

But here a user could sign up and start making money instantly as its all easy to work.

2. Discord Customer Service

GG2U sparked my interest when I came across there Discord. For those of you who do not know Discord is a platform where gamers can talk with one another.

So with this site being a gaming platform, it does make sense, but what I like is if you have any concerns you can add them on there and talk to them.

You don’t have to call them using your data, and while the email support is also there, you won’t need to wait hours for a reply.

People online seem to be pleased about this feature, and it is a good addition.

3. Talk You Through Everything

That stood out to me as they are transparent when it comes to the offers. In particular, the ones that require you to spend money.

I don’t recommend the pay to complete offers, but in this instance, they show you how to do it and your profit.

Offers are a standard feature on GPT sites however I haven’t seen this before.

This offer explains what I’m talking about. 

It is for MyClean and instead of just saying purchase the product, and we will pay you, they tell you how you benefit from it.

So you are spending $20 but getting coins that equals $30, so you gain from that transaction which is cool. 

Obviously, you will want to pay attention to the terms and also look at the company itself.

That is to make sure you receive no further charges however, that is a good example.

What I Am Not A Fan Off

1. No Different To What’s Out There

Apart from the video game aspect, you will find a lot of the opportunities such as the surveys and offers on most other reward sites.

Making them not as special as some make out. Yes, people do love it and are getting paid, but some sites are on the same level if not higher.

I say this because with the games aside I have used a number of GPT sites and I can recognise the same products being advertised.

There isn’t too much being brought to the table here, but hopefully since the site is still new, they can bring in new ways to earn. That will make some stand out more from others.

2. Video Games Is Misleading

Some of you may not agree with this, but when you go on their website, you immediately see controllers in a few places.

Look at this photo below, where two people look like there playing on a console.

So when you see these, you would associate them more with Xbox and PS4 rather than a PC whos users who game tend to use the keyboard.

But the problem here is that some people will think that somehow you can get paid to test games on a console, this is not the case.

So if I was misled at first to think this, I don’t think I am the only one.

3. 5% Is Notably Less Than Most Sites

Now lastly and for a site that doesn’t have too many opportunities, the referral program lets them down.

They are encouraging users to bring in people to expand the company, but the rate is so low it’s not worth the effort.

Like I touched upon earlier, it’s not just that, but the whole referral program is bad.

I have done some calculations and worked out that if someone joins and receives there earnings, you will get $0.35 per person.

Not too long ago I reviewed a company called InboxDollars who give you $1 if someone just joins under your link.

So I will leave you to work out whos selling people a little cheap here.

Is GG2U Legit?

Are GG2U legit? Yes.

However, with some of the aspects I have noticed while reviewing them, it looks like they are far from an end product.

Being new to the industry, this is all understandable, and with a good team behind them, I’m sure they will improve in time.

There are some good features to the site, being paid to play games for a length of time is one.

So by all means, if you are a gamer, especially if on your phone or PC then try them out.

You won’t make a lot of money as opportunities are kind of limited.

So if you want to take reward sites seriously your best bet is also to combine them with others.

Here’s a list of the top reward sites I regard as being the best out there and have personally used myself.

You want opportunities that will provide the best way for you to make money, and that is what they do.

That brings me to the end of this GG2U review. Are you a gamer? Have you tried this platform since there release?

Opportunities are constantly being launched within the survey industry.

Here we have a new site in Ebuno being the latest to come of them.

When you find new panels, it’s hard to know whether they are any good as they don’t have much of history.

So today in this Ebuno Review, we will be seeing what they are about and whether it’s worth checking out.

I have made an account with them myself, so if your questions lie in whether they pay and if so, how much then I will tell you here.

Let’s get right into it.

What Is Ebuno About?

As previously mentioned Ebuno is new and has a Swedish team operating them.

They are taking this view of helping people make money with there voice, this will be you completing their surveys.

So when you fill out some questionnaires in return, they are paying you.

That is how all survey sites tend to work.

The company is based in Europe, and if you have seen the homepage, you will see that they have made themselves available worldwide.

How Does Ebuno Work?

If you are 16 or over and from one of the countries shown below, you can make an account.

Before you can access the dashboard, you will need to do two things first.

Firstly fill in the details like shown in the image below, after you will be sent an email within 5 minutes which you will need to verify your email address.

Going back, you can also sign up using a Google or FB account. No matter how you sign up, it shouldn’t take you to long.

How Do I Start Making Money?

Once you have an account up, you will access to your dashboard something that Ebuno have been improving over time.

You will see all the ways you can make money and with

1. Surveys

On the dashboard, you will see all the available surveys that you can complete.

Being new, I was given a survey which paid out at $0.50 for a minute of my time. It consisted of 5 questions.

After completing it which was shortly after I was shown this success page. 

These are brought to you from companies that work with Ebuno which you will find on other survey sites.

In the image below, you will see YourSurveys and Cint, which are popular survey routers.

One of the unique features here is the chance of completions. You are given info on whether you will likely get credited for completing a survey or not.

So way before you get into one, you already know what your chances are that you will complete without being booted out.

The reason why there is a completion score is that not every survey is looking for the same audience.

Some are looking more broad then others, so if you see one saying 100%, e.g. they are after a range of opinions from different people.

I said it was unique as I’m yet to see this one other survey sites, so its a pleasant addition here.

Take a look at:Can You Really Make Money Doing Surveys Online?

2. Profilers

Profilers are linked to the number 1 opportunity but won’t make you any money.

They will present you with various profilers which that focus on different areas.

Ebuno wants to know you more so by getting more targeted information, they can get to a point where you are only getting surveys that are for you.

Now, to be honest, it is a tedious process, and there are 16 of them to complete, but if you do want to use the site regularly its good idea.

Its an investment as over time they say you will also get more surveys.

3. Free Points

On the right menu, there is a way for users to get free points.

To be eligible for this you need to complete two surveys, and if you can do that in an hour, you will get 2 points.

So when next hour comes as you can complete a new two, you will be awarded that amount again.

It’s a small loyalty bonus to get you to do as many surveys as possible.

4. Games

There are three games you can play and earn points at the same time. That consists of Coinflip, Crack The Vault and Slot Machine.

For CoinFlip, you are putting your points on a coin to land on a specific side.

I’m sure you are familiar buy you choose between heads and tails if you guess write you will double your points.

Next up is Crack The Vault, you have the choice between 1 and 100, and if you get the right number, you will get 100 points.

I played it a few times, didn’t win as the chance of your winnings is low.

Finally and continuing the gambling theme there are slots that you can do.

If you get 3 of the same object, you will get the points associated with it.

However, that sums up the games section, but I wouldn’t recommend it as its gambling your earnings, and you could lose track.

This Ebunos was of getting points back and is set up, so they win more in the long run.

5. Referrals

Another way to get some points at Ebuno is by getting people to join the panel.

You could get 10% of whatever they earn, however, if I am honest it’s not great.

​Passsive income is something that is attainable but you won’t be getting much for time here.

That percentage is lower than most sites, and you will find better elsewhere.

A website like InboxDollars will pay you $1 for every person who signs up, which is way better.

How Are They Paying Out?

Originally it seemed as if they pay out through three options, PayPal, Swift and Swish.

However, it seems as though you will only get a payout if the option is accepted in your region, which does make sense.

Since I am from the UK, I was only shown PayPal and to get paid (goes for anyone) you will need to have earned $10.

This is achievable if you consider what is on offer to you.

To get paid, you must do four surveys. First, it looks like you would have to anyway as each one won’t be high paying.

What it does is eliminate those who are getting lucky with the games being able to cash out straight away.

How Can Use Ebuno?

There are two options to use Ebuno you have the desktop version, but you also have the app version to use.

The app as been available for download since October 2019. It also has over 1000+ downloads on the market.

I have downloaded the app to see what its like, and it is a replica of the site.

It’s just made to function better if you are planning to earn money on your phone.

I should note that not every opportunity is at your disposal, games are not there on the app but aren’t so much of an issue as they can quickly be loaded on any browser.

As a bonus for downloading the app for the first time on login you get 20 points, every user gets this.

What I Am A Fan Off

1. Score System Is Unique

The scoring system makes it easy to distinguish which surveys are possibly worth attempting.

One of the main issues discussed by people who do these on various sites is disqualifications.

Trying surveys and then repeatedly being kicked out for not being a fit for it.

It sucks as I have experienced that myself but its something you accept.

You can’t remove or find a way to get past being disqualified as its just companies wanting certain people to answer their questionnaires.

But having a scoring system could potentially save you time as you are only trying the ones that will result in money.

It’s something that would be great on other sites and the fact Ebuno has this scores highly with me.

Shows that they are creating a website that users will have a pleasant experience with.

2. Clean Dashboard

I also like the clean dashboard some of the sites I have tried aren’t easy to navigate around and overall can be messy.

But here you know where everything is and having all the links you need on the right is excellent.

What I Am Not A Fan Off

1. Won’t Make You Millions

I’ve put millions as on their homepage they have stated that the earning potential isn’t high enough to make you lots of money.

But with that said, there are opportunities for you to make money more as a side income.

2. Still Fairly New

Being new isn’t exactly a negative its more the fact you don’t have much to go at this stage.

All I know is that they are continuing to improve their service and have expanded as I talked about earlier.

So there are signs of not only improvement but also potential to be one of the leading survey sites in years to come.

We will have to watch out for them and see how 2020 goes and whether there reputation increases.

For now, though they do pay having seen payment proofs online, so far so good.

Is Ebuno Legit?

Ebuno is legitimate and is paying so if surveys are what you are interested in, you shouldn’t find too many problems here.They have some excellent opportunities, and notably, the score feature will help you make more money in the long run.So, by all means, sign up to Ebuno if you think they are something for you. Along with that and if you’re about those extra income opportunities, maybe take a second to check out these reward sites.You can make money with Ebuno, its possible, but adding more sites and apps will help you make even more money.I believe I have gone over all the areas I needed to cover here. If you have any questions, do let me know.If not I will see you in the next post :)Josh

Ebuno Review – Brand New And Paying Out?Read More

With the amount of survey sites its easy to become skeptical on them as most claim to earn you a quick and easy buck.

However some are anything but that.

So if you have come across this site and wondering is Product Report Card a scam I wouldn’t blame you.

They are a site they claim to offer market research opportunities however initially I found little to know information on them.

If you want to know whether they pay, if getting up to $150 a study true and answers to your other questions you are in the right place.

Product Report Card Review Summary

• Owner: 
• What Are They?: Survey Site
• Cost: Various Costs
• Verdict: Legit
• Recommended: Not really 

What Product Report Card About?

First of all we need to go over the site, firstly you will want to know Product Report Card are a survey panel.

When I first came across this site I wasn’t sure what they were about.

Whether they were a site that pays you to complete surveys or one that shows you how to, similar to a survey aggregator.

However one that comes with limited information.

In fact they lack many of the pages many others sites would have, such as a FAQ and a background page.

Despite coming aware of them now it seems as though they have been around for a number years.

Not as established as one like Inbox Dollars but are well known.

How Do You Get Started?

To see what was waiting for me I made an account using the fill in form on the right.

The process like I stated on the homepage takes around 5 minutes and do bare in mind you will have to give various details.

A lot of which you will repeat in follow up surveys.

To be honest though there is only 3 or 4 pages you need to go through.

This is because once you have made an account you will find various profile surveys.

As you can see by the image below you will have 10 profilers to complete all based around different topics.

Insert Image

The idea behind it is that it will help you qualify for more surveys.

There is quite a few to do so unless you are thinking of investing your time in them I would hold of them.

How Can You Make Money?

While initially its hard to know exactly what you will get out of joining it turns out there is more to it then surveys.

There are a few research opportunities that you can apparently benefit from, so lets have a look at each one.

1. Surveys

Lets firstly talk about the surveys which seems to be the main way for members to make money.

Now we have talked about the profilers which while you don’t have to complete them will get you the most surveys.

I was invited to a survey shortly after signing up without needing to complete one of the 10.

It paid at $5 and also said it took 5 minutes to complete. I tried to attempt it only to be shown this page.

Insert Image

This told me two things, that surveys are hard to get into and that there is possibly a lack of surveys.

From doing further research I found out that both are whats happening here, however I will get into that later on.

So the fact that the survey above is the only one I have been invited too and I have been a member for a week is not a good sign.

Its common for survey sites to offer a number opportunities, sometimes daily so already its not looking promising for Product Report Card.

2. Paid To Review Your Products

This is a unique opportunity that you won’t see on most testing platforms.

Is that over at Product Report Club they will pay you to write reviews on items you already own. 

Now what is normally the case is a company will send you a product and you would give feedback on that, however in this case its the other way round.

Initially I wasn’t sure how you qualify for this but what you need to do is complete all the profiles I previosuly talked about.

Payout Options

In order to get paid you will need to have earn’t $25.

Then isn’t too much information on the site but from what I see you can get a Amazon Gift Card.

What I Am A Fan Off…

What I Am Not A Fan Off

1. No Cash

2. Lacks Info Pages

When I do my reviews I like to look at the site and check out there information pages.

So I can get more of an idea on how they work however on this occasion I found this tough.

Due to them having a lack of pages on there site, its normally standard procedure to have at least a FAQ and even a about us page but Product Report Card don’t have one.

This is tough not only for me but for users who are interested in joining as they aren’t able to do research before joining.

Because honestly while I knew they were a site that were offering opportunities for people to make money I had no clue what exactly they were.

On there site they also have links to there social media but from checking them out I found they are inactive. Infact the last time they posted was nearly 2 years ago.

3. Have To Put In Time To Get Anything Back

I know this how it works in a lot of occasions however what I found is that in order to make any money it seems you must complete all the free profile surveys.

These are ones like I mentioned don’t payout however help you get matched with the ones that do.

But with all the opportunities surveys included having to do so many are these pre-qualifiers seems unnecessary.

There not uncommon but on other sites you are able to normally sign up and make money straight away.

I have been a member for a few weeks now and am yet to receive any studies, so I will have to keep an eye out. But so far its not looking good.

Is Product Report Card A Scam Or An Easy $150?Read More

If you have come to this UserCrowd Review to find a way to get paid to take surveys, well this could be what you’re looking for.

I had a good experience when the opportunities were previously at Usability Hub.

Since they have had an update, I thought I would visit them too see if they are still good.

I know many of you are going to want to see if they pay or not, so I will be covering that and more.

UserCrowd Review Summary

• Owner:Usability Hub
• What Are They?: Testing Platform
• Cost: Free
• Verdict: Legit
• Recommended: Yes 

What Is UserCrowd?

UserCrowd is a usability platform that pays people to complete short tests, or in other quick design surveys.

They are the testing platform of company Usability Hub. It used to be integrated into the same site.

The original name of the testing website

However, they decided to make a separate website hence the creation of UserCrowd.

So now they have one for the consumers/testers and a site for the businesses out there looking to conduct market research.

What is a plus is that the new site as undergone a revamp and many users have reported how its easier to earn money.

They are one of many testing websites out there, you also have the likes of UserTesting which is also well known.

So with that said, let’s look at how to get started.

What Is The Point Of UserCrowd?

A frequent question is what is even the point of survey sites and getting other people to test.

And what they probably mean by that is why someone would pay you to tick some boxes?

It’s a fair point, as when you think about it, you’re getting paid to answer a few questions. 

With Usability Hub, it is a company to help other businesses get the data they require.

So like the name of the site says, they want to know the usability of there products and services.

Researching anything is vital, you have it in sport, business, history, science, basically everything.

But by doing research, it generally helps you to improve your knowledge on a specific aspect.

So when people complete tests over at UserCrowd, e.g. you, you are giving companies more information to help further develop whatever there working on.

Without market research, a lot of the companies out there wouldn’t exist.

You also have other survey sites like CreationsRewards and InboxDollars that all rely on market research to bring in revenue as a business.

Creating Your Account

If you want to start doing design surveys, the first thing you will need to do is sign up for UserCrowd.

There aren’t too many requirements to join. All you need to know is that you need to be 18 years old. That is because the panel is open worldwide.

The process takes around 5 minutes and requires you to run through a few steps. Let me run you through what this entails.

1. You will need to enter your email address and also create a password (This will be required to access the studies)
2. Accept the terms of the Tester Agreement. By ticking four boxes, you are telling them that you will give full effort and comply with these terms.
3. The next step is to complete more details on yourself. Since they are a testing platform getting a better understanding of you will help them send relevant surveys to you. That includes how good you are with computers and the number of hours you tend to spend online.

It took me about 5 minutes to sign up and very shortly after I received my first survey.

This one awarded me $0.20 and asked me a few questions on social media.

Very easy to complete and was 4 or 5 multiple-choice questions. After completing it, I saw that the payout was credited to my account instantly.

How Much Money Can You Earn?

The only way to make money is through there surveys, so let’s talk more about them.

Surveys don’t pay a great deal with the payout at between $0.10 and $0.50 per one you complete.

Payout after completing my first test

When you consider that these are all short, it is justified, and you’re getting paid well for your time.

They do say that how much you can get within that range depends on the survey itself.

If it requires more thinking or time, you should be paid more, then the shorter ones.

UserCrowd Payout

Once users have made $10 worth of credits, you will be eligible to request a payout.

$10 worth, by the way, is 100 credits and you can get paid out via the popular PayPal.

The payment system is straightforward, and as long as you have followed the terms and conditions, you will be paid out as usual.

You will need to make sure each survey has been answered accurately and that you have met there.

So if you try to game the system by rushing surveys, you ultimately won’t get paid.

If your payout as been cleared, you will be paid within 30 days. Which while on the face of it seems a long time.

What I Am A Fan Off

1. No Problems With The Surveys

While some would argue the surveys don’t pay out well enough. I would say that with the effort required and what you need to do, it is completely fine.

You are getting paid up to half a dollar for going through a few pages of questions, which, as I mentioned above, are very simple to do.

Surveys are a great way to make money online as you will see in this guide I made not to long ago.

Another aspect I like about them is they tell you what to expect before you start them.

They will tell you the duration and payout, so you know what to expect.

So if you are pushed for time, you will know if you have the time to complete.

What I Am Not A Fan Off

1. Worldwide But Only Accepts PayPal

I have no idea which of the accepted countries get surveys regularly, but with the panel only accepting PayPal, it means not everyone can get paid.

I’m listing this as a negative as anyone can join, but I know some countries don’t even accept PayPal, so that will be a problem for those people.

I love PayPal as it makes getting paid and paying others a breeze, however not everyone as this payment source.

You are limited in this department as there isn’t another choice.

Overall I like UserCrowd and what it has to offer so if it can add a few more options it will improve it a lot.

I’m also sure it will encourage more people to join.

2. Income Potential

On reflection, it does seem like UserCrowd won’t pay out too much.

Referring to earlier you will be getting $0.50 if you’re lucky as a maximum payout, you also have the survey I completed for half of that.

The point is UserCrowd isn’t a solution to making lots of money. Instead, you can use it to make a little extra money.

It even states on their site that users shouldn’t expect to make a living using the site.

3. 30 Days Is A Long Time

I get that UserCrowd has specific guidelines that have to be met and therefore, they need to check the respondents survey submissions before sending them.

But 30 days is quite a long time for people to see their money.

It wouldn’t be too much of a problem for me, but I know some will want to see it arrive quicker.

When you put it in perspective, the top survey sites tend to payout within seven days at the least.

Some pay instantly and some pay longer, so UserCrowd isn’t uncommon.

If they were to improve this aspect along with the payout options, then It would appeal as people would know that they will be getting there money quickly.

4. Lack Of Studies

While doing my research, I stumbled across various reviews saying that the surveys were few and far between.

One person even said they had not been invited to a survey in 3 months, which is long.

Not only does this back up why an opportunity like this is only extra cash, but getting surveys is not guaranteed.

Meaning you can’t rely on them. So if you are to join, all you can do is check-in from time to time to complete one when you get invited.

You will be invited via email so you will know when one comes your way.

Lastly, the amount of studies is going to depend on your location. They are global but won’t mean that everyone will get equal opportunities.

I have some experience with this since I have been a member of many survey sites.

Being from the UK, I have joined panels where more opportunities for people in the US and Canada.

I’m not sure what the exact reason is for this, probably to do with the market research companies out there looking for feedback.

While that is frustrating, it happens and seems to be the case here with UserCrowd.

Is There A UserCrowd App?

Despite the fact you will be reviewing apps, there isn’t an app version of the site out there currently.

That means you will only be able to access it through the website itself, which can be done by typing UserCrowd on a mobile/tablet.

If you have a device that is optimized and enough ram to handle simple processes, you should be fine.

The survey I completed earlier was done on my tablet, and I had no issues, so I doubt you will have any either.

Is UserCrowd Legit?

There’s no doubt that this testing platform is legitimate and a site that anyone can make money with (that is if you have a PayPal account).

I do recommend them as their surveys are quick and easy to do.

However, don’t rely solely on it to make money, if you treat it as a side income you will do just fine.

I know I did name a few aspects I wasn’t a fan of, but it’s more room for improvement then problems stopping me using them.

Testing opportunities are great in my opinion, however, if you’re looking for even more ways to make money.

Well I have put a page together of fantastic opportunities, just like the survey element where you can get paid to give your opinion.

You will also be able to watch videos, complete tasks, download apps and more in exchange for rewards.

If you are interested, check out the best rewards site list here.

That brings this UserCrowd review to an end. I hope you learnt one or two bits of information you didn’t know before.

Do you have any thoughts on them, if the case drop a comment just in the section below.

I will get back to you soon,

Take care,

UserCrowd Review – Get Paid $10 Doing Quick Surveys?Read More

Are you interested in online opportunities such as surveys then CreationsRewards is something that may appeal to you initially.

If you don’t know they are a long term site that has been supposedly paying your average joe to do tasks like surveys and offers on the internet.

I am always interested in sites like this one, especially the established ones as technically they should be one of the better ones out there.

Being founded years ago gives them time to grow and find out what works.

However, not all the time, so this is why I will be bringing you a CreationsRewards Review.

You will know by the end if they are legitimate or just a site that will waste your time.

CreationsRewards Review Summary

• What Are They?: Reward Site
• Cost: Free
• Verdict: Scam
• Recommended: No

What Is CreationsRewards About?

CreationsRewards is a panel that was launched back in 2000.

They are a reward site which means they pay people to do different tasks online.

As of right now, they support four countries being the USA and Canada. They are also primarily based in New Jersey, United States.

You don’t need to pay to take part and earn, but you do need to be at least 18 years old to join them.

What Is The Registration Process Like?

Before I speak about how you sign up, CreationsRewards are giving out bonuses to new members.

You can get $5 when you join the site, however, to have that credited you will need to earn at least 5000 points in the next 60 days.

This reminds me of another panel I reviewed not to long ago called InboxDollars, who also gives a $5 bonus.

So it does seem to be a familiar theme to entice people into using their services.

Anyway moving back let’s have a look at what you need to do to start earning.

On the homepage of CreationRewards, you will see a box with four details.

You will need your email, make a password and confirm it also you need to state the region you are from.

You may be surprised to hear that its only 1 of 2 steps you need to do.

The last one that remains is to activate your account by looking in your email inbox.

Now that’s done you are free to do whatever you want. You will find opportunities by scrolling down and also on the left-hand side of the page.

Some of you may notice the dashboard looks similar to another site.

That it because it copies an almost identical layout to Swagbucks.

Let’s check out each of the ways you can make money.

What Are ‘CR Points’?

Before I talk about opportunities, let me talk you through the currency CR Points, so you are less confused later on.

So CR Points is the currency that CreationsRewards use to credit people for doing stuff on their site.

For each task, the credit you will receive will vary. It all depends on what you do and the difficulty of the job.

To help you understand the worth of each CR Point, I have worked out its 1 cent per 2 points. So for, e.g. if you earn 200 CR that equals a $1.

How Can You Make Money?

There are several ways you can start earning CR points over at Creations Rewards.

I am now going to talk about each opportunity and whether it’s worth it.

1. Surveys

The surveys they have on ones that can be done daily and are updated every 24 hours with new ones.

There is a list that features about 11 survey routers that you can complete a survey with.

Some are better than others in terms of disqualification rates and payouts. 

However, looking at how much they pay, you can get between 80 and 160 CR each. 

That means you will be making around $1 for each one you do.

Since these are survey routers, these are only companies that CreationsRewards work with.

They simply supply the surveys to you, they don’t create them as they aren’t a market research company.

If you want to learn how you can make the most of doing surveys online this useful resource I made will be useful to you.

2. Daily Videos

You can also earn points by watching their daily videos. You will get 1 CR each, and there is a range of categories to choose from.

These consist of Celebrity, Music, Food, Viral, Best Life, Gaming, Jet Set, Movie Buzz, Tech Talk, Laughs, Staff Faves and Chillax.

Each one pays the same and videos are updated daily. Like I said though you are only getting 1 point per video, so it is a low-income opportunity.

With that said, it could be worth having some in the background while doing other tasks or just going through a few of them to get to the minimum threshold.

3. Offers

Similar to the way surveys work, CreationsRewards has partnered with companies that bring a variety of tasks for users to complete through what is called offers.

These offers can require you to do anything, so it’s worth browsing through these to see what credits well.

There are 10 offer walls that you can choose between.

These also can pay over 1000+ CR each however that’s only some as many pays much less than that amount.

4. Shopping Cashback

With the shop and earn section, you can get rewarded for doing orders with well-known retailers.

These include the likes of Best Buy and Walmart. You can get rates from 1% – 20% depending on the retailer you shop with.

With this opportunity, it’s not one to earn points with more something you can take advantage of to save money on shopping you would be doing anyway.

For, e.g. if you shop at Best Buy, you could buy the items that you were saving up but also get the 1% back, which admittedly for that example isn’t great.

5. Visiting Websites

When it comes to searching up other sites, we all do it daily, most of us will be browsing the web throughout the day.

This opportunity apparently pays you to click on websites.

You will be shown a list of sites and once selected, you will be redirected to one where you will earn a few points for your time.

Again very similar to the videos opportunity in that time and reward is low.

6. Win Prizes

What is a feature of most GPT sites is to have features where users can win mainly to keep those loyal members enrolled.

You have a daily trivia games and a daily goal bonus where for each you will earn points for completing. You can also take part in scratch games.

There is also a feature where you can get a bonus by entering a CR promo code. This can be found on there social media pages.

7. Referral Program

You can also make money from there referral program where you are encouraged to introduce new people to the site.

If you invite others to join you can get 10% of the earnings they make.

So lets say you invite your mate Brandon and he earns $10 you would get $1. Without having to do any work for it.

Can You Use CR On Mobile?

While not well-known CreationsRewards have taken their opportunities from desktop to mobile with there app.

​

The app is available on both IOS and Android. It was released back in February 2017 and had over 1000 installs on the Google Play Store.

​

On the app, you have the same opportunities as the website version. So doing surveys, videos and all of that stuff can be done on the go.

​

The only problem though, is having tried to play with the app myself. I wasn’t able to log in as I was shown a screen saying it was disabled.

In the screenshot, it says to contact the app developer which is odd as it looks like its a problem on their side.

4 Key Aspects To Keep In Mind

1. Same Structure As One Of There Competitors

Have you heard of ‘You can copy my homework but make it different’. Well its something that is said in school and it seems to be precisely the case here.

This isn’t a massive con; however, its something I noticed when using the site, and that is a lot of it is copied from Swagbucks.

If that name doesn’t ring a bell its the largest reward site in the world. However, there are so many aspects of CreationsRewards that are precisely the same.

Anyway check this out, here’s two screenshots, one of each sites homepages.

Swagbucks Dashboard

Creations Rewards Dashboard

Very similar right?

The points (similar to SB), the to-do list and a lot of the ways to earn are identical.

Like I said its a not a big problem however you would have thought they would have gone about it more uniquely.

2. Not Enough Surveys

The problem with having daily surveys is there isn’t enough of them to make anything decent.

You have 10 surveys you can complete and after you have finished that’s it until tomorrow.

A lot ask the question whether you can actually make money completing surveys online. 

It is obviously possible having achieved it myself, but 10 surveys a day isn’t much to work with, especially if you are taking it seriously.

The problem here is that it just limits how much you can make and while there isn’t a great deal to be made anyway its just lowered even more.

3. People Not Receiving There Payouts

I always make sure to do my research with each company I check out. To my surprise, I came across review after review, which was negative.

Over at Survey Police, I read from numerous people how they had submitted payouts and still not receiving them.

Those who do receive them don’t get them until a lot later on, sometimes months later. I think we can agree that is not good enough.

What I find even more concerning is that these are all recent reviews which shows that this issue is still happening now.

4. Long Wait Times

I’m not sure why this is the case and considering the site have been around a while the long times don’t make sense.

Above I said how they take 7 to 14 days which is way higher than most rewards sites in the industry.

However, you can only expect to get it within those days if they actually pay. With point three, most people don’t even get paid regardless.

It’s too long when you realise that most of the top dogs pay within a few days. An aspect that won’t have me rushing to use them to make money in the future.

Is CreationsRewards Legit?

I thought I would do this CreationsRewards review and prove those people talking about them wrong.

However I used them and after learning there payout system is rubbish I can now see why the company is getting a lot of bad feedback.

There not even a survey aggregator they still don’t pay as a survey panel which is just strange.

It’s actually a shame as they offer OK opportunities and if they handed out rewards on time then it would be possible to benefit from using them.

But like I learn’t with Surveys2Cash they are just a waste of your time which is a fact!

So if you wan’t to know if CreationsRewards is as bad as what people say I would definitely. 

So Are They Any Rewards Site That Pay Out?

I know and you probably know now that all in all CreationsReward is a scam and unfortunately sucks.

People not getting paid and having to wait months if there lucky is just out of order.

So unless they can sort out that issue they shouldn’t be active or promoting there services.

With that said I wan’t you guys to have options to make money especially if these opportunities I’m talking doing surveys, watching videos that kind of stuff appeals to you.

I’ve gone ahead and made a list of sites I have personally used and recommend to bring in some extra cash.

So check out this rewards site list and see if there are any sites that take your fancy.

I can tell you now you won’t be waiting months to receive your money like you would be with this one.

That brings us to the end though, I do hope that this CreationsRewards review does help you answer what was on your mind.

If you want to leave a comment by all means scroll down to the bottom and leave your say there.

CreationsRewards Review – Are They As Bad As People Say?Read More

Today I came across one that wasn’t like the others, and that is the Smart Dollars scam.

I’ve been using survey sites for years, so when it comes to finding legit sites, I’m generally good at picking them out.

What they say is any user can make $300 completing surveys; however, I had a feeling and was right that it is all lies.

Now check this out as I will show you why Smart Dollars Club is not to be trusted.

Smart Dollars Club Review Summary

• Owner: Unkown 
• What Are They?: Survey Aggregator
• Cost: Various Costs
• Verdict: Legit
• Recommended: Not really 

What Is Smart Dollars Club About?

Now, let’s start with a little background information; however, if you know what scams are like its hard to find much.

What I do know is that they are based in Indiana, USA; however, that’s as far as it goes.

Smart Dollars Club seems to be your standard everyday survey panel and even says you can make up to $300 answering surveys each day.

If you like plot twists then here it is, they aren’t a survey site.

What they are is a survey aggregator but more on the spammy side that is because they are not helping you make money giving your opinions; instead, they send you rubbish.

What Can I Gain From Signing Up?

Well, I’m glad you asked, but I’m afraid the answer is not a lot.

Will you see them surveys once clicking that button on the home page.

Not a chance.

That is all bait to get you to hand over your details, but I will explain all this later.

Now it can be hard to identify whether a site is legit and what the purpose of it is.

But as you can see by the screenshot below, they ask you to give you their email.

So there isn’t a sign-up box like you would typically find, they want you to sign up to there email list instead.

But how you can tell right away is if a company is making false claims and promises.

For instance, the $150 there claiming you can get a survey is not correct as no panels out there don’t pay that much.

I’m sure if that were the case, then it wouldn’t just be Smart Dollars saying that and you would see high rates across the survey industry.

However, being a scam, they will try to entice you with big numbers, know it’s not realistic.

Signing Up Process

So I can bring a full review to you I have signed up. However, I advise you don’t do this yourself as you will see.

First I put my email address like I was told and was taken to this page. As you can see by the image, I was told to verify my email address to get the supposed ‘$100’ on offer.

So I did just that and verified it by checking my inbox, the email was sent straightaway.

But instead of being sent to a verification page which in this case should have been Smart Dollars Club, I was presented with the IPSOS survey panel.

The email says I have to press ‘Join The Club’ to get my $100 however, the page is telling me to sign up to another survey panel.

I also know because I have tried them before that this site does not give out $100 bonuses.

The most you will find is $5, and that is offered by InboxDollars (who are legitimate and one I recommend).

That means that the claim they are making is false and what they are doing is trying to clickbait me into signing up to one of there partners.

At this point and if you had done this not realising that Smart Dollars is a scam, then you would probably clap and say something like you got me.

However, since I have given them my email address (one I made for scams like this), they can now send me to spam my way.

Which is perfect.

So next email they sent shortly after was promoting another survey aggregator company.

One I have already reviewed funnily enough called Surveys2Cash.

But what is shocking yet again is that it said…

I Have Been Chosen Out Of 1% And I Get $150 For Signing Up

At this point, its quite concerning how immoral the people are behind this.

It’s like they can say any number they like and use it as a way to trick people into going through there sales funnel.

I have underlined a few words in that text that are wrong again though they are forcefully trying to get that commission by pushing me to join them.

By clicking on that link, you won’t see another survey on the other end.

Instead, you will be following the same steps as I mentioned earlier. Only this time it’s with another aggregator site.

I feel sorry for the ones that have done this — going through the same cycle over and over again in the hope of a high paying survey.

How Do They Benefit From This?

That’s what I have collected so far, but can you blame those who signed up to Smart Dollars Club.

As $300 a day is more than an average full-time salary and would only require you to fill out questionnaires.

For those of you who are interested in how Smart Dollars Club make their bucks, it is through affiliate marketing.

Its something I recommend as there is a lot of money to be made and the business model is soaring right now.

So every time someones join one of the companies that they send to your email Smart Dollars Club get paid.

Let’s say they get paid $5 per sign up, and they send you 30 companies to join. You can already see how this can be profitable.

I joined only a few hours ago, and I’ve already got a number sent.

Here they will be taking advantage of those who think they will be getting $100.

They are effectively dangling a carrot in front of you and then as soon as you sign up it is then removed.

Because at this point Smart Dollars have been paid and you have been played the fool.

Were getting to end of the review now so let’s go over the five reasons you should stay away from this site.

5 Reasons To Stay Away From Smart Dollars Club

1. False Claims

For me, there is nothing I hate more than misleading, false claims, but companies use it, especially scams.

No guarantee is a strong word to use, and also $300 is a lot as well. But just looking at the above image tells you all you need to know.

It gives you the impression that the people behind it aren’t taking this very seriously.

They are saying you can get hundreds of dollars not only completing surveys but just signing up to places.

It’s just wrong on every level. I told you about a standard sign up bonus earlier being $5 or less.

But when it comes to survey payouts, I can tell you the most established ones out there pay between $1-$5 each.

If you get anything more than that, then you are lucky as they are few and far between.

But hey if saying you will get paid ridiculous amounts will get them more commissions then you can see why they are doing precisely that.

2. So Many Variations

Initially, when I came across the site, I was confused with the domain. There does seem to be many alterations.

There are .orgs, .coms and others.

Not only is that not professional but it already gives you scammy vibes from the get-go.

It reminds me of another dodgy site I reviewed named Zazz Freebies which also many alterations to the site name.

It’s something I would say keep an eye out as its one of the first signs of scam you can see.

3. You Might Get Scammed

They are not just recommending survey panels they are promoting any panel that will make them money.

Earlier I told you how they gave me another survey aggregator so you may end of getting scammed if you join some of these companies.

I know you won’t now since I have you here and I have warned you of them which is good but there similar scams like this one out there.

4. Helping To Fund There Existence

This ties into what I was speaking about earlier in that when people continue to use this site, it helps fund there existence.

So with Smart Dollars Club being a scam and spamming people with irrelevant offers its something you don’t want to encourage.

This is the reason I wanted to bring this review to you as I wanted to bring awareness of this site.

5. No Information About Them

Another reason to stay away from them is the lack of information they have.

You won’t find much out about the owners as they have purposely kept that hidden.

This is not a good sign as it shows a lack of credibility and a clear sign they are dodgy and ready to do a runner.

However, with the revenue, they are making it seems like they are here to stay.

Is Smart Dollars Club Legit?

It became very apparent to me as soon as I stepped foot on the site that Smart Dollars Club wasn’t real.

The false hype and all the misleading they do just show you their true colours that is to make them money not to help you.

What shocked me about this one more is I have reviewed survey aggregators which is this type of site.

However, I haven’t seen the amounts of money this one is claiming on others.

This exists I’m afraid, and sites like this will always be out there, so if you do find one make sure to do some research first.

Alternatively, you can contact me here, and you can ask me.

Any Survey Sites That Do Pay?

So yeah Smart Dollars Club is a no go, so do me a favour by going nowhere near it.

I know that doesn’t help you if all you want is a survey site to make you money.

So here I will put a link to a list I made which features some of the best reward sites I have tried.

That finishes today’s review, we have learnt that for anyone interested in giving opinions for money that staying away from the Smart Dollars Club scam is the best option to take.

Welcome to my Inbox Dollars review.

So your here looking for a new site to earn money with.

Well many would argue there isn’t a better one then InboxDollars.

They claim to pay people to complete a range of online activities using there platform.

However while we know you can make money from sites like, how much can you make and are they even worth it?

Lets jump right in.

InboxDollars Review Summary

• Owner: Darren Cotter 
• What Are They?: Reward Site
• Cost: Various Costs
• Verdict: Legit
• Recommended: Not really 

What Is InboxDollars About?

Inbox Dollars is a reward site that has been around the year 2000.

Over the years they have had millions of people registering making them one of the most established companies in the industry

Now being a reward site they pay your average joe to engage in online earning opportunities such as surveys, watching videos and doing cashback.

Behind The Company

At some point a company has had to start somewhere and over years Inbox Dollars have progressed a lot.

Lets have a quick look at there history and the faces behind it.

Now like I mentioned InboxDollars was created in the year 2000 but by man named Darren Cotter who is still the SEO to this day.

Darren started the company which still in college. He had an idea that revolved around regular people being able to make money online which also being able to benefit from it himself.

Since launching they have paid out millions and are one of the oldest ones still going.

Since 2006, They have paid out over $35 Million In Rewards

As Inbox Dollars continued to grow they branched out to support other regions.

This includes specific panels for the US, Canada and also the United Kingdom.

The panels they own to this date consist of:

• Inbox Dollars – Launched in 2000 for US residents
• Daily Rewards – Founded in 2014 To Canada Residents
• Inbox Pounds –  Launched In 2012 In The UK
• ​SendEarnings – Open Internationally And First Site Made In 2005

Each panel is made for each region, this means if your from the US you can’t sign up for InboxDollars..

So for e.g even though I reside in the UK not only can I join Inbox Pounds I could sign up to Send Earnings also.

Moving on though and in 2016 and also 2018 Darren was recognised for his success and won the Maverick Icon and 2016 Titans Of Technology Award

Today I will be concentrating on just InboxDollars however I will revisit some of the others in the future. So lets have a look at how you can sign up.

Is It Free To Sign Up?

Lets get the first question out the way and that is who are they for. Inbox Dollars are free to join and you don’t have to pay to make money with them.

On the homepage only two details are needed. The email address and password, this of course will be what you use to log in to your account.

Moving on you will need to press the confirm my email address button. They will then send you an email to your inbox so you can verify it.

This will take you about 5 minutes to do and once done you should see this page.

As you may have seen by the top right corner as $5 balance on log in. This is because by signing up each member gets $5 as a welcome bonus.

You won’t be able to cash this out straight away as the company would then head for bankruptcy.

However its basically an incentive for you to earn the $30 required to cash out. I’ll talk more about payouts later.

Before we move on to the next section of the review, lets talk about the last of the bonuses.

On top of the $5 you will get another $0.50 by completing the tasks on the list.

From the image by trying each task once and also liking there Facebook page is all it takes to get some more money to get you started.

How Does InboxDollars Work?

For those of you wondering how they work.

Well basically they work with market research companies to help provide them with the information they need, especially with there surveys.

Its a platform of which brings companies closer to the consumers through a range of research tasks.

How Can You Make Money?

One of the aspects Inbox Dollars like the flaunt is the variety of ways you can make money using the site.

1. Surveys

With Inbox Dollars you will be able to complete a range of surveys. Each survey pays out with both profile and normal surveys.

Let me talk about each one.

Profile surveys are aimed to get to know you as the survey taker a little more.

This way they can put relevant surveys within your dashboard. Profile ones don’t tend to pay however they pay you a few cents for each one.

From the image below I was given an interests and household profiler to help understand me more.

Once you have completed all of them you will start to receive normal surveys that pay out better.

2. Cash Back

The cashback opportunity doesn’t offer a way to earn money but to save money. Using the sponsors on the site you can get cashback each purchase you make.

There are two sections with the shopping feature.

Cash Back Shopping

First of we have the cash back shopping that features over 100 online retailers. This includes the likes of eBay, Aliexpress, Macy, Target, Walmart.

The amount of money you get back does depend on the individual offer as each one as a different rate. 

You will get either a percentage or a fixed price for each purchase. The percentages range from 1% – 10%.

Groupon

Groupon have partnered with Inbox Dollars to offer another way for users to save money. 

For each vacation you book you will get 5% off. It can take up to a week for it to credit into your account though.

3. Coupons

An opportunity that is fairly new to me is printing coupons.

InboxDollars say you can make up to $25 every day, with a maximum of 25 that you are allowed to print.

In order to get started you need to click on a coupon, verify your email and send it to your printer.

4. Videos

You can also get paid to watch TV, however with this opportunity you are required to download the app.

For each video you watch you will earn a few cents each.

5. Playing Games

Playing games is another way to get money. While just playing these won’t convert into cash you will receive scratchcards that can pay up to $100.

The longer you play them more the more progress you will make and the higher rewards you will have a chance of winning.

Not an opportunity for those who want to get paid per task however it is one of the more enjoyable ways on offer.

6. Offers

Inbox Dollars have different categories of offers that you can take part in. These have been spilt up so you can choose ones for you.

These consist of:

100% FREE Offers

These can be done for free and pay you to do tasks like enter competitions, sweepstakes, surveys, free samples. 

As the above gives it away but these are free however are generally low paying. These credit between $0.50 – $5.00 per completion.

Credit Card

Contrary to the last one these will require some kind of use of a Credit Card. Whether that’s a purchase or signing up for a free trial of a service, it depends.

Now I wouldn’t do these myself as I would normally get myself in trouble by forgetting to cancel the services before getting charged.

However depends on you as by doing just 1 or 2 of these could you get $20/$30+ as they are high paying.

For e.g one of them needs me to sign up for Disney +, Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99 a month.

If I sign up I will get $5. However if you don’t cancel the subscription you will get charged.

My advice is to pay attention to the terms and also note down the renewal dates so you remember.

New Offers

These are brand new offers that have been put up on InboxDollars. These can be a range of both the above.

For e.g one requires me to start delivering with Postmates for $30 while one pays $0.50 to sign up for Kellogg’s Reward Club.

Club Favourites

Next up we have Club Favourites and these are the most completed offers by users.

These are worth checking out as it means this is what other people are having success with because the completion rates are high.

100% FREE Offers

Last but not least we have making money tab. This is where you will find the highest paying offers.

The three I was given paid out a combined $150 in payouts which is huge. The highest paying however was for $100 and that was to become an AirBnB host which is a lot of work.

7. Referral Program

Inbox Dollars have a referral opportunity that catches the eye. That is due to the rates at which they pay.

There is two parts to this feature.

1. Get $1 for every referral who joins under your link. (Capped at 5 people)
2. From there get 30% of everything they earn. For e.g if your referral earns $10 you will get $3.

8. Search

Searching the web will give you another crack at the scratch & win.

For every 4 searches you complete using the sites search engine you will get closer to winning a prize.

You aren’t getting a few cents or points like you would using Qmee or Swagbucks, but being something that takes a few seconds to do it could be worth doing.

How Do You Get Paid?

There are only two payment methods that InboxDollars payout via. You have either PayPal or Check.

However the terms are the same for both with you having to earn at least $30 to be eligible for one.

If you want a PayPal payment you will need an account before going any further. Next you will need to log in to your account and then request it.

To understand how the payments work and answer more questions refer to this Payments FAQ.

What Else Do You Need Know

1. $5 Bonus To Get You Going

While you still need to earn $25 the extra bonus is a nice as an incentive towards your first payout.

I don’t think they should have the minimum threshold as high but at least it is free money.

2. Established Rewards Site

Earlier in the review I talked about the history of InboxDollars and its one that has been around for a long time.

They have been paying for years and are an established panel to use.

3. A Lot Of Ways To Earn

I’ve joined reward sites where opportunities have been at a premium so it is good to see such a selection at your disposal.

4. $30 Is A Tad High

The minimum threshold is fairly high which means you will need to put some time in towards reaching it.

Making The Most Of InboxDollars

As well as the common questions like is InboxDollars a scam and what not. What else I get asked is how good are they and how much can you make.

Bearing in mind they are a reward site and the opportunities are low I always recommend joining and setting reasonable goals.

There is a lot to do however if you try to make a lot you will get overwhelmed and more then likely make nothing.

Here’s what I recommend from my experiences:

Set Your Self A Time Limit

Time doesn’t exactly translate into money with sites like InboxDollars. It’s more about using your time smartly. 

You could spend a whole day on this site and not make money, trust me I would know. Instead say I will spend this amount doing surveys, this amount doing offers and then maybe I will play a game or two.

Without trying to contradict myself you can then set a goal for how much you want to earn.

Check The Dashboard Daily

InboxDollars update there opportunities on a daily basis meaning you have the chance to get to surveys and offers before they reach there quota.

By simply logging in each day you may find something new to complete that pays at a good rate.

This doesn’t just go for this site as I recommend checking any of the rewards sites dashboards that you are signed up too for anything new.

Weekly Goals

This one ties in with the time limit but what I would advise is giving yourself achievable weekly goals.

An example of goal could be to reach $10 a week which can be easily done by going through whats on offer to you. 

The important part to remember about setting these goals is not trying to make an impossible amount. Yes you can make money but you can’t live off your survey earnings.

Is InboxDollars Legitimate?

InboxDollars is a established site that has been around for nearly two decades now.

Unlike sites I have tried like Surveys2Cash and Survey Compare they have a history of paying.

Like I said they have paid out millions of dollars in rewards to people registered so with that alone I can give you my approval.

We have gone over a number of aspects of the site and the fact that you have a variety of ways to earn as well as an efficient paying system.

That brings this InboxDollars review to a close, I hope I was able to answer all your questions.

If you want to add some more extra cash opportunities to your current roster also feel free to check out these other reward sites I recommend here.

Today I will be bringing you Surveys2Cash review.

Surveys are a big industry online, and new people are getting into it each day.

So when you see rates being thrown out like Surveys2Cash are you can see why the interest is going.

What got my attention about this company is the ridiculous claims they have been making.

If you haven’t seen Surveys2Cash are claiming you can earn up to $100 a survey.

I mean, I have been doing surveys for years now, and I could only hope of one paying that much.

As with most things out there, you have to try them out to see if they are real.

So if you have come across this site looking to find out if they legit and if you can earn money with them then I will answer that in this review.

Surveys2Cash Review Summary

• Owner: Unknown 
• What Are They?: Phishing Scam
• Cost: Various Costs
• Verdict: Scam
• Recommended: No

What Is Surveys2Cash?

Surveys2Cash is a site that shows your survey sites to make money.

At least that is what they say they are, and from the homepage, it looks the case.

They seem to make it clear that their goal is to help you make money giving your opinions. They even chuck in that you can make up to $100 a survey which is very hard to believe.

However, as soon as you start the sign-up process, you can see what the actual goal of the company is.

It’s not to help you, more the other way round.

Why You Shouldn’t Sign Up?

One thing I like to do is show people how to sign up for surveys sites and how they can make money.

But this one is scammy, and one I do not recommend you do. I will explain why in a sec.

Now firstly what they require from you is you fill out a small box of details. That is your name and then your date of birth.

That is for the first page, which is okay, however, on the second page, they ask for too much info.

They are now after your phone number, and under that, they want you to tick the box for them to have consent.

I’ll take an image and put it below so you can see what I mean. But as you can view this consent, it permits Surveys2Cash to spam your phone with loads of offers.

No thanks.

I mean who wants to receive spam calls, people nowadays are trying to limit that has possible not encourage it.

Unfortunately, there is more spam to come, and you know the $100 surveys they promised well check this out.

Here’s a screenshot of the next page of the sign-up that’s if you are silly enough to put your phone number.

(Image)

As you can see, there is a list of offers; if you look closely, you will see one or two reputable survey panels, Toluna to name one.

However, most of it is just rubbish. Like why would someone interested in surveys want to sign up for Fisher-Price?

If you have a kid then maybe, however, it’s most likely irrelevant to you.

As you can its just spam and what they are trying to do is get you to sign up to there partners.

Why Do Sites Like This Exist?

I know, I’ve been asking myself the same question.

The reason they exist is that they have been able to expose a gap in the market.

They have seen how popular survey sites are so they have set up a website to become a sales funnel for them to make money.

It is clever on their part; however, not something that will benefit you.

How they make money is simple, and it’s through signing up to affiliate companies and partnering up with survey sites. 

That is how most survey aggregators do it as they can put their links on their site and get paid a commission for each person who signs up.

You have the likes of Survey Compare, and Survey Spotter whos premise is identical. 

Now with the two, I regard them slightly better despite doing the same thing that is because they show you survey sites.

But in this case, Surveys2Cash are out for themselves trying to get you to sign up to there partners to get commissions.

What’s Wrong With Surveys2Cash

1. Not A Survey Panel Like They May Originally Seem

That is one of the things I hate about these sites, which is how they disguise themselves as your everyday survey panel.

I feel not only is it misleading but it is also wrong. 

So many people go through these funnels in the hope of making money however by are just having there time wasted.

They are looking for reputable survey panels to earn money with but instead of shown irrelevant offers.

Now I know they say further down on the main page that they are giving you aggregated list of surveys.

But even then its still not clear and people like yourself will still get confused on the point of the site.

2. Details Gone Forever (Well It Seems)

We all know that there are companies out there that sell your details onto others for money and it seems to be the case here. 

Infact in this case it looks like Surveys2Cash don’t really care about your details at all.

As you can see from what I was talking about earlier a lot of the places they are encouraging you to sign up for aren’t survey panels and are in fact dodgy.

3. Neverending Irrelevant Offers

What felt forever was going through the pages and pages of offers.

Most of which had nothing to do with why I always there and that is to check out survey opportunities.

A part from a few here and there the first proper survey panels I was shown wasn’t until the last page.

Which means if you got fed up of the spam you may not have even made it that far.

Even then the survey sites that was offered were easily accessible.

What I mean by this is that they are so popular that if you searched the term survey sites they probably would have come up.

This means you do not need to go through 5-10 minutes of rubbish just to find a survey site that pays.

4. No Background Information

What is always the case with sites like this is that you will find a lack of background information.

So if you want to know if they are legit details like where they are located and whos in charge is important in finding that out.

Its important for a firm to have some information as it gives them credibility which is not the case with these.

It does seem like they plan to make money from selling your details and if you do have any issues well it will be tough to contact them.

5. Privacy At Risk

There is a lot to talk about here when it comes to privacy because your details with Surveys2Cash aren’t safe.

That is why I don’t recommend that you give them any details as they make it clear that they may sell it to other companies.

Rounding Off Review – List What We Have Learnt

From this review the number one lesson we have learnt is that Surveys2Cash are not to be trusted and are a scam that will leak your details to other companies.

Not cool. The good news is that I have been able to get to you before you possibly signed up.

That is the problem with the internet, scams will come across as a service designed to help you when in fact its the exact opposite.

So you won’t be making money with Surveys2Cash however it is possible to make money filling out questionnaires.

I have made a list of sites that I recommend to any of you looking to make an extra income online.

There is no spam included just established survey panels and reward sites.

That brings me to end of the Surveys2Cash, hopefully you learn’t a thing or two about this company.

I hope you do make the right decision by staying away from this site, I would hate for them to keep benefiting from taking more peoples data.
