Paid online surveys are indeed the perfect part-time job for college students. If you’re a college student then chances are you are broke. I know that is a stereotype, but most of the time it is true. I know in my case it is definitely the true. I am currently a junior in college and my workload is increasing by the day.Therefore, I do not have the time to go out and find a job. Even if I wanted to find a traditional job, I do not think that I would be able to in these tough economic conditions. So, I decided to search for opportunities to make money online. I spent countless days searching the internet trying to find legitimate online money making opportunities. After a few trials and errors, I believe that I have found my niche. Since the beginning of August 2010 I have been working with paid survey sites. Currently I am a registered member of more than twenty paid survey sites. Since signing up with these survey sites I have been paid multiple times.
The first site that I ever signed up with was CashCrate. They have been around since 2006 and have established a great reputation. This is a gpt site. GPT stands for get paid to. The company pays its members to complete daily surveys and offers, shop, and refer other members to the site. If you do not want to go through the hassle of completing offers you can just do the daily surveys and still reach payout for the month. The company just added three new surveys. This new addition brings the total amount of available daily surveys to five. Each surveys pays from $.70 to $ .80. Therefore, if you just completed surveys you could earn around $4 each day. In one year you could possibly earn about $1400 just by completing surveys. It did not take long for me to reach their payout threshold which is $20. I am now waiting for my first check to arrive. If you would like to see hundreds of payment proofs you can visit the company’s payment wall which is located on their website. CashCrate is a perfect site for beginners to start their online money making journey. There are tons of blogs and websites devoted to giving tips and tricks on how to succeed on the site.
I definitely enjoyed seeing my earnings increase on CashCrate, but I wanted to explore more ways to make money online. As I stated earlier I am a member of more than twenty paid survey sites. I think that is the key to increasing your chances of earning the most money. If you find one good site that works for you that is fine. However, you can multiply your earnings by joining multiple paid survey and gpt sites. In less than a month of joining all of these sites I have earned close to $100. I know that may not sound like much, but it was FAST, EASY, and FREE. Some of the paid survey sites that I have been paid by include, but are not limited to the following Pinecone Research, Opinion Outpost, and SurveySpot. I really want to shoot myself in the foot for not starting my journey sooner. I hate to think about all the money that I could have earned.
My advice to someone who is trying to find legitimate companies to work for online is to do your research. In regards to surveys you can visit the survey police’s website to read reviews on the different paid survey sites that are out there. For get paid to sites look to see if the company has forums and explore in there if they allow guests to do so. Similar to CashCrate there are also many blogs and websites devoted to other gpt sites. You would be doing yourself a favor by looking all of them over.
I targeted this article towards college students, because I know how difficult it can be to balance work and school. However, paid survey and get paid to sites can be beneficial to anyone trying to earn some extra money. If you are interested in making money online then why not give join up and give Cashcrate a go.
Summer means sports. Sports mean records and history. And so far this summer it seems that records are being broken and history is being made every day.
First, in baseball we saw Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay make history by throwing the 20th perfect game in Major League history a mere 20 days after Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden threw his perfect game on Mother’s Day. Halladay’s perfect game also marked the first time 3 perfect games had been thrown in a single calendar year going back to Mark Burhle’s 2009 perfect game. We also saw what could have been the 4th get stolen from Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Gallaraga when with 2 outs in the 9th inning first base umpire Jim Joyce called Jason Donald of the Cleveland Indians safe when he was clearly out. This call could go down as the worst and most costly in Major League history.
On the golf course, we saw the U.S Open be held at the prestigious Pebble Beach for the fifth time. We saw Irishman Graeme McDowell take an early lead after round 1, a phenomenal putting day by Phil Mickelson in round 2, a gutsy late charge by the worlds #1 Tiger Woods in round 3, and a catastrophic collapse by Dustin Johnson in the Final Round. When the final stroke was counted, it was the Round 1 leader McDowell who was left standing. He because the first Irishman to win the U.S. Open and the first winner from a European nation since 1970.
And on June 22nd, we saw what would be the beginning of a Wimbledon tennis match that would break multiple records and go down as one of the best ever. A match between the 23 seeded American John Isner and Frenchman Nicolas Mahut that would span 3 days and last a total of 11 hours and 5 minutes. Isner and Mahut battled on Tuesday, each winning 2 sets. Isner won the first set 6-4, Mahut took the next two 3-6 and 6-7 (7), and Isner battled hard to pull out the 7-6 (3) victory in the 4th set. Following the 4th set, play was suspended due to darkness. The players were set to return Wednesday morning to play a 5th set and decide a winner. This was when the madness began. In the fifth set, there is no tiebreak, meaning play continues until one player takes a 2 game lead after that player has won at least 6 games in the set.
Isner and Mahut battled point after point, game after game for 7 hours and 6 minutes and were still unable to decide a winner. Both men used up every ounce of strength, will, and heart they had before play was suspended due to darkness…again. The men returned to court 18 for the final time Thursday morning where after an hour and 5 minutes of play John Isner ended the match with a huge backhand return. The final score of the 5th set was 70-68.
This match is by far the longest in history, and the 5th set alone was longer than the previous longest match ever. The men played more games in the 5th set, 118, than anyone had ever played in an entire match before. The previous record was 112 which now stands at 183 thanks to Isner and Mahut. The strength and shot that each turned to throughout the marathon match was their serves and they broke the record for combined aces in a match by netting 215. Each man also broke the world record for individual aces in a match. Isner finished with 112 and Mahut with 103. This match will overshadow anything else that happens at Wimbledon this year, and will be the talk of the tennis and sports worlds for weeks to come. This is one of those moments in sports history where people will remember where they were when it happened.
I can tell you exactly where I was for the marathon match, as well as McDowell’s U.S. Open victory, and the perfect attempts of Halladay and Gallaraga. I was sitting on my couch watching the magic unfold. Cheering, booing, feeling the pain of the players, and MAKING MONEY. That’s right, I was making money while sitting on my couch watching sports history unfold before my eyes. You may wonder how this is possible, and I would be more than happy to share. I was making money with CashCrate.

Nowadays more than ever, a college education is something that many young people are pursuing with the eventual goal of getting a high paying job to independently support themselves. With their high school graduation caps having just barely come back down to the ground, these student that make up our future are forced to make plans for college. And the unfortunate reality is that a lot of those plans involve large debts.
Nearly two thirds of college graduates carry some form of debt, whether it’s unpaid loans or maxed out credit cards. The fact of the matter is college is ridiculously expensive nowadays, with the rising tuition costs far exceeding the rate of inflation. Not to mention extra expenses from high priced text books and other college essentials.
Once students get the debt though, they regularly have to get smarter about money and start cutting corners. Many students who had fleetingly enjoyed the freedom of living on their own at a college dorm will move back in with their parents to cut down on costs. They will put the pursuit of more education on hold because they have too many loans already. Or they will even take jobs they would have normally turned down to make the money they need to pay off their loans. Not only that, many young people are often told to start putting away money for their future and retirement as early as possible, but will have no chance to do that when they make just enough to pay the bills.
So what’s a prospective college student to do? After the usual scramble for grants and scholarships, (which are being given out much thinner due to so many more people enrolling in college) and part time jobs (which are also being snapped up by people being hit by unemployment during these hard economic times), one can look online and be surprised at some of the money making options out there. There are many websites out there where you can get paid for doing simple things like filling out surveys or participating in free trial offers.
An excellent one, CashCrate, is great because it is really up to you how much effort you want to put into making your money. One can simply complete offers, which include the surveys and trials, deciding if any of the spare few that require money or a credit card are worth it, or can avoid those and complete only the free ones. One can spend good amount of time referring people to the website and get a part of their referrals earnings along with your own, or simply not bother with referring at all. When it comes to CashCrate or any website like it online, if enough time and effort is put into it, anyone could be making hundreds of dollars a month. And if you’re a college student in debt, you know that any penny is helpful.
It costs nothing to join, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain so why not try it out and give it a go, I can’t promise you that you will be making thousands and never have to work again and anything that does is usually a scam, but I can promise a chance to make some extra money every month to help with the bills and the usual living expenses that every College student has. Try it out here.

Most survey takers give thoughtful and high caliber responses to the surveys they receive however there are always a few bad eggs…
This post will explain exactly what survey quality checks are, why they exist and what happens if your responses to a questionnaire don’t meet these quality screening requirements.
Why is there a need for quality checks?
Survey companies, strongly believe that your attention is the most valuable thing for businesses and you should be rewarded for your participation in research campaigns.
With this in mind, surveys are designed to deliver the highest quality research data to clients so that they can improve their products and services.
To this end, a number of quality control measures have been put into action to ensure that the responses collected meet and exceed industry standards.
This is a win-win situation. The happier market research clients are, the more surveys you will have to do and the more you will be paid!
All free text responses are checked for offensive or inappropriate language.
Research surveys now contain censors which will detect any profanities or offensive language such as swear words. Should you use inappropriate language, an error message will usually appear on your page which will not allow you to progress until you have revised your response.
Remember: If you submit truthful answers to surveys which contain no bad language, you don’t have anything to worry about.
Should you break any of these rules you could be looking at the closure of your online survey account!
Incomprehensible responses include text such as ‘asdfdadfadfad’ or ;kjkjkjkjkjkjkjlkjl’
Survey responses which contain incomprehensible text can not be delivered to clients, which means you do not get paid if your responses are discounted.
Remember: If you think about your answers and type carefully, you don’t have anything to worry about.
The time it takes you to finish each research survey will be checked against the estimated completion time to ensure you don’t speed through.
When a survey is created in the system it estimates the amount of time it takes to complete. The estimated completion time for a survey is based on the time it will take to read through each question at an average reading speed and provide considered responses. The estimated time for each survey usually appears at the bottom of each invite. Completing a survey in a substantially shorter period than the estimated completion time tells that your answers were rushed and thoughtless, or that you didn’t read through the text properly. Because of the promise of high quality data (well-considered answers) to clients, your responses will be discounted, which means you don’t get paid.
Remember: If you read through questions at your normal pace and consider your answers, you have nothing to worry about.
All survey responses will be checked for inconsistent or inaccurate answers.
Examples of inconsistent or inaccurate responses can include:
• responses which contradict other responses you submit during a survey eg saying you have a household income of $20,000 or lower per annum but also saying you have 3 or more luxury cars;
• responses which contradict information stored in your profile eg answering ‘Male’ in a survey but having the gender ‘Female’ stored in your profile; and
• selecting all available responses in a multi-response question in order to qualify for a survey.
Grid-style Questions
For grid-style questions, examples can also include selecting answers in a diagonal pattern or all in one column or row. Should a survey detect inconsistent answers in any of your survey responses, your survey could stop while you are part way through or your payment for completing the survey can be deducted from your account balance.
Remember: If you submit truthful answers to surveys you don’t have anything to worry about!
It’s a breach of most survey sites Terms of Service to submit responses to a survey that are:
• offensive or inappropriate;
• incomprehensible (jibberish);
• rushed or not considered;
• inconsistent or inaccurate;
Terms of Service are taken very seriously and there are some severe consequences for breaching these rules!
Remember: You agreed to the Terms of Service when you signed up so it’s your responsibility to ensure your answers are truthful and considered.
What will happen if you are caught…
Should you break any of these rules you could be looking at the very least non payment for the survey taken and the closure of your account!
• forfeiting any payment you received for participating in a survey;
• being blocked from receiving any further surveys;
Remember: If you submit truthful answers to surveys you don’t have anything to worry about!
So now that you know what not to do when it comes to getting paid with surveys online, why not try doing a few and see how quick it is to earn easy money online, I highly recommend Cashcrate and think it is well worth joining.
CashCrate is one of the highest quality GPT (Get Paid To) sites on the web; I can tell you from personal experience. The reason for this is the wide range of money making opportunities that CashCrate provides for it users. These include an excellent referral system, simple offers/surveys to complete for cash, and lastly a point system where you can redeem points accumulated through offers and games for prizes.
At this point, you are probably wondering: “Well it sounds nice, but how do I make any serious money using CashCrate?” The answer is through the referral program that CashCrate offers. In fact, this program has the best rates for referrals out there, weighing in at a hefty 20% for what your referrals make and 10% of what their referrals make. So what do these numbers mean? Well, it means that you earn that much of each person’s total earnings. Obviously, there is a lot of potential held within this system. Another interesting and unique aspect to the CashCrate referral program is the level of referrals. For example, after you accumulate a certain number of active referrals, those that earn you money, the premium that you receive from each of your referrals increases by a significant amount. And the earning potential does not stop here…this is only one minute part of the site!
Many CashCraters however do not utilize the referral program, which may be a mistake in some cases; but they can still accrue a significant income through the offers and surveys that CashCrate provides for its users. There is never a shortage of these, and CashCrate always makes an effort to obtain the best ones for its users. When I first started out on CashCrate, I made around $36 for only an hour and a half of work. That was all I did that month, but imagine what could have happened if I did that once a week. For just 6 hours of work, I could have made $144. And this ‘work’ is not very difficult. Typically, an offer entails just filling out a form, submitting it, confirming something, and then getting paid. CashCrate also offers daily surveys that you can do two of each day for about a dollar or so. If this is all you do for the entire month, then that is already about $30. At this point, it is probably necessary to discuss how CashCrate will pay you. If you meet the minimum payout with a month (typically it is around $20), then CashCrate will send you a check for the amount of money you made with their site. It is as simple as that. However, it is not all work work work on CashCrate.
CashCrate also offers a multitude of services in order to make you CashCrate experience more enjoyable. Most notable of these are the forum and the games. The forum is particularly nice because it provides a meeting space, per se, for CashCrate members to communicate with each other and share tips about their experiences. It can also be very helpful because many experienced members are willing to help out new members who may have some questions about starting out. As I stated earlier, one can earn points as well through completing offers. However, if you are really after points, this is where the games come in. Unlike other sites that offer games of luck, CashCrate games are truly a test of skills. CashCrate offers games such as solitaire, mahjong pyramid, snake, and many others. When one competes in tournaments, they can accumulate points which can be redeemed for a prize. Prizes include gaming systems, gift cards, and other much coveted items.
Most of the people I know who have tried this program are exceptionally glad with their joining it. Like most people, they were skeptical at first, but when they got the nerve to sign up; they began to earn money immediately and became immersed in the CashCrate experience. Even if you are not sure about making money online, I urge you to sign up for CashCrate. From personal experience, I can tell you that it is the best get paid to site out there and I am sure you will enjoy it, so what are you waiting for, join it now.
