Instant Profitz - Are You Getting The Proper Credits?

Having Crediting Issues? Make Sure You Look Here!

Have you posted in the forum yet? They are pretty helpful there and the Administrator is frequently lurking about. You might tell the moderators of the forum what you are experiencing and see if there's something they can help you with. Sometimes members will pitch in their two cents and their experiences may be similar to your own.

I know one thing I have learned is to make sure that everytime you get ready to do an offer, you clear your cache and cookies and then go back in as if you were starting fresh. There is an article about that here, but I believe you have to be signed into your account to see it: http://www.instantprofitz.com/steps.php

I think, like you, I have signed up for a few of the "My Select Gifts" offers and a "PCH.com" offer and never got paid for those, but I think it had something to do with that article I just pointed out to you (cookie/cache stuff). As a matter of fact I've stayed away from PCH.com offers for that reason.

I have been paid several times over for other "My Select Gifts" offers so I still try those. It seems like I have batted 100% for the offers where I had to use my CC, but most people don't like to do that, so if you are strictly focussed on "free offers" and if it has been over a week and you still don't see credit, I'd definitely go to the forum.

I believe they also have a live AOL Instant Message thingy too if you have that available to you.

I have now reached close to the $200 for the month of March and am looking forward to APRIL!

Have fun!

Survey-Taker Professionals - This is FOR YOU!

"The Survey Pro - For the Survey-Taker Professional"

Have you heard of The Survey Pro?

I have heard of them and have been with them since last November. They provide a free list of survey companies that you can join. I've joined the required 20 on their list to get the initial promised $10 and was paid right away into my Paypal account! If you have already signed up for some of those companies on the list, you just have to provide proof via a welcome letter you may have received in your email inbox.

I also signed up as an affiliate and am waiting for payment on those sign ups by April. If you are interested in making more money while giving your opinion, become a SURVEY PRO AFFILIATE. With the USA campaign, you get $1.50 for every person who signs up under you, so that is another way to make money.

Not all of the survey companies listed have made me money, but I have made around $150 with a few of the companies collectively.

Instant Profitz Update!

Don't Do What I Did!

I hope Instant Profitz is being as good to you as it has been for me!!! I have another update regarding my experience with this great company and I'll tell it to you now.

You can only have one cashout request at a time, so don't cash out until the end of the month or you'll have to wait for the following month to get all of your month's earnings for the current month.

So far this month I earned around $150 of which maybe $20 was spent out of pocket on the S&H and trial offers, so that's $130 profit. Not bad for not really doing much and it's fun trying out new things that I would have otherwise skipped over.

However, I requested a cash out last week (too early) and then went on to earn a little more, so I thought I could cash out twice, you know, have to pending cash outs. Well, not so. So don't do what I did. You can only have one pending cash out at a time.

Have fun!!!

Again the link to this site is Instant Profitz (aff. link).

UPDATE on UPDATE: I was wondering if I could cancel and remake a cashout and happily, this is what I found:

"You may cancel your cashout at any time, and all the money in that cashout will return to your balance. You may also remake your cashout at any time. In fact, you may do this as many times as you want during the month. Just ensure that you DO have a cashout pending on midnight EST on the last day of the month, or you will not be paid on the following 20th!"

And guess what I did!!! I cancelled my initial cashout and now I have all of the money plus the extra money I made in my balance again. Isn't that GREAT!!! Now I can request all of the money I earned by March 31st! I can't wait. I think I'm going to go and complete more "Get Paid To Sign Up" offers. Woohooooo!!!!

Instant Profitz Questions

Questions about Instant Profitz:

Others have asked me about "error messages next to each offer" and "getting paid on freebie offers," so I thought I would make a little comment about what I have done in those cases:

For example: In one of the forums that I belong to, a member said:

"I keep seeing an error message next to each offer...but I clicked on one...which was a master site for "of the month" clubs...All I gave them was my first name and email address. Will I get paid off of that?"

Here was my reply:

I have also noticed the error messages on the pictures of the links, but have ignored them. I always just click on the links and get to the advertised site.

As long as I follow the instructions that are on the Instant Profitz advertisement (Ex. "sign up" or "fill out first page" or "become a member" or "sign up for trial offer," etc.), I get credit.

There has been a time or two where I would not get credit for a freebie offer, but that has not happened often. All of the offers that I signed up for where I had to pay something [i.e. $1 to try a product for 30 days or $3.95 for S&H (Shipping and Handling)], were honored, meaning, I got the promised payment.

Also......just in case you didn't get to read this in previous posts, it can take up to two weeks on a few offers to be paid into your account, but that has only happened to me with one offer. All of the others hit my account either immediately or within a day or two.

If you have any more questions, please let me know and I'll try to answer them for you.

Don't forget to check their forum out. It's a great place to get ideas on the best deals and to be updated on new things or changes that they are implementing.

Surveys and Other "Get Paid To" Products

Questions Answered: Surveys and Other Get Paid To ("GPT") Products

Here are some questions that have been asked of me and I believe you should hear my answers:

1. Can you tell me which of the surveys have already paid you?

All of the survey companies I have listed have paid me more than once. I've been doing survey studies for a little over 6 months and I have weeded out the companies that simply offer possible sweepstakes winnings and also companies that it takes a long time to accumulate points with. I have not listed any of those survey sites here.

I still get survey requests from them, but I don't promote those companies too much since the chances of winning with them are slim to none from my experience and with others it just takes so long to accumulate points that you might find those unbearable, especially if you are trying to make money.

The companies that I have listed either pay cash via Paypal, Check or Points, and the points are not difficult to accumulate.

2. How often do they come and how much do they pay?

I get requests to complete surveys by at least five companies a day, if not more. The amount of survey requests that you will receive really depends on how many companies you have joined and more importantly, whether you have completed their prequalification questionnaires.

These questionnaires are extremely important and are really the KEY to getting and completing survey requests since filling them out affords the company information about you that will allow them to put you in a certain demographic. When they fit you into specific categories, these survey companies are able to send you survey studies that pertain to you and that you will then qualify for and be able to complete.

The payments are slim (sometimes $1 or $2 to up to $10-$15, depending on the request), but a little here, a little there, ends up counting for something at the end of the month. On occasion, I also get free "not-introducted-to-the-market-yet" products to try out and that is payment of a sort too.

How long does it take to complete the surveys you may be wondering? It has taken as little as 5 minutes to as long as 4 weeks on and off if I'm testing a product. For example, I was recently sent a 30 minute TV program on DVD. I was asked to watch the program and then sign on to the site and answer a few questions about the program. After I was done, (this company pays in points) I earned 750 points. That was on top of the 500 points I earned with the prequalification survey that I answered.

3. Do you have to complete the surveys in order to recruit referrals?

Some of these survey companies do not have an affiliate program (like Your2Cents), so you can only make money by participating in and/or completing the surveys. Other companies will allow you to affiliate with them, but they do require that you at least occasionally complete a survey request (like Lightspeed) and still others don't require anything to affiliate with them (like Survey Pro). Making money with Survey Pro is just a matter of affiliating and then getting others to sign up, although you can still make money by completing surveys, but it's not absolutely necessary.

4.Do you know much about paid to read emails? If so, which ones are worth joining?

About "get paid to read emails," I have only joined a few companies like this and have come to the conclusion that they are not worth it to me. I only found Inbox Dollars worthwhile. I've been paid by them twice so far (once with an actual check and I used the earned money another time to purchase a product they were selling). They have a similar deal like Instant Profitz ("IP"), but IP doesn't send emails.

With Inbox Dollars, you get paid to read emails and also can earn money by signing up for offers (freebies or cc required). The tips to making money with them are very similar to the ones that I wrote about in my last post about Instant Profitz.

I am loving Instant Profitz at the moment.

I hope I've answered your questions. If you have any further questions, please comment. I look forward to hearing from you.

Instant Profitz - Over $100 in 2 Weeks

Racking in the Dough - Instant Profitz Tips!

Have you joined Instant Profitz yet?

Here are a few reasons why you should! Money, Money and more Money! Are those enough reasons for you? Instant Profitz is one of the leaders in the "Get Paid To Signup" industry. They have so many offers you can sign up for, but more importantly, many of those offers are absolute freebies to join by just entering an e-mail address or some other impersonal information. You can make anywhere from $0.50 to $5 or $6 on just those offers. However, the more lucrative money is in signing up for companies where a credit card is necessary. Many of those offers can get you to that $30 minimum payout fast!

You can enter sweepstakes, complete surveys or try out products in trial offers. There are so many companies out there that just want you to try out there product and they will pay you.

I recently signed up for an offer where I had to pay $1 to join this particular club, but Instant Profitz paid me $19 to sign up. Isn't that great! That's an $18 profit!

Instant Profitz is definitely a company that you can make a quick dollar with. So don't forget to check them out!

Don't know what InstantProfitz is or need a refresher course in what to do to make it big here? Look at this: InstantProfitz.com Review

TIP: Remember that when you sign up, make sure you get a free email account from Yahoo or Hotmail, because you will be getting a lot of spam mail and this way you can control what is coming to your inbox.

TIP: Also remember that when you sign up for trial offers make lots of notes on when you signed up and when you should cancel if you seriously don't want the product. If you don't cancel within the alloted trial offer period, most times you will be charged the full price for the product and that's not the way to "Make an Instant Profit!"

TIP: Get a virtual credit card or a prepaid card which you can obtain at our local Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy. Why is this important? Because these companies should be limited in the amount of access that they have to your money or credit. With a virtual credit card, you can simply enter in the amount you want to be charged to that card, you are assigned a number (one dedicated number per merchant) and then you use that number to pay for the trial offer.

In the event of a scam or let's say you forget to cancel within the alloted trial membership time period, said companies will have no further access to your money. They only have access to that one credit card number or in the case of a prepaid card, they only have access to the amount of money you put on the card.

So, if you want to sign up for an offer where a credit card is needed, it is easier for you if you get a virtual card or a prepay card instead of using your main credit card. Although I still recommend that you keep track of everything you sign up for and cancel within the required time periods, if you use a prepay card that only has let's say $5 or $10 on it, when the free trial period runs out, if you did forget to cancel, the company will cancel themselves, because your card can't support the payment to continue the membership.

TIP: Finally, after completing most offers you will be credited instantly, but it can take up to two weeks to be credited to your Instant Profitz account. If you have any trouble with being credited, join their forum or send in a support ticket to the administrator. There are some helpful people in the forum, so it would be a good place to connect to people with the same focus as you - making INSTANT PROFITZ!

Free Survey Company Links List

Free Survey Company Links

O.K. I know I was supposed to talk about Survey Company Links yesterday, so here they are.

Some of these companies do not have any kind of affiliate program, but I'd suggest affiliating with the ones that do since a lot of times, affiliating is the way to make a few extra bucks quickly. Most companies will require that you sign up to complete the surveys before they allow you to become an affiliate. Really though, the choice is yours. An email invitation to take your first survey will be immediately sent to your inbox. At least that has been my experience.

Survey Company Links:

My all time favorite: NFO MySurvey.com

Some other favorites:

Esearch – No Affiliate Program – I haven’t received a lot of invitations, but when I do, they pay cash. I’ve received $4 for each survey I’ve done.

EPoll – No Affiliate Program - (Points are offered as a reward for completed Surveys. Once you accumulate a certain amount of points, you can either exchange the points for cash or for a reward (i.e. popular vendor gift cards).

Lightspeed Panel – Affiliate Program – To Affiliate, SS# is required. Survey invitations offer lots of points so you earn quickly to cash out or get a prize!

Your2Cents – No Affiliate Program – Pays $1-$3/Survey if you qualify. If you don’t qualify, you still get a few cents per Survey so your time is never wasted. (Lots of Invitations)

HarrisPoll Online – No Affiliate Program (Points are offered as a reward for completed Surveys. Once you accumulate a certain amount of points, you can either exchange the points for cash or for a reward (i.e. popular vendor gift cards).

Survey Direct – No Affiliate Program – Pays directly to Paypal. (Pays $1-$3/Survey)

You can also affiliate with these Survey Companies:

The Survey Pro - There is a campaign running now that offers U.S. residents $1.50/member sign up.

The Survey Club - The affiliate program has recently changed here, however, if you sign up as a member, you can get great invitations to your inbox for other popular and lucrative Survey sites along with a FREE SURVEY LIST. Once you reach $20, you are guaranteed a check.

These sites provide Surveys and Awesome “Paid-to-Signup” offers:

Inbox Dollars – At sign up you get a $5 bonus. You must earn $30 to request that a check be mailed to you. It may take up to two months to receive these funds.

and

InstantProfitz.com – At sign up you get a $5.10 bonus. I like this site because it is easy to earn the $30 minimum cash out requirement. You can then request that your cash be sent to your Paypal account. Cash out requests are processed at the end of each month and by the 20^th of the following month, the money is yours. If you don’t like online payment processors and you prefer a check, you can request that a check be mailed to you.

I'm going to Stick to Free Survey Lists for Tonight

Surveys and Free Lists

Well moms, it is quite late over here and I have lists after lists of things to do, surveys included. I know I was going to talk about Blogging, but I have decided to stick to Surveys for tonight. One thing I plan on doing, hopefully tomorrow, is providing that list I gave you a few days back with links instead of as it is right now. I have to make it easy for you to join these Free Survey companies, because I do have your best interests at heart.

It is very important to note again at this point that it is extremely unnecessary to pay for a List of Surveys. Why would you when you can get a Survey List for free?

I remember when I was just starting out, looking for some way to make money online while taking care of my two beautiful sweethearts. I didn't want to leave them and go back into the workforce with my back turned until it was time to go home. It was so difficult. Some days were just grueling! I was at the end of my rope. Everything out there sounded great, but too good to be true! Lots of times I invested in scams and sadly lost money, money I didn't have! I know this has happened to many of you too.

Well, not anymore! We, yes, you and I, are smarter for all the hard learned experiences and that's why I have decided to share what I know with you. I am still learning as I go and not making nearly enough as I'd like to, but I'm doing better than I was six months ago and I love the fact that I can stay home with my babies.

Well ladies, I'm going to sign out with a few parting words. Did you ever hear about buying a home and the realtor says the most important thing to property is location, location, location? Well, once you've signed up for these companies, one of the most important things I've learned is that you can not only make money sharing your opinion, but by doing this: AFFILIATE! AFFILIATE! AFFILIATE!

I'll get into some of that tomorrow. Good night.

Here's the MORE for this Blog and There is More to Come!

Instant Profitz Review

So I heard all of this great stuff about Instant Profitz and decided to sign up. I heard that you could make $100s of dollars in no time at all and that you could do it by just sitting in front of your computer and signing up for free offers. What? I asked myself....It sounds too good to be true!

However, just this week I decided to really focus on trying out their product. So far I've earned around $50 of which around $30 were for trial offers that I had to sign up for and commit to trying out for 2-4 weeks depending on the offer (My intention is to cancel right away anyway, so I thought what the heck, you know, just to get the money).

I did have to put my credit card information in for those, but the amount being paid for signing up with those offers was higher. I said to myself, "You've done this before with Inbox Dollars and boy was that a disaster." However, from my experience with Inbox Dollars, I learned that as long as you cancel before the trial period is over, it's all good.

That last sentence deserves its own paragraph. As long as you cancel before the trial period is over (unless you really want the product/service), then it's all good!

The other part of the $50 I earned were for signing up for total freebies.

So....That being said, there are many more offers that one can sign up for without having to use your credit card! If you like PTCs and PTRs, then this is just right for you. Some offers only require an email address (I got a yahoo email just for this site i.e. yournameinstantproftz@yahoo.com so that I can manage my spam mail). Others ask for a regular home address and phone number. I usually put in my cellphone number since I don't use it too often.

Here's the thing. The less information asked for, the smaller the payout, but you can sign up for free offers (meaning no credit card) that will give you $2.00 plus just for filling out the first page of the sign up. Some offers give you $0.60 or $0.90 just for putting in an email address. Bottom line - Very little effort here and you can make hundreds of dollars just by signing up for free offers, trial offers, etc.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Oh, one other thing. I do understand that they pay out only once a month. You have to request your payout before the last day of the month and then you get the check/paypal payment/other option before the 20th of the next month.

I'll be back tomorrow with another interesting way to earn money using the Internet.

Here's a hint on tomorrow's topic: Blogging

That's all folks.

More About Surveys

More about Free Survey Lists:

If you are really interested in giving your opinion, I can tell you that these are the companies I would join since they have actually paid me:

NFO
Lightspeed
Your2Cents
ESearch
HarrisPoll
Epoll
American Consumer Opinion
Inbox Dollars
Survey Direct

More of these types of companies are listed on the The Survey Pro - Free List of Surveys, but these are the ones that I like the most.

Some of these companies invite you to complete a survey and pay you in points. After collecting a certain number of points (usually 1000), you get to exchange that for a prize, like a gift card or you can exchange your points for cash. For 1000 points, in some cases, you get $10 whereas some companies require you to obtain 3500 points to get $10. These Survey companies have lots of exchange options. Many times the survey is worth 125 points or more, so it's not hard to accumulate points. And the surveys range from 5 minutes to 25 minutes in length, depending on your answers.

Survey Direct - Companies like this pay you directly to PayPal and their surveys pay you like $1-$3, sometimes more.

Most, or I should say all, of these companies require that you fill out a questionnaire so they can put you in a certain demographic before they even start to invite you to participate in a particular survey. That way you're invited to participate in surveys that apply to you. Each survey has a few questions at the beginning that allow them to make sure you qualify for the survey. For example, "How old are you? What State and City do you live in? What is your Race?” etc.

That being said, if you don't fill out the questionnaire, you will still be invited to take surveys, but when you go through the set of "prequalify" questions at the beginning of each survey, you may not qualify, so it would be a good idea to fill out these questionnaires. This may take a little while, but once it's done, it's done and you'll see the invitations come to your email more regularly.

I'm usually invited to participate in at least five surveys a day, sometimes more, sometimes less, but on average, five. Most of these survey companies, by the way, have affiliate programs. You might want to look into them in order to drum up more business that way.
