How do I start?

This is one of the more important questions and one that seems to go unanswered when first starting out. So, pay attention while I go over a few tips.

First and most important is you are going to want to get a brand new e-mail address. Because quite frankly it would be annoying having to sift through the e-mails from your friends and family from the ones that will make you money!! So, go to gmail, hotmail, yahoomail, or any other mail you can think of and set up a free account today. What are you waiting for?

Next, pick a Get Paid To(GPT) website. I would go with one that you have seen they have paid people. I would actually stay away from the PTC(Paid to click). The pay out may be low, on some it is a dollar or 2, but you only make $0.0005 per email. It took me a month to make a dollar on one site and the pay out was $10. Not worth it in my books!!

Now that you have a new e-mail address and you have choosen a GPT website. Go ahead sign up. Don't worry about putting your address and phone number, I have not had any calls(that I am aware of, anyway!!). One thing I like to do when signing up for a new website is I have my e-mail open in another window so I can know when I get my confirmation e-mail link. Once you recieve that click on it and hit the confirm button. You are ready to go.

If you are eerie, as well you should be, do only the offers that require one field submits. Meaning all you have to do is click on a link, put in your e-mail or zip code, hit enter, wait a few minutes(the longer you wait the better chance it will go through), then input the e-mail or zip code you used and hit submit.

If you have a newer computer, then the following will not apply. Most of the GPT websites will tell you to clear out your cookies between offers. Some computers do this automatically. Figure out which is yours after you complete your first offer. If you are lucky you will not have to do this.

So, you are off and running, but you feel like you are not making the money that you really want to be making. Well, I hate to be the one to break this to you but the real money in these websites is referrals. Here is the bad news, no one is going to sign up under you if you have not recieved payment. There might be a few people, but not many. So, for the next few months just work a couple hours a day and you will make it to the payout for most of the websites. Which is about 10-20 dollars. Request payment. Get paid and then open up a blog just like this one. I don't mind!! Really I don't!!

That is really all there is to it. I hope I covered everything. Feel free to leave a question or two on your journey. And look for more banners for websites that actually pay. They will be coming soon throughout this year!!
