A Basic Rundown of What Get Paid to is All About
GPT stand for "Get Paid To"... do one of many different online actions, complete offers, surf the web, read emails, click ads, participate in community information/profit sharing just to name a few opportunities.NOTE: *NEVER* pay to join any get paid to Web site. These Web sites make their money by getting a percentage of the offers you complete. If you run across a GPT or similar site (ex. paid surveys) that requires you to pay any fees to join, just pass it up and move on to the next "free to register" get paid to Web site.
The GPT Breakdown
Offer Sites
By far the most lucrative of all these GPT programs, provides large lists of varying offers that you may complete. You get paid a set fee per each successfully completed offer. The offer types range from "totally free" (fill out the questionnaire or survey, and or view advertisements), to "free trials," (sign up for a free trial of a product or service), and buying products. Payout range starts at around 50 cents and pays highest on trial and product purchase (up to around $45 or more). The typical payout is around 75 cents to $3.00 for 5-10 minutes of work.
Surf/Search The Web
These sites provide a tool (tool bar) you install that basically watches the Web sites you visit and provides related advertisements. The impression of these ads creates revenue for the surfing tool site, and they in turn pass on a portion of this revenue to you for using their tool. While this practice doesn't generate a lot of income, it is basically "passive income." Passive in that once installed all you do is surf/use the Web like you normally would without any additional work, and you collect money for it.
Participate
Are community based blogging/article Web sites that pay you with algorithmic-based popularity. In other words, you post /write/reply/comment at these sites and generate interest that gets read/becomes popular and the Website will share a portion of it's advertisement earnings with you based on your popularity.
