If you're reading this, chances are you want to make the easiest cash EVER with a $0 investment. Making money online is very easy to do and I will make it even easier on you by providing you with information on each of the sites I use to make the easiest cash I've ever made. Seriously. In just my first month I made over $100+ just doing this for 10-15 minutes EVERY OTHER day!!

I am a graduate student in college that has spent the last year or so making the easiest money I have ever made online. I love sharing my knowledge of online marketing with others so they can learn the power of residual income that continues to grow and grow.

Want to become a member of my MONEY MAKING team?

Step 1: Okay! First step is first. You are going to need some contacts that also want to make money online. There are TONS of them out there and the best way to find them is this online community with nearly 100,000 people. It is a discussion site that pays everyone to participate. While the site itself pays in pennies, the reason I stick around is because there are so many people that want to know how to make money there, and I lead them to greener pastures.

Need evidence this is a good way to get referrals?

It's free to sign up! Add me as your friend and shoot me an e-mail and let me know that you're ready to start making some money! To get an idea of what you can earn click HERE to view my earnings from my first 17 days with MyLot.

Step 2: When I was first starting out with online marketing my most fun and profitable program was Treasure Trooper. It is a site that connects customers with advertisers who are willing to pay people to try their products, and click on their advertisements. By acquiring new customers they get more exposure which helps build their brand. For more information click HERE.

I know that most people like to see proof of payment so here's my check from my VERY FIRST month with the program:

OR, how about what I have earned thus far in October:

THIS COULD BE YOU IN ONLY A MONTH OR TWO! DON'T HESITATE ANY LONGER. SIGN UP NOW!!!

Treasure Trooper:

Minimum Payout: $20.00
Referral Bonuses: Two Tiers - 20%, 5%
Payment: Every month - by check.
Get Paid To: Complete offers, take surveys, play games, and shop.

THIS IS THE GPT I SUGGEST IF YOU'RE JUST STARTING OUT.

Take surveys, sample products, sign-up for free trials, join clubs, and get paid for it all! There are over $2,000 worth of offers alone.

Shop at hundreds of brand name stores and get cash back on your purchases through Treasure Trooper. If it's shopping you might already be doing, why not get paid for it?

As of Sept, 07 Treasure Trooper currently pays its members over $100,000 a month. The top paid members currently make $800+ per month. The extra perks like treasure hunts and the 'Trading Hut' are sure to keep this company popular.

Treasure Trooper probably has the most offers of any of the sites. Like Cash Crate they send you e-mails to let you know if an offer has been approved. When I had a question I logged into their chat room and it was immediately answered. The fact that it revolves around a game doesn't appeal to me, but many people really enjoy it and it does provide benefits to those who participate.

Guide to Free Offers

Note: Most of this information comes from Treasure Trooper's forums which is where I have made ALOT of money with GPT, but this guide can be applied to ANY GPT you choose to sign up for.

A big thanks goes out to TT member Cheesecycle who posted this section in the TT forum, and it will help all of you get started with 100% FREE offers. This is the link I am referencing: FORUM THREAD to FREE OFFER GUIDE

Earning Potential

For those of you with no credit cards, you can still make a lot of money just doing the free offers. Right now there are over 150 free offers, and more are added regularly.
More info: Earning Potential

The Meaning of "With Intent to Participate"

Many people have asked how far into the survey they have to go for offers that say "enter email address with intent to participate." Usually these offers ask for 1) you email address or zip code, 2) your mailing address, 3) To answer some survey questions (mostly yes/no), and 4) for you to complete one or two other offers (most likely CC offers or paying offers).

So how far do you have to go? I have gotten offers approved by just entering my email address. Other people like to go as far as entering their other personal information, just to make sure. It's recommendable to at least answer a couple of the survey yes/no questions. However, you do not have to go as far as step four to get the offer approved.
More info: With Intent to Participate

(Also: I am doing some intensive research on this currently, and in the not so distant future will have some more information about this in a special report for any SERIOUS GPT participants.)

Approval Rates

*This is a specific member's account of these offers... this is to give you some indication of how long offers COULD take, but your results may be different.

Tons of people have been asking (and complaining) about the approval rates for free offers. So I'll give it to you straight: not all offers will approve the first (or second, or third) time you complete them. To "redo" an offer, you simply go to your Pending Offers, click on the link for the offer you have to redo, and fill in your information again. Most free offers will approve in 1-2 days (except for ones such as poetry.com, picture.com, ebay, and iWon) so if it hasn't approved in about a week, it's safe to redo it. I was curious to see what the approval rate actually was for the free offers, so I made a little chart showing how many times I completed an offer before it was approved (I know, I'm a dork)

1. Free iPod- I
2. Free Smart Phone- I
3. Tik Tik Cash- I
4. Free Bowflex- I
5. Free Sony PSP- I
6. Free Olympus- I
7. Free Gift Card- I
8. Alienware Laptop- I
9. Nintendo DS- II
10. Vacuum- II
11. Mac Mini- III
12. Free Blue Tooth- III
13. Free Vacation- III
14. Circuit City- III
15. Texas Holdem- III
16. Free Lawn Mower- IIII
17. GPS- IIII
18. Free Razr- IIII
19. Ford/Chevy- IIII
20. Sephora- IIIII
21. Taylor Made- IIIII
22. Gym Pass- IIIII
23. Bose Sounddock- IIIII

As you can see, not all of the offers approve the first time you do them. Approval rates are different for each person- one person could have an offer approve the first time they did it, while another person could have to complete the same offer five times to get it approved.

There are some steps you can take to increase your approval rate:

1. Alternate between email addresses

If the offer requires an email address, having several different ones to give out greatly increases your chances of having the offer approve. Many people have at least three email addresses they alternate between. (This is actually starting to be frowned upon by SOME GPT sites. Consider using just ONE alternate e-mail).

2. Don't do too many free offers at once

Most people recommend doing about 5 offers a day to maximize your chances of getting approved. Otherwise, you'll find yourself having to redo a lot of offers.

3. Don't clear your cookies while completing an offer "Cookies" are pieces of info that are put on your computer when you visit a site. If you clear these while doing an offer, the site has no way of knowing that you were there. Some people recommend clearing your cookies before and after doing an offer, but I haven't noticed an increased approval rate from doing that.
More info: COOKIES

The bottom line: Be patient. Lots of offers will have to be redone, and persistence is definitely required, but hey... it's a small price to pay for FREE money, isn't it?

How To Get Referrals

2007-10-22T18:00:00.000-07:00

There are COUNTLESS ways to obtain referrals. Check back often as I will continue to update this section of the site.

1.) Tell your family and friends - It sounds too simple, but the truth is if you believe in the service you're offering then there is no way you shouldn't spread it around via word of mouth or e-mail to your family and friends.

2.) Throw up some flyers - put some flyers on car winshields and on dorm room doors, bulletin boards on college campuses, and places of business. If you have something good to offer people, show them the way.

3.) Post in Forums - Use your signature links to your advantage. Join some forums and have a signature linking back to your site.

For people who like to use signatures to get referrals - most of them take the wrong approach. Most join some sort of money making forums and start right away not necessarily spamming, but finding every thread they can to mention their success with so-and-so GPT program. The key people is to build up some credibility on the forums you join AND then start putting your referral link in the appropriate places once you've shown people you are reliable and know what you're talking about.

Also, with money making forums you're going to run into two things:
1.) People are already signed up for the site OR
2.) This one is probably more likely - people are turned off by the idea of GPT sites because they're so convinced that you can't make money for FREE (or that it's merely pocket cash - which it is for some). Let's be honest you can't earn the kind of income you could if you created your own product (i.e. ebook, etc) and used sales pages, herd marketing, etc to sell your info product for $47 dollars IF people are indeed buying said product. (That's a loose example mind you).

Try other forums like poker forums, I know a lot of people that have good luck with gaming forums.

4.) Give them an incentive to join your program - Reward the person that earns you the most commission by giving him $10 dollars to his paypal or something simple like that. Chances are he made you more than that and it will make other people want to beat him/her as your top referral so that they can win that $10... just something small like that can incite competition and get things moving along.

5.) Give Away free reports with links in them back to the site you're promoting.

6.) Start building a list of people that are interested in what you have to offer with a lead sales page and then promote your site to that list - Why wouldn't they join if it's a FREE GPT site?

7.) You need your own product, even if you just give it away to attract attention to your primary online focus and you can use private label rights products, with virtually no risk, to do this. (IF you're interested in this let me know.)

8.) Host a podcast or create your own videos. People are especially attracted to things like this and it's a GREAT way to get referrals. It really isn't that hard to get up.. it's all about attraction marketing.
