my first CashCrate check

CashCrate - update

i asked hubby to check out my new blog, and let me know if there are anything else i can add. guess what? he still has my CashCrate check, which i requested him to deposit. he gave it back so i can show here. it is my first-ever online earning. it may not be much but i'm proud of it, and proves CashCrate's legitimacy.

some additional information on CashCrate -

• sign up to be a member, and have access to all their offers - FREE. you don't pay them to join. they pay you to complete offers.
• you must be at least 13 years old to be a member, but must have parental consent if under 18, to be able to participate in the CashCrate Program.
• no US residency requirement, BUT i have to point out that most offers and/or surveys from third party advertisers require a US address and telephone number.
• only one membership and one account per person.
• minimum payout is $10, processed monthly within twenty (20) days of the end of the month.

these are just some of the more important information. i suggest that you review the Terms & Conditions after signing up, to know more details on various aspects of the program.

one website i was introduced to where i can earn extra money is CashCrate. in fact, i received my very first check from them on september 21st for $25.30. that's worth an hour and a half of work spread over in 6 days. not bad considering the amount of work it entailed, which is not much. the check has already been deposited so i cannot show an image, but i do have the check stub, which i will scan to show here.

CashCrate is a Get-Paid-To(GPT) website where you are paid to complete offers like:

• surveys,
• product trials, or
• registrations to join programs.

they are, by far, the best GPT website out there, and has the best referral program. you will find that you can earn a decent amount of money everyday by simply taking part in surveys or completing offers.

just to give you an overview of how CashCrate works -

a lot of companies, whether manufacturers or service-oriented companies, need consumers to try out their products and/or services, and will pay cash to do so. they team up with websites like CashCrate, whom they pay to find consumers like us to participate. CashCrate, on the other hand, pass on 75% of that payment to us.

please click on the banner above to bring you to CashCrate's website, and learn more about their program. don't forget to check out their forum and FAQ section, where you will find very helpful tips and information on how to complete offers, payouts, their referral program, and many more. let me just stress out that you can earn a decent amount without having referrals. that's how i started.

some personal tips based on my experience -

• set up a different email address to use in completing offers. that way, your main or personal email will not be flooded with advertisers' emails.
• make sure your "cookies" are enabled. cookies can be enabled by following this.
• when completing offers, DO NOT give false information. you won't get approve if you do, and will only be wasting time. give out only real and accurate information. bottomline, giving out false information is fraud, which if uncheck can lead to huge losses to advertisers thus, shutting down GPT sites. so let's help prevent fraud, and all end up winners.
• make sure you are not completing similar offers on two different sites. once you have completed an offer in one site, you cannot do so again for another site. if you do, the advertiser will most likely reject your completed offer, and again, you'll be wasting time.

good luck and happy CashCrate-ing!

separating business from the personal...

i went to the bank yesterday, and opened a new checking account, which i will use for my online business ventures. i will also use the account to get paypal verified, a key element in doing business online. another key reason is, i want my personal and business financial activities clearly separate for organization and tax purposes.

i got a good offer when i opened the checking account. i was informed that i am qualified for a credit card, which offers four different promotions. i chose the 0% apr for 10 months on new purchases, which is what i really need. i've been waiting for credit card offers, which i get all the time in the mail, but just when you need them, they don't come...

as soon as i get the credit card, i'm ready to go. i don't want to start until i have it, again, to keep things separate. i cannot stress this enough. a lot of people make the mistake of not separating their personal financial activity from their online business activity.

another thing i did to prepare for this online venture is to setup separate email accounts. this is mainly for the purpose of organization. you cannot have your personal email account inundated with business offers from various entities. that would be a huge mistake. so my personal rule of thumb - separate the personal from the business side. set up separate email accounts, bank account, and/or credit card for your online business ventures.
