GPT Website Experiment Results Are In!!

So which GPT (Get Paid To) website is the best?  Well I have the results and I have a winner, I will say that the winner was unexpected.  Before I go over the results, let me review how the contest worked:

So as for the results, I am showing them in an excel spreadsheet below:

Yea that's right, Moola ended up being the winner here.  Why is this so surprising?  Because I didn't even realize Moola had an option to do this!  However, I didn't decide the winner based on how mjuch money was paid out.  There are some other benefits besides just getting money.  For example, TreasureTrooper has an awesome refferral program where they will give you free referrals if you collect 8 "pearls."  Coincidentally, one of my free referrals earned me a dime while I was conducting the experiment and so I added that referral money to the experiment spread sheet for TreasureTrooper.  

I'm going to give a quick break down of each site and then present my findings on a spreadsheet that rates each based on referrals, contests, etc.

TreasureTrooper - The best looking of all the sites.  Not only do they have cash offers for you to fill out, you can also take 3 surveys a day.  This site also has some side games to help you earn more cash including a mini game that you play after each offer that has you pick 1 of 3 treasure chests.  If the treasure chest you picked has a pearl in it, you add it to your collection.  Once you have collected 8 pearls, you can turn them in for 2 free refferals. You get 20% of your referrals and 5% of your second level referrals.  Minimum cash out is $20 and it and you get it around the middle of the next month.

CashCrate - A very simple site that has a clean look and is pretty easy to use.  Not too much else going on besides the cash offers and 1 contest every month.  They do offer points for some offers that you can redeem for gift cards to online stores.  Referral commission changes when you get more refferals, you start out at 20% for level 1 and 10% for level 2 but it can grow to be 30% for level 1 and 20% for level 2 referrals.  While they are a legitmate website, I have heard that payouts can take a long time and you may need to contact them via email if you haven't recieved your payment yet.  Minimum cash out is $20.

Cash Lagoon - Another very simple site that offers daily contests and not too much else besides the cash offers.  There is no point system and just raw deals.  I found the payouts seem to be better and I feel the chances of getting an offer approved is better.  The main advantage is you can cash out whenever you want (even if it is only $.25) and it takes less than 24 hours!  You get 20% of your referrals cash and 8% of your second level refferals.

DealBarbiePays - I have had the least luck with this website but they do give you $5 for just signing up.  The only reason why I got a penny was because I did a website where you view it for 30 seconds and they give you a cent.  Even though I have not gotten too much luck, I hear some people do great on this site so I must be doing something wrong.  Referrals give you the same deal as Cash Lagoon (20%) and minimum cash out is $20.  You get your cash on the 25th of the next month.

Moola - This is my favorite site of the bunch.  The reason is because cash offers is not their main specialty, they do some online gambling!  Go to my previous post to learn more about it.  The offers on this website also seem to be worth more than any of the other websites.  You only get 4% for you first level referral, 3% for your second level, 2% for your third level, and 1% for your fourth level referral.  Minimum cash out is $10 but I heard it can take up to 6 months to recieve it.

So with all of that being said, here is how I broke down my rating system:

  • Each is ranked from 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest.
  • I added up all the scores, and the higher the total score the better the ranking

So here are my results:

So the winner was Moola!  And DealBarbiePays turned out to be the worst one for me, however many people seem to be doing quite well with it so I would not call DealBarbiePays a scam.  I would also like to say that I am not trying to discourage you from using all of them, because some may work out better for you.  Here are the my referral links to all of them if you would like to try them out and be reffered by me.

So that is how you can make quick money on the internet, using those sites above.  I am going to add a page soon with all my tips on how to get the sites to approve your cash offer.

Thanks for you support!

GPT Site Experiment Almost Done!

First, I would like to thank everyone that regularly visits this site and gives me support, I really appreciate it.  I hope this site is helping you get that side money you want and I hope every college kid uses these ideas to get any penny they can.

As for the experiment, I have only 2 sites left.  I have been doing each site on different days to make sure that no site has any advantage.  I will say that the results are very surprising, and I didn't expect it at all.  

By the way, the end of the month is coming up and that means my monthly report is about to be posted.  This month is not up to my expecatations at all but it is my fault.  I'll post the results soon!

Thanks for the support,

Quick Update

Hey everyone,

Just so you know what's going on, I have been trying to find a job and taking some summer classes for college. I have been trying to do what I can with eHow, Bukisa, etc. I have started the little experiment on the "Get Paid To" websites (AKA TreasureTrooper, CashCrate, etc.) and I am starting to knock some of those out. I will try to the post the results as soon as I can. Hope your eHow articles are making you good money!

Monthly Earnings Report: April 2009


So here it is, my first month's earnings report. Over double what I was hoping for, sort of (see second paragraph for analysis on why my goal was technically not met). So my most profitable source: TreasureTrooper.com! Of course that is from the help of some of my referrals, specifically my girlfriend. But I do have 3 referrals and should be getting two more, thanks to my pearl collection rising. What makes this interesting is, I have only been on TreasureTrooper for about 4 days and same with CashCrate.com which was my second most profitable source of income.

However, this site is dedicated to passive income, right? So my passive income comes from my referrals, eHow, Bukisa and AdSense. These total up to be $12.28, and therefore I am technically $2.72 short of my goal.

The good news: my eHow articles are starting to earn much more now, I am earning at least $.50 per day for 36 articles.
The bad news: I have slipped on my article goal by a lot (I should be at 69 articles today) so I have a new goal - I will not tell you my goal until the last paragraph.

I am stopping CentSports.com and FreeSportsBets.com for 2 main reasons:
  1. Not truly passive income
  2. I would much rather try to win $10,000,000 on Moola
I am shutting out Survey Savvy and SurveySpot from the income experiment for several reasons:
  1. They aren't fun
  2. They haven't paid me anything (I'm not saying it's a sam... but maybe)
  3. It isn't truly passive income
  4. I would much rather try to win $10,000,000 on Moola
Speaking of Moola, I am addicted. This is site is so fun, and the money just gives you that gambling buzz you get from casinos. Use my invitations (they are starting to run out!), and get yourself betting on some games. I heard a lot of people get on there and cashing out at $10 and doing that several times, some people claim to have several $100 days.

Time to state my goals for the month of May:
Total Goal Amount: $75.00
Passive Income Amount: $30.00
eHow Articles: 100
Bukisa Articles: 50

I also plan on doing a little TreasureTrooper / CashCrate / DealBarbiePays / CashLagoon test. The test will simply be: which site will make me the most money in 30 minutes. I will try to do this test sometime this month and report which one will make more cash.

Thanks for reading!
