Intro

Hello. I'm Nightshade. You probably don't care. I know how it is. The following is just a short little tutorial which will tell you anything you might need to know about building your online empire. Please view the content below in full before proceeding to any of the sites unless you have a year or two of experience with GPT sites under your belt. Seriously? No. But still, some of this stuff is important. And if you don't know what GPT stands for, it means "get paid to..." Further proof that you need to keep reading. Anyways...


By the end of your visit here, you will have learned:

  • What you need to begin making money
  • How to choose good sites (and avoid scams)
  • Strategies for maximizing earning
  • How to get referrals


Now let's get started!


False Assumptions
There are many misconceptions and suspicions regarding GPT sites, many of them based on negative experiences with one or two sites. Hopefully I'll clear up any falsehoods you may have heard and currently believe to be true.





How to Start
First things first. You're going to need at the bare minimum the following items and services:
  • A good Internet browser Most rewards sites recommend Firefox since it has the best approval rate of any browser. Chrome is by far my favorite since it ranks just under Firefox, yet loads significantly faster and is less blocky and full of random gadgets. Chrome also provides options in the settings menu to clear cookies and history after each session, which means your offer approval rate will not decrease from session to session. Whatever you do, don't use Internet Explorer. It's slow and annoying and saves too much information.
  • A good anti-virus program All sites listed on here are completely legitimate and 99% virus-free (My best estimate considering I've never encountered a virus). There are offers, however, that may either take you to some sketchy-ass site or create a pop-up ad in the background. These types of occurrences are not rare by any means, but they're generally harmless. Advertisers are given background checks before they can submit offers, and those who lead prospective customers to these types of sites most likely won't be accepted in the future by any of the major rewards sites. Generally stay away from any offers that require you to download a program and you should be fine.
  • Time Since there is really no skill involved in making money through a rewards site, your earnings are almost always directly linked to the amount of time you're willing to invest. Some offers require only a registration with your email and zip code, surveys require anywhere from 10-30 minutes.
