Fred's Thoughts on GPT Sites

Useless?

fred stollery
For those of you who dont know what a Get Paid To (or GPT) site is, here is a brief discription. You know those offers you can fill out in your facebook apps? Yeah, those ones that give you free 'favor points' or 'horse shoes' or whatever they call them in your game. Well, it's pretty much just like that, but instead of fake money, you get real money. Simple, right? Yeah, pretty much. However, I think they are a waste of time. Some offers just require you to click on a link in order to earn money (about $0.00001 a click).

Others will make you much more money, however, they require you to spend time filling out surveys leading to a part where you end up having to pay twice what you're making. If you are lucky, you will run into one as simple as accepting a 7-day trial for a gym, however, what you don't know is that this gym is going out of business and will call you at 3 in the morning reminding you to visit (yes, I know from personal experience). Overall, you make very little for the ammount of time you put in. Even a job at McDonalds will earn you nearly $9 an hour, these GPT sites will hardly make you a cent. Overall, they seem pretty useless to me.
