Two Opportunites to Earn Online

Laura Hickey
I recently came upon two websites that have the opportunity to earn extra money online. One is for signing up for offers while another is a possibility for those who love to blog.

Cash Crate is a place where you can sign up for free and paid offers to earn money. Many offers are for filling out surveys or signing up to be a member of a website. After the advertisers inform Cash Crate- money is entered into your account. Surveys earn you around $0.40-$1.00 each on average. Unfortunately with some surveys you may not be the correct candidate. This can become irritating as you do have to take time and answer some questions. If they feel you aren't right for the survey, you don't get paid for that time. Cash Crate also offers a daily survey that changes every 24 hours. If the survey fits you, you earn $0.80. Some sign ups do cost money and require a credit card but the payout is greater. The average is around $1.00-$14.00 with a fee of around $2.00-$5.00 to sign up.

Unfortunately not every offer you sign up for pays quickly. I've had 5 offers still pending for more then 2 weeks now. I contacted regarding this matter and was only told that if the advertisers didn't inform that you signed up- you wouldn't be able to be paid for them. I have a feeling that I won't be seeing any earnings from those offers. In the past the minimum payout was only $5.00 but now has been changed to $10.00. If you have earned the minimum, you will be paid the next month. They have a referral program that earns you 20% of what you're referrals earn and then 10% of what that person's referrals earn. Currently you are paid via a mailed check. They don't allow members to be paid via paypal anymore. I can happily say I was paid by Cash Crate.

It's free to join and allows others from other countries other than America to join. You simply need a user name, password, your address for payment and need to activate your account. This may be a good way to earn some extra money on the side but be careful you aren't flooded with spam from signing up. I say it's worth taking a few moments to check it out- http://www.cashcrate.com/index.php

Blogging for money is another trend growing rapidly. If you're new to blogging, many places having a waiting period of 90 days before you can enter your blog for possible earnings. At Blogvertise you can enter a new blog and start earning. You can easily start a blog at Google's http://www.blogger.com Any blog new or old needs to be submitted for approval. If your blog is approved, you then wait for a task. A task usually consist of writing about a website such as a review. The blog needs to have the website's link in your blog entry at least 3 times. You don't need to write too much, around 2-3 paragraphs. Then you need to wait 30 days before your receive payment via paypal. This is because Blogsvertise wants to ensure that you keep the assigned task on your blog for at least a month. For older blogs the payment is around $4.00 per task. For new blogs the payment is $2.00. After a new blog has been around, the pay increases for the blogger. I have been paid from this company right on the day payment was due. But don't expect to receive tasks every day. I've personally only received a task once every two weeks. You can check out Blogsvertise for yourself- http://www.blogsvertise.com/

    I also have tried cash crate they just do not generate that much money. at best I have made 40 in a pay check. The site that has been working for me is http://freedom.ws/blouirjf I have only been doing for a month and made 900. Its crazy. They have an infinate level of referrals. I get $100 for every 5 people and then you make money off everyone they sign up. It is the best sight I have found.
