Making Money Online From Paid Surveys Vs. Paid Offers

Most paid online survey/GPT sites provide paid surveys and product offers. The pay-out is anywhere between $1 to $50, or greater, depending on the complexity of the survey or offer. Filling out offers is a little more time consuming than doing surveys for money, but usually pays more.

Most people choose paid surveys though because they’re less complicated, however, you shouldn’t ignore offers, because you can make a lot of money online from them if you fill them out honestly, using your real name and address. One of the best places online to make money quickly from free surveys and offers is CashCrate. They provide a large selection of daily surveys and offers.

Filling out offers does not always require a credit card. The site I just mentioned above provides several offers that are completely free and also pay a little more than their surveys. I don’t personally use my credit card to make money online from offers, however, some of those offers pay as much as $50 each. Product offers that do require a credit card always pay more.

Here are some of the different types of offers that can be completed for money:

100% Free Offers

Not all paid online survey sites provide offers that are totally free, but many do. If you’re looking for a new place to fill out offers, or surveys, CashCrate is a great place to start. They are one of the best and provide a large selection of daily surveys if you don’t want to mess around with offers.

Most 100% offers involve a free trial for a web-based service like an online dating site, Netflix ect. There is no risk and it’s easy to complete and get paid.

With the totally free offers, nothing will be mailed to your home usually and they’re easy to finalize. You don’t want to have to test a product or deal with shipping. To make money, you would simply fill out the offer form accordingly and follow the instructions to complete the transaction. These are the easiest offers to fill out.

Test Products for Money

A company would send product samples to your home. You simply sample the product according to the provided instructions and get paid in return. Sometimes there is no credit card required, but in most cases, there is, since products are being shipped to your home. However, some survey sites claim they will reimburse you for the cost when you send the items back, or after you have completed the offer.

I know there are some legit paid survey sites that do this, but there are also other sites that send the products to your home and then never pay you after you ‘test’ the product. Do your homework before signing up.

Paid Email

Most GPT sites send out paid email messages as a way to directly advertise their products. You get paid when you open the email message that reveals the offer inside. The pay per email click is terrible, usually less than 2 cents, but the offer inside pays much more. The major downside here is that you will receive tons of spam after you fill them out. Even if you’re only clicking the email messages for money, use a separate email address, not your primary address, or you’ll be sorry.

Paid Trial Offers

Most require a credit card. Always read the TOS before you fill these out, otherwise you could really screw yourself over. You must remember to cancel the trial before it runs out, or you card will be charged a fee of at least $30 in most cases. I did an offer one time for a company that sent me some instructional videos.

I cancelled the trial before it expired, but I was told I had to mail back part of the package I received or I would be charged on my credit card. I was lucky I wasn’t charged. Some companies have complex cancellation terms that screw people out of cancelling a free trial without paying a fee. Read the fine print ahead of time and you’ll be fine.

Which one is better, paid online surveys or paid offers?

Both are fine, except surveys are always free and offers sometimes cost a couple bucks to complete, however, you can make more money from those. Either way, both take time to fill out. You can make good money from surveys, but there’s a lot more money to be made from product offers.

Using a combination of paid online surveys and offers is a good way to get the most out of a GPT/survey site. Paid offers come in handy when you run out of surveys to fill out. Most sites provide way more offers than surveys.
