There are all kinds of websites out there and “offers” to get prizes and cash for free. The type that I have found to be the worst are the ones where you have to get 10 of your friends to sign up who have to get 10 of their friends to sign up and then you might get what they promised you..

You’ll get a lot of spam, pop-ups and spy wear from this type of site. MaCafee has a free download that warns you about site safety. They will tell you if the site has pop-ups, known spy wear, and other threats. It’s a very valuable tool to have when doing anything on the internet. The link below will take you to the program, through Download. Here’s to safe surfing.

The vast majority of “paid survey” sites require you to pay them a fee first and promise huge potential earnings. Ever had to pay a fee before a company would hire you? I doubt it. These are ones I’ve learned to stay away from. I’ve signed up for many of the “free” survey sites. It is possible to actually get paid for doing surveys without having to pay the company first. The surveys that pay are few and far between, most of the surveys they will send you are for entries into their sweepstakes and not for an actual monetary payment. At the beginning of the survey they usually tell you if it’s for money, points or entries into their sweepstakes draws. Don’t waste your time on the sweepstakes ones. Just do the ones with a monetary payment

I have found very few that actually deliver what they promise.

Always, always, always make sure any rewards you’re offered are available in your location. Find out if they will ship to P.O. Boxes or rural routes before you sign up for anything. This goes for all sites that promise you anything for your time and effort.

Always read the sites privacy statement to be sure they will not sell your private information. When filling out the registration form read all statements that are marked with an x or a check mark. You may be signing up for unwanted stuff that will fill your inbox.

Some of the sites that I’ve been very successful at are listed below with what they offer, benefits, pitfalls, positives and negatives.

Netwinner
is a relatively new site. You don’t need to spam a bunch of your friends and get them to sign up to get prizes and cash. Which means you’ll still have friends, which is a good thing. This site offers gift cards for popular merchants and right now has pre-paid credit cards available as well. You play a pick 4 type game and get points for matches. You can play as much as you want to, you’re not limited to the number of times you can play in any given day or time period. If you’re interested in learning more about this site or signing up please use the link below. I would suggest getting more information about any site before joining.

The next site that I really like is
Snapdollars
. You get paid between 3 and 10 cents for every email that they send you and you read. They also have free offers you can sign up for as well as earning money for patronizing various merchants. The best part about the actual website is the free sweepstakes page. You play pick4, pick 5 and pick 6 tickets. You get one ticket per day for each of the draws. Your tickets accumulate if you don’t use them. To improve your odds, let your tickets accumulate for a while and then play them all at once. Good luck.

This next site is quickly becoming my favorite addiction. It’s
Moola. They start you off with a free penny. You then play a game against someone else that has a penny, winner take all. You keep climbing the ladder, doubling your amount every time you win, starting from the bottom again every time you lose. You get to spin the booster wheel for cash when you use their search page. You can cash out any time you want to. The games are a high/low card game, a rock, paper, scissors game and a gold rush game. Each game is addictive and fun in its own way. Here’s to happy doubling!
