What is this site?! And how am I supposed to make money on it?!
For all newcomers to the GPT - Get Paid To - world of work at home business- here is an explanation and tutorial of how YOU can work at home and get paid. However, it's very important to determine the scams from the real money-making opportunities. The best way to determine whether or not something is a scam is one thing and one thing only: do they ask you for money?
If so, then YES they are a SCAM! No legitimate GPT site will request you to pay anything.
One important thing to remember before you start with legitimate gpt sites is that it's very likely many companies will be calling you. And trust me, you won't want to talk to anyone for free.
Step One:
Find a company like Brring! who gives you a number that connects to your phone. You get paid for having friends and companies call.
Step Two:
Create email accounts that you wouldn't mind a ton of junk mail being sent two.
I recommend AT LEAST two or three (more is probably better.) The best providers to go to for email accounts would preferably also be able to host websites as well- more on this in the following steps. Geocities/Yahoo is a good place to start.
Step Three:
You'll need a couple applications to make the survey process easier:
Ccleaner will clear your temp files from the nasty little files that slow down your comp and Roboform makes the process quick, easy, and secure by filling all the registration and check-in sites for you.
Step Four:
Create a secure payment transfer account. Some of the paid survey and gpt sites will require you to set one up since your payments can be automatically and securely deposited directly in your account. I suggest choosing one of the following:
Step Five:
Set up a blog or website where you can display all of your referral links.This is important because referrals greatly boost your earning potential.
If so, then YES they are a SCAM! No legitimate GPT site will request you to pay anything.

I suggest setting up a blog here at blogger or starting a website with Geocities if you already have an email account with Yahoo! this process is quick and easy.
Also, joining communities like groups in CafeMom will connect you with the people you need to get your referrals boosted.
Step Six:
When you begin to make offers- make sure that you turn off your pop up blocker- this helps the advertisers track your progress in the offers. You'll also want to make sure that your security settings aren't so high that they're blocking every cookie. The more cookies that are blocked- the lower the chance that your progress will get tracked- which could prevent your offers from getting approved.
Step Seven:
Make sure you clear your cookie cache with Ccleaner after EVERY survey! I cannot stress how important that is- it's the difference between all of you offers getting approved and not having any of them get approved at all.
Step Eight:
After completing the offer input the email address that you used into the offer box on the gpt site and submit. It's that easy!
So that's what a gpt site is and how to make money on it- Good Luck!

Completing Offers
You can earn money a couple different ways:
1. Competing in the weekly contests on the site and in the Forum.
2. Getting referrals to join the site- you make money every time they complete offers
3. Winning the jackpot (you get entries to the jackpot by completing offers)
4. Completing offers :)
The way you complete offers is:
Go to either the link labeled Offers or click on the link labeled Featured Offers.
(Note: Before you start doing offers make sure that your pop up blockers are turned off and your cookies are enabled and your security settings are set to medium or lower- otherwise your settings will block the cookies from tracking your progress and you won't get credited for the offer- also check out the Tutorial for more information on completing offers.)
Click on the banners that you see displayed and follow the direction of the screen that pops up.
Usually the screen will ask for your email address or other information. Make sure to put valid information or the offer won't receive credit and you won't get paid for doing all that work! Once you've done that the screen will take you through a series of screens that will ask if you want to sign up for other offers- MAKE SURE THAT YOU DENY OR ACCEPT EVERY SINGLE ONE! If you just skip ahead the offer will not go through and you won't receive credit. Once you get to the end of the offer- you will be asked to purchase a number of things on the silver, gold, and platinum pages. Don't purchase anything, but make sure that you click on the number they of sites they request or the offer won't go through.
Once you get to the platinum page and have looked at all the sites they request- usually between 1-8 sites- you are through! Come back to the offer page where you clicked the banner and enter the same email you submitted when you first started the offer and then click submit.
I hope that helps a little! If you have any other questions- or my explanation was too confusing- just let me know :)
