Hey there folks,

Remember way back when you could get paid to surf? Everyone thought that was a gimmick, but I subscribed. and made, I'd say, appx $100.00USD out of the program until it went belly-up. Geez...what was that company called again? Someone remind me.

Anyhow, I'm always keen on new and novel ways to make a few bucks, so I came across an ad for getting paid to read emails. I subscribed, using my hotmail address, since I rarely give out my own, main addy for such purposes. Allegedly, this company gives you a $10.00 signing bonus. Well, to cut a long story short, I've been with the program for appx 6 weeks now. Today, when I checked my Pay Pal account, lo-and behold; a deposit of $26.22 USD from this company.

It's not a scam as far as I know, and it works from my experience. Check it out, and sign up. I'd suggest using a secondary address where you're not too concerned about SPAM being sent to. Of course, if you use the link below, I get a little referral for each email you read!

Asif, you never cease to amaze me with the stuff you find and things you're into (and I mean this in a good way). I check my Hotmail about once a month just to keep it active. I find 100's of emails in the "junk mail" folder and dozens more in the "inbox", almost all of which I send to be "blocked". Yet they keep coming. I simply can't imagine having to read all those emails just to earn a few bucks.
What do you have to do besides "read" them? Do you have to respond? Do you have to make a report back to the company who pays you? I'm not clear on what it is they are paying you for. Why is it to their benefit to have you just read them.

 

Dave,

Hehe....perhaps one day over coffee, I'll let you in on a few other ventures I'm working on. No big get-rich schemes, just small projects that are fun and earn me a few bucks.

In regards to this scheme, once you read the email, you have to visit the sponsor's web site, and stay there for at least 20 seconds I believe it is. Once you have visited the site, you get paid. I think the anticipation is that once on the sponsor's site, you will buy something!

Like you, I have a hotmail account just for the sake of having one. I use it to subscribe to newsletters, or as a scapegoat to enter sites that require an email address. I know that such sites sell my address to advertisers, and I have evidence of this in the form of emails from the likes of Sexy Angel, Private Dancer, and Lusty Vixen to prove this

The way this "scheme" works is as follows. Internet advertising is based on how many "valid" hits are received from the ad banners. The referring web sites or in this case spam emails get paid per hit. That's why there is a 20 second at the advertising web site requirement.

This spamming company is getting X fractions of a cent per hit. They recruit as many people as possible to generate traffic and then cut the "employees" part of the ad gains. The company also sells the email lists to other spammers.

So basically, this spam company gets other people to generate bogus advertising referrals. The spammer basically sets up a computer commerce program and let other people make money for him through this technical loophole. This will probably blow up when the ripped off advertising web sites figure a different way to detect valid referrals.

Not illegal, but scuzzy on the part of the spammer, well all spammers IMHO.

 

I'd be on porn sites all day!

 

I remember getting a check from AllAdvantage. That was good.

My friend got $780 (think it was USD) from them. He used some kind of a hack AllAdvantage bar where it actually surfed for him without him being there

 

Have you worked out what your after-tax hourly rate was?

 

Damn bean-counter!

Asif
PS-Seks, yes All Advantage was the "pay to surf" venture that went under by paying out millions of dollars!

 

I got a decent check from al advantage too thanks to some decent "underlings" and the hack that seks mentioned.

This reading, clicking, waiting seems too much like work though!

 

I signed up a few hours ago and I still have recd any email that i have to read and click on?

How many emails do they send you per day????? and is there some specific subject header i have to look for?
