try the reviews at cashpile.com

If you consider 5 cents alot of money then yes, I've made alot.

[BBReplay]

I've tried SendMoreInfo.Com and they did pay me. The minimum payment amt is $10 & it took me about a year to reach it - I have ~15 people referred there.

I don«t trust this services. They pay you not only for reading, you have to sign up to gerky programs or things you don«t need in order to receive your .001 or .002 cents.

If it was only to "read" not "sign up" and I receive my ".02" or ".03" instead of ".002". Is OK, so give me the web address of that service, then I come here and tell it really works!.

[BBReplay]

I've never had to sign up for anything to get paid by sendmoreinfo - only click a link.
Totalemail however does sometimes make you sign up for stuff to get paid

[megagente]

BBReplay, it took a year? with 15 referred people, Wow!

Well that's something.

[TJGuitar85]

its IMPOSSIBLE to get referrals. And then there's people with like 50. its not fair.

lol

I have 80 referrals with SendMoreInfo but, like BBReplay, have seen bugger-all from the company in terms of revenue (about $25-$35/year).

The bottom fell out of the whole 'get-paid-to-surf', 'get-paid-to-read-email', etc, market before hitting the rest of the online advertising sector, and I think you'll find that it will recover only after a greater market pickup (if at all).

Building a site and marketing to your audience via traditional advertising banners, popunders, affiliate links and the like is far more effective than wasting your time toying around with incentivized programs such as these.

[megagente]

So, it means that paid by e-mail is the last in the list of resources for receiving more money over the net?

[TJGuitar85]

nah I think the paid to surf ones are worse.

I have been using Cashfiesta and Spedia.

Cashfiesta: the mexican sleeps too often. The good thing you see the points.

Spedia: Spedia web games are a complete waste of time. You cannot run the mayority of them in Mac. If you play them on PC, you still get tilts and a message that says "Sorry, you earned 0 points". Even if you are winning the games.

These programs are difficult

[BBReplay]

You are NOT going to get rich off these programs but hey - - $10 here, $10 there - it's something at least

[meow]

$10? This is after more than 1 year. :D

I got into that crap when it was already on the way down. I think I had about $400 with different companies and they all went down or changed the rules so they didn't pay outside US even if you already had money in you account (that was bad!). All except cachsurfers. And they paid so low so it wasn't worth keeping it up until I could collect. The only company I got money from was NetFlip, $40 I think. They were also the only ones I f*cked, by lying about were I live. :o

[NC_TOM]

Heheh.. to this date, these companies owe me:

AllAdvantage: $24
CashFiesta: $2
Spedia: $21
UtopiAD: $0.47 (after about 100 hours)
PaidForSurf: $26
DesktopDollars: $5

I figured it was a lost cause when they all started dying like flies..

[meow]

I've been going through old accounts tonight! It hit me that since I've got ADSL now I could afford to earn some points so I can cash out. I can tell you that DeskTopDollars have stopped to pay for the surf bar and my account reads zero (that trick again). On the other hand I discovered after my last post that I have $32 at paidzone. Maybe I should start to spam my referral link...:p:p
