Surveys and click advise

Hi all :)

Wonder if I could get some help from some of the more experienced in increasing income :)

I have a fair amount of free time in the evenings, and I would love to keep my brain busy by doing some surveys or even some clicking, why not earn a couple of extra pounds whilst watching soaps in the evening huh!

I am just wondering, if anybody could advise me how to go about this?

How does the getting paid to click work? Could anybody recommend any websites? Are they generally easy to use? How much do you normally get paid for a click?

Also, interested in the surveys I have read about. I have read Ciao is quite good. I am wanting to join up to an agency which whilst may not pay amazingly, have surveys most days that are a genuine source of payment :) Also I have read a lot of companies let u get to the last question then your not suitable for it, one which offers limited times of this happening would be good :)

Helppppp


Thanks all :)

    That depends on which side of the fence you are on.

    From your side of the fence, X will pay you 1, 2 or even 3 pence if you visit a web site, even if it's only for one second.

    From the other side of the fence, X will tell an online shop that it will send them visitors who are looking to buy the products their site is selling. Therefore some of those visitors will buy the products. They will charge the site owner 50p, or more, per visitor. Then pay you a penny or two to vist the site.

    Look on this site for cashback sites, but be aware that some are good and some are bad, so see what others have written about them before joining.

    As I have said 1 to 3 pence per visit to a web site, but sometimes you get paid nothing as your clicks "don't track". I have another theory about this, but I'll not mention it now.

    They are very easy to use, just log on the the cashback site, go to the relevant section, sometimes called "daily clicks" or "comparison sites". Here you will see a list of comparison sites, click on the first one, you will go to that site. Then click on a listed merchant and you will be taken to that merchants web site. You have now earned a penny or three.

    Repeat with the other comparison sites in the list.

    This is so easy to do you will be able to do it in your sleep. Not only will you be able to do it without having any interest in buying the products you see, you won't even notice what they are!

    You need to search for survey sites, as some are good and some are not.

    Hi NGlady,

    geordie joe is quite right about some clicks not tracking, but as long as u kinda keep track of how many clicks youve done on the sites u use it shouldnt be too much of a problem.

    I recently joined the Paid To Click/Paid To Read Emails 'club' and at first kept getting confused remembering who id clicked *as there is a limit on how many clicks one can make on a site in a day* so it took me some days to work out my technique *which is not to try and juggle between dozens of PTC/PTR sites but rather to find 4 or so you feel offers more clicks and pays a decent-ish fee - rates vary from 1p to 25p, and just stick to em.
    I started with 12 and have finally worked my way down to 5 lol U see it kinda makes more sense to me to focus on a few to get the optimum out of ones membership than spreading oneself too thin..if that makes any sense.

    Its good to also spend some time getting to grips with when some sites will have more paid clicks available. With many I find it helps to log in quickly to search for new clicks throughout the day as and when I have a few minutes free.

    With regards to if one can make money from it? I dont think itl replace a day job but the pennies sure do add up fast once uve got ur technique going ;) For example I only seriously started clicking 4 days ago and I already have £7.50 in one and £1.60 in another :T
    I was well suprised when I saw this but as many of the sites offer no spend cashbacks e.g. ordering an 02, Orange etc Pay as you go sim, it all adds to the numbers. :)

    And I would also suggest you look out for the sections that pays one to join survey panels on the cashback sites ----> which means more £ :D unfortunately I cant benefit in that area as Ive been doing surveys for a while now and have signed up to most of the panels :rotfl:

    Anyways hope that helped & Good luck with the clicking fellow clicker! :beer:
