Make Free Money The Fun Way!

The directory was updated January 29, 2009.

Two new categories have been added:

• Talent & Skills

• Affordable Biz Opps ($100 & Under)

There are 27 new GPT programs listed, bringing the total listing in our directory to 181 money-making programs.

I was browsing through YouTube and found probably one of the best how-to tutorials on using GPT programs. The author of this video is eSurveyExpert. He specifically shows you the entire process of completing a free offer to make easy money on one of the best sites, CashCrate.com . Many people who are new to GPTs find completing offers to be very complicated, but it really isn't. Once you see this tutorial, you will have much success on getting offers done and earning free money!

Are you having a hard time getting referrals for your Get Paid To programs? Do you wonder how it seems that others effortlessly get HUGE referral downlines (that help them earn thousands of dollars a month), while your downline list still says "no referrals listed" after several months of promoting a program? Well, this post will explain the 5 principles one must have to be like the "Top Dogs" of the GPT industry (will have another article soon detailing different methods to promote and get referrals).

• Creativity: You need to make yourself stand out from the rest of the crowd. Even if you are going to be using traditional promotion methods (such as a blog, traffic exchanges, forum marketing, etc.), put your own unique twist to it that will capture peoples' attention. Never be afraid to step outside-of-the-box! Instead of using the banners provided by the program, create your own; Instead of creating the typical blog, focus on a niche in the GPT industry that no one else is doing, and so on.

• Helpfulness: Most that will join you will probably be new to this whole GPT thing and don't have the slightest clue to how it all works. So show them. Duplication is KEY to earning a lot because a big part of the money you will make will come from your referrals activity. The thing that will make a referral become inactive is that they are confused about the process, they end up not earning anything, so therefore they quit. Make sure your referrals know what they are doing, and feel comfortable to know that they can come to you to ask any question when they need help. Create tutorials, tips and tricks, and so on for your referrals. Do things that will motivate them to be active by offering bonuses or free promotion of their referral links to help them build their downline. They will appreciate your help and they will more than likely join any other programs that you recommend.

• Focus: Don't try to spread yourself to thin by promoting a hundred different programs at once. To get the best results, try to just focus on only several programs (2-4) at a time. Take the time to promote your referral links and build up your downline. Once it gets to the point that you are now generating passive income from your referrals activities, then move on to the next set of programs and do the same thing in them. After awhile, you will have multiple streams of income without having to do much work yourself at all!

• Persistence: When you are promoting a program, you need to market it effectively. That means taking the time to promote it on a regular, constant basis (However, DO NOT SPAM). Get your referral link exposed as much as possible (online and offline). Set a daily schedule that will fit into your life, to use for promotion. Try to use different types of promotion methods (traffic exchanges, forums, SEO, blogs, PPC, classifieds, safelists, banners, fliers, article marketing, social networks, business cards, etc.).

• Patience: At first it will seem like all your efforts are not working, because you won't see massive results right away. But don't give up! Trust me, all of your hard work will pay off. The seeds you plant now to build your foundation, will help you to reap great rewards later and for many years to come.

Good luck! Did you find this post helpful?

The average internet user has anywhere from 5 - 15+ profiles on different social networks, popular ones such as Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, Yuwie, YouTube, Tagged, Ning, DailyMotion and so on. The average social network profile receives THOUSANDS of views per month. Most social users are NOT putting their profiles to good use by monetizing them. You and your friends can be getting paid for doing what you already do! And it's really simple to do. Here are four different ways you can make money off of all of your profiles:


Whenever you post bulletins, comments, emails, blog posts, classified ads, forum posts or anything that contains links to another website, video, photo, etc. Every time people click on your links, you get paid. Great to use on sites like YouTube and Twitter.

• Linkbee
• Linkpayer

When you show off photos of yourself, family, favorite things on your profile...get paid for every view that your pics receive. Great for those who like to post a gazillion photos of themselves!

• Shareapic

There are sites that allow you to not only embed your favorite videos or ones you've created yourself, but everytime your profile visitors watch it you get paid. If they click on the ads displayed on the video you also get paid.

• Revver
• Shareaflick

Want people to download an mp3 of your song, a document, photos, or videos? Get paid for everytime your files are downloaded.

• Ziddu

Here's a example of a profile (mines) that is monetized: Click Here

From each of these money-making methods, not only do you earn from your own views/clicks that you get but also from those that you refer to each program on multiple levels. Everytime their stuff is viewed, you get paid a referral bonus percentage.

Now you won't necessarily become super-rich from doing these things (unless you are REALLY popular online), but you can still make some decent money. And all for FREE. So go ahead and monetize all your profiles, get your family & friends in on it, and start making some easy cash today!
