I only started this blog a week ago. It will take some time to create guides for all the sites I currently use.
So far, I've added guides for CashCrate and Superpoints.
I am in the process of creating guides for:
Beezag
InBoxDollars
iRazoo
Parade
Points2Shop
RewardTV
Swagbucks
Zoombucks
If you have any sites that you've had success with, let me know and I will check them out. If I think they'll be a good addition, I'll create guides for them.
I don't plan on doing guides for Bux sites. I know Bux sites are popular but at the same time many of them turn out to be scams and they don't really need guides since they are simple to use. If you don't know what Bux sites are, they fall under the paid-to-click (PTC) category. Typically, you just click on a link, let it load for 3-30 seconds and you make anywhere from $0.001 to $0.02 per click. If you are interested in learning more about PTC sites and which ones to avoid, there's a good website that investigates them, PTC Investigations. I was actually using a site I thought was a bit shady. Most of the time, they weren't showing real "ads" at all. Did a search, found PTC Investigations and it turns out they rated them a scam, something I was slowly coming to realize. Fortunately, I didn't spend any money on it (since some do have "benefits" if you pay for them) and didn't waste much time using it.

About Superpoints:
- Supepoints has been active since at least September of 2007.

- They do NOT have a forum.
- Only one account per household, strictly enforced.
- To my knowledge, they are currently restricted to the continental United States only.
- Superpoints has a membership tier system with added benefits at each level. Each level is free to achieve with easy requirements, I reached "Platinum" status within a couple weeks. Click the photo below for detailed information regarding the membership levels.
How To Earn Points (Easy Way):
The easiest way to earn points is to click the SuperLucky Button. Depending on what level you are within Superpoints (Basic, Gold or Platinum), you will have a certain about of clicks. The SuperLucky Button is random when it comes to points, most times you will get nothing, sometimes you will get 1 point, other times you may get up to 100 points. I have been using the button for a month as of this writing and I average about 6 points per day. It may be slow, but it does add up quickly.
SuperLucky Mail
is another way to earn. Provided you did not give a fake email, each
day you will get an email link that will be worth between 1 point and 10
points. These are guaranteed points every day. I do not know if the
links expire, but they remain good for at least a few days to my
knowledge.

Gambit Videos
are also offered on Superpoints and are the primary videos offered on
Superpoints. Videos may not be offered every day, but when they are
they are worth 1 point. Watching the videos are a very easy way to earn
points, are highly recommended and can be accessed under the "Watch
Videos" tab.
Paymentwall,
which will also be explained in a future blog, has several offers of
varying degrees of difficult. The way I earn points though is to watch
videos through one of their offers. Click the Free button at the top and
the option to watch videos for points should be on the first page. Each
video you watch is worth 1 point. Videos through Paymentwall are not as
often as Gambit, so don't be surprised if you only find a couple each
month.
Since Superpoints is invite only, you are essentially guaranteed to get referrals if you get your invite codes out there. For each person that uses your invite code and makes it to "Basic" status, you will earn 25 points. If you are "Gold" or "Platinum" status, you will also earn what they make from the SuperLucky Button.
How To Earn Points (Hard Way):
Superpoints, also offers a few options to earn points through offers. Offers through TrialPay require a financial commitment, usually through buying a product. Offers through Matomy, RadiumOne and Paymentwall, have varying degrees of difficulty, feel free to explore what each one has to offer, some can be easy while others will not be and may not even credit at all.
Surveys can be taken but are only offered through the email you signed up with. The survey opportunities are not often but keep an eye out for them. As usual, surveys are more time consuming and you may not "qualify" to finish.
Guide: CashCrate
Site: CashCrate
Payout Given: Money, Gift Card Bonuses
Minimum Payout: $20
Payout Options: Check Only
Referrals?: Yes, Two Levels
The lowdown:
Check-In Button: $0.03 a day, $0.50 monthly bonus = $16.95 /year
AdGenesis Videos: Up to five videos a day, average $0.02 a video = $36.50 /year
Gambit Videos: Approximately 15 points /month, Amazon $10 Gift Card = 250 points
My story:
CashCrate is the first GPT (get paid to) site I joined which is why I've decided to start with CashCrate. I joined in January of 2009. I have not earned the most with this site. In fact, I would call this site a slow burner when it comes to earning if you do the minimum I recommend. At first I was active, trying to do many offers, only to have a fraction of them confirm and get paid. It prompted me to leave the site for awhile only to occasionally check it out. At one point, I didn't visit the site for almost six months. To my surprise, my account was still active and all the money I had earned was still there. In their Terms & Conditions, any account inactive for 90 days or more could be terminated. Fortunately mine was not. A similar site, Treasure Trooper, did not delete my account but everything I had earned was removed.
How To Earn $ (Easy Way):
The "Check In" Button is a fairly recent feature and is a guaranteed easy way to earn a few cents in seconds. Every day, you can click the button to earn 3 cents. If you check in every day in a month, you will get a bonus of 50 cents. If you check it every day of the year, you will earn an extra $16.95 for something that only takes a couple seconds a day. The "Check In" is instantly credited to your account.
CashCrate also has videos you can watch. They are provided by AdGenesis. Although the videos take more time to do, they are a guaranteed payout which is why I do them. Each video ranges from 2 cents to 4 cents per video, with the majority being worth 2 cents. At most per day you can get is five videos, some days you might not get any. In order to get credited for watching the video, two numbers will randomly scroll across the screen during the video. At the end of the video, you will need to enter the two numbers, in any order, to get paid. If you mess up, don't worry, you can watch the video as many times as you want to get it right. Some videos also enter you into sweepstakes for various prizes. The videos are instantly credited to your account.
How To Earn Points (Easy Way): CashCrate has a prize shop for which you can redeem points earned for gift cards. You can get gift cards from Amazon, Best Buy, Macys, Walmart and many more. You earn points by completing offers, for every dollar you make from offers, you earn a point. From my experience, you do NOT earn points for bonus activity (which includes the Check-In Button and watching AdGenesis Videos).
The majority of my points are earned from their "Bonus Points 2" category. This category is actually Gambit, which will be explained further in a future blog. Gambit, similar to CashCrate's offers, has several ways to earn. My primary way to earn points is through Gambit's video tab. The videos are only worth 1 point and may not be offered every day, but most credit almost instantly and are very easy to do.

The way I earn points though is to watch videos through one of their offers. Click the Free button at the top and the option to watch videos for points should be on the first page. Each video you watch is worth 1 point. Videos through Paymentwall are not as often as Gambit, so don't be surprised if you only find a couple each month.
How To Earn $ (Hard Way):
CashCrate is a true GPT site. They list many different offers for you to try and earn. Some are simple, such as subscribing to an email newsletter where you need to confirm your email. Some are not simple and require you to go through several steps. Most free payouts range from $0.25 to $1.00. Some can be worth much higher but also require a financial commintment from you, such as applying for a credit card. Below is a sample screenshot of some offers. Be aware that some offers might not credit and that can be frustrating. It is one of the reasons I rarely do offers, especially since they are more time consuming. They are the fastest way to earn with CashCrate though.
CashCrate also has surveys that you can take. Surveys are more time consuming and can only be done once a day but they have several you can take. I do not partake in surveys because of how long they take, but also the fact that even after you've spent time answering questions you might not "qualify" to finish the survey and be credited.
Another way to earn is to shop through their links and CashCrate pays you a percentage back. The percentage ranges depending on each site, but if you plan on buying from those websites, why not get some cash back. Some sites offered are iTunes, Foot Locker, Microsoft Store, Tiger Direct and Walmart. Be aware that if you buy through CashCrate, it does not credit immediately and can take awhile for it to reflect in your account. I've read that Walmart is notoriously slow to credit.

What is The Penny Earned?
The Penny Earned will show you the way to earn some extra cash one penny (and more) at a time.
The internet is filled with several websites that promise you a way to earn income. The sites I use are NOT get rich quick scams since they are neither get rich quick nor scams. Instead, you will earn a modest amount every day and soon it will add up.
I started keeping track of what I've earned since the beginning of 2011. So far this year, I've earned over $350 total to various places such as Amazon, Best Buy, JCPenney, KFC, Kmart and plenty more. I'll show you proof that it's not a lie and I'll tell you how.
My guides will help you earn the easy way, it might not be fast but every penny adds up very quickly. If you want to earn even faster, most sites provide additional opportunities (beyond what I do) if you're willing to put in the time.
