Considerations in Choosing the Right GPT Site to Join and Frequent.

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:00:04 +0000

Below are my suggested criteria to consider when evaluating which GPT sites to join and frequent. Also included are obvious red flags indicative of potential sites with issues that should be avoided. These criteria (below) are listed in the order in which I, myself, prefer to choose my favorite sites – your “order” may differ depending on your own preferences and requirements:

Site Stability, Honesty, & Financial Health / Backing
Sites that look great and have great advertisements with superlative headlines boasting that they are the best site may not necessarily be the best choice. I will do you little good to join a nice looking site, spending time earning to reach a significant internal account points balance only to find that you’ve ultimately been duped into a basically unsupported long-forgotten stagnant site that never pays out not matter what you do – chances are such a site is being milked by an administrator that:
1. has lost interest in the site and rarely bothers to take the necessary steps to pay its members but leaves the site standing in the hopes that one day seen he/she may again suddenly start to care; and/or
2. is disorganized or incompetent resulting in incessant excuses, delays, partial payments, and general headaches from the member’s perspective to such an extent that the site is basically useless as a reliable source of income; and/or
3. has become financially insolvent though he/she may have every intention of eventually paying the site’s members, never seems to have enough money when the time comes; and/or
4. tends to delete accounts, steal from (reduce) the member’s account balance, never (or rarely) approve or credit member’s offer completions, or ban members when they have or are about to reach the minimum cash out requirement amount (playing dirty tricks); and/or
5. is unscrupulous (fraudulent to a criminal extent) by allowing new members to join and present members to continue completing surveys and offers without any intention of ever paying those members for the work they have done while still collecting regular payments from the sponsors and pocketing it.
How can you tell if the site you are evaluating may suffer from stability issues? Look for red flags that may merit further investigation such as:
1. Sites offering only private support options (a BIG tip off!) such as “contact us” forms or a private “support ticket” system while providing no publicly visible support such as a proper open support forum where gripes from present members can be openly read and evaluated (or having an open support forum but suppressing (deleting posts / banning complaining members) all gripes/complaints regularly; and/or
2. Sites with an excessive amount of scam complaints posted elsewhere on the internet. Take the time to Google the site name and take a look at what others are saying about the site. Granted even the most legitimate and stable sites will inevitably have a few gripes out there from people who will never be satisfied (such as former members banned for fraud, etc.) or past issues that have been dealt with and solved but remain public because they reside within Google’s cached results or the original complaint had never been removed from the source web site; and/or
3. Sites listed on GPTBoycott.com’s Watch List or worse, Boycott List. GPTBoycott is an industry standard member complaint based voluntary pseudo-accreditation program offering trusted credentials to stable, paying sites while revoking credentials and publicizing issues related to sites with serious stability problems and those with documented allegedly fraudulent activities perpertrated on members. GPTBoycott publishes a list of programs supporting their efforts and also has a rather informative and popular open discussion forum.

What is a GPT Site?

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:48:01 +0000

A GPT or “Get Paid To” site (sometime called a “free paid survey” or “offer” site) pays its registered members rather substantially to perform specific online tasks such as responding to a simple survey, completing a free trial offer, ordering products & services you may already be seeking, visiting sponsor’s web sites, viewing advertisements, signing up for newsletters, and such.

GPT sites are an excellent source of easy spare-time money. These sites will definitely give you a healthy boost of income proportional to the time and effort you put into them. Many, including myself, have made GPT sites their full-time job replacement allowing you to be your own boss while paying the rent and all of life’s expenses with money to spare (though getting to this stage requires much devotion, time, attention, and the wisdom that comes over time in exploring and getting an expert feel for how these sites operate.)

Many of the trial and purchase offers are for products and services you would normally buy – Only at GPT sites they pay you an incentive to try or buy them through their sponsors. It’s almost like shopping at a steep VIP discount. Their sponsors pay them for the marketing exposure and they pay you for your time and consideration – it’s really that simple.

By giving your opinion and through your feedback on the free paid surveys the GPT site sponsors (many are large well known corporations) gain valuable insight into a potential customer’s thought process that assists them in making improvements and getting a feel for a potential new product’s probable initial reception. GPT sites are valuable resources for sponsors to do informal cost-effective market research at a moments notice without a lot of lead time, preparation, and personnel resources used.

The vast majority of legitimate GPT sites will never ask you for any sort of registration fee. If a site does ask you for money up front (rare, but they are still out there) then I would advise you to leave that site and place it in your “something’s fishy about this site” category. There are, however, many free to join GPT sites that offer optional membership upgrades that offer benefits such as free referral credits, increased referral percentage structure, advertising package discounts, and exclusive offers – I would advise you to get a feel for the site for a while (several weeks) before/if you opt to pay for an optional upgrade.

Now please don’t confuse the GPT sites (sometimes referred to as PTSU “Paid To Sign Up” sites) with your standard extremely low paying PTC (Paid To Click), PTP (Paid To Post), or PTR (Paid To Read ) sites that are generally a big monotonous unhappy waste of time – and usually only offer fractions of a penny per action. These are definitely not the GPT sites I speak of.

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:19:36 +0000

DrGPT is a GPTBoycott supporter!

GPTBoycott.com – Fighting the Get-Paid Scams!. There are many companies on the internet which promise to reward or pay you for various activities. Some require you to read e-mails, click links or to complete online surveys, while others require you to participate in investment programs or to shop via their website. These types of website are known as “get paid” programs, and are the focus of GPTBoycott. Many users have found that by joining and participating in these “get paid” programs it is possible to earn some extra money each month. This reflects the fact that most online “get paid” programs are honest and pay their members as promised. However, there are other sites which look to take advantage of their users by acting dishonestly, improperly or fraudulently. The aim of GPTBoycott is to name the offending ‘get-paid’ companies, and to urge our visitors to stop using them. If you’re tired of companies stealing your time and money, and if you want to know which sites to avoid, take a look around this site, and help us stamp out fraudulent behavior online!

Prioritize while completing offers and surveys (avoid co-registration)

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:08:04 +0000

A lot of the surveys / offers / sites present you with other offers and surveys duplicated on other main incentive / GPT sites. You usually only will have one chance to complete a particular survey/offer with your correct information. I prefer to use that one chance up on a site that will either pay me more, or a site that will pay me faster. Save the “juicy” offers for the really good sites (usually listed at the top here on DrGPT.)

GreedyClicks – Get Paid Instantly! (No Minimum)

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:48:40 +0000

If you are searching for a reliable, instant-paying and professional get paid to site, then please look no further. I’ve been talking to the owner of GreedyClicks for a few days and not only is he a really cool and nice guy to get to know, he runs a great get paid to site that I would love to tell you more about. Many people go with big name sites. Ones that have been around for awhile. Sometimes, this is not the best decision. Since they are so big, they take a larger chunk of your money. Sometimes it is better to go with slightly smaller sites. Many times you will find out they pay more for the exact same offer! This post will be highlighting some of the features his site has as well as why I think you should join GreedyClicks.

Some highlights of GreedyClicks…

No Minimum Cash Out to PayPal

Instant PayPal Payments

No PayPal Fees Take Out

Regular “Mega-Bucks” Contests

Personalized Support & Member Support Forum

Extremely Accurate Automated Crediting / Payment System

Totally International GPT (Get Paid To) Site

These bullet points are just some of the many features that GreedyClicks has. Now before I go on, let me say this is not some newly launched small site. Hundreds of users have already been paid, as you can see from their payment proof and testimonials forum section. I can tell you right now that this site is going to be around for awhile. The owner knows what he is doing, and knows how to properly market GreedyClicks. Through GreedyClicks corporate funding, the site is able to maintain its power and financial stability while other GPT sites are falling and closing left and right due to the economic status. This just reinforces the fact that GreedyClicks isn’t going anywhere. This is a site that is here to stay! Sign up for GreedyClicks and Enjoy the No Minimum Cashout!

How I Choose a GPT Site

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:38:47 +0000

With such a diverse reading audience I wouldn’t presume to declare that I know which sites, or which types of sites are best for everyone. I, myself, do however have a rather grounded set of qualities I like to see in GPT sites I frequent. For your consideration (in order):

Don’t EVER Pay to Get Paid – Yes, you may have seen this said in various ways throughout this site and others. Honest, legitimate GPT sites never require payment for registration nor will they require you to purchase an account upgrade to enjoy the full benefits of the site. If you encounter a site that requires any sort of payment related to your GPT site member account I would suggest that you stop to ponder what makes this site tick.
- The GPT business model allows a wide enough profit margin for both the member and the site to earn a rather substantial income while providing the sponsors with a worthwhile bang for their buck.
- If a GPT site requires payment then it says to me that the inside site content and the incentive opportunities it displays may not be as fully developed as the webmaster’s urge to make a quick buck on people paying to become a member of the site.
- This also goes for sites selling lists of GPT sites C’mon people, just Google. There is plenty of information posted freely all over the web on the subject of legitimate GPTs.
Low (or No) Minimum Cash Out – I truly don’t understand why GPT sites that have a required minimum cash out amount of greater than ten-dollars ($10) still exist – shouldn’t they have been extinct by now? There are plenty of established legitimate GPTs out there that are now sporting minimums of less than two-dollars ($2) – some next generation GPTs now don’t even bother having a minimum cash out amount that must be reached before requesting payment – that’s right no minimum cash out! Not only don’t you have to worry about leaving any of your hard earned money behind in the site’s hands (yes, it’s YOUR money the minute you earned it), but I find it’s simply a much more rewarding experience not having to deal with minimums.
Don’t Wait for Your Money – Instant gratification is where it’s at today (especially in these demanding economic times.) There is a whole new crop of next generation GPTs out there (most from long established trusted networks) today that have raised the bar on the GPT site industry by offering instant (as in NOW!) automatic payments (most also with no minimum cash out!) How long it takes to get paid is now one of the first crucial pieces of information I search for when evaluating a newly discovered GPT – this comes after a few past encounters with sites that will only pay you after days, weeks, or even months of waiting (for no apparent reason.)

…to be continued.

Payment Processing (how will you get your earned money?)

DrGPT — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 07:15:01 +0000

Payment Processing (how will you get your earned money?)

PayPal:

I would highly suggest that you register for a totally free PayPal account (if you don’t already have one) so that you can receive prompt and convenient payment:

PayPal is like an online bank (but not) where you can send, receive money online, and a whole bunch of other options. I consider PayPal (owned by eBay) an extremely trustworthy service. PayPal goes way back to the inception of the internet and has become one of the webs most valuable resources.

When presented with a choice of account type – personal, premier, or business (all of which are free) – I would highly suggest selecting premier or business (personal accounts are limited to only a handful of transactions per year.)

Once you have your free PayPal account open and verified and you have been a PayPal member in good standing for at least 60 days you may also want to request a PayPal Debit Card that can be used as a MasterCard credit/debit card anywhere (even online) or you can trot down to your local ATM and take out your cash immediately.

If you have a business or aspire to own a business then you may want to open up a PayPal Business Account:
