The site that I will be reviewing today is a good one. It's called

I've been dormant on the review front for quite some time but I've decided to come back and continue providing my personal experiences while exploring the wonderful and wacky new world of free incentivised websites (IFWs), survey sites, and other money-making websites that can help you generate a reasonable amount of passive income to help supplement your day job.
As I had mentioned in the past, these programs will not make you rich overnight; anyone that claims it can is simply not telling the truth. However, if you are serious about making some extra cash and can spend 10 hours a week or so, you can pull in probably $300 to $500 extra monthly income, which isn't too shabby.
Back in 2007, I was concentrating a great deal on the Free Incentivised Websites (IFW) where companies give away free merchandise, money, or prizes in exchange for you completing the advertiser's offers on their sites. You've mostly likely seen online articles from a group called PROJECT PAYDAY, which is just a cool marketing name to describe this same program. In their defense, PROJECT PAYDAY does a good job in outlining the steps you have to take to make money on the IFW programs. You can read about it in more detail here: http://tpthunder1.blogspot.com/2007/06/nintendo-wii-great-money-making.html
I started doing IFWs in June of 2007 and was real excited when I received my first $25 via paypal after about 2 weeks. However, after a few months of working the program, I started to get impatient with many of the advertiser's sites. They were cumbersome to navigate, and even if you were fairly computer savvy, there were quite a few times where I didn't receive credit for doing offers. To make matters worse, some of the sites chose not to honor manual requests for credit because of rampant fraud. It ended up being a "play at your own risk" type of setup and it just wasn't worth the time.
Don't get me wrong, I still participate in a couple of IFW sites a month just for some extra cash, but for the most part, this has taken a backseat to other money-making initiatives I am pursuing.
Which brings us to THIS SITE IS FOR REAL. The way this works is similar to other survey sites. You register on the site and complete the offers listed on their pages to get credit. Pretty straight forward right? There are 4 factors that makes this site superior to other survey sites:
1. Number of offers - There is a large pool of offers, over 16 pages with 20 to 30 on each page so you're looking at well over 400. It's always nice to have a variety of offers to choose from. In most cases, you're not really doing surveys, you're just answering a few questions to complete the offer, you're not involved in a 50 to 60 question survey like most survey sites.
2. Most offers don't require that you spend any money. That's right. Unlike the IFW where you're usually spending $1 or $2 to sign up for a free trial (and also having to call back someone to cancel your free trial before it expires), most of the offers here are free. You just have to follow the instructions on how to get credit. In addition, you don't have to provide your credit card number. To me, this is a significant plus.
3. Tracking Earnings - The site will display for you on the main page, how much you have been credited in actual dollars so you can track your earnings progress. It will also show how much you have in Potential or "Pending" earnings. This means that although you may have completed the offer, the advertiser still has to check it before issuing you a credit. It really does work though, after a couple of days dabbling in it, I've already earned over $25!
4. Referral program - This is a nice feature. You refer people in to the program and you make a commission off of each of your downlines, and it goes 6 deep. Anyone who's been in network marketing knows the power of building your downline. The site is so easy to use, it should be marginally easier to get people to sign up under you than other survey sites.
The key selling point of this website? Ease of use.
The offers are super easy to do. You don't need to know how to track your cookies, or delete your cookies, or split the atom, what have you. You don't have to worry about calling anyone back to cancel before they charge you a monthly renewal fee on your credit card. Bottom line, at the end of the month, they tally up your earnings and pay it out on the 20th of the following month. That's it, real simple.
Because I suffer from a mild case of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), my challenge has always been maintaining focus. The nice thing is that this site caters more to people who get bored and wander quickly like me. If you get tired of doing offers for that day, just close out of the site and come back the next day or next week, it doesn't matter, you'll pick up on your earnings where you left off.
WHERE THE REAL MONEY IS
The uber key to working this program is building your downline. If you have an effective way of marketing this site out to individuals and you can build a large enough downline, the residual income could become pretty significant. Remember, most people gravitate towards KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) and this site fits the mold!
My suggestions here would be to get your friends and family in on it. Try posting on IFW forum sites or chat boards, yahoo boards, etc. This is a great way of introducing people to the opportunity to make some extra money without a lot of work.
