Paid Online Surveys For Money Tips and CashCrate Referrals

The reality is that you are not going to make a killing, or even a full time income taking online surveys for money. There are seemingly 100’s of paid online surveys sites and it is impossible to tell the good ones from the bad ones without doing some research first. Even when you do find the ones that are legitimate, it is unlikely that you will be able to make more than $20 to $50 per month by doing just the surveys.

Many people overcome this by signing up to many survey sites and maxing out each one every month. They don’t all have exactly the same offers and surveys so it is possible to make $20 on one site, $30 on another survey site, and maybe even $50 on a third one. The more sites you sign up for, the more opportunities you have to make money. Many people are perfectly happy doing surveys and offers every month and they can make a consistent $100 to $200 that way and maybe even more with some hard work.

Making money with paid online surveys is slow and methodical if you have the patience to do it. CashCrate though, gives you the opportunity to make a lot more by referring other people to the site and having them join up. For that they will give you a “finders fee” which can, for the more successful referrers, add up to a lot more than they could ever make by just doing the surveys.

This is the way the world works if you think about it. If you spend your time trying to refer other people to CashCrate, you are really a salesperson on commission. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world who make their living by selling things or trying to convince someone to buy something. Next time you are out and about, look around you and discover all the people in sales.

The person at Nordstrom or any other department store who brings you your shoe selections is in sales. In fact, almost all people on the floor of any store you walk into are there to try to make you happy, show you where things are, and try to get you to buy things. Think of every ad you have ever heard, read, or seen on any media outlet. Media in general is all about advertising and trying to get you to buy something. 

The bank teller you go to is probably constantly trying to “cross sell” you some other product the bank has.  Waiters and waitresses at restaurants will always ask you if you want apetizors first even though the portions of the main dishes are so big that most people can’t finish them. Even the person taking your order at McDonalds is in sales to the degree that they ask you if you want to “supersize” your order. They want you to buy more and spend more money.

By now you should realize that pretty much from the beginning of time, the world has revolved around advertising and getting people to do or buy what you want them to. CashCrate has one of the best paid online surveys sites and probably the best referral program of anyone so how is it a scam to promote it? Everything a person needs to succeed is there on the site either in the tutorials or the forum and any new member can get answers to all their questions.

There are many ways to make money on your computer but they all involve some degree of work. To be successful, you need to learn what your options are and what methods are best for you. Not everyone can make money online because not everyone has the writing ability and the computer knowledge to be successful. If you don’t have any skills though, there is no reason why you can’t learn everything you need to learn but you can’t expect overnight success. People claim CashCrate and other sites are scams out of frustration and their false belief that it should be easy to make money online.

If you are one of the ones who think CashCrate is a scam you should head over to the forum and find the “I Just Got Paid” thread. If CashCrate is a scam, then everyone in that forum is lying. Why would they do that? If there is no money to be made with these paid online surveys, why would everyone be lying about it? 

Much of this blog is about getting anchored backlinks to your survey blogs in order for them to rise up in the search rankings. One thing I haven’t mentioned much is interlinking the pages. Not only is it important to get links from other blogs and websites, but you can help your blog a lot by linking from page to page within your blog.

This is one of the reasons it is nice to have a real blog where you write things on a regular basis and have lots of posts as opposed to one of those one or two page pieces of crap most CashCraters put up. For instance, in this post I talk about lead generation and with that link, I have just told Google what that page is about. Links from within your blog count too and help give those pages authority that you link to.

The bigger your blog gets, the more opportunity you have to link from page to page. This is one thing that I admittadly don’t do well enough because it takes time and I am a bit lazy. For every post you write, you really should go back and link to anything relevant that you talk about in your new post. Likewise, you should go back and see if the post you have just written applies to anything you have already written and link from the old post to the new post.

These internal links help Google crawl your blog and help clearly identify what each page is about. It is hard to get link exchanges with other people and make secondary blogs all the time and many people overlook this simple thing they can do with their own blog to help with getting links.

The value of these internal links is not great but if you are in a niche with very little competition, they can help alot. Anyway, a link is a link and you should be doing anything and everything to get as many as you can if you want to make money with your online surveys for money blogs.

Finally, CashCrate is not one of the online surveys for money scams and I and many others have proven it month after month with the checks we get. CashCrate is a great survey site with the best referral program and that is what this blog helps you learn to take advantage of.

If you have not seen my CashCrate check proof, please take a look as it shows what you can do if you are willing to work hard at getting CashCrate referrals.

If you have a CashCrate blog or any other kind of blog, you probably have some banners displayed on them somewhere. Most newbies set up a blog, write one post, and then plaster the rest of the page with banners. Well guess what, banners don’t get clicks and the clicks they do get, don’t convert.

I know that many banners you see are cool looking and some they might even look good on your blog. How can people not click them, you ask? They look so…so…click-able. The fact is though, that there is something called banner blindness and it is very, very real.

If you are hawking any of the online surveys for money sites on your blog, you are probably tempted to put up the banners. If you ever get a blog with traffic you might even be able to sell the ad space. But data has always shown that banner ads are some of the worst converting methods of getting affiliate sales. People who pay for these banners are usually just giving their money away.

Once you get to the Silver referral level with CashCrate, you will have access to “CashCrate Pro” which has some additional tools to help you to create multiple referral links, monitor conversion rates, and it shows clicks and signups. What you can do is set up a special link for each of your banners and you can prove to yourself how useless they are. You will find that they hardly ever get clicks and almost never a sign up.

So then, if banners don’t work for getting referrals, how do some people get so many? Besides getting laser targeted traffic to their blogs (this means people who want to make money or need money), they get people to sign up for CashCrate through the texlinks in the sentences. People are much more willing to click text links than they are banners which they often totally ignore.

If you don’t believe this then I suggest you check it out on your own blog. Set up your banners so they have one or more of the custom links in CashCrate Pro. Then, set your text links to some of the other custom links and compare which does better. You will find that although your banners look great, they perform very, very poorly.

Another thing is to pay attention to your own habits online. Chances are that you click a lot more text links than you do banners. Most people totally ignore all banners just like they do while they are walking down the street. You know they are there but you also know they are an advertisement so you ignore them.
