Are Get Paid to Read E-mails Programs Dead?

by Codrut Turcanu / Blog for Profit on 08-08-2008

What a great way to make some EXTRA money online. The system is called get paid to read e-mails. It’s as simple as it sounds.

There are a ton of companies offering such a service. Most are hype though and don’t send payments to their users or do nasty things. If you get to affiliate yourself with any of these companies you should expect to get paid a few cents each and every time you read an e-mail they send you.

This is the first money-making formula I tried when I started online. In fact, that’s why I started on this Internet venture because I’ve heard you could get paid by reading e-mails. It was a new and interesting concept back then.

Want to know how much I earned after following this system for 11 months?

A measly $9 bucks. Yup. This strategy is worse than AdSense or pay per post blogging.

Look, I’m not trying to bash these companies or the money-making model, but I want to open your eyes and make you consider an alternative to that. Whether it’s AdSense or pay per post blogging.

In order for you to succeed with get paid to read e-mails programs you have to join a ton of companies and make sure they’re trustee sites and pay on time. Plus, you have to own big lists or huge traffic blogs to refer other friends, contacts and leads. The more you refer, the more you make out of their earnings.

This is not something which I’d recommend and in my opinion this money-making model is dead for people who want to earn real money online. If you’re ok with $9/year (that’s the cost of a domain name), go ahead and give it a try.

You could get some experience in terms of marketing online and web promotion, or building a downline.

Using the knowledge acquired and this (new) skill would definitely help you later on to advance in this online world.

Remember - I started from ZERO, with the lowest paying activity and gone through almost everything from ezine advertising, promoting other people stuff as an affiliate (or reseller), and creating my own products.

I couldn’t get here if I did not learn some new skills, gathered new knowledge, implemented it and started from the bottom.

What’s your opinion about get paid to read e-mails programs, did you try this yourself, or would you like to do it now?
