A week or so ago I found the site CashCrate through another blog and checked it out as a way to possibly pick up some extra cash. Now, I won’t say that it is easy or free money, but it may as well be close to both of those!
For those of you who do not know, CashCrate is a website that allows you to complete offers and surveys, and get paid to complete them, even better!
What do you do?
Simply enough, you fill out different offers from different companies including other websites that get you to fill out surveys for money. Although it may be a little time consuming to do some of the surveys, you can usually fill one out in just a couple minutes.
How much can you earn?
It really depends on how much time you can give to filling out the surveys and how much you are willing to spend. Yes, you read that right – how much you are willing to spend. Most of the offers are free, but only pay out less than $1.00; yet some you can pay a couple bucks towards and you get a much higher return. Example: I paid $4.95 to cover the shipping cost of an eBay information guide and program. The payout for the offer was $15.00. The pay out for free offers can range anywhere from $10.00 to 20 cents.
With messing with the system for just about an hour, I completed offers totaling $30.85 with 8 offers. I have had $26.25 of that already approved.
What’s the best part of the whole system?
The minimum payout for you to get your money is only $10! That sounds a lot better to me than many other similar sites and programs where the minimum pay out is something like $25.00 or more.
So, if you have the free time, want to make a little extra money for your time, then check out CashCrate and start completing some offers!
Is there a downside? Yes, you may start to get a lot of spam email (so make sure your spam filters work) and you may get some telemarketing phone calls because some sites will ask for your email addresses and phone numbers.
It never ceases to amaze me what you can find on the Internet. Late last year, I entered the world of blogging and found a great way to earn a bit of cash on the side. And I even get to hone my writing skills. I will definitely check this cash crate site out although I don’t think I’m ready to shell out cash for bigger returns just yet.
Hi Julie – I would definitely recommend checking out Cash Crate. Even if you do not want to pay to make more money, some of the free offers/surveys/signups give out a decent pay (between 50 cents to $1.00 seemed normal). But, if you could pay $4 to make $15 wouldn’t you? Give it a shot and see what happens! Best of luck!
