Cash Crate

Application Process: Easy

Pay: Varies by task

Flexibility: 10 out of 10

Cash Crate is a great way for anyone to make a little extra income. You don’t have to have writing skills, data entry skills, or any kind of skills! You just have to be able to fill out a form to sign up, confirm your e-mail, and complete tasks for money.

There are four ways to make money at Cash Crate:

1.       Through Offers

2.       Through Surveys

3.       Through Watching Videos

4.       Through Shopping

If you want proof that you can really make money with Cash Crate, you can head on over to the site and check out the Payment Wall where real users have already posted their checks. And, just to give you an idea, Cash Crate has over 2 million members around the world.

The other nice thing about Cash Crate is that payout occurs when you reach the minimum of $20 on the 20^th of the following month. Some sites make your wait until you reach higher payouts, such as $50 or ever $100. This doesn’t help when you need cash ASAP.

Another way to earn is through the referral program at Cash Crate. You can invite other people you know who want to make some extra cash and you will make 20% of what your referrals make and then 10% of what THEIR referrals make! Sounds pretty good to me! Plus, it is really easy to make money by doing the offers because they are so simple. I’ve read some reviews of people making a full time income with this program.

Anyone can join Cash Crate, however you will need to know English well to complete the offers. Also, you only need to be 13 to join! As long as you put a few hours into doing offers, you can make a great additional income!

The need thing about Cashle is you can get paid for all of these things in one place!

As you can see, there is a ton of different ways to make money on Cashle. Cashle works with Points2Shop which gives you even more ways to earn. You only need to sign up for one in order to be signed up for both.

You don’t need a credit card to sign up for Cashle and it is completely free to sign up. If you do one of the trial offers or one of the offers requires you to buy something, then you will need a credit card. However, there are over six hundred free offers. So if you don’t want to use your credit card, you don’t have to!

The other cool thing about Cashle is that you can redeem points that you earn at Amazon. Don’t let this confuse you. You earn cash or change the cash to points and use the points at places like Amazon. I looked as some of the prizes that you can buy and they include some really neat electronics, such as an Xbox. You also receive your first $0.50 for simply signing up.

To sign up, you have to be 18 years or older. However, for the younger audience, you can sign up at 13 as long as you have a parent’s permission. Another way to make money on Cashle is to earn by referring other people to the site. You can make up to $1 just for having an American sign up! You can then earn a percentage of what that person will make. But no worries, the money won’t come from that persons earnings, but from Cashles. Seems like a pretty good deal! Everyone wins!

Triond

Application Process: Easy

Pay: Revenue

Flexibility: 10 out of 10

Triond is very similar to all of the other revenue sites out there. Your content has to be original, so it cannot be posted anywhere else when you submit it. However, I read some reviews from other people saying that they would first post their ‘original’ content on Triond and then post the same content elsewhere.

“Reposting” content is one of the great debates of freelance writers. I am currently on the fence on the idea because I can see both sides. “Reposting” content is taking an article and posting it on multiple sites. The negative side of this is that when someone types in a key term in Google, your same article may come up four times, not very helpful for someone looking for more information than what you article provides. I remember in high school I would run into this problem when looking for sources for a research paper. On the earning side of this, “reposting” allow you to reach different social communities. On my Hubs, many of the people who view them are from HubPages community. I’m sure this is true with other revenue sites too. Many of the visitors tend to be from that particular community. So, if you have your article posted on four sites, then you get readers and earnings from those four communities. Like I said, I am still on the fence.

Triond seems pretty simple. You will need PayPal and AdSense to earn from this site! I signed up in five minutes and submitted my first article ten minutes later. You simply follow the directions on the submit form for your content. I found the form easy, but I didn’t like it as well as HubPages layout. I submitted two articles two days ago:

1.       Cutting Calories When Eating Out

2.       Behind the iPad App: Dragon Dictation

It took about 24 hours to get them approved and were posted yesterday. They show up on sites other than Triond. This can be handy, because your article goes to a site with relative information. For example, click on my Cutting Calories article. You don’t go to Triond. You go to Note Cook. This is a cooking and food website. Same with the Dragon Dictation article, you go to an electronic website, Quazen.
I’m not too happy with my results. I have only gotten two views, both on the Dragon Dictation article. I know it has only been a day within posting, but my Hub articles all had at least two views after the first hour of posting.

Of course, I haven’t earned any money yet. I plan to post a few more articles here and there to see if there is anything to gain with Triond. If someone had the time to post strong-keyword articles on a popular subject, I’m sure they could earn with Triond.

Signing up is free, so you really don’t have anything to lose to join. If you have some spare articles or can easily type some up, you might as well see what luck you can have. I’ve read some reviews where people have been able to make a little spare cash on the site.

AdSense and PayPal

These are two places you will want to sign up if you want to be a freelance writer. PayPal is the way that most companies and sites will pay through. This is good for you because it is a safe way to exchange money. Even people who only use the money for shopping should use PayPal for purchases and not link their bank accounts directly. It is a scamy-scam world out there and you never know who you can trust online. Use your most used e-mail address when signing up for PayPal so that you will get e-mail notices when someone withdraws or makes a deposit into the account. This way, it is easy to monitor what is going in and out of the account. If you notice wrongful activity, simply inform PayPal and they will take it from there.

Now, on to AdSense. You may be thinking, why would I need Google AdSense to make money online? Well, blogs and article revenue sites will allow you to set up your AdSense account to post ads on these sites and you will earn revenue from it every time someone clicks on the ads. This isn’t a get rich fast scheme. It’s more of a get some extra cash in your pocket slow scheme. It takes time to build up your blog and get enough content on revenue sites before you see any big dent in your financial situation. However, the lovely part about this is that it is a write-and-leave situation. You write an article for a revenue site, and you let it sit. It may only make you a dollar or two a month, but that will be for every month for potentially the rest of your life. At least until the revenue site shuts down, if it ever does. Think of it this way, say you have two hundred articles on the web that makes about a dollar each with AdSense. That is $200. And the next month, you may make that much again without even writing an article. Why? Because you do the work once and reap the earnings over and over and over again. Now, it sounds too good to be true right? Well, everything takes a little work. It takes gaining exposure so that people will even visit your articles so they may see the ads to click on.

I’ve had PayPal for a year and I love it. I use it for every business transaction that I make. Plus, it is easy to use. AdSense, however, is something I just signed up for today. I’ve read reviews on it thoroughly. Some people hate it, some people love it. I also joined HubPages today so I can start writing and see if I earn anything on revenue share articles. I will make sure to update soon on my earnings (or lack of!)

Adventure on my money-making followers!
