Inbox Dollars

Application Process: Easy
Pay: Varies by task
Flexibility: 10 out of 10

Inbox dollars lets you earn in ways similar to Cash Crate and Cashle. Inbox Dollars lets you earn by:
·         Shopping
·         Doing offers
·         Playing games
·         Watching videos
·         Doing tasks
·         Referring friends
·         Using coupons
·         Reading Emails

They have a large data base of coupons that can help you save money! The neat thing about the coupons is that not only will you get the money off from the coupon, but Inbox Dollars will you give you another $0.10 for using them!

The other unique thing about Inbox Dollars is the paid e-mails.  They will send you an e-mail that lets you know it is a paid e-mail. You simply open it and click on the conformation link to confirm you read the e-mail. The e-mails will usually be advertisements, so they don’t take more than a few seconds to look at. While it is only a few cents to look at the e-mails, it is something quick and easy you can do wherever you are, even on your phone! Plus, a few cents adds up quick! They state they will send 2 to 3 e-mails a day. However, some days I have received more and some days less.

The tasks and offers range from $0.50 to a few dollars. Most take only a few minutes to do, depending on what you have to do. In some cases, you simply have to give them your email and you are done. Be warned, you will receive a lot of spam in this case. I created a few e-mails just for this instance. One e-mail is for when I sign up for the surveys and task sites so that I get all my notifications there. The other e-mail is for when I enter it on offers and know I will get spam from it. This system has worked out well for me because I can keep my personal from spam.

When I first signed up for Inbox Dollars I did a few offers in ten minutes and made over $6.00. Add this to the $5.00 they give you for just signing up, and that is $11.00! For basically no work at all! If you can dedicate a few hours a day to this site, you can make a steady alternative income. I do many of the offers from my phone so I can do them while I am in the car or while sitting at work.

The site doesn’t go into much detail about who can join. They do not specify countries or age limits. So my advice would be to just try to join and see if lets you! It is well worth it to sign up!  

Cashle

Application Process: Easy
Pay: Varies by task
Flexibility: 10 out of 10

For those who would like to earn a few extra bucks a month, you should really check out Cashle. There are different sites all over the web that will pay you for doing tasks, clicking on ads, doing offers, doing surveys, playing games, or researching the internet. The need thing about Cashle is you can get paid for all of these things in one place!

As of (May 29, 2011), here are the stats for what was available in ways to make money:
·         All Free Offers: 613 available
·         Marketing Research: 14 available
·         Download Offers: 103 available
·         Service Introduction: 49 available
·         Gambit Videos: Unknown available

·         Trialpay Unknown available

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:


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.
