I earn money from a GPT ("get paid to") site. I earn an average of $250 a month and I spend relatively little time doing it. And it's fun. You won't get rich on a GPT site, but you can add up to a few hundred dollars a month to your income by doing surveys and product trials in your free time.
Unfortunately there are some scams out there so you should always steer clear of any "work-at-home" site that charges you to join or has no forum allowing you to interact with other members. You can tell that my favorite site is legitimate because its free to join and you can get feedback from other members on the site's forum and chatroom.
Companies will pay you for trying out their products. They do this because they're hoping to get some new customers and honest feedback. There are hundreds of offers to choose from with new ones constantly being added. Whenever you earn at least $20, the site will send you a check in the mail the following month.
There's two basic types of offers; surveys & trials:
You can earn money doing surveys (also called "100% free offers). These don't pay as well as the trials but no credit card will be required. Sometimes you can get paid simply for signing up to another site (i.e., MyPoints). Some surveys will ask for your name, address, phone # etc. If you do these I recommend getting some free email account/s and a free voice mail # from privatephone.com just for doing them. The cash surveys work best when you clear cookies in your web browser before doing another one, rotating the email you use, and limiting yourself to 5-7 surveys per day.
Trials tend to pay well ($10 and up) and involve actually trying out a product or online service. Some free trials require a credit card because the company will charge you regular membership fees if you continue with the service past the trial period. Many trials are totally free- a few trials will charge small shipping / processing fees up front but can still be profitable in the long run.
I've personally made over $1600 from one site in a few months. It's not a full-time gig, but a great way to make extra income if you'd like to work from home and don't have time to get another job.
