			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1275" title="GJobs Data Service header image." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gjobs-data-service-header-300x78.png" alt="GJobs Data Service header image." hspace="5" width="300" height="78" />I&#8217;ve been seeing the promotion of <a title="Join GJobs Data Service for free and give it a try if you wish." href="http://www.gjobsdataservice.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=4235" target="_blank">GJobs Data Service</a> being promoted recently on the web and decided to take a quick look at it because the Safelist ads claimed that they offer a <strong>$5.00 sign up bonus</strong> for joining. If you look at their main home page, you won&#8217;t see the sign up bonus advertised. This is unusual to me. Why even offer a sign up bonus if you&#8217;re not going to promote it? If you click on the &#8220;<em>Join Now</em>&#8221; button, you&#8217;ll see the $5.00 sign up bonus promotion.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m writing this post to warn you that GJobs Data Service doesn&#8217;t look too stable in my opinion. How can they claim to offer 5 cents per click to their affiliates? Boy are they in for some trouble.  I tried doing that with my affiliate program and affiliates put their referral links in all kinds of scripted rotators and such. I had one idiot earn over $80.00 in one day because he simply put his affiliate link in a frame that would open up every time another site would open up. My point is, GJobs Data Service will be out of business in no time if this is the case. Or they will be deleting a whole lot of abusive affiliates.</p>
<p>Another thing that really bothers me about GJobs Data Service is that their website looks like a kid designed it yet they claim to have been in business since 1999. You&#8217;re telling me 10 years have passed and you don&#8217;t even know how to put padding between your text and css backgrounds?</p>
<p>Take a good look at their earner&#8217;s recent checks as well in the side bar. $2,000 and $3,000 checks and no real proof. I am an affiliate and since I put my referral link on my sign up bonus list I&#8217;ve gotten two clicks. This means I&#8217;ve earned 10 cents so far. So it seems all is well so far. By the way, you <strong>need to earn at least $50.00 in order to get paid</strong>.</p>
<p>Like I say with any <a href="http://www.thedigeratilife.com/blog/index.php/2008/11/06/discover-credit-card-rewards-sign-up-bonuses-and-holiday-promotions/" target="_blank">sign up bonus site</a>. Take advantage of the free stuff, don&#8217;t ever upgrade or buy referrals and focus too much time in any one site because it could disappear at anytime. I believe GJobs Data Service to be very fishy and it could very well possibly be a scam because I&#8217;ve seen something similar to this that ended up disappearing. Nonetheless, it is free to join and try, so decide for yourself on whether or not you want to be serious with the Data Service Company.</p>
<p>Take a look at some more <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/bonus/affiliate-program-sign-up-bonus.html">affiliate program sign up bonuses</a> and let me know what you think of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1059" title="Multi-level marketing (mlm) scam pyramid" src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mlm-scam-pyramid.jpg" alt="Multi-level marketing (mlm) scam pyramid" hspace="5" width="268" height="302" />Now I know what you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;Is this guy crazy? Of course they&#8217;re all scams!&#8221; Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I&#8217;ve had my fair share of scams since I&#8217;ve been in the <a title="Take a look at Global NPN, an example of an online money making business." href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/07/why-the-global-npn-should-be-in-your-portfolio-of-businesses/">online money making business</a>. Scams obviously do exists, but most of the MLM business opportunities you see popping up all over the place are legit. I would say about 70% to 80% of them are not out to rip you off, but are actually <a href="http://www.affiliatewatcher.com/7-quick-ways-for-college-students-to-make-money-online/" target="_blank">legitimate ways to make money online</a>.</p>
<p>Sometimes what makes a multi-level marketing business opportunity a scam is the simple fact that you joined up with super high expectations only to find out a month later you haven&#8217;t signed anybody up.</p>
<p>What does this mean?</p>
<p>Well, it doesn&#8217;t mean that particular mlm business opportunity is a scam, it just probably means that particular mlm businesses opportunity just wasn&#8217;t the right one for you.</p>
<p>The business opportunities that are legitimately priced (such as low $10.00 to $40.00 monthly membership fees) are most likely not scams.</p>
<p>But if get some guy calling you up and asking for $500 to $1,000 and promising you the world, then we most likely have a problem. So, let&#8217;s quickly go over a few signs of a scam:</p>
<ul>
<li>Very high fee.</li>
<li>Product doesn&#8217;t match the monthly fee.</li>
<li>You got a sales person calling you very aggressively to sign up.</li>
<li>Claim you will get a bunch of <a title="Get free traffic for joining sites." href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/traffic/">free traffic or sign ups just for joining</a>.</li>
<li>Make it sound like you don&#8217;t have to do anything but sign up to succeed in the business.</li>
<li>Promise you huge earnings without any work.</li>
<li>Ask you for money upfront and promise you free money in the distant future.</li>
<li>Haven&#8217;t been in business very long.</li>
<li>Can&#8217;t find very much information on them when you search the web.</li>
</ul>
<p>OK, so now let&#8217;s go over some signs that the mlm business opportunity is most likely a legit one:</p>
<ul>
<li>They have been in business for a few years.</li>
<li>Low fee to join.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t promise you extraordinary earnings for doing no work.</li>
<li>Are realistic and show you how many sign ups you&#8217;ll really need to reach payout.</li>
<li>Minimum payout is $100.00 or less.</li>
<li>Product looks legit and makes sense.</li>
<li>You can find information about the mlm on the worldwide web.</li>
</ul>
<p>Always do your <strong>due diligence</strong> when joining any kind of mlm business opportunity that cost money. I have tried many and failed at many and only succeeded with a few. The few I succeeded with were because they were the right ones for me. The other ones I failed at weren&#8217;t scams. I just didn&#8217;t have what it took to promote their particular product or service.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m ultimately for <a title="Signupandmakemoney has tons of free ways to make money online." href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com">free ways to make money online</a> verses mlm opportunities. I&#8217;m not one of those people like to hop from program to program. It just doesn&#8217;t seem beneficial to me. I currently have 3 mlm business opportunities that I have been building now for the last three years. They are all growing at a good rate.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad I ventured out and tried a few things before I found 3 great programs that worked for me. Now if I ever promote anything other than these 3 programs, they are always <a title="Some free affiliate programs to promote online." href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/affiliate-tips/business-tips/increase-earnings.html">free affiliate programs that don&#8217;t cost a single dime</a> to promote.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the moral of this blog post? Well, it&#8217;s simply to let you know if you fail at a multi-level marketing business, that mlm business probably isn&#8217;t a scam. It just means it wasn&#8217;t the right business opportunity for you in the first place. So you need to keep searching until you find the right one for y0u.</p>
<p>There is a famous saying I want to share with you.</p>
<blockquote><p>The average millionaire tries out 7-10 business ventures before they find one that works.</p></blockquote>
<p>This simply means, don&#8217;t give up!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1045" title="Easy Money PTC" src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/easy-money-ptc.jpg" alt="Easy Money PTC" hspace="5" width="346" height="178" />I ran into <a title="Join Easy Money PTC." href="http://www.easymoneyptc.com/index.php?ref=signupandmakemoney" target="_blank">Easy Money PTC</a> the other day and noticed it offers a <strong>$1.00 sign up bonus</strong> for joining free. So I went ahead and added it to the <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com">Signupandmakemoney sign up bonus list</a> and I am now writing about its pros and cons in this blog post.</p>
<p>It looks like the most you can earn per click is <strong>3 cents per 25 second timer</strong>. This seems odd to me and just a little bit high in price. This might be another one of those scam sites that are betting on people to upgrade their membership or buy referrals in order to come ahead of the game.</p>
<p>Take a quick look at some of their advertising cost. Pretty low and affordable to me, so why on earth are they paying members up to 3 cents per click, but there is no way their advertisers and paying enough in ad revenue to fit the bill. Looks fishy to me.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1046" title="Easy Money PTC advertising chart." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/easy-money-ptc-advertising.png" alt="Easy Money PTC advertising chart." width="622" height="379" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not 100% sure if Easy Money PTC is a scam or not. All I&#8217;m saying is that the numbers just simply don&#8217;t add up.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1047" title="Easy Money PTC site stats." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/easy-money-ptc-site-stats.png" alt="Easy Money PTC site stats." hspace="5" width="181" height="177" />Another thing that bothers me is their site stats (take a look to your left). Over 39,000 hits in one day, but only 10 members online and a little over 4,000 members. What is even scarier is that they are claiming to have paid out over $65,000 878 times.</p>
<p>Hmmm&#8230; Let&#8217;s do the math on that. $65,000 divided by 878 payments made = $74.00 per payment.E If you take a close look at <a href="http://www.easymoneyptc.com/index.php?view=proof&amp;" target="_blank">Easy Money PTC&#8217;s payment proof page</a>, you&#8217;ll see that most payments average around $20.00 to $30.00 a pop and  a lot of the payments made are to the same individuals.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s my point here? I don&#8217;t know if Easy Money PTC is a scam or not. What I am recommending is that you at least check them out and see for yourself whether or not they are a scam. Never invest any money into a site like this, but take advantage of the potential free traffic and earning capabilities.</p>
<p>Another thing that disturbs me is that I haven&#8217;t gotten my $1.00 sign up bonus. I have contacted Easy Money PTC in hopes that this is some sort of mistake. How can you promote a $1.00 sign up bonus and not give it to your members unless it is seriously a mistake?</p>
<p>Take a quick look at my earning stats. Am I blind, where is the sign up bonus?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1048" title="No sign up bonus in Easy Money PTC back office." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/easy-money-ptc-no-sign-up-bonus.png" alt="No sign up bonus in Easy Money PTC back office." width="398" height="245" /></p>
<p>A lousy 3 cents is all I&#8217;ve earned so far for clicking on one ad. Seriously where is the sign up bonus?</p>
<p>Alright, I think I&#8217;ve said enough bad things about Easy Money PTC for now. So let me mention some of the good things about them. They do have lots of earning options. You can <a href="http://pakearnmoney.co.cc/earn-money/how-you-make-money-with-ptc-sites-simple-and-easy-way-of-online-earning/" target="_blank">get paid to click</a>, paid to read, paid to sign up, etc&#8230; They also have a click exchange area where you can build up some free traffic back to your ads.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t cash out until you earn at least $20.00. Good luck getting there. And it also looks like the only way to earn off of referring other members is by being an upgraded member yourself. What kind of program is this anyway.</p>
<p>If Easy Money PTC isn&#8217;t enough for you, take a look at some more <a title="List of free GPT sign up bonus sites." href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/bonus/get-paid-to-sign-up-bonus-sites.html">get paid to sign up bonus sites that are free to join</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-988" title="AdFlasher - Earnings and Advertising in action." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ad-flasher.png" alt="AdFlasher - Earnings and Advertising in action." hspace="5" width="288" height="146" /><a href="http://www.adflasher.net/?wilson" target="_blank" title="Join Ad Flasher for free.">Ad Flasher</a> looks like it has potential, but after taking a close look at what Ad Flasher has to offer, some red flags popped up. I am going to share those red flags with you in a little bit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.adflasher.net/?wilson" target="_blank">Ad Flasher</a> offers its free affiliates a <strong>50 cent sign up bonus</strong> for joining. You&#8217;ll automatically use this advertising in their ad viewer. I apparently already used mine up and didn&#8217;t get one single hit from it. There is one red flag for you. I do like that the sign up bonus comes to  automatic use and you don&#8217;t have to wait for it.</p>
<p>I would like to thank <strong>David</strong>, an <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/site/affiliates/signup.php#SignupForm" title="Join the Signupandmakemoney affiliate program and get a $2.00 sign up bonus.">affiliate of Signupandmakemoney.com</a>, for referring me to this sign up bonus website. David&#8217;s referral link is used on this blog post and on the sign up bonus list. Quick reminder, anyone can offer a sign up bonus website to this site, and if I think it will add value to the site, your referral link will be used just for sharing the site with me.</p>
<p>Alright, back to Ad Flasher. One of the first things I don&#8217;t like is that Ad Flasher sells referrals. Not only do they sell referrals, they also charge a hefty <strong>$5.00 fee per referral</strong> they sell. This is pretty high for a referral that might never log into their back office to earn you that money back. That just screams scam in my opinion.</p>
<p>I was able to take a look at how much they charge their advertisers. They charge <strong>$4.50 per 1,000</strong> ad impressions. One thousand ad impressions to me is nothing. I think that is really expensive. I would never pay that much money for a measly 1,000 impressions that will probably be gone in an hour.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-989" title="Ad Flasher advertising prices." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ad-flasher-advertising.png" alt="Ad Flasher advertising prices." width="559" height="255" /></p>
<p>You are only guaranteed <strong>46 click thrus</strong>. Now if you do the math on it. Ad Flasher claims to pay their members <strong>10 cents</strong> per completed ad view. <strong>10 cents x 46 clicks = $4.60</strong>. This means Ad Flasher loses money off their ads because they go 10 cents over. This doesn&#8217;t include what they pay 2nd level affiliates.</p>
<p>I even attempted to click on some of their ads to <a href="http://sherifabdou.com/2008/09/how-to-make-money-using-wordpress-and-google-adsense-proper-seo/" target="_blank">earn some money</a>. None of the ads had timers and my earnings didn&#8217;t increase after clicking on the ads.</p>
<p>So there you have it. Ad Flasher may still be a good site and I may be totally out of my mind and wrong on these theories. Nonetheless, Ad Flasher is free to join and try. You may like what they have to offer.</p>
<p>Take a look at some more <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/bonus/free-advertising-sign-up-bonus-sites.html">free advertising bonuses</a> for signing up and get some more free traffic to your sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-871" title="1 Cent Emails - Paid to read email site." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1-cent-emails.jpg" alt="1 Cent Emails - Paid to read email site." hspace="5" width="313" height="79" />Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I wouldn&#8217;t write an article about <a href="http://www.1centemails.com/pages/index.php?refid=signupmakemoney" target="_blank">1 Cent Emails</a> if I didn&#8217;t think it had some good free money making potential and not a complete scam. For the most part, 1 Cent Emails looks pretty legit for a paid to read e-mail site with a <strong>$5.00 sign up bonus</strong>. But if you learn anything from me at all, remember this, always check the advertiser section of a website to make sure every looks like it adds up properly.</p>
<p>What do I mean by this? Well, if an advertising website&#8217;s advertising prices look a little funky, then it&#8217;s questionable how long the advertising website will be in business. Take a look at 1 Cent Email&#8217;s advertising prices as of July 15th, 2009.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-872" title="1 Cent Email's advertising section." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1-cent-emails-advertising-section.png" alt="1 Cent Email's advertising section." width="544" height="270" />Do you see how the 1 cent paid email to all members for $15.00 is just one example of risk by the owners of 1 Cent Emails? <a href="http://www.1centemails.com/pages/index.php?refid=signupmakemoney" target="_blank">1 Cent Emails</a> has over <strong>20,000 members</strong>. They are betting, and this is a pretty good bet, that over 80% of their members aren&#8217;t even going to open the paid advert. $15.00 divided by 1 cent = 1,500 members or less are expected to open the paid advert.</p>
<p>What happens if 1 Cent Email&#8217;s advertising plan backfires and over 10,000 members open up that e-mail? 10,000 x 1 cent = $100.00. That means 1 Cent Email could potentially lose money on advertising bought by their own advertisers. This is never a good sign, but the likely hood of few members actually being active in the paid to read e-mail site is a high chance anyway. So I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>Anyway, it never hurts to give the advertising site a try. I mean, it is free to sign up. I just wouldn&#8217;t invest any money or hard promotion and effort into the sign up bonus site.  Take a look at some more <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/bonus/paid-to-click-sign-up-bonus.html">paid to read e-mail sign up bonus sites</a> and let me know what you think of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-780" title="Don't get scammed by paid to click websites, check the advertising section of the website to make sure." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/scam-picture.jpg" alt="Don't get scammed by paid to click websites, check the advertising section of the website to make sure." hspace="5" width="111" height="118" />I wanted to inform you of a simple trick that will save you time and the possibility of getting <a href="http://www.switched.com/2009/06/10/facebook-phishing-scam-bills-your-cell-phone/" target="_blank">ripped off</a> by a <strong>paid to click</strong> or a <strong>paid to read e-mail</strong> company. Here is the simple trick folks, if you see a paid to click or a paid to read e-mail website say they will pay you anywhere for 25 cents to $1.00 plus per click or e-mail read, the outlying business opportunity is more than likely a scam or rip off.</p>
<p>Here is the reason why, simply know and understand that if the advertising company you signed up with is paying their members 25 cents to $1.00 per click or e-mail read, how much could they possibly be charging their advertising clients to advertise with them?</p>
<p>This question puts everything out in the open. Think about it, let&#8217;s say the paid to click or <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/get-paid-to-sites/paid-to-read.html">paid to read e-mail company</a> you signed up with pays $1.00 per click. In order for this advertising company to make a profit off of their advertisers they would at the minimum charge their clients a 1 cent surcharge per click. Let&#8217;s say the advertiser wants 1,000 hits to his/her website. What&#8217;s 1,000 x $1.01? The answer = <strong>$1,010.00</strong>. This means the advertiser paid $1,010.00 = <strong>$1.00</strong> for every member&#8217;s click and a <strong>$10.00</strong> admin fee to the website. Seriously, do you think you would pay this much for 1,000 measly hits? Of course not.</p>
<p>This is why I&#8217;m writing this article. If you see a <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/get-paid-to-sites/paid-to-click.html">paid to click</a> or paid to read e-mail site that pays an unusually high amount per click or read, you better go directly to their advertising section and see how much they charge their advertisers to advertise on their website. Then you&#8217;ll know right away whether or not their paid to click or paid to read site is a <strong>scam</strong> or not. If the numbers don&#8217;t add up to a profit for the site you are a member of, it most definitely is a scam.</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t be doing you any justice if I didn&#8217;t at least show an example or two. I wonder how long these money making sites will last with their bogus earning claims. <a href="http://www.bigmoneyptc.com/" target="_blank">Big Money PTC</a> = $1.00 per click to members and only charge their advertisers $3.00 per 1,000.00 clicks. This just doesn&#8217;t add up. <a href="http://www.richptc.com/" target="_blank">Rich PTC</a> = $1.00 per click to members and only charges their advertisers $3.00 per 1,000.00 clicks.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a math wiz to know that these sites equal a big rip off!!!! Legit paid to click and paid to read e-mail sites usually will pay their members 1 cent per click to way less than 1 cent per click. This really sucks, but unfortunately makes sense as far as a successful business model is concerned. You can only charge advertisers so much per click and the member&#8217;s return on investment has to match up with that advertiser&#8217;s advertising costs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>**Update &#8211; Unfortunately Search Big Daddy turned out to be a scam. It sucks when this happens, but that&#8217;s why I always mention not to put money into any of these sites.**</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-741" title="Search Big Daddy - $50.00 in free advertising." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/search-big-daddy-logo-300x246.jpg" alt="Search Big Daddy - $50.00 in free advertising." hspace="5" vspace="1" width="300" height="246" />I was checking out my Google Analytics account today and noticed I got some free hits from <a href="http://www.BigDaddyPays.com/signupmakemoney" target="_blank">Search Big Daddy</a>. I thought to myself, what is this site? So I decided to check out Search Big Daddy. To my utter amazement I discovered that Search Big Daddy is currently giving away <strong>$50.00 in free advertising dollars</strong> just for signing up with their search engine. It didn&#8217;t take me long to go ahead and sign up.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.BigDaddyPays.com/signupmakemoney" target="_blank">Search Big Daddy</a> has a good thing going. You are able to choose a distinct keyword for the site you are submitting for free that will give you a top position in Search Big Daddy&#8217;s search engine. Of course the downfall is that this is a first come first serve opportunity. I was lucky enough to get a decent keyword <strong>free money for signing up</strong>, but I wanted <strong>free money</strong> to be the keyword of my choice. You can&#8217;t get everything you want in life though, now can you?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.BigDaddyPays.com/signupmakemoney" target="_blank">Search Big Daddy</a> is a not only a place where you can sign up for free and submit your website and ad to their search engine. You can also participate in their free affiliate program and refer other webmasters so they can take advantage of $50.00 in free advertising and the ability to choose a special keyword for their website.</p>
<p>Refer other free affiliates to <a href="http://www.searchbigdaddy.com/signupmakemoney  " target="_blank">Big Daddy Pays</a> and earn a 10% commission off of all their listing advertisements in the search engine. One odd thing I noticed about Big Daddy Pays is that they are not only a search engine. It looks like Big Daddy Pays offers video services, social network services, blogging services, an affiliate program, and so much more that I&#8217;m getting tired of writing and you&#8217;ll have to take a look at <a href="http://www.searchbigdaddy.com/signupmakemoney  " target="_blank">Search Big Daddy</a> for yourself to get a hands on experience of what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>Take a look at some more <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/bonus/free-advertising-sign-up-bonus-sites.html">free advertising sign up bonuses</a> and take advantage of some more free hits to your website right away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-575" title="A.W. Surveys - free survey company to join." src="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/awsurveys.jpg" alt="A.W. Surveys - free survey company to join." width="231" height="72" />So far I&#8217;ve had a not-so-good experience with <a href="http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=gdc25" target="_blank">A.W. Surveys</a>. My account with them has been cancelled twice. The first time I had over $50.00 in my account. I found out today that my account has been closed for a second time. I&#8217;m not sure where my earnings were at with them this time though.</p>
<p>A.W. Surveys has a pretty strict and ridiculous 45 day inactive clause. If you don&#8217;t log into your account to stay active with A.W. Surveys and it has been one day over 45 days; your account with them will be deleted. You&#8217;ll have to start all over from scratch and your earnings will be deleted. You think you are making good money with them until you find out A.W. Surveys is a scam just waiting for you to be inactive for over 45 days. They win, you lose.</p>
<p>A.W. Surveys also really isn&#8217;t a real Survey Company in my opinion. Yes A.W. Surveys does ask for your opinion on various websites, but they are really an affiliate company. A.W. Surveys believes if they can get you to look at their affiliate sites and write a quick 2 to 3 sentence spiel about them, you just might sign up with the affiliate site they are promoting.</p>
<p>Now for the positives of joining A.W. Surveys. If you are certain you can be diligent in staying an active member with them, I would recommend taking advantage of the free to sign up opportunity. A.W. Surveys has paid out over $100,000 to their active members since they&#8217;ve been in existence.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=gdc25" target="_blank">A.W. Surveys</a> offers you a minimum of a $6.00 sign up bonus survey for signing up with them. In addition to this they&#8217;ve added $20.00 more in $4.00 sign up bonus surveys and a $1.00 monthly bonus survey. This technically gives you a $27.00 sign up bonus. On top of that you can make $1.25 for every member you refer worldwide.</p>
<p>Remember, the only downfall is that A.W. Surveys will delete your account if you are inactive for more than 45 days. This has gotten me twice now.  If my account had not been deleted twice now, I would&#8217;ve earned my minimum $75.00 to cash out by now. That means I would have  included a proof of payment in this post.</p>
<p>If you are interested in more Survey sites that pay you to sign up. Take a look at my <a href="http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/bonus/survey-sign-up-bonus-sites.html" target="_blank">Survey sign up bonus</a> page and let me know what you think.</p>

Although they have paid me once, <a href="javascript: openwindow13()">see Bux.to proof</a>, I requested my second payout over 9 months ago and have yet to see it. To me it&#8217;s just another Bux site, yet I&#8217;ve seen a lot of Bux sites disappear since I&#8217;ve been keeping track. The fact that their website is still up is enough for me not to give up on them.</p>
<p>I highly recommned not to invest any money with the Company. Just take advantage of their free paid to click money making services.</p>
<p>Any Company that tries to make it&#8217;s main source of income off of selling referrals is bad news. It&#8217;s maybe even best to call it a scam.</p>
<p>They now owe me $2,800.00 that I requested payout over nine months ago and have yet to see this money. Their terms of service state that upgraded members will receive their payout within 30 business days and that free members will receive their payouts within 60 business days. This in itself should have been a red flag for me.</p>
<p>Why should it take so long to receive a payout? Especially since the payout is at $10.00. Does it really take that long to audit all the clicks? They should have some sort of software to take care of that.</p>
<p>Anyway, I will do another post  on them if they pay me and it will be a positive one with a little bit of negativity of why it took so long for them to pay out. I&#8217;m definitely not holding my breath though!</p>
