Snap Dollars (USA only sign up link) will actually pay you $5.00 into your earnings account after you confirm your e-mail address with them. I have been a member of Snap Dollars (International sign up link) for over a year now. I have never done a paid to sign up offer with them. I do see that they have some competitive offers that they will pay you to sign up with, but I’ve just been too busy to take advantage of any of these.

I have a system set up whenever I do a paid to sign up offer with a site. For example, if I did a trial offer that lasts 14 days, I would use Microsoft Outlook’s Calender as a tool to keep everything well organized. You don’t have to use Outlook, you can use whatever organization software that came with your computer. The important thing is that you have some system set up where you’ll know whether or not you want to cancel with the trial membership or not. The things you’ll want to take note of is what day you signed up, how long the trial period lasts, a phone number or website you can contact in order to cancel your account, how much the offer pays to sign up, and how much you’ll make when everything is said and done.

In order to get paid by Snap Dollars, you have to have a minimum of $40.00 in your earnings account. I only have $24.10 (that includes my $5.00 sign up bonus) at the moment and have referred 102 members. With Snap Dollars you get paid to read the e-mails they send you. So far I’ve read 426 e-mails and made $10.45. That equals an average of 2.5 cents an e-mail read. That isn’t really that bad of a deal considering it takes me less than 10 seconds to actually glance through an e-mail. My 102 referrals have read 2,269 e-mails and that has earned me $8.05. That’s less than a cent per e-mail read, but this is other people’s work, not my own.

If I was actually an active member with Snap Dollars and did a few of their paid to sign up offers I would’ve probably already received my first check from them by now. All I do is read Snap Dollar’s paid e-mails and earn from my referrals. Snap Dollars offers a number of ways to earn with them. You can get paid to sign up on free offers, paid offers, or trial offers. You can also get paid to shop online and receive cash back, get paid to play games online, and get paid to sign up with Survey Companies.

Once again, I haven’t taken advantage of the above earning opportunities, but plan to in the future. If you would like to find more paid to sign up sites like Snap Dollars, then take a look at my other paid to sign up sites and let me know what you think of them.

Market Force used to be known as Shopncheck and was only one Company. Market Force has really come a long way and teamed up with a bunch of other prosperous Mystery Shopping Companies and Merchandising Companies to make it what it is today. In my humble opinion they are the best Secret Shopping Company out there. Don’t get me wrong, I know there are a lot of other really good paid to shop sites out there, but the amount of income I make with Market Force surpasses all the other Secret Shopping Companies out there. Market Force also has a good system set up for scheduling and reporting your results online.

If you aren’t currently a shopper with Market Force, I highly recommend taking advantage of this free opportunity. That’s right, I said free! The only tools you’ll need to be a successful Mystery Shopper are the following:

• A vehicle to get from point A to point B
• Computer
• Printer
• Scanner or digital camera
• An Internet connection
• The ability to work on your own and self motivation
• Good writing skills

As a Secret Shopper myself, I am not allowed to mention who Market Force’s clients are. I can say that I respect their clients for wanting to improve their customer service. In my opinion, that is what makes a Company stand above its competitors.

If you like Market Force, then you’ll like my other recommended Secret Shopping Companies to join. They are all free, so you have nothing to lose. Some websites will charge a fee for this same list, but I think that’s unethical. You apply for these Mystery Shopping Companies almost in the same way you would apply for a job. Except as a Secret Shopper, you are considered an Independent contractor and work on your own. This also means you are responsible for keeping track of your income and expenses when tax time comes around.

If you are new to owning your own business and have only had a job your whole life, then take a look at some of the tax deductions you can benefit from having your own home based business.

The Poad Team Traffic Exchange has a good set up as far as getting traffic to customer’s websites.  It’s rare to see a traffic exchange ask it’s surfers questions about the sites being rotated. I love what the Poad Team Traffic Exchange is doing when it comes to surfing websites.

How many other traffic exchanges out there will ask their viewers to confirm an important piece of informative information about their website specifically? Not too many obviously. Most traffic exchanges only ask their viewers to click a certain image confirming they have viewed the site for the required amount of time. The thing that makes Poad Team so different is that they will ask a specific question to the surfer (usually the individual that is promoting their site will determine the question to be asked) while they are viewing the advertised site.

What this does is it makes the viewer really have to take a look at the site being advertised. In order for the viewer to be credited for viewing the site, he or she has to answer a specific question about the site. I think more traffic exchanges should take advantage of this business model even though it is a little bit annoying for the surfer trying to build up credits by surfing. At least the surfer will know his or her site will be viewed very carefully by the next anxious surfer.

Take a look at my other recommended traffic exchanges to see if they may fit your needs.
