PTR email for bucks--Do Your Homework First

If you grew up in Hawaii and are old enough, you might remember the TV show "Checkers and Pogo." Well, I grew up in Hawaii and am old enough, so not only do I remember C&P, I was even on their show.

One of my favorite parts of the Checkers and Pogo show was when they celebrated the birthday of one of the kids on the show. And one of my favorite parts of a birthday celebration was when the kid had a chance to reach into the penny jar to grab as many pennies as he or she could. Man, did I dream of having a chance to stick my big mitts into that jar to grab a whole bunch of pennies. Well, I never did have that chance when I was on the show but I did win a game that I entered, but that is another story.

Anyway, the point of this as it ties into to work-at-home is that those paid-to-read (PTR) email companies on the web are just like those pennies in the penny jar: there are so many PTR companies out there, many more than I imagined.

Currently, I am enrolled in three, and have earned about $70 from the three combined in about a month of occasional email reading for bucks. What gets me is that after checking this blog, the three PTR sites I have chosen are not even in the top 20 of the most favored sites.

What this tells me is that if I had done my homework beforehand, I might have made much more than $70.

So what I recommend is that you do your homework before sticking your hand into the PTR email penny jar. If you do, you stand to make some bucks, potentially a lot.

Get paid to read email--It does work.

Money can be made from these get-paid-to-read-email sites. I'm signed up with inboxdollars.com and have been making some small kine bucks from them (over $30 in the last few days--click on the screen shot at the bottom of this post for verification). The $5 sign-up fee is for real. If you do decide to go with inboxdollars.com or other get-paid-to-read-email sites, I'd suggest creating a separate email account via yahoo or gmail or a webmail site of your choice and having all the email for your home business sent there. That will help keep you organized.

Tip: look for offers that pay you to sign up for free trials. I've signed up for free trials and canceled prior to the end of the trial period. If you like the product or service offered, by all means keep the product or continue the service. But if you don't like/want/need it, remember to cancel or else you'll be billed. Usually canceling involves sending an email or making a toll-free call.
