Project Payday Review

Here it is! The first review! As well as Project Payday being my first review, this was also the first product I took a chance on. After viewing and reviewing hundreds of other programs, Project Payday was the first one that seemed legitimate enough to give a try. I signed up for their mailing list as the bottom of the page, and then upgraded my account in my back office area.

Basically, Project Payday is a tutorial website. Once you become a member for free (to be explained in a minute), the website gives you video and written tutorials on how to capitalize on the "freebie" industry. Now, what exactly is the "freebie" industry? Well a freebie website is a website that sells subscriptions to other sites and services. For example, Offers4me.net has over 100 offers that you can try for free (but may involve minimal shipping and handling charges). These offers are for things like a Blockbuster Online subscription, a test run of a credit reporting website, or trial offers of medicine.

Offers4me.net gets paid by the advertisers (such as Blockbuster) for each person they refer that orders Blockbuster's trial offer. And how exactly does all this make it an industry? Well, for each offer that you complete, you get a certain amount of credit. Say Blockbuster gives you 1/2 credit for trying out their offer. Offers4me.net is a 1 credit site, meaning you would have to do another 1/2 credit offer to be eligible to receive your prize.

Wait, prize?

That's right. Every time you recieve enough credit on a freebie website (in this case, 1 credit), you get a prize. That prize can be cash, an mp3 player, a tv, or even a game system. The catch is, you have to refer a certain amount of other people to that specific freebie website and they each have to complete 1 credit before you can actually receive your prize. But there are dozens of forums online where you can get referals. The more referals you get, the better the prize you recieve.

3 referals may get yopu 160 dollars, 15 may get you 600 dollars. It's a great system.

Another part of Project Payday that I love is that it has it's own referal incentive program. When you sign up for Project Payday, you are given your very own Project Payday website. And for each person that submits their name and email address, you get paid. They don't even have to sign up for the website!

You read that correctly. The only thing visitors have to do for you to get paid is put in their name and email address. The payout is anywhere from $1.50 - $4.00 per referal, depending on how many people you refer and whether they stick around and buy the service or not.

But I bet you're still wondering how you can get this for free (as I mentioned earlier). Well, since Project Payday teaches you how to use the freebie industry to your advantage, it has it's own little freebie section. You can either pay $19.99 to join, and then pay another $19.99 to become a VIP member (highly recommended), or you can try a couple of the services they offer.

For example, you might decide you want to try the Lifelock Identity Theft prevention service for free to be granted access to the members area instead of paying $19.99. If you decide you don't like the service, you can cancel it before the trial is over and you have lost no money whatsoever. Repeat the process for the VIP membership (except choose a different service other than Lifelock). So you're basically getting VIP access to one of the best online money making websites for free.

Can it really get any better?

The only downside that I've experience with the whole thing is that it takes a while to get started. But once you know what you are doing and get a rythm going, making money is a breeze. In fact, for my first week or so I was making more money off of my referal commissions (at $2.00/referal) than I was completing offers.

Oh, I almost forgot. You actually get PAID to complete free offers. Remember how I said you need referals to get your prize (Cash, tv, etc)? Well if you are someone else's referal, they will pay you a portion of their expected earnings for completing a few offers for them. This is called going "green." Whenever you go green for someone, you get paid! It really is a great system.

So, in conclusion, Project Payday offers free VIP membership access, teaches you step-by-step in video and written tutorials how to make money using the freebie industry, and pays you for referring others to do the same. The only downside is the amount of time it takes to get off the ground and start making the big bucks.

I would rate this program 4.5 out of 5 stars for money making potential and ease of use. I hope my first review was helpful and has given any skeptics the information they were looking for. Once I figure out how to post pictures on this thing, I'll come back and post some proof of my earnings. No one wants to hear from a guy without proof.

See you on the flip side,

First and foremost

Welcome to my blog! From what I hear around the net, a welcome blog is a horrible way to start off any new blog-venture. Well here's the deal.... I don't usually listen to what other people say! I like to make my own decisions for myself. So, if I want to have a welcome blog, here it is!

Anyway, my hope for this blog is to help skeptics like myself separate online venture (job, business, opportunity, etc) fact from fiction. The scams from the real money makers.

I have been trying to find a way to make money online for about the past year or so. When I wasn't in class during school, I was trying to find a way to make money online. It has only been in the past two months that anything has even started to pan out, and really only in the past 2 weeks that I have even started learning what I REALLY need to do to make money online.

There are just so many scams out there it is ridiculous. Think about it. I spent at least 2 hours a day for an entire year before finding something worthwhile. That comes out to be 730 hours of reviewing scams. Because 99% of what I found were scams. I don't want you to waste 730 hours before you find something worthwhile too.

I would love to save you guys out there some grief. I don't want you to have to spend countless hours reviewing a program before buying it. I can't even count all the times I have gone to third party sites trying to find out the real deal on online ventures, only to figure out that most of them are scams.

I always wished there was someone out there I could trust to just give it to me straight. Someone to separate the bullshit from the facts. I got extraordinarily tired trying to sift through everything. I want to save you that trouble.

Over the course of the next few months, I will be travelling around the country. As I move from place to place in my shiny Volvo (that gets 40 mpg...good, huh?) I will be updating this blog as much as possible. I will be giving you my day to day pains and gains with online money making. You will follow me as I succeed or fail using different ventures, and what I did that was either successful or not.

And just so you guys know, this online money business will be my only source of income over the next year. I will be moving from place to place to often to hold down any sort of brick and mortar job, so it really isn't an option for me to fail. If I say it makes me money, what it's really doing is putting gas in my tank and food in my belly. Oh, and paying for all the pretty sights I'm going to see.

I guess that about wraps it up. Check back often to see if there are any new reviews up. See you on the flip side!
