Top 5 Tips for Cash Crate

Much like my series on the Top 5 Tips for Making Money with Hits4Pay, this post is intended to help you get started with Cash Crate. This Top 5 list will be a bit more abbreviated than that series, however.

Top 5 Tips for Cash Crate

Tip #1: Create 2 New E-mail Accounts

One of the easiest ways to make money with Cash Crate is by taking advantage of the free offers. However, on pretty much all of them, you are required to enter a valid e-mail address. Of course, as soon as the company making the offer gets that, they will spam you like crazy! In order to keep the spam under control, I created 2 new e-mail accounts. (Gmail is an easy web-based e-mail to get set up.) The first account is the one I used to register with Cash Crate. This is where you will receive any information from Cash Crate regarding your account (i.e. payments, contests, etc.) The second account is the one I use when I fill out the contact information on free offers. This way, all the spam then goes to a separate account. (It's important to note that when you do surveys, you MUST use the e-mail address that you registered with Cash Crate. The second e-mail is used for OFFERS...the first e-mail is for SURVEYS.)


Tip #2: Sign Up!

I said it with Hits4Pay, and I'll say it again for Cash Crate, Deals 'n Cash, Inbox Dollars...you name it. There are so many people who, for some reason, see these websites and just don't sign up. I know that there are many skeptics out there, and they see this site saying they're going to give you "free" money, and the word "SCAM" immediately comes to mind. But think about it, unless they are asking you for money, social security information, or banking information, you aren't getting scammed. Even if you sign up and you never see a penny (which won't happen with Cash Crate by the way), it's not like you lost anything. So it's definitely not a scam, and it's definitely worth trying out, because there's nothing to lose and FREE money to gain!


Tip #3: Get Clickin'

Unlike Hits4Pay and Deals 'n Cash, where you have to wait for paid e-mails to be sent to you, Cash Crate allows you to start making money right away. As soon as you create your account, you are taken to your Member's Area, where you will see all the offers and surveys available to you. I recommend starting with the surveys, because it's an easy way to make $1.60 per day. Cash Crate allows members to take up to 2 surveys per day, which are each worth $.80. The only catch is that you'll have to qualify for surveys based on your demographics. So you won't always be able to participate in 2 per day, but I definitely recommend trying. Most days you'll find at least 1 you can participate in...and there's $.80 in your pocket. (If you don't qualify for a survey, most of the time it will ask you if you'd like to try to qualify for another. Keep trying until it stops asking you this, so you can be absolutely sure there isn't one for you to take that day.)

Next, you'll want to start completing free offers. This is where a lot of skeptics say, "Okay, what do I have to buy or sign up for to get paid?" It's true, the high payout offers (the ones that will pay $10 or more sometimes) do require you to sign up for or try stuff. However, there are plenty of no obligation offers out there. Filter the offers by selecting "100% Free offers" and sorting them by "Rating." This will list the best offers first, either based on how quickly the payout is approved, or how high the payout is. You will see a lot of $.35 offers at the top of the list. I started with these ones, that way I was able to build up some cash before I did the higher payout ones that required me to buy something.


Tip #4: Follow Directions and Pace Yourself

Okay, so this is 2 tips...so you're really getting the Top 6 tips! On the list of offers, you will see a description of the offer, which usually says something like "Fill out the survey with valid information and click on two offers on the 'Final Steps' page." Those are your directions. Do what they say, and then click on the "Submit" button. (In most cases, you will have to answer one survey question, then input your contact information, then click through 3-5 pages of other offers. You don't have to take part in any of these offers, and once you get to the "Last Steps" page, you just click on 2 or 3 of them and you're done!) After you've submitted the offer, the payout will appear in your "Pending" payments. You will receive an e-mail once it's been approved. Most of them take just a couple hours, but it could be days or even a couple weeks.

One tip I recommend on the free offers is to only do 2 or 3 at a time. Don't let your pending payments get too high, because it will just get frustrating, and they might also take longer to be approved. So pace yourself. It will be more satisfying to see those payouts approved, than to have $40-50 dollars in your pending and only $2.00 in your approved. Besides, the minimum required to receive a check from Cash Crate is only $10.00. You'll be able to get that easily, so there's no need to rush.


Tip #5: Get Referrals

I know, I know...you're thinking, "Great, another program that you won't make any money on unless you have 2,000 downline members!" But as my favorite college football color guy Lee Corso would say - "Not so fast, my friend!" Unlike Hits4Pay or Deals 'n Cash (don't get me wrong, those are both profitable programs, as long as you put the effort into it), with Cash Crate you can actually make a decent amount of money on your own. However, they have a pretty solid compensation plan that allows members who get referrals to make a good amount of extra income. They have a tiered referral plan. You will start out making 20% of your first level referrals earnings, and 10% of your second levels. The more referrals you get, the more you make. So when you move up to the next tier, you will get 25% and 10%, and so on. This is pretty good motivation to build up your referral list!


So there you have it, 5 tips to help you get started with Cash Crate. I'd love to hear your comments...do you like Cash Crate? had success with it? hate it? Let me know! I'm going to leave you with one more tip (so I guess this is really the Top 7 tips!)...STICK WITH IT. There are so many people out there who will sign up and make a few bucks at the beginning, and then just give up. But if you stick with it, put a little bit of time and effort into it, you can be bringing in a substantial amount of extra income in each month...just be patient and have fun!
