E-MailPaysU Review



This program is no longer paying and admin is unresponsive. I would avoid this program.


E-MailPaysU is a combination of paid to click and paid to read that credits your account with $10 when you sign up. They will send e-mails to your personal e-mail account with a link that you click to receive credit. There are similar messages that are sent to an internal mailbox as well that you must sign on to view. You click on a link in these messages and receive credit once a short timer runs down. Each one of these messages are worth either $0.02 or two points (the points are converted to cash quarterly). There is also a paid to click section of the site that will pay $0.005 per click.

With the combination of the three methods listed above, earnings can accumulate at a fairly decent pace. To provide additional income opportunities, they also have a paid to join section. There are offers that reward you from around $0.25 to $5.00 for joining certain programs. These offers can vary from singing up for surveys, information requests on products, or signing up for trial services with companies like Blockbuster. Most of these signups are free but some do require a credit card as only the trial period is free. You can cancel these programs prior to the end of the free trial period and still retain your earnings if you find that the service is not worthwhile for you to keep. This is a huge earnings opportunity if you actively pursue these opportunities. They do not have as many offers as InboxDollars and I would recommend using InboxDollars first if they have the same offer.

In my opinion, this site is not very easy to navigate as it can be cluttered and a little confusing. But once you are used to it, you will have not problems. One common question is about the login page. Once you click on the members login page, you need to scroll about ¾ of the way down to find the username and password entry boxes. This will take you to your account. Any paid messages in your internal mailbox will be linked at the top of this page. A link to your current earnings is about half way down the page.

InboxDollars Review


I have really enjoyed my experience with InboxDollars. This program has many opportunities to make additional income even if you do not gain a lot of referrals. It is included in this section because one of it’s many programs is a paid to read program. InboxDollars sends out a good amount of paid e-mails. Each e-mail contains a clickable link that will give you credit for reading the e-mail. The earnings per e-mail are not exceptionally high but due to the steady flow of e-mails the earnings can add up fairly quickly.
There are quite a number of other opportunities to earn with InboxDollars. One of these is the paid to join section. There are a large number of offers that reward you from around $0.25 to $15.00 for joining certain programs. These offers can vary from singing up for surveys, information requests on products, or signing up for trial services with companies like Blockbuster. Most of these signups are free but some do require a credit card as only the trial period is free. You can cancel these programs prior to the end of the free trial period and still retain your earnings if you find that the service is not worthwhile for you to keep. This is a huge earnings opportunity if you actively pursue these opportunities. You can easily earn $50 or more in an evening. I find that InboxDollars pays better and in a more timely manner than most others offering this type of program.
InboxDollars also offers paid surveys with earnings that are added to your account. The earnings per survey vary but they seem to be inline with the earnings from most survey sites and they are frequently available. Another benefit of completing your surveys through InboxDollars is that your survey earnings are added to your InboxDollars account along with your earnings from all of the other earning methods. That way you earn your payout amount a lot quicker. You will even receive earnings on your profile surveys.
Another great opportunity with InboxDollars is the paid to shop section. If you ever purchase items on the internet from retails like Overstock.com, Old Navy and many more, you can earn cash back by visiting them through InboxDollars. Your link through InboxDollars takes you to the regular website so you pay the same amount that you normally would but you earn cash back to your account when you make a purchase. The amount going back to your account usually varies from 0.5% to 5.0% of your purchase. If you are planning on purchasing something, why not get paid to do it. Once again, earnings from paid to shop are added to your regular InboxDollars accounts making payout minimums a lot quicker to reach.
InboxDollars also offers a paid games section. I have not personally participated in this section so I do not have a lot of experience with it. If online gaming is something that you enjoy then once again why not make some earning off from it. If you have participated in this then please post a comment and share your experiences with everyone.
The minimum payout for InboxDollars is moderately high at $30 on the initial payment. This is relatively easy to obtain by participating in the various aspects of this program. You can hit the $30 by working the paid to join offers in one night alone ( it does take a couple of days for these to credit to your account ). They do give you a $5 credit to your account when you join so you really only need to earn $25 to your account to get to the $30 payout. Once you reach payout, they mail you a check on the first of the 2nd month you requested payment (example you request payment of 22 January, your check will mail 1 March). It may seem like a long time but it is always less than 2 months and they pay exactly when they say they will.
At first glance the referral and upgrade programs do not seem that great, but they are actually much more than what they seem. You earn 10% on all qualified earnings for first level referrals. These qualified earnings are include the paid to join offers, paid surveys excluding the profile surveys, paid shopping earnings, and paid games earnings. There are no referral earnings on paid e-mails, the sign-up bonus and profile surveys. You can see how the referral earnings can add up with the example: if a referral completes a $15 paid to join offer, a $2 survey and a $100 purchase from a 3% paid to shop in a night, you would receive $2 ($1.50 from paid to join, $0.20 from the survey and $0.30 from paid to shop). The upgrade program is great considering the price. It is free after your first $30 payout. With your free upgrade you will be put in a pool to get free referrals, you will have a lower payout amount ($15) and you will be eligible for exclusive offers. I would highly recommend this as a starter program for anyone.

Take the Internet Back Review



Take the Internet Back is an interesting Paid to Click / Paid to Read. The idea is that it is a revenue sharing program where 90% of ad revenue is sent back to membership (45% reinvested in program/45% paid out). The program is exceptionally easy to use with some e-mails sent to your e-mail account. On these e-mails you just click on a link to receive a one point credit. There are also links in your TIB account inbox with a short timer that will earn you points. There is not much in the way of earnings from referrals as you only get 3 points when you refer someone and 1 additional point when they refer someone else.

One interesting item is that they do require that you have at least two referrals before requesting a pay out. They also give you a $10 bonus for signing up with the program. The e-mails and inbox ads are fairly plentiful and the program may make a very nice addition is the point conversion and point payout works out well. The good points to this program are the plentiful ads and the ease of use. The negatives are the relatively high payouts and the 2 referral requirements. Those two negatives are too much to overcome and I can not recommend this program as it will take a long time to gain any earnings.

Ranking: 4.67
Earning Potential: 1
Ease of Use: 8
Speed of Payout: 5

Basic Price - Free
Pay per Click - 1 point (see above)
Click Timer - immediate to 15 seconds
Minimum Payout - $20
Payout Method - Check or Paypal
Multiple Accounts per Household - No
Referral Pay - 3 points on first level, 1 point on second level
Premium Accounts - No
Premium Benefits - N/A
Referral Packages - No

My Rating - 7.00 (scale of 1 poor to 10 excellent)
