Is it really possible to earn money doing online surveys? Cash Crate review.

I have discovered Cash Crate a year ago. As anyone who did any research into the subject of making money with surveys, I was very skeptical. To my surprise, the sign up was completely free and so were the offers. No need to shell out any money at all. All you need is an email address and time. Lot of time.

The whole idea of making money on Cash Crate is two fold. First, and the most obvious one, is to do the surveys and offers. This is very straightforward and you are supplied all the information you need in order to get paid for each offer. Most offers pay anywhere from 25 cents to 2 dollars. The payout is clearly marked, so you can easily select offers you are most interested in. Naturally, people prefer to do offers with biggest payout, but many of the cheaper offers are very good too, especially because they do not take a long time to finish. Often, all you need to provide is an email address and fill out some basic form. Sometimes, however, the offer requires more specific work and certain condition need to be met. For example, some medical offers are only for people with certain medical conditions. Unless you meet conditions, you should not do the offer, as it is against Cash Crate policy.

Some offers require an upfront fee to be paid. These are mostly offers for free trials, credit cards etc. I never did any of them, instead, always placed them on my ignore list. Often, these type of offers have the highest payout, but to me, it just was not worth the hassle.

Another thing you need to be aware of is, that in order to fulfill some of the offers, you need to choose at least one of the option the offer promotes. But that is not a problem. It is my experience, that you can simply select one of the options, just to get you to the end of the offer (so you can collect your payout), and then, if a payment page pops up, simply click cancel. I never ever purchased anything, neither from Cash Crate, nor from any of the offers. It is simply not required, even if sometimes it may seem like it is.

Cash Crate offers one more way to earn money – through referrals. I never concentrated on this option, it just was not a viable money making opportunity for me. However, some people on the forum earn a decent income just from the referrals, so if you have the time, you can look into this. Talking about forum – you should definitely have a look at it. People on Cash Crate seem to love sharing their success, experience and tips, so if you are serious about this type of online income, it is a must to become a part of the forum. Again, it is 100% free.

Despite of the smaller payout, it is fairly easy to make money on Cash Crate. But just how much you can earn? It really depends on how much effort you put into doing the offers and referral building. The biggest payout I had was little over $30. Not too much, however, it was at the time when those $30 made a big difference. I still do offers from time to time, but I am moving towards full fledged online marketing. But for people who are just starting out, and for people who are on a shoe string budget, Cash Crate will bring some money home. It is not a scam in any way.
