How to produce residual income with paid email services FAQ

 

There are a ton of sites and services on the Internet which make claims to pay you big money for simply reading email. Some of them work, some don’t. I’m passing this on to inform you of those that I’ve found that are credible, and explain the easiest way to start generating residual income by using them.

 

What is the biggest key to actually making a monthly check with these services? In a word, it is referrals. The more people you are able to add to your ‘downline’, the more income you can generate. You will be paid an amount for each email which you read, but you will also get an amount(albeit smaller) for every person in your ‘downline’ who reads an email as well. A ‘downline’ is basically all the people you can get to sign up under you, and all the people they can get to sign up under them, and so on, and so on. Yes, it sounds like a pyramid scheme. In a way, it is, but it also works.

 

Here is the method I’ve used to keep my email services contained and generating money.

 

Step 1: Go out to any free email service. There are several to choose from, such as:

http://mail.yahoo.com/

or

http://lc2.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login

 

and select the ‘Sign Up’ link. This will create an email account to which you can receive ALL your paid emails.  This will also prevent your regular email account from becoming cluttered with the inflow of new messages.

 

Step 2: Start signing up for the different services. There are several out there, the following link has my personal favorites listed in order of ease, payoff, and personal preference.

The top six banners are the ones we are talking about right now. The bottom three are aimed at generating referrals for your ‘downline’. I’ll discuss those later on.

 

You can also click on the banners directly right here:

 

#1 – PaidBizOpMail – The most per email of any($.05), and a great Paid to Click area.

http://www.paidbizopmail.com/?r=tad101

 

#2 – E-Mail Pays U – Doesn’t pay as much as PaidBizOpMail, but they send more. This one also has a Paid to Click area.

#3 – HT Mail – Fair amount of mailings. They pay quite well, and pay for both reading the email and evaluating the advertisers website, if you choose to.

#4 – SendMoreInfo – They only pay $.01 per email, but they send out the most of any service I’ve found.

#5 – OneDollarEmail – Not as many emails as others, but decent return.

#6 – InboxDollars – Good number of emails, and a good return.

When you sign up to any(or all) of these, be sure to give the email address that you created in Step 1.

 

You will receive a confirmation email from each of these services containing your username and password, with which you can log into the services website and check your current stats, view your ‘downline’ referrals, and get to some other cool things which I will cover later.

 

Make sure you write these user names and passwords down somewhere. There will be far too many to try to remember.

 

Step 3: Start reading your email as it comes in to your newly created email account. Every paid email you receive will have a link placed somewhere in it that you must click on to get paid. Some are in the very front of the email. Others are at the very end. Some are buried in the middle. These links will bring up an Internet Explorer window which goes directly to an advertisers site. This is how these companies generate their income, through advertising dollars.

 

The emails will ALWAYS have a line in it which reads something like this:

You must click on the link below(or above) to get paid for reading this email.

 

That is the line you have to look for.

 

Some of the advertisers window which then come up can be closed immediately. Others require you to leave it open for 15 seconds before it credits your account. Each of the services listed in step 2 pay between $.01 and $.05 per email.

 

 

At this point, you can stop.

However, you will rarely(if ever) receive any payment for all

Those emails you bothered to read.

Step 4: This step is a bonus that some of the listed services offer. And it is very easy to do. Some of the services have an area called ‘Paid To Click’.  This is a special area within the service’s website. To get there you will have to log in to the service using the user name and password that you were sent by them in Step 2.

 

Once you log in to the service website, click on the link that says ‘Paid To Click’. You will be taken to a page full of banner ads.  All you do is click on every one of them, then close the window which pops up. These typically pay about a penny each. And you can click on them every day. That’s about $.12 per day that you create directly, then calculate in the banners that your referrals click on and you can see that this begins to add up.

 

And like I said, you and each of your ‘downline’ referrals can do this each and every day!

 

The services which currently offer ‘Paid To Click’ areas are the following:

 

PaidBizOpMail

http://www.paidbizopmail.com/?r=tad101

 

E-Mail Pays U

http://www.e-mailpaysu.com/members/index.cgi?tad101

 

I’m sure there will be others following their lead very soon, as it is a very popular function.

 

Step 5: Referrals.  Here is where you can begin to actually start to see some money flowing into your account. Every one of the paid email services has an area that you can access when you log in called ‘Member Services’. In this area you will find referral links which are tailor-made to your account. When people click on these links, they are sent to the service sign on area, and you are automatically added to their ‘referred by’ entry.

This means when they use your link to sign up, they are added to your ‘downline’, and whatever they do to generate money in that service, you get a piece of.

 

Once you have obtained your ‘referral link’ from the service, you need to get it passed on to people to use. There are several ways to do this. First(and easiest) try writing up a brief email about the service and send it out to your friends and family. This is the most basic way to get referrals. Only problem is, this list can run dry fairly quickly.

 

Another good way to get your referral link out there is with Auto-Linking services. These services basically sit there all day and push web pages out to people’s desktops where they view them. All you need to do is sign up for one or two of them and use your referral link as your web page. This will then be pushed out for people to view.

 

You can link to some of these services by going to the following link again:

The Auto-Linking services are the last three links that I told you I would talk about later.

The three Auto-Linking banners are listed in order of ease of use. You can also link to each of them directly here:

 

AutoHits

http://autohits.dk/?ref=1099422647

 

AutoHarvester

http://www.autoharvester.com/register.php?r=tad101

 

Speeding Bullet

http://www.speedingbullet.ws/?ref=3459

 

You use these services by having your web browser open and ‘viewing’ pages that these services ‘push’ out to your desktop. Personally, I keep these running in the background, or minimized so they don’t get in my way. They keep running and you keep getting ‘hits’ for your referral links. As you view sites through these services, you receive credits which are spent as your link is pushed out to other people in the rotation.

 

An obvious question is ‘well, if everyone does just like you and minimizes the viewer, how does anyone ever see your referral link?’. Good question. I wondered this too. Until I actually started getting referrals from it. So obviously, someone out there actually watches what is displayed to his or her desktop.

 

Step 6: This one is optional. It involves actually building your own website and registering it with search engines to get your referral links out to the world. As this one is also fairly involved, I think it deserves it’s own FAQ, which will be out at a later time.

 

 

I should point out here that ALL of the online services listed in this FAQ are ABSOLUTELY FREE! Any ‘Get Paid To Read Email’ service that asks you to pay a membership fee to use it IS A SCAM!  Do not join any one of these services that require that you pay to be a member.
