UPDATE

Hey guys, I have been very busy with school and other things lately. I just wanted to tell you that I am still around and I still am involved with CashCrate. I forgot to post the pictures of the checks that I have received recently though. Maybe I will remember to post the October or November one when it comes. I still check this blog and my Youtube page frequently, so any questions or concerns will be answered. Remember, if you sign up to CashCrate, you can email me there (but you have to be my referral to do that). I have communicated a lot with some of my referrals and have helped them with tips and tricks. Some of them have been quite successful. Hope you choose to sign up and send me an email there when you do if you want some tips and tricks. Good luck!

Check #2 Has Arrived

Click on check to enlarge it.

Here is my check for July worth $118.16! That money was earned during the whole month of July and it shows you just how much you can make by spending just a little time each day on CashCrate. Of course, you can spend more time and get a larger check. Some dedicated people make close to 300 dollars in a month or even a little more (if they win instant CashCrate cash during live contests). And you just cash this (endorse it if you have to) at a bank. No paying taxes on it, or sending any tax info. I posted another video on YouTube with the check and just talking a little more about CashCrate. If you want to see that video here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2O6oCAhr6s

And just a few days ago, CashCrate passed the 4 million members mark! That is quite the accomplishment!

Youtube Video about CashCrate and Showing Proof of Payment

This is a quick video I made on Youtube the other day. I wanted to put it here on my blog for the blog readers to be able to see it as well and not have to search on Youtube forever to find it.

CashCrate Check Has Arrived!....And Other Details about CashCrate

Click on the check to see a larger view of it. (:

Here it is guys! This is proof that CashCrate does send checks and does pay out its users. I made this money in the last few days of June and wanted to wait until I actually received  a check from them to make sure they do pay out. My next check for July will be for over 100 dollars, as I have the whole month instead of a few days to work. You can now be sure that CashCrate has the money from the companies/advertisers and it does pay its users. If you want further proof, after you sign up, go under the "community" tab and go down to "payment wall." You will see a line at the top of the page saying, " CashCrate has paid out $3,910,841.32 to it's users since 2006. Here are real payments posted by our users." Below that, you will find 1,576 checks that different people have taken pictures of and submitted. You can also cash the check at any bank and put the money in your bank account or even cash it at a Wal-Mart store for a small fee. If you are young (you can be 13 years old but still have a CashCrate account) and don't have your own bank account yet, you can endorse the check on the back and have one of your parents cash the check for you.

I also wanted to tell you about some other cool features at CashCrate. There are cool contests where you can earn money/other cool prizes. There is a month long contest where people who do the most surveys/offers get extra cash. There are also live contests where you can win up to $50 instant CashCrate cash and there is also a $100 raffle. There are also games you can play to earn more points. You can then buy gift cards/electronics with those points if you earn enough. And finally there is a Cashcrate Forum where you can talk with other members and CashCrate moderators. There is also a built in email system at CashCrate, where you can easily communicate with me. As you can see, there are plenty of cool things to do at CashCrate and you can make money/earn prizes while doing them!

CashCrate Introduces Bonus Surveys and Cash Tasks

CashCrate has added another way to earn money with a tab named "Bonus Surveys." There are in fact bonus surveys to take (some that pay over one dollar per completion) and bonus offers too. The offers vary in what you have to do. Some are similar to the original offers (described in the post called "1st way to Make Money Online at CashCrate - Offers") and others are more like viewing ads, taking trivia, downloading games, ordering subscriptions to online magazines, etc. You can check back every now and then to see new surveys/offers that were added (I check a few times a day to see new surveys specifically). I personally love the bonus surveys/offers because they confirm right away and they don't take too long to complete.

As for Cash Tasks, you have to do specific jobs on the internet like identifying company websites, judging relevance of items based on a search query, etc. They only pay anywhere from like 1 or 2 cents to 15 cents but they don't take too long and they confirm right away too. They are good for just bumping up your money total every now and then.

5th Way to Make Money Online at CashCrate - Referrals

CashCrate has a great referral system. When you first start out, you will earn 20% of the money that each of your referrals make (the 20% doesn't get taken from them, it is just an added bonus for you). You will also make 10% of what your referrals' referrals make (second-hand level referrals). There are other bonuses too, like earning $3 when your referrals earn their first $10. The important thing is the active U.S referrals (people in the U.S who you signed up and have completed at least one cash offer/survey). You go up in referral rank as you get more active U.S referrals. You start off at bronze and can go up all the way to Elite level where you earn 30% of the money from your primary referrals and 20% of the money from your second-hand level referrals. Basically, the more people you sign up with your link (you get a custom link that you share with others and when they sign up with that link, they become your referral), the more money you can get. Start by referring your friends and family members and you can refer other people you know around your community too. If you want, you can also refer people from forums or other sites that you participate in.

4th Way to Make Money Online at CashCrate - Shopping

This is a cool way to make a lot of money if you like to do online shopping. There are links to popular places online like iTunes, Wal-mart, Office Depot, Microsoft store, etc. where you can buy stuff like you normally do. But, by clicking the link to that site from your CashCrate account, you get cashback on every purchase you make. You earn a percentage of the amount that you spend online. For example, at Wal-mart online, you earn 3% of every purchase you make. That is one of the lower ones though. One of the higher percentages is at magazines.com where you can earn 26% of every purchase that you make back in your CashCrate account. I personally haven't tried any of these, so I can't give you any personal tips. But the cool part is you get paid for buying stuff online.

3rd Way to Make Money Online at CashCrate - Videos

You can earn money by watching videos, or ads that companies show you. For most of them, there will be like 2 numbers on the screen while the video is playing. Then when the video ends, you have to type in the numbers you saw to get your money. The videos are pretty short and they don't pay a lot, but it's a quick and easy way to get some more money.

2nd Way to Make Money Online at CashCrate - Surveys

CashCrate offers 8 daily surveys from 8 different companies. They can vary significantly in length anywhere from 2 or 3 minutes to maybe even 15 minutes to complete. It is very important to give the same, accurate information each time for each survey. A lot of these surveys will ask you questions like "How many people are living in your house?" and it is important you give the same answer for each and every survey you take. If the survey companies realize you aren't giving truthful, honest answers they may stop crediting you for your opinion. The payout for each survey is in between the 50 cent-80 cent range. Finally, the most important thing for the surveys is that you can only take one survey from each of the 8 companies every 24 hours. So that means you can take 8 surveys every day. I keep a spreadsheet of the date and exact time I took a survey from each of the companies to keep track of this (this is important because if you try to take more than 1 survey from a company in less than 24 hours you won't get credit for that survey).

1st Way to Make Money Online at CashCrate - Offers

When you first join CashCrate you will have well over 100 offers available for you to complete for money. Some simple offers can give you only 10 or 15 cents upon completion while some other ones can give you over 20 dollars upon completion. The most important thing to remember is that most of these offers on CashCrate do not require you to give your credit card info or spend any money. You can still make money from offers by not paying anything. Most offers require only about 2 or 3 minutes of your time and pay you somewhere from 50 cents to 2 dollars. After you complete an offer, make sure to press the "Submit" button beside it so you can keep track of which offers you have completed. I also just wanted to mention the CashCrate toolbar. You can install a search bar sponsored by CashCrate on your internet browser and you get paid for searching everyday. You can have up to 10 qualified searches a day (meaning not just searching back to back to back for nothing) and get a dollar after you install it and do 20 qualified searches. Then you get 50 cents after every 25 searches. If you get your 10 searches everyday, you can get about 5-6 dollars every month just by doing your regular daily searching on the internet.

HELPFUL TIPS: You have to be patient after you complete offers because some of the free ones can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day or two to confirm. After the companies confirm you completed their offer, CashCrate will automatically credit your account. Some of the paid offers (and trial offers) can take even 2 weeks or more to confirm as companies want to make sure you have paid for their product or had enough time to test out their product. Also, I recommend you make several free emails on Gmail or Yahoo to use when completing offers because you will get a lot of spam mail. For the offers, you can give them your current address as you will receive very little snail mail from advertisers. I also use my real cellphone number and get very few calls. When I do, I just say "not interested" and they won't call back. Finally, I recommend you wait a few hours after completing some offers and then clearing your cookies on your computer as some companies have a few offers and they may not confirm each offer you do if they see you are doing multiple ones. You also need to alternate email addresses because they can remember you by an email you used. So use one email for a few offers or so and then switch to using another one.
