Signing Up For Offers Work - The Risks

There seems to be more and more emails in my inbox for online work involving signing up for offers for money. Often these come in a "paid survey work" disguise or even under the name "paid surveys". What exactly does this type of work involve? This form of making money is where you sign up at various advertiser sites for free trials or offers and you get paid. The question is, is this type of work worth your time?

The pay offered is quite good for these sign up offers if you are to compare it to pay per click or even many surveys।Most offers pay over five dollars and up to about fifteen dollars, depending on the sign up deal. There are basically three types of sign up work:

The first is being paid to sign up at free trial offers online. This may be fax services, movie rental services, game or gambling sites. The pay for signing up to these is from about five to fifteen dollars. The pay seems quite good. The downside is that all of this kind require you to use your credit card (even if it is a free trial). The fine print of the trial offer is that if you do not cancel within a certain time period, your credit card will be automatically billed each month for amounts that usually exceed twenty dollars. They also require your personal information.

The second type of work is where you sign up for a "free hundred gift certificate" or "free ipod" or similiar pricey "gift"। The pay is similiarly good, from about ten to fifteen dollars, but there are even more complications for the pay you're getting। These offers require extra sign ups within the offer you are getting paid to sign up for. Let me be precise, let's say the company you work for pays you ten dollars for signing up to this offer. To fully sign up and complete the offer you also have to sign up with the offers within the gift certificate advertiser. Many of those sign ups involve giving your personal and credit card and personal information as well.

The third type of work is where you sign up for membership at a survey site। All this involves is giving your name and filling out a profile (some of which are quite lengthy). You do not need to give your credit card information or worry about extra charges. You will probably receive many emails from promo sites if you give your email and the survey site is actually a survey list site. The pay is low for these sign ups. Generally, it is under one dollar per sign up.

So in fact you can make money with the higher risk sign ups, but you are obligating yourself to keep track of and cancel all the offers you signed up for. You need to carefully note the numbers or contact information to cancel your free trial or risk automatic withdrawals from your credit card. You need to also note the date you have to cancel by or suffer similiar risk.

I personally feel kind of uncomfortable at the potential to be charged and giving out my credit card number and information to companies just to make some money। However, if you are meticulous and keep excellent records of the sign ups, cancelation dates, cancelation numbers and paperwork, you might be inclined to try this type of work. I think there are easier and less dubious ways to make money online that don't involve the risk that this does. Many of my archives have instructions and links to real work and real growth in pay.
