Q#1 I joined a GPT survey/offer site and my referrer told me I wont have to join anything or buy or invest any money, yet when I do a survey the ad's all want me to do exactly that, so how do I make money doing this?
Answer Remember one thing, you joined a GPT site, you are doing the survey and getting paid by them
not the advertisers, the GPT site is paying you to simply go through and answer yes/no in the survey, you dont have to partake in the ad/offer's or buy what they are offering, simply click or select the "NO" button.
Q#2 As Im going through the survey I come to a page of about 20 ad's and I select "no" to all of them, yet when I submit the page I get a message telling me I must say yes to at least one offer but Im not interested in any of the products, how do I continue with the survey and get paid from the GPT site?
Answer Go ahead and say yes to one, when you submit the page the very next page will be the advertisement you said yes to and there will be an option to say "NO" or "SKIP" or "NO THANK YOU". If you dont see this then look for it by scrolling up/down or right/left. If you still dont see it try clicking the [x] and hope this doesn't take you out of the survey.
Q#3 Telemarketers I did several surveys and got bombarded with telemarkester calls, how do I get them to stop?
Answer First get on the "do not call list". Do a google to find out how. Next get a free voice mail phone number, I use
http://www.K7.net (not sure but I think this is USA only), use the number on all the forms you fill out, you will never hear a telemarketer again!
Q4 Junk Email I joined a GPT site and now Im getting a ton of junk email, What do I do?
Answer Never use your primary email address, for this very reason use a second email address, in fact it is recommended that you use gmail.com or yahoo.com or hotmail.com. It's free and unlimited, there are others but I dont know them, I use the @live.com version of hotmail. I found this new one gmx.com it is much easier to use however you have to go to "security" and disable the spam blocker. It's is also recommended to create a new email address every day. Warning: When you create a new email address sometimes the name you want to use is already in use and the email company may suggest something like this You want to use "johndoe@hotmail.com" But it's already in use and hotmail suggests "john.doe@hotmail.com" "an extra dot in the address" DO NOT ACCEPT! Think of something else with only letters and numbers in it "johndoe2000@hotmail.com" and so on. For some reason the advertisers consider the extra dot as "obscene" and you will never get approved. Sounds crazy but true.
Q5 Approvals Im doing surveys but very few are getting approved, Im doing all this work and not getting paid for my effort, what's wrong?
Answer There could be many reason's but I will respond with a few reason's that may be of help. One reason could be your email address has been taged as having already done the survey, create a new email account, delete the pending survey and try it again. Another reason could be you have already done the survey at another GPT site. If you belong to several GPT's you cant do the same survey again at another GPT site and get paid again. Not only can you get taged by the advertisers but you can get banned off of the GPT site's. It's recomended that if you do multi GPT's then keep a log of what survey's you did at what sites.
Another reason could be some survey's dont want you to do more then one or two a day, sometime's its good to take note of the survey's ID or name and let that one approve before doing another from the same company. Contact the support system at the GPT site and ask what surveys do this. Firehouseoffers has a awsome support system. Another reason may be you didnt delete your cookies and empty your temporary internet files. You should do this after doing "each" survey. If your using internet explorer as your browser a good tool to add is C-cleaner. I will be adding a banner link to this soon but in the meantime it's in my other blog. Caution tho, when you download it "uncheck" the box that will also download a "yahoo tool bar" You wont want all the other crap that comes along with it. If you still have problems getting approvals try a different browser such as firefox and I have been having good success with Google-Crome. It's a little harder to use but I get approvals!
Lastly, You must enable cookies and turn off your pop-up blocker. WHAT! Yep if your not allowing the advertisers to send you pop-ups then they will not approve your effort. Dont worry there are not very many and the same few may pop-up again but you can just [x] out of them and they do stop. I will add more reasons as I think of them.
Q#6 "Silver/Gold/Platinum I started a survey, went through the whole thing and came to a
Final Offers page that says to finish the survey I must do 2 silver 2 gold and 4 platinum offers, do I realy have to take these offers?
Answer Once Again, you do not have to buy anything that you do not want to buy in order to get paid from the GPT site, however before starting a new survey read what the GPT site is asking you to do. Some sites my say something like "offer converts on the final offers page, do at least one offer". What they realy mean to say is "Open or click on one of the S/G/P offers and read or stay in the ad for 30 seconds" Then get out of the survey, get back to the GPT site and send to pending. Some GPT sites may word an instruction like "Email Submit" "Offer converts with a simple email submit" Go beyond just submitting your email, fill out the form on the second page, and on the 3rd page click the [x] which should take you to the S/G/P final offers page and do one ad for 30 seconds, this has worked for me over & over again.
Q#7 Pending My GPT survey site state's that finished surveys will stay in "pending" for 10 days then be deleted. Well several surveys I did not only stayed in pending for the 10 days and I was not approved but I am now blocked from doing the survey again, Is this a normal policy?
Answer Dont wait the 10 days, if your survey effort has not approved in 3 days, delete it yourself, and do the survey again using a different email address. All the GPT sites I belong to allow this to be done, if they dont then that may not be a legit GPT site.
Q#8 Referrals I joined a site and heard about referrals, what are referrals and how do I get them?
Answer Referrals are people you refer to the site you have joined. By joining "under" you, you get paid a percent of what your referral makes at the site. That's as long as your referral is "active" in the program. You can get referrals by looking (google) for discussion forums like
mylot, also you can use websites such as the ones in the right collumn of this blog. If you go the forum route be sure to see if they allow this kind of activity.
Advice There are higher paying incentive's in most of these sites, some pay in dollars. In order to collect the GPT site incentive some may require a credit card. If you should choose to do these offers be sure to use only a bank issued card and not a "pre paid" credit card. The reason is pre paid cards can be cancled before the advertiser has a chance to collect the fee, so pre paid cards will be rejected, some advertiser's even consider it fraud so be careful.
Robo Form When you do a survey/offer you are on a timer, if you are using robo form to fill out form's with one click then going to the next page then you are not staying in the survey long enough and you wont get approved, not even if all the info is correct. Do not use robo form.
