The CashCrate Guide

CashCrate's surveys range in payout from anywhere between $0.05 - $40.  The first day I registered with CashCrate I made about $40!  You have the option of choosing whether you want to do free offers or offers that require a credit card.  Personally, I have always done the free offers and I have still made a lot of money.  Set a goal for yourself and set aside a certain amount of time per day to do some offers.  I suggest 15-20 minutes a day, but you can always do more to increase the amount of money you earn.

Before you get started you should:

 Lets Get Started!

You have not actually gotten paid for that survey yet, but after a little bit of time(which could range anywhere from a couple seconds to a few days) those "Pending Earnings" will be transferred over to that month's earnings once each survey clears.  You need to make a minimum of $20 to get a check sent to you or have the money deposited into your bank account.  Don't worry if you can't earn $20 in one month, your earnings will roll over to the next month until you reach the minimum payout!

Other Useful Tips:

1. If you do not use valid information while filling out surveys you run the risk of getting banned.  Please read CashCrate's terms before starting.  You will get a lot of emails, but this is why you need to create a new email (or even a few) so you don't receive them at your normal, everyday email account.  I rarely get any snail mail or phone calls.  If you do get a spam phone call then tell them to "take me off your list" and you should never hear from them again.

2. You NEVER need to do any of the "Gold", "Silver" or "Platinum" offers that pop up right after you begin your survey.

3. Hit ALT+ to automatically select the "no" circles during a survey - This is a huge time saver

4.  You can increase your chance of offers confirming by running CCleaner every 5 offers or so.  This will clear your cookies and any other data collected during the survey.

5. Create more than 1 email account from Gmail or Yahoo.  This will also increase your chances of offers confirming.

What is Roboform you say?  Roboform is a free, simple, easy, yet stream-lined password manager program that automatically fills out your information such as your name, address, phone number, etc.  This is EXTREMELY helpful and a HUGE time saver so you don't have to constantly fill out your personal information over and over and over again.  This program is also great for many other uses then for just surveys. Roboform attaches to your browser and it is in NO WAY any type of adware or virus.  Once you have downloaded and installed Roboform all you have to do is create a "New Identity" for yourself by imputing your information into the Roboform program.  This only takes a few minutes to do and it really does save you a lot of time in the end when filling out surveys.  After you have saved that information as a new identity all you have to do is hit the button with your name on it and it will automatically fill out your information for you whenever a survey asks you to fill out your personal information!  This is a MUST HAVE program!  There is a PRO Version of Roboform that I highly suggest you purchase because you will always be using Roboform on your computer for the duration of your computer's life.  I ended up purchasing this program because this is THE TOOL to have and, trust me, it's definitely worth the money and a big time saver!

CCleaner is an important program because it clears out your cookies and any other tracking data that is collected when you go through any survey.  This is crucial because an offer will not be credited if you have already visited the site.  By using this software you will clear this data from your browser so your offer should credit faster!
