Broadcast #2 - "What's with the offers and when do they end?"

That's something I always asked myself in the beginning when I started the online money stuff. The offers are extremely agitating! They really are but don't get stressed. They'll go away. Eventually. No, the deal is that offers need to be completed in order to get some money outta it, even if it's just $0.50. Is there a way around it? Yes. The way I've seen it, it's that as long as you insert your email address on the 1st page or wherever, you could press OK and close out the window. Some actually get credited that way. But some won't. I recommend that you at least do 2 pages of any offers. You don't have to say "yes" to the offers but do at least fill in the blanks with "no". I usually exit out of the screen after two pages. And most always I get credit it for them. If I don't, well then if they're still pending after two days, I delete them and redo them. Simple as that.

There are some very high paying offers. Those offers usually require a credit card. Usually they give you trial membership for free and if you don't cancel before the trial is over, your card gets charged a nominal fee. My advice: Do the offers but KEEP TRACK of what credit card you used, what date you started the "trial membership", the phone number to call when you're going to cancel, and any user names and passwords. I keep a .word document that contains that info. And when I cancel, i usually don't erase them but DO put down any confirmation number or email reference. If you don't want to use your credit cards because you're a bit scared of getting charged, get a Paypal debit card or some other account so that those can be dedicated to the usage towards offers. And don't forget to cancel before the trial is over. I tend to cancel the day after and sometimes I've canceled the same day! So just pay attention to those trial dates!

If you're not being credited for offers you completed, more than likely you didn't empty out your cookies. If you have no idea what cookies are, think of it this way: What do you do when you're trying to hide the websites you've been visiting during work? You go into "internet properties" and delete all the files and "cookies". Same thing. But make sure you delete them frequently so that those offers you complete are properly tracked.

Remember, if you have any questions, let me know by emailing me.
