Cherrymails.Com STAY AWAY!-updated 06/25/09

As per my earlier post, I am looking for more paid to read sites to supplement my growing  income. In my quest I have found two new sites. I will talk about the other one in a later post, as I am still with them.

Cherrymails.com, is the main one I want to talk about in this post. First off let’s just start with a large stay away! At first they look like a regular Paid to Read site. The front page was a little confusing this is what it states

Membership

All Emails 100$, All PTCs 50$

First off, a sign up bonus of $1000? But a cash out of $150,000 (for upgrade members be sure to read that part). Going back to teenage years here, “as if”. It automatically looks like a scam. Getting paid $100 to read an e-mail, and $50 to click? I thought I was doing well with the $1 click from rich PTC’s.

Now we all know me (unless this is the first post you have read), I have nothing to lose but time, and I don’t like judging without trying.

Signing up was basically the same as all the other sites. Wanting to play a little bit, I found the PTC link. Clicked on that, viola 3 adds ready for me to click. Click on them for what they said was to be 40 seconds each, and I would receive……8000 cents? Seriously, that’s what it said.

First of all I am so upset that they are not 50$ (?) like the title page states, what am I going to do with 8000 pennies? Gosh, I am going to need A LOT of penny rollers. Its money none the less.

At this point I believe that this nifty little website was made in a different country (not china), that definitely did not know what they were doing. But hey, I am glad to help someone out. I click on all three ads for a total of 24000 cents.

Right now I am a little excited only because I remember that there is a new corner store on my street that sells gum for .01. So I am guaranteed at least 23000 pieces by the time tax is taken out.

I try to find out what my balance is after this, just incase I did my math wrong….only to find out no balance button. My next resort the withdraw button, I would like to know how much I need in order to cash out. Just like it said 150,000$ (?) For UPGRADED members only. That doesn’t mean that you need more to cash out if you are a non upgraded member, you just plain don’t get to cash out. The site is very disorganized and hard to navigate, and you can tell whomever created it should have named its nutzmails, because they are definitely crazy.

Needless to say I canceled my account; they were very polite in saying sorry to see you go. I could almost see one of the cherries crying, I am not sure if it was because I was leaving or because they had to roll 24000 pennies.

Pros: the cherries were very cute!
Cons: I don’t have a purse big enough for 24000 cents. The dollar sign behind the number is aggravating, and confusing for a young mind.

Take it for what you will, I would not join this site, even if I was going to get 500$ for my mom and if she was going to split it with me..

Update:

It seems I was mistaken, and I shot down Cherry mails to quick. I believe I was called and idiot and a scammer trying to lure my readers away from Cherry Mails, hmmm.. apparently somebody has received payment from them. I only wish I wouldn't have rejected the comment, and had posted it. Either way, we will start over with Cherry Mails, and give them a fair fighting chance. Of coarse stay posted and I will let you know my findings.

Is it worth it, PTR Sites?

I keep wondering if all the time I am putting into these various sites is actually worth it. I need the money...I always need the money, but it seems as if I am going to have to work forever to make the money. I am not opposed to putting an effort forth, but .02 here and there, is it worth it?

I have decided to stay away from the survey sites, and put the get paid to (GPT) sites on hold. The survey sites seem to easily be a scam. I have taken some surveys where they would ask me 50 questions (45 min worth), and then tell me I wasn't eligible to take the survey. So there I wasted 45 min. Needless to say, they could have given me the survey and then just said that I wasn't eligible to take it becuase they didn't want to pay. Either way they seem to be a waste of time.

My main focus right now is PTC (paid to click), PTR (paid to read), and PTP (paid to post), and refferal sites. I will eventually go back to the other sites, but I would like to see how much time it will take me to reach the minimum payout on these sites. These ones seem to be the easiest to do. I am not sure about the refferal sits yet, still doing some experimenting to really understand them.

The PTC, PTR, and PTP sites are pretty self explanitory, and easy. However these are the ones that are a couple sites here and there. As far as PTR, I have signed up for inbox dollars and send earnings. So far I like these to, I won't be getting paid anytime soon as their minimum payout is $30, but the work I do for them is very minimalistic.

Inbox Dollars, and Send Earning both send me about 2 emails a day. I read the e-mail, and hit the confirm read e-mail button. Each e-mail is .02, I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but .08 a day just for hitting a button? Eventually the balance will get up there, and before I know it there will be $60 sitting there waiting for me to use. On both of these sites they offered get to know you surveys. These surveys I did take, and each one was worth .25-.75. They also offer other surveys (the ones I am not fond of). I have taken many of the surveys on both sites, but only been paid for one. Again a waste of time, in my opinion of coarse. Right now the balance on both sites is $6 something and $7 something. Inbox dollars has the highest balance. Honestly if you do the math, and you only read the e-mails it will take about a year to make the $30 minimum payout. So if you sign up for them, and then forget about them. In about a year from now thats an extra $60 you will have to do whatever with. Not really good incentive is it, I guess thats why you need refferals.

As I have said I am checking out some of the refferal sites as we speak. I also plan on signing up for other Paid to Read sites, I would like to get up to about 5, and work my way up. I will eventually be able to tell which ones are the best and not so much.



On another note, There are other things you can get paid to do on SendEarnings and Inbox dollars. There are cash offers, where you complete offers for money again some free trials, sign ups..etc. There are also cashback shopping. If you do a lot of shopping on line, or know that you will have to buy a present for somebody soon, you may want to check this out. and my favorite paid to play games. My state unfortunatly does not allow you to play games for money, but for those states that do, this is a great fun way to earn some cash.



Overall review:

Each site is easy money. Of coarse you can't get rich off of them but you can make something.



Both sites are free to join, and both have a referral program. Good for the working person, or the stay at home person. Each e-mail takes about 3-4 seconds to read. Not bad.



Definitley recommended!!
