CashCrate is a survey hosting site that hosts surveys for a variety of marketing companies. Members may select surveys to participate in and receive compensation for their time. CashCrate takes a percentage of the earnings for running their business, but passes the remainder of earnings (up to 75%) on to members
How Much Money Can You Make?
The amount you may earn is really a function of how much work you put in at CashCrate. Some members barely earn the minimum payout of $10.00 each month, while others earn over $1,000 (including earnings from referals). Speaking of referrals, CashCrate has one of the better referral systems out there. In the interest of full disclosure, the majority of my earnings come from refererrals, but it is possible to earn a decent amount of money each month just by completing surveys. If you have a blog of your own, adding a CashCrate referral banner or link is a great way to diversify your income.
Will My Email Inbox Be Flooded With Spam?
Will I Get A Few More Pieces of Junk Mail?
YES! (But I have solutions)
Most offers do require a valid email address, so it is a good idea to create a separate email account to dedicate to CashCrate. Otherwise, you will receive email from various advertisers at your primary email account. Remember though, this is not technically spam as you have agreed to receive offers by participating in the survey. Of course, this has little effect on me because I only check my dedicated CashCrate email account once a month or so. Also purchase a shredder and just shred all of the junk mail that you will be receiving.
What’s the Fastest Way to Make Money at CashCrate?
The fastest way to earn a $10.00 payout (which can easily be done your first day as a member), is to complete the 100% free offers. From the “Complete Offers” menu select “100% Free” from the “Show:” drop down filter. These surveys don’t pay as much, but they are typically shorter and do not require a credit card or trial-offer agreement to participate. When I work surveys these are the only ones I complete because I don’t like the idea of signing up for things just to earn money. I’m too forgetful and am likely to forget to cancel the trial offer in the required time. Stick to 100% free offers and the daily surveys, unless you are feeling adventurous.
