Paid Emails: Is It Worth It?

I've been getting a couple emails lately asking me about paid emails and whether I thought they were worth the time, or "legit". So today I'm going to talk about two of the better known groups (which are the same company now) and the rules that apply to them generally apply to all paid email groups.

The groups I'm going to be specifically talking about today are Send Earnings and Inbox Dollars.

These are the things to keep in mind when joining these groups:

• Use a separate email-if you end up signing up for their "free" offers for extra money, you are almost guaranteed to get spam. You may have already opened a separate one for surveys, that is the one I use.
• Avoid their offers-I do not recommend signing up for their offers, because 9/10 you will get spam, and loads and loads of it. You won't earn as much just reading the emails, but it does not take up a lot of time.
• Take a daily survey-You can earn extra money taking a survey everyday. Because they aren't a regular survey site that already has all your information, getting qualified for a survey may take up more time than its worth.

If you follow these keys, it's not so bad. I don't spend a lot of time trying to qualify for a survey, if it takes more than 5-10 minutes to find one I give up and try the next day. In the past couple months, with surveys and daily email, I have managed to save up enough to cash out on both sites. Not all of their free or trial offers are bad, and sometimes might actually be things you want to sign up for so you might as well check them out. They also offer cash back on tons of popular retailers, so if you already do a lot of shopping online it may be a great thing for you.

If you mostly just do the emails, the payout will be slow. If you read the emails everyday and are okay with waiting for a cash out, paid emails are not a bad deal. They take up very little time and it's always nice to get a check in the mail every few months.
