TO ALL THE NEWBIES - Helpful Info to Get Started

[Madd4Money]

Hi All   

I started this topic because I noticed so many Newbies asking how to get started.  I hope this helps you all to get a good jump start.


1.  Create a separate e-mail just for doing surveys.  Gmail is a good way to use different e-mail addresses and still have all mail go to one main e-mail address.  Gmail allows you to put periods in between your e-mail address so that it "appears" to be a different e-mail.  All mail still goes to the main account.  This is a personal preference.  You could also just open different e-mail addresses on yahoo, msn or hotmail.

2.  Go to www.k7.net and get an internet voicemail number and use this number in your surveys.  This way you won't get inundated with phone calls to your home or cell.  You could also register your home/cell numbers on the Do Not Call list by going to www.donotcall.gov and registering your numbers.  Although this won't stop the first calls made by doing the offers, since you are giving them permission to call when you submit your phone number, but you can then ask to be removed from their phone lists or utilize the Caller ID option that is available on most phones.

3.  Go to www.ccleaner.com and download the cleaner to clean your cookies after offers. (They say this helps with getting credited)

4.  Get started with the No Credit Card Needed offers.  As you get more experienced you might want to try the Free Trials and Credit Card Offers.  Keep in mind that with free trials, many of the sponsors will put a hold on your money for a short time, so make sure you have money in your account to cover.

5.  Don't do offers more than once.  It is against the TOS (terms of service)  If an offer does not credit right away you may have to just wait it out. 

6.  Although many offers say "Instant Credit" on them, they do not all credit instantaneously.  Some credit after a few minutes, hours or days.  Unfortunatley, some may not credit at all.  Don't get frustrated, just keep on going....more credit than do not credit.

7.  Remember when doing offers to keep the Welcome, Congratulations and/or Thank You page open for about 15 seconds before closing it out.  This allows the cookies time to transmit to FC.  Also, wait about 15 seconds more before cleaning cookies.

8.  Remember - cashout is at the end of the month and you will be paid on or around the 20th of the following month. (ex.  Cashout 10/31 = payment around 11/20).

**********Remember to ALWAYS read the TOS on offers**************** 

I hope this helps all of you to get started.

Good luck and Welcome to Fusion!!!!

This helps a lot, thanks!

You're both very welcome.  I'm glad you took the time to read it.  I notice many people are still asking for help in other forums, I wish they would read this as well.  It may cut down on repetitive threads and they may actually be able to get started!! 

Good luck to both of you!!

Howabout for your address? Do you just supply sites with your real address? Do you get spam in the mail?

Putting anything BUT real information is considered fraud and your account will be closed immediately.

Thanks!!!

 but i think that some of the offers never give credit  because i completed more than 20 offers last night but 8 of them gave me credit eventhough most of them were about 0.50 cents to 2.00 !!! i don't know maybe i have to wait some more time!!!

[txslonghornfan]

Can anyone tell me if they only do direct deposit or is there other methods they will do?

Thank you in advance for your help.

[Kohler]

Check, Paypal, and Direct Deposit are the 3 ways you can cash out.

5.  Don't do offers more than once.  It is against the TOS (terms of service)  If an offer does not credit right away you may have to just wait it out.  If an offer is over $7.00 then after 7 days you can manuualy request the credit.  If it is under $7.00 you cannot.  Offers disappear from your Offers page AFTER   you have been credited.
---------------------
Is this still accurate, because I have been credited for some, and they are all still on the offers page, which makes it hard to go through and choose offers to complete... I think also offers that you haven't recieved credit for, and aren't elidgable for and can't try them again, those should delete from the offers page too so you don't accidentally violate the TOS Am I making sense?

Yes No. 5 is still accurate.  Regarding the ones that you say you have been credited for already and are still there, please make sure they are not different offers and just look like the ones you have already done.  If they truly are the same then you need to open a support ticket to make admin aware that this is happeningl.  They should disappear after crediting.

Regarding the offers that have not credited.....I have asked admin if there was a way to remove them and unfortunately there is not.  The best thing to do after you do an offer is to "Mark" it.  There is a "Mark" tab over each offer.  That should help you from doing offers over again.
