I'm not an offers person, so if you want help there, just check out the Beginner's guide and the Tutorial video -- and various topics in the Forum.
But I am a faithful "Daily" person. If you done a few of the surveys in the Daily section, then you know where the Dailys are.
1. Do the $.15 daily click
2. Sign up for the daily paid e-mail (worth $.02). Once you're registered, the paid email will come to you in a day or two. If you don't see it, check your spam files.
3. Check daily tasks and check the Video tab for $.02 video ads. There are two today. They don't come up all the time and it's usually best to check on them early in the day since there seems to be a daily limit.
Also helps to have broadband to view videos. I tried it with dial-up and it just is too slow to load/play videos.
4 Do 30 worthwhile posts in the Forum each calendar month (You can do as many as you want each day, but pace yourself and make sure you add something useful, enjoyable, and/or funny to the "conversation".) You do need to request the bonus -- I usually wait until the 26th of the month and after I have 35 or more posts before I make the request.
5. Check out the Forum contests and promotions: Sat mini contests; Tues mini contest for two frequent favorites.
6. Daily surveys: there are several firms to select. Believe that you can do each of them once each day, but there must be at least 24 hours between the last time you completed a survey for a given firm and the time you try again.
Be sure to clear your cookies before you start the surveys and after you complete one. I frequently DQ on surveys, but you can keep trying until you do complete one or they run out.
When you've completed a survey, leave the congrads window open for at least 5-10 minutes or until you get confirmation that you've receive credit to your FC account
I cash out every 3-4 months; not a lot, but I'm happy with it and it doesn't take much effort.
