has anyone made anything from these sites? It seems like it would take years just to get ten bucks.
Let's take Fusion cash for example. I would say no, they are not. If spend even an average of 15 minutes a day to make $25 in a month. That would be 450 minutes or 7.5 hours (15 minutes x 30 days) or $3.33 an hour. With many surveys lasting far more than 15 minutes, it is unlikely you would ever make minimum wage. The time vs reward isn't worth doing by yourself.
However, it is free money, you could be doing a lot worse things on the internet than making money. If you taught 3 referrals a month to cash out. You would make $9 each month ($1 for e-mail for verification, $2 for completed first offer) plus $5 for each referral that cashes out. The first month you would have $24 ($9 + $15) plus your $25.00 for a total of $49.00. The second month you would have the $9 (3 new referrals) + $30 (6 referrals cashing out) + your $25.00 would be $64.00 and so on to the third month, etc. (Sorry ran out of fingers and toes). If you follow this out to a year on the 12 month you would have $9 + your $25.00 + $180 or a total of $214 in one month. You get the $5.00 every time someone cashes out for life.
As a side note getting referrals and having them cash out is easier said than done. It is doable, but it does take work,
As far as cashing out every month, it is easier.
You can make 27 cents daily guaranteed by:
1. Do the daily e-mail 2 cents
2. Do the daily Paid-to-click 15 cents
3. Make 2 forum posts 10 cents @ $3.00 @ month
That leaves 56 cents a day. You can make this amount by doing offers, taking surveys, doing the Tuesday / Wednesday - Saturday / Sunday promotions (twice a week) watch videos and shop online. So all in all not a bad gig. It does take time but beats making no money at all and it could be done for free or almost free.
So in conclusion, Is it worth it?: Probably not, but it does beat making no money at all.
