Go to the Beginner's guide for basic information. (Support section of Forum – top of page)
I limit myself to the Dailys: Click on "Offers" at the top of the FC page and then click on "Dailys"
This section has several Daily surveys (you can COMPLETE one survey from each of the sites in any 24 hour period)
Be sure to clear your cookies and temps before you begin and after you complete the survey.
Being able to complete a survey depends on your demographics, so don't be surprised if you are disqualified (DQ'd) on several surveys before you are able to complete one.
When you get the congratulations page for a survey, keep that page open for 5-10 minutes - or until you receive confirmation that the survey has credited to your account. I usually have my account page open in another tab so I can view it and refresh periodically.
Then I do the daily $.15 click, and check for $.01 or .02 videos ads to watch. If you haven't signed up for the daily paid email, the box to do so is in this section. That will come to your mail box shortly after you sign up. If you don't see it in a day or two, check your spam files.
Also check the Contest and Promotions section of the Forums. The Forum Posting Bonus is worth $3/mo for posting at least 30 meaningful posts in the Forum (I try for 40+) in a calendar month and then requesting the bonus. There are also min-contests each week and special bonuses.
And, of course, there are regular offers. Check out the Offers section of the Forum for a sense of what works/doesn't work for others.
Good luck with your efforts!
