Tips and Tricks

Sign up for a separate email account to avoid spam.

When you are signing up for offers, almost every offer requires you put in your email address. Most likely, they are asking this for two reasons. First, so they can contact you about the product/service you just requested. Second, so they can sell your email address to other third parties. For this reason, I find it very useful to sign up for free email services such as Hotmail, GMX or Yahoo. I recommend you sign up for four or five email accounts.

Use a different email address for each group of offers you complete.

Offers on GPT sites are split into different groups, or families. One set of

freebies may be grouped as “Brand Survey Panel” and another may be “Big Buck Surveys”. There are many different groups, and it is very important that you do not use the same email multiple times for one group. For example, if you are doing “Brand Survey Panel: Win a free car!” and you use the email address gptsitesrock@hotmail.com, then you must use a different one if you complete another Brand Survey Panel survey, such as “Brand Survey Panel: Get a free computer”. If you use the same email address, then the offer will most likely not approve. You CAN use the email address you used for Brand Survey Panel on Big Buck Surveys since it is a different group, or family.

Clear Cookies between offers

Clear your computer's cookies (on line history) between simliar offers...I use CCleaner...it's a free program and easy to use!

Changing your IP address

Sometimes, you may notice that offers may stop approving...even though you rotate email addresses. Some companies will start to block your IP address if you've completed too many offers too soon. Basically, you won't get credited. If this ever happens...and it seems that offers just don't credit anymore...it may be a good idea to renew/change your IP address. This can be done several ways....to do so, please visit the following page where I recieved the info from. Thanks...and good luck!!!

Sick of phone calls associated with offers?

Get a free "number" at K7. "With K7, you can receive faxes and voice messages without having to be at the office. You can receive both faxes and voice messages the same way you receive your email.
