Making Money With Treasuretrooper

Treasuretrooper is a website that I came across in January 2008. It is what is commonly referred to as a GPT (Get Paid To) website. It's a great way to make money online and unlike so many other money making schemes you hear about, Treasuretrooper is legitimate, legal and very simple to use.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY USING TREASURETROOPER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are several different methods in which to make money using Treasuretrooper. The baisc categories are: Freebies, Trial Offers, Daily Survey, Treasure Hunt, Slot Machine and Contests.

Freebies:

In most cases, Freebies are on line surveys or questionaires that ask demographical questions; email address, name, number, address, nationality, etc. They are very simple to do and generally take about 2 - 3 minutes. In turn, an average payout to you for filling out this information is between $.50 and $1.00.

Trial Offers:

Trial Offers are exactly what they sound. You are actually paid to test out a product or service. In some cases, the Trial Offer is free and you are simply paid a certain amount to evaluate. In other cases you need to pay a small upfront processing fee or pay for at least one term of membership. In most cases a credit card is required.

Most people are hesitant and turned off by this idea. Admittedly, so was I. However, in 99% of the Trial Offers, what you are paid far exceeds what you pay. For example, two really great offers are Blockbuster and Lifelock. Both require that you pay for at least one month of membership which is about $9.00. In turn, you are paid $18.00 from Blockbuster and $17.50 from Lifelock. If you are unsatisfied or disinterested in the service, simply cancel before the monthly membership is over and you have no further obligations, but you still keep what you were compensated. Now multiply this concept to the hundred or so different trial offers available on Treasuretrooper, and you start to get the idea.

Daily Surveys:

Daily Surveys are surveys about various things ranging from TV preferences to shopping behaviors. Treasuretrooper offers 2 daily surveys that can be taken every 24 hours. The first survey pays you $.75 and the second pays you $1.00. They take anywhere from 10 mintues to 30 minutes to complete. They annoyed me at first, but eventually I got used to taking them. It does take a bit of discipline, but remember, the amounts do add up to a pretty hefty reward.

Treasure Hunt:

Free $100. Yep. The Treasuretrooper treasure hunt is a series of things you need to do in order to retrive "The Lost Statue". Upon completion, you are given $100. It does require patience as aquiring the different items needed to finish the hunt takes a bit of time. The good thing is that the items you need to aquire are done so by simply doing basic things on Treasuretrooper. I personally just finished it about 3 weeks ago. It was long, but WELL worth it.

Slot Machine:

This is a fun addition to the Treasuretrooper website. For each offer (Freebie or Trial) that you complete, you also receive gold coins. These coins can be used at the Treasuretrooper slot machine. You can win different things such as more gold coins, pearls (used to gain referrals), platinum coins (used at the trading hut to redeem for prizes), money straight to your account and relics. There are 4 relics and winning all 4 earns you a nice little bonus. What that bonus is I can't say since I have only 3 of the 4 relics so far.

Contests:

The Treasuretrooper forum has a variety of contests for it's members. These are fun ways to not only interact with other Treasuretrooper members, but also earn additional money. These contests range from simply posting to answering trivia questions to a monthly jackpot.
