The difference between GPT and Survey sites

There are so many "Paid To" sites across the internet and for the past few years I have experimented with a variety of these, hundreds to be infact, and will be documenting the best of what I have and what I will be experiencing (I continue to sign up for new sites!) on my quest for financial freedom!

(PTR stands for Paid To Read, PTC stands for Paid To Click and GPT stands for Get Paid To)

I'm sure by now you can somewhat differenciate between Paid Survey, GPTsites since you are here at this blog, and you want to know more about them before signing up to these different sites.

Paid Survey Sites
These sites require you to sign-up, or give your e-mail address, and send survey invites directly to your e-mail in most cases. When you have a survey invitation, you can chosse whether to participate or not, depending on if the incentive is worthwhile to you. Surveys sites have different options of earning such as cash or points converted to cash, gift certificates, or sweepstakes. . When it comes to the survey-type sites (and anywhere, really), I find that honesty is the best policy. If you consistently answer survey questions with yourself in mind, you are more likely to qualify for more surveys in the long run. If you answer randomly all the time, the survey sites are going to have a hard time figuring out what demographic you fall into and will not be able to accurately pick surveys for you to take.

PTC and PTR Sites (Also known as GPT sites)
These sites require you to sign up as well except after you sign up for an account in a PTR or PTC website, they will send you e-mailed ads or/and you will be able to click on ads at their website. Either way you must click on links, in order to get paid. Usually those links lead you to pages that have timers of 10-30 seconds. Your account is credited once the timer expires.

GPT Sites
The term GPT includes the PTR and the PTC websites but mostly it is used to describe websites that pay you to sign up to free and/or paid websites, to try free products and/or buy products. GPT sites have what they call "offers". The purpose for these "offers" is to get you to submit your personal info such as email, address, or phone number so that companies can reach you for future advertisements. While this seems intimidating at first, mostly these companies will e-mail you from time to time. At the members area of the GPT websites you will find lists of stuff you can Get Paid to do.



Membership to these kinds of websites is FREE and it is very easy and fun for anyone to participate and make some money.
