Is ShopAtHome.com a Scam? – [Honest Review]

Welcome to my review of ShopAtHome.com.

If you are interested in making a little extra money with this site but are hesitant to join and a bit suspicious of it all then you are going to want to read this over first. Wondering is this place legit or is ShopAtHome.com a scam? I will answer these questions and tell you all the important things you need to know beforehand.

ShopAtHome.com Review

ShopAtHome.com is mainly a cashback site where you can earn cash back on purchases you make. They get paid commissions to refer customers to stores and they give people like you and I some of those commissions as incentive to shop through them in the first place.

They are also offering paid surveys now. This means you can also earn money by completing simple short surveys online, which is popular way to conduct market research. They get paid by big companies to do research on the market and once again they pay people like you and I an amount of that money as incentive to complete the surveys in the first place.

How To Earn Cashback

Earning cashback is pretty easy. ShopAtHome.com is partnered with a bunch of big stores all over including Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. The first thing you will have to do is search for the store that you want to shop at. Once you find a store you are interested in you will see a “shop now” button and you will have to click on that.

You will then be directed to the online store to shop as you normally would. After getting to the store there is no need to go back to ShopAtHome.com or anything. Just complete your purchase as you normally would and you will be credited.

How much can you earn back?

This depends on the actual store, but with most of the big retailers, like those mentioned above, you are looking to earn 1-4% cashback.

There are also local deals where you can earn higher amounts of cashback. These will include all sorts of small restaurants and stores. There aren’t much here though.

How To Earn With Surveys

Paid surveys are a newer feature on this site. It used to be only for cashback shopping but now you can complete short paid surveys and earn money.

These surveys are generally 5-25 minutes long and can be on just about anything.

How much can you make with the surveys?

The surveys offered here are nothing out of the ordinary. They are your typical surveys that you will find on Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, etc. You can usually expect to earn anywhere from $0.25 to $2 with these.

Getting Paid

When you earn money it goes into your account at ShopAtHome for safekeeping. Once your balance reaches the minimum cash out amount of $20 you are able to claim your money.

You can choose to receive it by check in the mail, Paypal, or by Amazon gift card.

Complaints

Overall this is a good site and there aren’t many complaints. However, here are a few that you should know…

Not Getting Credit for Purchase

One complaint you will find is from users not getting credited for purchases. This has to do with the tracking code used to track your purchase online. Sometimes things don’t work how they are supposed to and this means your purchase doesn’t get tracked.

If this happens, which hopefully won’t, you can get in contact with support to get credit for the purchase.

Disqualified From Survey

You won’t qualify for every survey that you attempt. There is a pre-screening process at the beginning that you might spend a couple of minutes on only to get disqualified. This is a pain but you will find this problem at any paid survey site.

Conclusion on ShopAtHome.com – Worth Your Time?

It depends on what you are looking for as to whether or not this place is worth your time. They are legitimate and you can earn easy money, but it really isn’t going to be much. But then again, when it comes to the cashback shopping you are going to shop regardless, so why not get some money back right?

However, I would probably say that ExtraBux is a better site for cashback shopping. They make things easier than ShopAtHome.com. The advantage that ShopAtHome.com has is that they also offer surveys though. So it just depends on what you are looking for.

Also, you might want to look into iBotta. This is my favorite in-store cashback app. It is really nice for earning money back on grocery shopping and things like that.

Cryptocurrency

Is ETHConnect a Scam? – [Honest Review]

Welcome to my review of ETHConnect.

If you are thinking about investing in this cryptocurrency but are hesitant to actually go through with it then you are in the right place. There are about a thousand scams out there piggybacking off of the success of the cryptocurrency industry and you never can be too careful when it comes to things like this. In this review I’ll be going over a few important things that everyone should know about this place beforehand. So if you are wondering if EthConnect is a scam then you are definitely going to want to read this over.

EthConnect Review

EthConnect is an opportunity that is very similar to Bitconnect and OneCoin. It is a platform that allows for P2P (person to person) transactions of Etherium Tokens, run off of Etherium blockchain.

With EthConnect you can stack, mine, trade, or lend these tokens.

They also have a referral program where you can earn money from people’s investments who you refer into this platform.

Whats The Point of This Place?

The whole point of people investing in this place is to make money. And for people to make money off of it then the price of each token has to increase. And for this to increase EthConnect has to expand and get more people buying tokens. So pretty much it will succeed if it is any good and will fail if it is not.

I really don’t see this place being any good. It provides a safe platform for transactions but I just don’t see this being enough for it to really grow in popularity. It uses Etherium blockchain. This has obviously already been done. It doesn’t really bring anything new to the table.

One Problem I Have

One problem that I have with this place that I think you should be aware of is that they really don’t tell you much about who all is behind this. In fact, they virtually tell you nothing. You don’t know anything about the creators of this platform, who they are, any credibility that they have…. nothing.

This doesn’t mean its a scam or anything but it definitely makes me a bit more suspicious and less likely to put my trust into this place.

What This Place Could Be.. BEWARE…

Have you thought maybe that this could be a ponzi scheme? Well if you have this very well could be the case. The reason for this is because they are a platform that relies on outside investors coming in and they aren’t all that transparent, as I just went over.

I have seen many other places similar to this with mlm referral programs like this that have turned out to be scams.

Their referral program goes 5 levels deep. This means that you can make money on the people you personally recruit in (level 1), the people that they recruit in (level 2), the people that level 2 recruits in (level 3), and so on…

The money that you will be able to make from these new members comes from the investments that they make.

And another reason why I think this very well might be a ponzi scheme is because when you refer new investors in you only make money from their investments. You don’t make any money with any other revenue stream this platform has. I think the reason for this is because investment is the main revenue stream.

My guess is that this is just a big ponzi where members make money getting other people to join and invest. And if it is this then you should definitely avoid it because when it comes to Ponzi’s most people will lose money by far. This isn’t a far fetched guess by any means. I have reviewed plenty of crypto ponzi’s including Xtreme Coin & Liberty Bitcoin System.

What Others With Experience Are Saying

I think its also smart for me to give you a glimpse of what other people are saying that have experience with cryptocurrency investment. And there is a forum called bitcointalk.org where people can talk about anything and everything having to do with cryptocurrency.

As you can see below one post was made on this forum called “ETHConnect is a scam” and literally everyone that commented on this post agrees with it being a scam.

Here is a screenshot of a couple of the many comments on it…

Conclusion on ETHConnect – Scam?

I really have no concrete proof that this place is a scam or not because I have not actually invested in it, nor do I have enough information on it. And I will never have enough proof because I’m sure as heck not ever going to invest in it and this place is very secretive and will likely never provide much information to the public. However… based on the many other similar scams I am going to assume that this is a scam until it proves me wrong.

But ultimately it is up to you whether or not you want to invest in it. If you do invest I would like to here back from you on how it goes. Keep me updated.

When it comes to making money online there are a lot more scams out there than legit opportunities that I can recommend. However…. gun to my head, what is the best program out there? This is it. I have been a member since 2015 and it took me from nothing at all to making a living online.

MLM's

Cerule, Scam or Good Business Opportunity? – [Honest Review]

Welcome to my review of Cerule.

If you are looking to make some money with Cerule but hesitant to join then you are in the right place. Maybe you are wondering if this placed is legit or will Cerule scam you? Well I took the liberty of reviewing this place because I believe there are a few very important things that everyone should know beforehand…. things that aren’t typically discussed when it comes to the opportunity here.

Cerule Review

Cerule is a health & wellness company that sells some pretty interesting products.

As I write this they have 3 products: StemEnhance, Plasma Flo, and CyActive. StemEnhance is a supplement that is said to help your body’s process of stem-cell renewal and its main ingredient is an extract from the blue-green algae called Spirulina. Then there is PlasmaFlo which also has some potent natural source extracts that is said to help bloodflow and capillary health. Lastly there is CyActive which contains phycocyanin extract from Spirulina with the purpose of promoting inflammation.

There is a lot of scientific research to back up the benefits that the ingredients in these products have, so they should be effective. However, at around $80 a bottle this is a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

But anyway… the purpose of this review is to look at the business opportunity here, not the products. This business is what you call a mlm (multi-level marketing) opportunity. Anyone can join in as a member and make money, which I will be going over now…

How You Make Money

This is your pretty typical mlm as far as I see it. The PayPlan is full of starter packs, fast start bonuses, matching bonuses, a 7 level unilevel commission structure, a bonus pool, and even a car bonus incentive.

The first and fastest way you will be able to earn money is through their Fast Start Bonuses. These are bonuses paid when you recruit people in and get them to purchase Starter Packs. When someone joins the business they must purchase these starter packs which are filled with business training material and products to sell, all of which are designed to help you get your own Cerule business up and running. When you get others to buy these you will earn money along with the person that recruited you in.

Earning commissions is what is going to be the big earner here. They have 7 level deep unilevel commissions structure which means you can earn money from the people you directly recruit in (level 1), the people that they recruit in (level 2), the people that level 2 recruits in (level 3), and so on.

But you can’t earn from all 7 levels beneath you right away. In order to do that you have to move up the ranks. And of course moving up the ranks is all about building a bigger downline, which means recruitment.

What I Like, What I Don’t Like

Honestly I like the products here, other than the price. I’ve always been a fan of spirulina and actually supplement it regularly.

But as far as the biz opp goes, it has some upsides and downsides.

What is nice about mlm’s like this is that there is a lot of room to advance in the company. There are many ranks and with each rank you will earn more and more money. This gives people hope and a reason to want to do better.

The problem with this is that with a pyramid-like commission structure, as this has, it makes it more difficult to make money when you are near the bottom. Much of the money that people on the bottom could be making gets taken away and paid to people near the top in the form of commissions. And of course there are always going to be many more people near the bottom struggling than at the top, which is why there are always such high turnover rates in businesses like this.

All mlm’s are like this to some degree. I just reviewed Sisel International & Life Force, they are the same deal.

Another problem I have with this place is that pretty much all of their focus is on recruitment rather than product sales to the general public. They are going down the wrong road with this… the pyramid scheme road. There was nothing on the official company website or in the PayPlan that talks about retail customer sales. Its entirely focused on recruitment. This is going to be a legal problem down the road.

Conclusion on Cerule – Should You Join?

The decision of joining or not is ultimately up to you. I don’t think I’d call this place a scam although I will say it leans very much towards the pyramid scheme side of things. But hey, if you like their products and think you have what it takes to recruit then go for it. Just know it won’t be easy. You will need to recruit constantly to make good money with a mlm like this. This is easier said than done and that is why most people fail in these businesses.

Something else that you might want to look into if you are looking for a work-from-home job is how I make money online. I make a living online and enjoy what I do. Here is the program that got me started and got me to where I currently am, which I am still a member of.

Paid Survey Sites

Can You Make Good Money Taking Surveys at Quest Mindshare? – [Honest Review]

Have you ever heard about sharing your opinion in exchange for cash? Well that is what Quest Mindshare claims to offer. The truth is that there are about 100 other sites out there that will also reward you for your opinions in the same way. So the question isn’t whether or not this place is legitimate… it is whether or not this place is any good compared to the others. You can take paid surveys at many different sites, but should you take surveys at Quest Mindshare?

If you are considering joining but are hesitant then I suggest reading over my review here. Some people like this place but its definitely not for everyone. In this review I’ll be going over a few important things to know that will help you make your own decision on this.

Quest Mindshare Surveys Review

Quest Mindshare (QM) is an online survey site (like PaidViewPoint, MyPoints, MySurvey, etc) that conducts market research for businesses all over. Businesses are looking to get to know their customer base better so that they can improve products/services so they pay Quest Mindshare to conduct surveys, which are given to normal people like you and I. And of course there is a paid incentive to participate.

There is not point system at this place which is nice to see. Many sites have confusing point systems where you first earn points and then have to redeem your points for real rewards. At QM you get paid in cash and don’t have to deal with this nonsense. Each survey pays cash that you can later cash out via Paypal or choose to put towards an Amazon gift card.

They claim to pay as much as $90 for music surveys…. but I’ll get more into this in a minute… its not as great as it may sound.

The Signup Process

Of course I think its a good idea to hold of on signing up until you read over the rest of this, but I’m just going to cover the process of signing up so you know what its like.

Its like any other surveys site pretty much. You start out by entering your email, name, etc. and then you are sent a confirmation email that you have to click. After that you will have to fill out your profile information. This will include demographic info like your marital status, education level, income level, etc.

Make sure to fill this all out accurately because it will be used to match you with surveys that are appropriate to you.

And after that is all complete you are ready to start taking surveys.

The Surveys

They tell you that the average survey time is 10 minutes long, but these can range anywhere from 5-30 minutes generally.

These surveys can be on must about anything. You might be giving your opinion on a product, on politics…. anything. You never really know what to expect.

One of the good thing about the surveys here at QM is that they pay pretty darn well compared to most other sites. I have seen 10 minutes surveys offer $5 payouts more than once.

And they also offer surveys, as they said, that pay as much as $90. These are different though. I received an invite to one of these before. It was 2 hours long and paid $40 and what you had to do was listen to a bunch of music clips and rate them. It was $20/hr for 2 hours just to sit and listen which isn’t bad, but these aren’t all that common.

Complaints

Not Qualifying

You won’t qualify for every survey you are offered. Before actually starting the survey you will have to take a short qualification survey and this will either screen you out of let you continue. Many people complain about getting screened out of most surveys, which I know can be frustrating.

Deducted Money

One thing that gets a lot of complaints is deductions. At QM they will actually deduct some of the payout if they feel you were dishonest. I don’t know how they determine this but many people have complained about it happening when it shouldn’t. On QM’s behalf I will say that this dishonestly on these sites is a major problem and its good that they are dealing with it.

Can’t Reach Cash Out Threshold

Some people complain about getting close to the minimum cash out threshold and then suddenly not receiving any surveys, which makes it hard to cash out. I have seen this complaint before but I don’t know how true it is.

Final Words & Is It Worth Your Time?

Quest Mindshare is a pretty good survey site. The best thing about this place is the potential pay that you can make. The music surveys are the big earners here. Unfortunately many of the seasoned long-time members here claim that the site is going downhill and offering less of these opportunities than before.

I would say sign up if you wish to but don’t count on those high paying surveys. This is best seen as an extra income opportunity because you likely won’t get all that many surveys to participate in, unlike bigger survey sites like Swagbucks.

If you are looking for a better opportunity to make money online on your own schedule then I highly suggest checking out this program. Not only can you make money on your own time with this but you can make a lot. I actually make a living online with it.

Paid Survey Sites

Tellwut, Scam or Good Opportunity to Make Extra Money Online? – [Honest Review]

Tellwut is a paid survey site that pays normal people like you and I for our opinion on all sorts of things. But the one major question that needs to be answered here is whether or not this place is actually worth your time? Or will Tellwut scam you? There are about 100 other similar sites out there, so is this one any good?

If you are wondering if you should sign up for Tellwut I will help you decide. I will be going over a few important things that you should know about this place to help you determine if its right for you.

Tellwut Surveys Review

Tellwut conducts market research, which is the point of the surveys. They want the market’s opinions on certain things and they will pay normal people to give it to them. You see companies, big and small, pay this place to gather market data for them so that they can improve products/services, and you get paid a small percentage of this to participate and give them some info.

On thing that makes Tellwut a little different from the bigger survey sites like Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, Global Test Market, etc, is that they seem to be more focused on providing market research for smaller businesses. They make it very easy for anyone to go to their site and be able to pay for them to conduct surveys. Most of the survey sites out there only work with large mult-billion dollar companies.

Sign Up Process

TellWut is free to join. When you sign up you will start by entering an email, username and password. Then you will get an email that will have a link you will have to click in order to verify your account.

After clicking that you will be redirected to TellWut to complete the signup process. The rest is pretty simple Basically you are just filling out your profile with demographic information. This will include things like your income level, your education level, marital status, etc.

Be sure to fill this out accurately because they will use it to match you up with surveys you are a good fit for. If you won’t you will end up getting disqualified from surveys more often.

The Surveys

One thing I noticed from reading over many user reviews about this site is that some people enjoy the surveys…. they think they are “fun”. This is something I don’t see much and I have looked into and review tons of paid survey sites before. I’m guessing this is because they are more open to any business making surveys for them to conduct.

The surveys can be on anything pretty much and you can expect them to take anywhere from 10 – 25 minutes. You can also expect to earn 50 – 300 points per survey. Usually the longer survey are the ones that pay more points. And I know you are wondering how much a point is worth… well, I’ll go over this next.

Rewards

The rewards available for redemption are gift cards. You can get gift cards for Amazon, Subway, Walmart, and some other places.

They will range in value a bit but I’ll use the Amazon gift card as an example because it is the most popular. You will need 4,000 points to redeem a $10 Amazon gift card. So if you do the math that means that 100 points is equal to $0.25.

Better Survey Sites Available?

I would say that TellWut pays a bit on the low side. However, when it comes to the paid survey industry you really cannot expect much at all. Even the very popular sites like this, Swagbucks & Inbox Dollars for example, pay very low.

The pay is not the main issue here because it won’t really make much of a difference no matter where you go. However, I probably would recommend Swagbucks over this site just because they offer more ways to earn money. At TellWut you only get paid for surveys. At Swagbucks you can get paid for surveys, games, searching the web, and others. I’ve always been a fan of Swagbucks and them along with PaidViewPoint are my top rated survey sites.

Conclusion on Tellwut – Any Good?

Well… Tellwut is definitely legitimate and not a scam….. but are they any good? I would say so. Although I would recommend others above this site, as mentioned above, they aren’t too far behind really. So its not like I’m not telling you to sign up. That is your own decision to make.

One thing that is important to realize though for Tellwut and any other paid survey site out there is that they are not good for making money… real money that is. These places are best looked at as opportunities to make a little extra money in your spare time, nothing more.

If you are looking to make more than a little money online, which you also can do in your spare time, then I suggest you check out this program. I have been a member since 2015 and actually make a living with it.

Paid Survey Sites

Wondering if Survey Club is a Scam? – Then You Will Want to Read This

Are you looking to make some extra money taking paid surveys online and wondering if Survey Club is a scam? If so then you are right where you need to be because I’m going to be reviewing this site.

In this review I’ll be going over all that is important to know before you get started or not. I’ll be going over how it works, how much money you can make realistically, some complaints and more.

Survey Club Review

Survey Club (at surveyclub.com) is a paid survey site that also acts as a survey site directory. What I mean by this is that they both host surveys on the site and they also refer you to a bunch of other sites to take surveys as well.

While you can make money taking surveys online here, overall this place is nothing special by any means. But then again its nothing bad either when it comes to paid survey sites.

How Things Work

After you sign up you will have to fill out some profile information. This will include things like income, education level, household size, etc. This demographic info is used to match you up with appropriate surveys.

The next step of the process after filling out your profile information is to sign up for other survey sites if you want to. You will see a page like this with a bunch of survey sites they are trying to get you to sign up for…

I have reviewed some of these sites in the past such as MySurvey if you are interested in reading it.

But anyway, they tell you that you should sign up for at least 3 but you don’t have to.

After that you will be able to view the available surveys that they have for you. Here is what you can expect to see…

There will be surveys, or studies, that Survey Club is providing you with and then there will be listed studies that are just trying to get you to sign up for other survey site again….

The studies that Survey Club brings to you are pretty common and nothing special. For example the one consumer opinion survey I clicked on was provided by Peanut Labs, which is a market research company that pretty much evey survey site hosts surveys from.

How Much Money Will You Make?

Not much. There is nothing about this site that makes them better than other paid survey sites. And as you may or may not know, the norm for sites like this are to pay very little.

The other paid survey sites that they refer you to are your typical ones that all pay right around what the industry standard is and the surveys that they host on their site are typical as well.

I would say that you can generally expect to make between $0.50 and $3.00 per survey and these will normally range between 5 and 25 minutes in length.

So you really won’t make much. And another problem is that you will run out of surveys. So if you want to have plenty of surveys to take then you will have to sign up to a bunch of different survey sites.

Complaints

Getting Screened Out

Getting screened out of surveys is inevitable with any survey site. This is when they kick you out because you answered a question in a way that they feel has disqualified you from taking the survey.

Too Much Promotion

This is a complaint of my own. I just don’t care for sites that push you to join a bunch of other sites too much. What they are doing is making money off of getting you to join these other sites. There is nothing wrong with making money off of referrals but I just feel they push members too much.

Spam Emails

I have heard of people joining and then getting their inbox filled with promotions and spam. I have heard things like this before and would suggest using an email account you don’t really care about.

Conclusion on Survey Club – Scam?

Survey is a decent paid survey site but there are a lot out there that are better in my opinion. Its not a scam its just not the best. If you are interested I would recommend looking at Swagbucks and PaidViewPoint, they are 2 of my favorites. But even with these sites you will not make much. That is just the reality of it. If you are looking to make extra pocket change in your spare time then go for it but if you are looking for more than that then these places aren’t going to cut it.

"Get Rich Quick", Easy Money Scams

Instant Success System, Scam or Legit Way to Make Money Online? – [Must Read Review]

Welcome to my review of Instant Success System.

I came across this program recently and knew I had to take a deeper look into it. And after taking a deeper look into it I knew I had to write a review on it to help save others from its evil ways. If you are wondering if Instant Success System is a scam then you are definitely going to want to read this. It is not what it claims to be and if you do buy into it based on the nonsense they tell you then you will be seriously disappointed.

Instant Success System Review

Instant Success System has all the makings of a scam. They tell you everything that you want to hear….. that is that this is an automated system that does all the work for you and will make you rich. In the video I watched they even made this silly claim that you will make $500 just for watching the video. The video was 500 seconds long and the spokesman said you will earn $1 for each second you watch, which is way to get you to stay there and not click away.

Sounds like a scam right? Ya that’s because it is and I will show you why.

Oh and by the way, those news broadcast clips they showed in the sales video are real but they have nothing to do with this program at all.

How It Works

There actually is no program or system called Instant Success System. The Instant Success System website is nothing more than a funnel to get people to buy into another program called Aspire, which is a product of Digital Altitude.

I am very familiar with Aspire and what it is. It is an online marketing training program that provides training and tools to be able to market and make money online. The actual program here is not a scam but it is nothing like they tell you it is.

What You Need to Know

Aspire is mostly geared to get members to promote Aspire to others and make money this way. While it is possible to apply what you learn and what you are given here to any online business, they push you in the training to sell Aspire. There are also done-for-you sales funnels that they give you which are designed specifically to promote Aspire.

Don’t get me wrong…. they do provide a lot of good quality training and tools… I’m not saying this program doesn’t have value or anything like that.

The Instant Income System funnel website was created by an affiliate of Aspire who is promoting it and making money doing so. Some other similar sites to be aware of include Profit Countdown and The Freedom Secret.

How Much Can You Make?

You can make a lot of money promoting Aspire and Digital Altitude’s other products if you are good. In the sales video for Instant Success System they tell you that you can make commissions of up to $5,000. Well you can actually make more than that.

There are many products inside Digital Altitude and you an actually make commissions of over $10k. The catch here is that you have to buy the products before you can make money selling them. And this is one of the main reasons that this opportunity is not for most people…. because you have to have a lot of money to spend if you really want to have the chance at making good money.

Another Problem

Another problem I have with this is that it is a mlm, or multi-level marketing opportunity. This is legal and all but in a pyramid-like mlm opportunity money is siphoned away from those at the bottom and given to those above them in the form of commissions.

This gives those at the top the ability to make more money but takes away from those at the bottom, which is where there will always be many more people.

Some people love mlm’s because of the potential to make a lot when you climb to the top but I’m not a fan personally.

Conclusion on Instant Success System – Scam?

I definitely consider Instant Success System to be a scam because it totally misleads you on what is really going on here and tells you many lies. However, the real program being promoted, Aspire, is not a scam. But its also not a good idea for anyone to just go out and join.

Aspire simply is not affordable for many of those out there looking to make money online. It gets very pricey and this is one of the main reasons I do not recommend it.

When it comes to making money online there are a lot more scams and programs out there that are wastes of time than legit good opportunities that I can recommend. However if someone was holding a gun to my head and asked: what is the best program out there? This is it. I have been a member since 2015 and it took me from nothing at all to making a living online.

Is DailyBreak a Scam or a Good Way to Earn? – [Honest Review]

DailyBreak (at dailybreak.com) claims to reward you for watching stupid videos, reading about celebrity gossip, playing silly games, and other things that you wouldn’t think you would be able to earn from. But is this place really legitimate? I mean after all, it does sound a bit fishy to me? Is DailyBreak a scam possibly that is just going to be a waste of your time?

I came across this site the other day and it caught my interest right away. I knew I had to look into it more and write this review on it to make sure people know what they are getting themselves into.

DailyBreak Review

Believe it or not, DailyBreak is actually a legitimate site and you really can earn from taking “breaks”. This place has been around for quite a while and although there are a fair number of complaints about them they are legit.

They don’t explain how they are able to pay you to read, play games, and watch videos, but my guess is that they are providing advertising for the authors of these articles and creators of the games. They are probably getting paid by these people to get normal people like you and I to see their content. And as an incentive to get people like you and I to participate in this all they offer points, which can later be redeemed for gift cards and other rewards.

Here is a short 1 minute video that explains a bit about how this place works…

(I do not own this video and it is for educational purposes only)

I have never come across a rewards site quite like this one but some other sites that you might like, which are somewhat similar, include Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, and Spare5.

How It Works

The first thing that you have to do is sign up of course, which is free to do. After that you will be able to take “breaks” and earn points.

There are different categories of these breaks. There is news, entertainment, lifestyle, and family. In each of these categories you will find short articles, trivia games and things like this. Just to give you an example here are some of the breaks from the news section…

All you have to do is complete a break to earn points, simple as that.

The amount of points you will earn per break depends on your level. When you start out you can expect to earn around 3-5 points per break, but as you move up in level you will be able to earn more and even earn bonus points. Moving up in level comes from things like simply being active, leaving comments, getting answers right on quizzes, etc.

The amount of breaks you can participate in will also depend on your level. When you start out you will be limited to 10 breaks per day, which really limits your potential earnings. But as you move up you can increase this amount.

The Rewards

You can redeem your points for gift cards, magazine subscriptions and sweepstakes.

There are many popular gift cards available, such as Amazon for example, so there is really no reason to complain here. And when it comes to sweepstakes you can enter to win a bunch of stuff. Things like computers, TV’s, iPads, $500 gift cards, and more can potentially be won here.

Their rewards are broken down into tiers. There is the Lunch Breaker tier from 500 – 10,000 points, the Weekend Breaker tier from 13,000 – 30,000 points, and the Spring Breaker tier from 45,000 points on. You can see what types of prizes are on each tier below…

The Downside

The downside is that a point isn’t worth much at all. According to seasoned members of DailyBreak, the amount of points needed to redeem for gift cards has went up a lot.

They seem to change the point value every so often but right now it takes 10,000 points for a $5 Amazon gift card. So when you start out and you are only earning around 5 points per “break” then you can imagine how long it will take to be able to actually redeem your points for something of value.

Conclusion on DailyBreak – Worth Your Time?

It all depends on what you are looking for. This definitely doesn’t pay much at all for the time you put in, but then again… maybe you would be doing this sort of stuff regardless. If you are looking for a brainless way to earn some extra pocket change then this is a potentially good choice, but if you are looking for a way to earn anything significant for the time you put in then this is definitely not for you.

Something else that you might be interested in that I would suggest taking a look at is this program. I have been a member since 2015 and make a living online with it online. What is nice about it is that I can work whenever I want, which is what many people like about DailyBreak.

Legit Money Making Opportunities

Maritz Mystery Shopping, Scam or Legit? – My Review

Wondering will Maritz Mystery Shopping scam you? Is it a good way to make a little extra income? Is this place worth your time? Well lucky for you I will be answering your questions and going over a few things that you should know about this place before you decide to go through with it.

The reason I am writing this review in the first place is because I know there are a lot of people looking into this opportunity but are hesitant to join because they have heard bad stories about it. And I’m guessing you are probably one of these people that are a little suspicious of it all judging from how you are reading my review right now.

Maritz Mystery Shopping Review

The company behind this mystery shopping job is MaritzCX. They are pretty reputable and have been around for quite some time. They claim to be one of the top 5 research companies out there but I don’t know what they base this claim on. But anyway, this company is legit and so is the job.

The mystery shopping job’s purpose is for people to evaluate the quality of service that a given company displays. Companies hire MaritzCX to do this and they do so by hiring people to pose as customers and go into stores, restaurants, etc undercover.

What The Job Is Like

The job can vary a lot based on the assignment. Maritz has many different clients and they make their own assignments so it depends on the client ultimately.

However a typical example would be to go into a store to buy something. Maybe you will be required to ask a certain question and see how they respond. Maybe you just go in an shop as a regular shopper. Maybe you are required to pay with some new app they came out with…… there are many possibilities.

But basically you will go into stores, restaurants, dealerships, etc and act as a customer doing certain pre-listed tasks, which are simple. You won’t be required to do anything crazy or difficult, just normal customer things. Its simple really.

After the assignment you will have to write up a review of everything the company wants to know and submit it.

The Application Process

Luckily from everything I have heard it seems to be pretty simple to get hired here.

First you will have to submit your shopper profile. This will require you to input some personal info, like name, address, SSN, and things like education level, income level etc. Some clients require demographic information like this because they are looking for certain types of mystery shoppers to evaluate their businesses.

After submitting the profile you have to wait for it to be accepted.

Next you will get instructions on what to do. This will include completing an Independent Contractor Agreement (because you will be considered an independent contractor), filling out a W9, and signing them both online.

After this is all complete you will be an official mystery shopper and will be able to see all the available mystery shopping jobs locally.

Complaints

Hard to Get Started

When you just start out it will be more difficult to get things going. They reward shoppers that have completed assignments in a timely manner and met all requirements. You will have to gain their trust first. There isn’t much incentive offered when you first start out.

Long Drives

Some complaints I have come across are from people saying that they had to drive far distances for their mystery shopping assignment, some claiming 40 minutes + of drive time. I’m talking about this here because it should be known that some assignments can be quite a trip, however I don’t see the need to complain about this. After all, you don’t have to accept every job out there.

Not Getting Paid

One complaint that is worth mentioning comes from people that have not gotten paid for assignments they have completed. Apparently if the company you are reviewing does not like the work you submitted they can choose to not accept it, which means you don’t get paid.

I have read reviews from some people that claim this has happened to them without any explanation as to why.

Poor Communication

Having difficulty communicating with the people that are responsible with your mystery shopping assignment can be a hassle. This is a complaint I came across more than once and I was expecting to see this based on other mystery shopping companies I have looked into in the past.

Who This Opportunity Is Best Suited For

Maritz Mystery Shopping is best suited for people that are looking for supplemental income. This is not a job that you should expect to be able to rely on. The amount you will be able to make largely depends on the clients in your area, but don’t expect to make much more than minimum wage with the time you spend working as a shopper along with the time writing the review. Another reason you shouldn’t rely on it is because there just isn’t enough opportunity. Its not like you can expect to just have back to back mystery shopping jobs lined up all day long.

Maritz Mystery Shopping can be a fun and legitimate way to earn some extra money. If you think you would like it then go for it. While there are scam complaints out there this place is in no way a scam.

Something else that you might be interested in that I would suggest taking a look at is this program. I make a living online with it and what is nice about it is that I can work whenever I want.

Is TheFreedomSecret.Net a Scam? – My Review

There is this program being promoted on TheFreedomSecret.Net that is really hyped up and basically tells you that it can be your way to financial freedom. But is this really true and can you really trust this program that is being pushed on you here? Or is this just another scam like the many that plague the online business world?

If you are suspicious of The Freedom Secret then you are in the right place. I am familiar with the program being promoted here and I will say that there are definitely a few things that you will need to know beforehand….. things that they don’t tell you.

The Freedom Secret Review

The sales video that is on thefreedomsecret.net is one that is hard to believe. In it you hear people talking about all the thousands of dollars they have made in one day, there are sports cars and mansions flashed on the screen, and of course there is talk about how easy this system is to make money with. All of these components seem to be taken directly out of the Scam 101 Playbook. On top of this they also have the countdown timer and the limited positions banner, both of which are fake and just to try to get you to buy into this faster.

The spokesperson in the video tells you that he is going to be giving you the exact system he uses to make millions per month. Sounds like a scam but he makes sure to reassure you that it isn’t by telling you it is risk free guaranteed….lol, which we know isn’t going to be true.

The truth is that you can make money with the system here but it sure as heck isn’t risk free. I am very familiar with it and I’ll be going over what is important to know.

The Real Program Here

There is no program called The Freedom Secret or anything like that. The real program being promoted here at TheFreedomSecret.Net is called Aspire. If you click to buy it for $37 you will be taken to this order page where you can see it is Aspire…

Aspire is a digital marketing program that was created by a company called Digital Altitude. The reason it is being promoted here is because the owner of TheFreedomSecret.Net, or the person that created it, is an affiliate for Aspire. He/she gets paid when people sign up through the website and that is why they are promoting it.

What You Get With This

Aspire provides you with online marketing training and tools to get started. The program is very professional and provides a lot of good information. My only complaint about it is that it pushes members to promote Aspire to other people rather than to make money online in their own desired field.

You will get pre-made sales funnels and things of this nature that are designed to get you to promote Aspire. So while it is possible to apply what you learn to any online business, there is a slight push to get you to promote Aspire, as the people behind TheFreedomSecret.Net are doing.

The Real Cost

$37 is just the beginning of things. This is the cheapest of their programs and this is not the end of it. In this business there are many upsells, some of which you will pretty much have to buy if you want any good chance of making money online.

The $37/mo membership is just to get your foot in the door. If you choose to get involved with Aspire you can expect to easily spend thousands of dollars.

So the whole “risk free” thing that they tell you is a bunch of BS. I don’t know how you can say that this is risk free by any means. This isn’t even close to it the way I see.

Conclusion on TheFreedomSecret.Net – Scam?

Ok, so TheFreedomSecret.Net is just a sales funnel that was created by affiliates of Aspire in order to make money by getting other people to join Aspire. And Aspire is an online business training program that teaches you online marketing and provides you with some necessary tools that you will need to be able to do so.

Aspire provides a lot of good things but overall there are only 2 main problems I have with it. 1) I don’t like how it pushes members to promote the system to others, and 2) I don’t like how there are many hidden upsells that you have no idea about when you buy in at just $37/mo. Oh… and another one is that it will not be nearly as easy to make money with as they lead you to believe.

If you are looking for a more legitimate and affordable program that the average Joe can realistically make money with then I suggest taking a look at this program.

I started with this program back in 2015 and am still a member to this day. Its also notable that I make a living online now and pretty much all of my success can be attributed to what this program has taught me.
