I’ve been writing about Get Paid to Websites ever since I’ve started Dosh Dosh, although I’ve stopped tracking the industry for some time, because I’ve developed a greater interest in internet marketing and the building of websites for profit.
New Get Paid To websites are frequently set up by entrepreneurs interested in making some money. While the barrier of entry is low, the GPT industry is already saturated and heavy on competition.
However, some of the early pioneers in the get paid to industry like Cashcrate and CashonTap are still around and their member base has grown considerably. Other less fortunate sites were not sustainable and shut down soon after their birth.
I thought it’ll be helpful if I revisit the topic of Get Paid to Websites, which is actually a proven method of making money online and one that is particularly useful for those who are unfamiliar with the process of building websites or selling online.
Introduction to Get Paid to Websites
Get-Paid-To websites can be considered the middlemen between advertisers and you, the end-user or consumer. Advertisers pay these companies to generate leads and attract potential customers onto their services.
These sites will pass a portion of what they earn to you when you patronize or visit the advertisers. This mostly entails performing specific actions such as:
- Visiting a website to complete a survey
- Reading Email advertisements
- Referring a friend to purchase a product
- Opening up a free user account on the website
- Purchasing a refundable trial product or subscription
- Giving an email address for a newsletter
After doing these offers, you’ll get paid for each of them that is approved. For example, an offer might state that you will earn $21 if you sign up for a 7 day free trial with an online dating website.
Be sure to cancel your 7 day free trial after the offer is approved by the Get Paid To website and you’ll essentially be getting $21 for free. When it comes to Get Paid to websites, you’ll stand to make a lot more money when you own a credit card.
Free offers are also available for those who prefer not to use any credit cards or sign up for any trial-based offers. These are low priced and usually involve $0.50 to $2 offers. They are less readily available, although this depends on the website.
Who Can Use Get Paid To Websites?
Get Paid To Websites have geographic restrictions that are based on their business locations. Most of them are only available for U.S residents, although there are some who cater for international users.
There aren’t many international offers in these websites and I can only conclude that users based in the U.S are the ones who will make the most money from Get Paid To websites.
However, one way to bypass this limitation is to concentrate your efforts on referring active U.S-based users and earning commissions from their completed offers.
Why Should I Use Get Paid to Websites?
Here’s the main benefit of using Get Paid to (GPT) Websites: You can make money even if you don’t have your own website or know any specific skills. You can do this online from home and what you really need is just willingness to spend time completing offers.
A credit card and a personal webpage for referrals would be ideal if you’re interested in making more money but they are not entirely necessary. A simple paper or online organizer/spreadsheet to record down offers down or payments due would be very helpful when you are actively using GPT sites.
Income generated from these get-paid-to websites can be substantial. According to the forum threads and blogs I’ve read over the past few months, you can make a minimum of $100 to $2,000+ a month. From what I know about get paid to websites, this amount of monthly income is possible and can be achieved with effort.
Are they Internet Scams?
There are always scams when it comes to making money online. Cheaters and unscrupulous thieves exist in the Get Paid to industry as well. Nonetheless, there are many Get Paid To websites which are legitimate and highly credible.
They are staffed by responsible business men and women, who will listen to your feedback and pay you on time. I would advise you to go with the more established GPT sites, primary because they have a history of paying their users. Like everything else, be wary of new websites and learn how to work within the GPT rules.
I would also highly recommend getting a throwaway email address and a free private phone number online to avoid sales calls or junk mail from over aggressive advertisers. Clearing your cookies often before and after you use these websites is also important as well.
Making Money with Get Paid to Websites
I would recommend sticking with a few get paid to websites instead of actively using all of them. The main reason is that use of many websites will inevitably lead to the completion of duplicate/similar offers, which may result in you not getting paid for the legitimate offers that you’ve completed so far.
Not to mention that tracking multiple websites and payments on a daily basis can be rather tiring or difficult, even though you may have all the time to do so. I do however recommend signing up for the websites and using their affiliate programs.
Get Paid to websites have lucrative affiliate programs which will give you truly recurring and passive income, once you have amassed a large number of active users who in turn recruit other users.
I receive a steady amount of monthly commissions from doing absolutely no work at all; without even logging into or using the Get Paid to websites. This is something anyone else can achieve as well.
Dosh Dosh’s List of 23 Get Paid to Websites
I recently spent some time doing research on the GPT industry and have made a list of some of the current and active websites, with some of them coming from this forum thread. These are sites which pay, according to the testimonials I’ve read.
I have not tried all of them personally, but have included links to reviews I’ve written on some of them. There are also no affiliate links on this page because I don’t use affiliate links for websites I have no personal experience with and hence, cannot fully endorse. This link policy may change as I gradually test and use each site.
Consider this a resource list instead. If you’re interested in using these Get Paid to websites to generate income, I recommend doing more research to ascertain each site’s credibility and value. Alternatively, another easy method would be to complete small offers on the sites to to gauge if they really pay on time.
If you are completely new to the Get Paid to industry and want to get started, I would suggest going with established websites like Cashcrate or CashonTap in order to get a feel of how GPT works. I can personally vouch for both of these websites as I have been paid by them many times over.

Get Paid to Websites on this List
Get Paid to Websites are created quite often and it will be difficult to include all of them on this list. The integrity and quality of the sites on this list is important to me; sites mentioned must prove that they have a track record of paying their users.
If you want to suggest legitimate get paid to websites which meet this criteria, please send me email at (awashmaster@gmail.com) instead of leaving it in the comments section. I will need to look at the site before I consider including it on the list here.
Some of these sites will be removed if they go bust or lose credibility so please also send me an email if you have proof that any of these sites are defrauding or not paying their users.
