Will someone please explain to me how these things work?

I went to Sunshine Rewards. I was completely lost. What are the other things you all are doing to make money. Thanks for any info.

Sunshine rewards is THE best one to start out with, as far as I am concerned. Watch out tho, it's easy to get spoiled by Tricia!

It's really simple once you know what you get started.

First, set up a gmail account. Just go to WWW.GMAIL.Com and open up an email account. It's adviseable to make a somewhat longer name because with gmail you can use periods within your email name for various offers when needed. So let's say you set you an account...Ilove mickey@mail.com. this one single account can become different when filling out offers....
I.lovemickey@mail.com
Ilove.mickey@mail.com
Ilo.vemi.ckey@mail.com
yet all the mail will be delivered to the original Ilove mickey@mail.com. Cool huh?

Second, set your cookies. in an open browser go TOOLs>INTERNET OPTION>Privacy> and move the slider bar down to "accept all cookies"

Third, it would be best to get a good cleaner to delete cookies and things left by the offers. WWW.CCLEANER.COM is a good one and FREE

Fourth, Some of use a different phone number. TO get a real phone number to use on offers(surveys) go to www.privatephone.com(I think this is the name of it) It too is free.

Fifth, Some use roboform to help fill out the offers without wearing our poor finger out. It is an autofill program and free. WWW.ROBOFORM.COM

Sixth, on Sunshine rewards, to do offers it is best to start out with the smaller free surveys until you understand how the programs work. Go to "OFFERS/CONTEST" click it and then "ALL Offers" and click on an offer you want to do. Do that offer until you see "thank you for registering or until it requires you to buy/participate in different levels to get a prize. It can be 5-10-20 later.(great reason for having roboform)

After you complete the offer, check your email to confirm you were at the site. Most will send you an email-a few don't . click on the link seeking the confirmation, go back to SR and mark that offer "move to pending".

When cleaning cookies- some ppl do it after each offer-some don't. To clear cookies with in the browser(if you don't have CCLEANER) go to Tools>internet options>delete cookies. If you have CCleaner, use that.

I have two programs- Sunshine Rewards and Cash Duck.

The best by far is Sunshine rewards because of Tricia, Cindy, and Kevins dedication to their members. They do go that extra mile in every aspect of a site and freindship. Tricia offer contests, has an AWESOME forum, fantastic shopping with neat paybacks, AND just recently added GAMES incase we get bored(like that is every going to happen on SR) The forum is simply wonderful on information, tips, and friends.

Hope this helps...if not, pm me...I will try to answer any question you might have

Ohh yea, I forgot, I also do Pinecone research...it's hard to get signed up(you have to find one of their banners but if you do it is a great site. $5 a survey, sometimes free products to try, and help s add to the disney funds.

$2.00 a survey for us newer members... they keep driving the price down

I suggest Mypoints because even just doing click on emails, my DH makes about 50$ a year there. Takes a couple seconds a day.

Careful using roboform. Tricia mentioned in the SR forums that some advertisers don't like them and won't give you credit for the offer if you use them.

I cannot imagine why advertisers would have a problem with these if the info is all accurate and honest. I use autofill on the google toolbar. I guess that is the same as roboform. Don't you think?

 

[rflorek]

A lot of survey companies - and contest entry forms - will invalidate your form if you use an autofill program.

 

[M 'n C]

Its because they don't think you are actually interested in the offer if you don't take the time to fill in the info.

 

[lilstint]

Hmmmm...that's interesting. All my autofill does is fill in my name, address and phone #. I use it all the time when shopping online also. Does roboform fill in the yes or no's? It would make sense to me that the advertisers would object if it did that.

I'm not really sure what these programs do or why there is a big objection to them but apparently they can cause issues.
