CashCrate seems to be different, at least for users from the United States, Canada and the UK. Everyone may join but the availability of surveys and offers depends on your location. If you live in Germany or India for instance you see two surveys and two offers to join a service to receive some money from it.

If you join as a American you get to literally chose from hundreds of surveys and two guaranteed daily surveys that bring in $1.60 per day if you complete both each day.

This means that you can earn $584 per year from just taking the daily surveys which is about $49 extra cash per month in your pockets. Minimum payout is $10 which means that you do get paid monthly if you take just the daily surveys.

You do have two options to earn more money. The first is to take surveys that are offered by other companies which bring in between $0.40 to $1.50 in average with dozens of surveys available currently. I would estimate that you could at least make $50 by taking those surveys as well in the month.

This would raise the monthly income to nearly $100 for just taking a few surveys. Now imagine that your girlfriend, friends or relatives sign up for the service as well.

There is a second way to earn money and that is by signing up to various services. Some require just a signup and some personal data such as your email or mobile phone number to reward you with money while others offer free trial versions or purchases.

Those bring in some serious cash. Want some examples ?

• If you signup at eBay for free and make a bid you receive $8
• A free trial at Vonage brings in $45
• A free trial membership at Netflix brings in $13.50

I can’t calculate all the possible earnings but I would think that you could earn at least $100 from CashCrate every month and even more if you take your time and evaluate all options.

Last but not least some offers award points instead of cash. This means that you do get a certain amount of points after completing a survey or other offer and can use those points to buy items in the prize shop. 300 points can be traded into a $15 iTunes gift card for instance and 6000 points into a Xbox 360.

Some surveys and free trials bring in around 300 points which is another great opportunity to gain something for free.

CashCrate is free to join, there are no hidden fees, a minimum payout of $10 and a monthly payout. What are you waiting for ?

CashCrate is also interesting for webmasters because it offers a two-tiered referral structure. You earn 20% / 10% by referring users to the site and an additional $3 whenever someone makes his first $10.

Take a look at several checks that a user received while using CashCrate, the last check shows more than $480 !

CashCrate Tips

• Visit the CashCrate Forum for a wealth of information and new monthly competitions
• Create a new email address at a webmailer and use it exclusively for offers. This way your main email remains unknown.
• Get a new free phone number from a company like Private Phone and use this one exclusively on CashCrate.
• Get a Visa Gift or Prepaid Card and use it in those cases where you have to enter credit card information.
• The best offers are the free ones that you do for free (most of the time surveys), you can sort all offers to see those at the beginning
• Make sure you cancel the trial offers during the trial period or you will get charged afterwards.
• Cookies: Cookies, being the number one cause of offers not confirming, simply must be cleared in between each offer. Why? Because companies track you through cookies, and for more than one offer from the same company, you need to clear them so you can be tracked again correctly, and so your offer will confirm.
• Email Recycling: Again, companies with more than one offer on the list track you with your email address as well, and if they already have that email in their database, then your offer will not confirm. Simply create 10 or more email addresses from any email provider, (The ones listed above are recommended) and change them up among offers. The more email addresses you have, the less of a chance you’ll submit the same email to the same company twice.

Filling out Offers at CashCrate

• Offers with the following descriptions have easier requirements than you think!
• “Participate in the Survey”, Without Questionare (Usually 60 cent or less payout): These offers only require you to provide your information, (usually on the first or second page of the “Survey”) once it seems like the offer has taken you into an infinite loop of “Yes”, “No”, or “Skip” offer pages, then you can exit that window, and submit the offer, and it should confirm. Even though you only have to submit your information, I always do the first 5 pages of these types of offers to be on the safe side.
• “Participate in the Survey”, With Questionnare (Usually 65 cent or higher payout): These offers will ask you to fill out your information, and then require you to do a 3 to 5 minute Questionnare. You actually do have to complete this, but you only have to go until it says “Done!” or “Congratulations, you’ve been entered!”, even though there may still be questions below the “Done!” or Congratulations!..”.
• “Complete at least the first two pages”: Obviously, you only have to fill out the first two pages. Most offers will tell you things like “your almost done!” or “last page”, you do NOT have to keep going after you complete the first two pages.
• “Fill Out the Form”: These offers are usually from $0.75 to $2.00, and you actually have to fill out the pages, and like the Questionare offers, you only have to go until it says “Done!” or “Congratulations, you’ve been entered!” even though there may still be questions below.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: On all of the free offers above, in the forms, questionares, and providing information, you only have to respond to the sections that have an ASTERISK ” * ” next to them, all other questions/sections are optional and do not need to be filled out.

We all know that eBay has an affiliate program that rewards you if you drive traffic to their site that either signs up with eBay or purchases articles. The more articles they buy the higher your provision. Shoemoney decided to create a community of webmasters that would all use one “connection” to eBay to get the highest possible payouts. This means that all sales from all webmasters count towards the payout rate. Take a look at the examples below to see what I mean.

If you work on your own and get 5 users to sign up for eBay and use the system actively you earn $60. If you would use Auction Ads you could earn up to $22 per sign up because the sign ups from all other webmasters that use Auction Ads may get everyone in a tier level that has higher payouts.

The same effect holds true if referred users buy items on eBay. If your referred users buy items for $500 in total you get 50% of the earnings that eBay made from the sales. The combined force at Auction Ads could very well earn up to 65% of that amount.

That was the theory behind Auction Ads. The basic principle should also be clear. You display ads on your website that show auctions that are currently running at eBay. If a user clicks on the link he gets redirected to eBay where he could purchase the item or bid on it. If he buys it, either immediately or after the auction runs out, you get a share of the revenue that eBay made from the auction.

You are free to display auctions with keywords that you think would fit nicely into your theme. If you have a site about music you could create keywords for bands, albums, collections or merchandise and see how this would work out. It is possible to exclude items as well. Let us say you only want to sell hdtv TVs. If you perform the search for hdtv TVs you will soon see that there are lots of cables appearing which would also be shown on your website. If you use the keyword “hdtv -cable” you would only display hdtv links and none with cables for hdtv TVs.

You can choose between several ad forms which are mostly known from Adsense. Rectangles, banners, leaderboard and skyscrapers are all there and can be used. Takes a little bit of experimenting before you know which one works best for your website. It is also possible to change the appearance of the ads. I would suggest not to blend them because you do not get paid for clicks but only for purchases from those users. Does not make much sense to blend the ads perfectly and get lots of click throughs but no revenue at all because the users did not want to go there.

You can run Auction Ads and Adsense on the same pages which is another good feature. I think Auction Ads work best with blogs and websites that deal with products that one can buy on eBay.

Are you already using Auction Ads ? How is it working out for you ?
