How to Flip Money Online, What is it and is it Legit?

How can I Flip Money, What is Money Flipping and is it Legit?

Like me you’ve probably been tempted by get rich schemes or quick ways of making money online which involve sending money to a stranger or investing your money in an online business and receiving a quick Return On Investment (ROI). These schemes usually target people who are struggling to make ends meet and need some extra money, fast.

However Money Flipping advertised through Social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter or Facebook are SCAMS. In this post I will discuss how the scam works and some legit ways of making money online that involve putting in some extra time and effort.

What is Money Flipping?

Flipping is a term used primarily in the United States to describe purchasing a revenue-generating asset and quickly reselling (or “flipping”) it for profit – usually real estate and initial public offerings (IPOs) which involves the sale of stock. This is perfectly legal.

However Money Flipping online usually refers to a scam involving social media. You’ve probably heard of the Nigerian Prince scam right? It’s similar to that and is one of a variety called an advance-fee scam. It usually involves promising the victim a share of a larger sum of money, in return for you sending a smaller up-front payment, which the scammer requires in order to obtain the larger sum.

How you Flip Cash Online

You may have seen their ads where money flipping is advertised on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and offers to help you double or triple your money or even turn hundreds of dollars into thousands. If that sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is.

Scammers claiming you can flip money online may suggest you make a payment through Western Union, Money gram, or Paypal. Alternatively, they may try to obtain your banking details by getting you to visit a website. They usually entice you into separating with your money by showing you images of pretty women holding wads of cash or flashy cars complete with lots of fake testimonials about how easy it is to make money, or they will show you a fake video of someone who benefited from the scheme and is counting the cash.

They will often claim to take advantage of quirks in the monetary system to leverage additional cash or claim to be able to hack Western Union, Green Dot or Money gram and double or triple your cash by manipulating the amount of money in their computer system. Don’t fall for it.

If you agree to go along with the scheme, they may ask to contact you via telephone or whatsapp. Once the scammer has your card details or you’ve made the payment, you get un-friended or blocked on the social media platform, and all communication is lost. Your money gone.

There’s a new variation on the flipping money scam. In the past, the scammers asked you to send the initial payment via prepaid debit card or wire transfers. However nowadays the victim isn’t asked to send money but to instead mail their physical debit card to the scammer as well as their PIN, so that a check can be deposited into their account. They are told that they will receive a percentage of the money made from the check to compensate for their trouble.

If you send them your debit card, you will often see a large deposit in your account. This will be followed by a large withdrawal. Unfortunately, the deposited check is a fake and you are left owing the bank money when the check comes back as a fraud.
Online scam
The BBB is one of several consumer-protection agencies warning of the scam. Authorities in several other states also have posted warnings about flipping cash. The National Consumer League also warns about the scam on their website at fraud.org.

Tips to Avoid Online Scams

  • Do a quick search of the service or scheme using a search engine and add the keyword scam to the end. For example, “Western Union Money Flip Scam”. You could also search their username and phone number. Chances are others have posted about the scam.
  • Do not respond to anyone asking for your bank account information or pin or someone who wants you to send them your debit card through the post. Also don’t send money to strangers using Western Union or Money gram.
  • Do not assume your friends are sharing or liking scam posts as their accounts may have been hacked.
  • Check out the company’s website and make sure the content is up to date, that they have a business registration number, licensing information and an actual address.
  • Don’t fall for easy or quick money-making schemes and remember that if it was that easy to make money online everyone would be doing it.
  • If you feel that you have been a victim of a scam you should file a complaint with fraud.org

Legit ways of Flipping Money Online

Hopefully by now you realize that earning money online takes hard work and that there are no quick and easy ways of flipping money. Here are some ways of making money online that require some time and effort but will usually pay off in the end.

Domain Name Flipping
However you can still make money online by flipping website domain names. This can involve purchasing a website a sought-after domain name, holding on to it and selling it at a higher cost. To increase the value of the domain it can help to associate it with a website so that the domain has Doman Authority before reselling it. You can make a significant profit from doing this, but it takes time. A tip is to purchase short snappy domain names as these tend to sell for more. Also avoid domain names with hyphens as these are considered spammy.

Website Flipping
This is similar to Doman name Flipping except the emphasis is on the website traffic rather than the domain name itself. You want to choose run-down or low-quality websites that are already receiving some search engine traffic as this demonstrates that the website is not penalized by the search engines. You then want to increase the search engine traffic to the website and resell it for a profit.

Cryptocurrency
Another way of flipping cash is to invest in cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others to make a profit. Investing in cryptocurrencies has resulted in one of the highest return on investments ever. Had you invested only $10 in June 2011, your current ROI would approximate over 60,000%. That’s over $6,000 in just a few years. Perhaps instead of buying that luxury watch or pair of shoes, why not invest that money in cryptocurrency instead.
My advice would be to not invest more money than you’re willing to lose and to diversify your portfolio across multiple assets such as stocks, commodities, bank deposits etc.

Selling Products Online
You can sell products online whether it’s through eBay, Etsy or Amazon for a quick profit. You can start by selling some of your own possessions whether they be clothing, jewellery or household goods, and then move onto buying and selling profitable items to ‘flip’ for profit. This is known as retail arbitrage and it is surprisingly lucrative. These are typically sold on Amazon or eBay. This can yield quick cash, depending on the prices and demand for your items. You also can promote your items on social media, to direct customers to your products online.

Two indispensable and powerful tools that allows you to search for sale and clearance deals near your zip code and sell them for profit are BrickSeek and Tactical Arbitrage.

Affiliate Marketing
If you have a significant social media following, or you own a website or blog you can sign up with companies to promote their services or products and earn commission based on the number of sales you make. Be sure to promote high quality products or services that will provide value to your customers.

What is Usertesting and is it Legit?

Is UserTesting Legit and How do I Get a 5 Star Rating?”

If you’re thinking of signing up with UserTesting I suggest you read this review. I’m not an affiliate for UserTesting. It’s just my honest opinion of the site. I’ll also offer some tips on getting a 5 star rating.

What is UserTesting

Website owners often wonder what a visitor thinks when they visit their site for the first time and it can be difficult to know unless you actually observe what a visitor is doing.

That’s where UserTesting comes in. UserTesting allows site owners see how visitors interact with their site so they can fix problems or improve the user experience. It also allows you to get paid for visiting a website, completing some tasks, and recording your feedback as you use the site.

It can be fun and satisfying providing feedback on a site and express the typical annoyances you encounter, while getting paid in the process. According to UserTesting, some major companies have used UserTesting including Airbnb, Expedia, Facebook, Intuit and even Walmart.

How does UserTesting Work

When you signup you should use your PayPal email address.

You will then need to download some screen cast software called installusertesting-v2.0.exe. This isn’t malware so don’t worry, nor will it record your face. It’s only so they can record your screen while you’re carrying out the test. Once you’ve completed a user test, it then uploads a screen cast, complete with your audio once you’ve completed the test.

When you start you will get a prep or setup test to makes sure you qualify. It can then take a few days for them to review your test and you will not get paid. Once you get approved you can start user testing sites. If you pass you will get a rating. The higher the rating the higher the likelihood you will get more tests.

The tasks usually take about 20 minutes to complete and during the whole process you provide a running commentary, effectively thinking aloud so the site owner gets a good idea of the user’s experience.

You get $10 every time you provide your feedback if you’re testing the site from a PC or laptop, and $15 if you’re interacting with the site using a mobile device. You should get paid 7 days after taking the test.

What can you Expect from UserTesting

Let’s keep it real. You’re not going to build a sustainable business from this program. In fact it’s unlikely you’ll even make the equivalent of a full time income.

Why?

The tests are very sporadic and you can even go for a few weeks without any tests. Plus, I think it has become somewhat over-saturated by users hoping to earn a living from the program, only to discover there just isn’t enough supply. With so many testers it’s hard to remain qualified without getting a few low stars and then getting rejected for future tests.

You can also waste time taking long surveys before the test, only to find you’re not qualified. You can also spend a lot of time looking for tests that you’re qualified for. The amount of tests you receive depends largely on your demographics and your diligence to check for them.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t earn a quick $10 or $15 bucks in a few minutes once a test becomes available and you’re qualified to take it.

The key question is whether you qualify. Some site owners want only users in a key demographic to complete the test. The requirements for the test can be so strict, you’ll be lucky to take a test once a week. If you’re a student or unemployed, well then you may not get any tests! If you are not full-time employed in exactly the industry they are looking for, you will not make any money or there won’t be many tests available.

I’ve checked out the feedback ratings from others and based on my own experience I’ve provided the best and worst thigns about UserTesting below. Please note that while you may have seen low ratings on other sites this may be partly due to the disappointment of not achieving 5 stars.

UserTesting Pros

  • Fun & Satisfying – It can be fun providing your opinion and getting paid in the process. It can also be quite satisfying helping to improve the web by exposing problems with a site so the web owner can fix it
  • Good Pay – Unlike survey sites where you earn very little for your time spent, at least with User Testing you can earn $10 or $15 bucks within a few minutes once you qualify for a test.

UserTesting Cons

  • Not Enough Work – The amount of tests you receive depends largely on your demographics and your diligence to check for them. Even if you obtain good ratings for your assignments you can still have a hard time finding enough work, probably because of too much demand and not enough supply of work from web owners.
  • Wasted Time – A lot of time can be spent looking for a tests you qualify for and then requiring you take a survey before you encounter the test, effectively collecting information from you for free, only to then discover you don’t qualify because you’re not from the industry they’re looking for.
  • Very high Bar – I think this has a lot to do with over-saturation of the business. With so many testers it’s hard to remain qualified without getting a few low stars and then getting rejected for future tests. Also the requirements for the test can be high. If you’re a student or unemployed it’s unlikely, you’ll get many tests at all.
  • Can be Disappointing – Some have complained that UserTesting makes it appear as if there’s work available, only to find there’s little you qualify for once you’ve signed up – a kind of Bait and Switch
  • Unfair Rating System – Ratings sometimes seem arbitrary, unfair and can significantly affect your ability to find future work. With clients reviewing the workers, there should really be a second grader, such as User Testing. Also the companies who use the tests to improve their sites often never rate which can make it harder to find new tests when you’re starting out. It’s important to get a 5 Star rating. If you have a rating lower than 5 stars it’s very likely you won’t get any more tests and you won’t be able to make any money.
  • Mobile App Problems – Some have complained that the mobile app can be a bit buggy, automatically closing during the middle of a test or not uploading the video. This can be a problem as you cannot restart. However I believe this problem has now been fixed.

What can you Reasonably Expect to Earn?

With User Testing the pay is pretty good at $10 per test with each test lasting around 20 minutes. So if you could complete three tests within an hour, you would earn around $30 for an hour’s work.

However…

This assumes you would have enough work and unfortunately unless you fit a specific demographic, the work can be fairly sporadic and also depend on where you live and what tests are available at the time.

UserTesting Tips and Advice

  • Read the Tasks Carefully – Make sure you fulfil all the demands of whatever test you’re doing. This seems obvious but so many people forget to stick to the tasks which appear in the upper right-hand side of the screen. You should still provide a running commentary, particularly when the site is loading or while you’re navigating the site but your main focus should be on completing the tasks.
  • Take note of the time – Stick to the time limit on the initial practice test or you can end up with a poor rating.
  • Narrate Every Step of the Way – You should narrate every step of the process. So for example if you’re testing a site you might say “I’ve clicked on an image and it’s taken me to a new page”, or “I see I need to be a subscriber to download this”. Take time to verbally explain why you chose your answer. The more you explain what you’re doing and what you’re expecting, the more useful it will be for a customer.
  • Speak out Loud – No one can read your mind so provide a running commentary of your thoughts. Also keep asking questions and adding comments to explain what you’re thinking. The more you explain why you do things and what you’re expecting, the more useful your video will be for the customer. Even while a page is loading, have a running commentary of your thoughts but try to keep the comments relevant to the context such as the load time or user experience.
  • Good Sound Quality – Be sure to invest in a decent microphone and try to get one that has noise cancelling abilities if there is background noise. Having a good microphone where your voice is clear can go some way on ensuring you obtain a 5 star rating.
  • Relax while you’re doing the Tests – It’s best to come across as authentic and not robotic, so don’t feel you can never punctuate your speech with an “um” or “er”. Try not to get anxious and worry too much about impressing the listener. You should try to have some fun and not be a perfectionist.
  • Use the Pause Button – While you should try to prepare for everything before you start the test there will be times when you’re interrupted by someone or your phone rings. It’s perfectly acceptable to use the pause button occasionally. You can even pause to collect your thoughts but try not to do this too often and make sure to state that you are pausing to think. Just make sure you restart from where you left off so the transition is seamless.
  • Do some Research – Do some research on what testers are expected to do or say during a test so you pass on your practice test and get paid for the tests that follow.
  • Keep the website in the background Best to keep the website in the background so when a test becomes available you can select it. If you don’t keep it open chances are you will miss the majority, if not all the tests.

Conclusion

You’re not going to get rich doing this, or even earn a full time income, but it can earn you a bit extra pocket money. Just keep the program in a tab in the background and if you have some free time you can go ahead with the test.

I think sites like UserTesting have become saturated with testers, which is why its become harder to find tests that you qualify for, even if you belong to the right demographics and you have good ratings. Many have complained about the arbitrary nature of the rating system which means that you can be rated low even if you follow the instructions and complete the tests. It’s as if UserRating is looking for an excuse not to pay you.

It would appear as if UserTesting is carryout out free market research in the guise of qualifying questions – asking questions such as your income income, age, what products and services you use only to find you don’t qualify.

Let me know in the comment section your experience of UserRating and whether you think it’s worth signing up.

Is Unique Rewards A Scam or Just a Waste of Time?

What is Unique Rewards and is it a Scam?

Unique Rewards claims to be a reward site that pays you for answering surveys, clicking ads, reading emails, even watching videos and listening to music. You’re probably wondering whether the site is actually legit as I did. I tried to answer that question and here’s what I discovered.

What is Unique Rewards?

It started operations in 2003 in Oberlin, Ohio and is currently headed by CEO Mr. Oleg Gradel. I tried to do some further research on Mr. Oleg Gradel and the only information I could find was a Linkedin page with no profile pic and little information. However, that doesn’t mean Unique Rewards is a scam. It could just mean that the owner isn’t keen on social media.

How Does Unique Rewards Work?

You will first need to sign up for free. At the time of writing Unique Rewards was only accepting members from the US, UK and Canada. After you’ve signed up you’re then given the option of completing various surveys and offers. These include:

Online Surveys — Complete Online Surveys that are free but sometimes require you to submit your credit card details.
Paid To Click Ads — Click on adverts after watching them for a set amount of time and earn a few cents in the process.
Watch Videos — Watch videos that are basically adverts and get paid based on how long the video lasts.
Cash-back on Shopping — Cash-back on Shopping gives you a percentage cash back just for shopping online through UniqueRewards. Simply choose a product, make a purchase and receive up to 35% cash rebate credited to your UniqueRewards account.
Reading Email — Every email you receive contains an offer which has to be completed. After you complete the offer you will earn 1 cent.
Referrals — Get $5 for each new member you Invite and earn 10% of their earnings

Once you’ve earned over $20 you gain premium member status which means you earn more money for completing each reward.

What you can Expect

When you sign up you’re required to enter basic information about yourself such as your name, address, telephone, email etc.

After I signed up I was only presented with one option. This was a short survey from a company called Netratings. After completing the short survey, I was asked to download and install a PC application from www.nielsennetpanel.com. The file is called netsight_setup from Nielsen // NetRatings. However, I wouldn’t recommend installing it. The application is difficult to uninstall and according to others it consumes a lot of resources and causes audio problems. However, it doesn’t appear to be malware.
Unique Rewards Netratings

Unique Rewards Nielsen Software

I skipped the part that involved downloading and installing the software and not long after I was presented with some better options as you can see below:

Unique Rewards Offers

There are many different offers. These include Offers/Surveys, OfferWalls, Polls, Clicks, and Videos. The Surveys or offers are quite varied and include Research Projects, Free Trials, Membership Clubs, Registration Offers and Daily Surveys. I would avoid the Downloads category just in case some of the applications you download contain malware.
Unique Rewards options

Unique Rewards pays through Payapl or Check which can take about 7 days to process your cash-out request. However, some have claimed they never received any money when cashing out and were unable to contact customer support. The minimum balance for cashing out is $20.

Who is Unique Rewards For

For people on a low income who want to supplement their income

Unique Rewards Support

The only available method of contacting their company is via email.

Unique Rewards Price

It’s currently free to join

Pros and Cons

The Pros

  • Free $5 sign-up bonus for new members
  • Get $5 referral bonus plus 10% of whatever your referral earns over their lifetime.
  • Large variation of tasks and different categories making the work less tedious.
  • You can accumulate fairly significant cash backs by signing up for trial offers.
  • A user rating system for each reward so you can be sure that others have had a good experience and found them to be profitable.
  • You get the chance to complain if a particular award was a waste of time and Unique Awards will remove the offer.
  • You can sort the Offers by Profitability, Reward Amount or Popularity.
  • Low minimum payout balance of $20.

The Cons

  • Not available to users who live outside of the USA, Canada, and the UK
  • Some people have complained that Unique Rewards failed to pay them
  • Some of the offers will earn you very little

Unique Rewards Tips

  • Make sure to check out the user ratings that have been left by other members who have completed those offers. This will give you an idea as to whether those rewards are any good or not.
  • Make sure there no popup blockers or Ad-blocking software preventing you from completing the offers
  • Occasionally you may fail to get credit but clearing your cookies and cache before logging into Unique Rewards can solve this problem
  • Set your browser to accept all cookies so that you get credited
  • To prevent spam I recommend getting a second email account. That way if you get offers and spam from various companies it won’t end up in your primary email account.
  • Be wary of any Awards that require you to download a file as it could be adware/spyware.
  • The highest rewards come from signing up to Free Trials using a credit card. However if you don’t cancel the free trial you can end up being charged more than you actually make.

Unique Awards Alternatives

Survey Junkie — Survey junkie provides nothing, but surveys and they advertise themselves as the most popular survey site online. SurveyJunkie.com has over 7 million members and was launched on Oct 6, 2005.

Swagbucks — Swagbucks is essentially a search engine that pays you in the form of “swag bucks” for using it. There are plenty of other ways to obtain swag bucks too, like taking surveys, playing games, and cutting coupons, but it’s predominantly a search engine.

MyPoints Surveys — MyPoints is a rewards program website where members can collect reward Points by making online purchases from certain retailers. It’s also a website that offers many other ways of collecting incentives for great gifts. It also includes online survey’s.

Ipsos iSay — Ipos iSay strictly focuses on survey’s. Every time you complete a survey, you’re invited to play what’s known as Poll Predictor, where you guess what percentage of people answer “Yes” to different questions. You’re awarded “chances” based on how close your guess is and you can use these chances to enter into Ipsos i-Say’s prize draws.

FusionCash.com — FussionCash is more than an online survey site. You have a number of choices to earn cash including completing offers by trying out a product or testing out software. You can also complete Surveys just like SurveyJunkie except you can also earn cashback on purchases you make at different online retailers. There are also paid to call opportunities, watching videos and completing tasks. FusionCash is only available for residents of the United States.

Conclusion

Would I recommend Unique Rewards?
No, because like all online survey sites or reward sites the earnings are very low. Also from the reviews I’ve read online the experiences are somewhat mixed, with some claiming to have received earnings and others claiming to have been cheated out of their time. It should also be noted that according to the Better Business Bureau there’s been 5 complaint(s) filed against business that include not receiving any money after completing the required work.

What Do I Recommend?
If you’re someone who’s interested in earning a real online income, you want to be financially independent and be your own boss you’ve probably searched online for work at home opportunities only to be confused by all the information out there and the number of business opportunities baying for your attention. It’s difficult to separate the wheat from the weeds or know where to start. To make matters worse, the online world changes very fast.

You Enter a search term below to find and compare offers. So, for example if you owned a fitness website you may want to promote workout apps for mobiles. You would type “workout app” into the search box and then select the Mobile tab to find all the offers promoted by various affiliate networks that relate to that niche.

Offervault search

These results will be presented in 6 columns.

  • Target Low Competition KeywordsIt’s very difficult to earn money as an affiliate marketer if targeting high competition key phrases. Always carry out keyword research before signing up or target keywords your site already ranks for.
  • Use AnalyticsIf you own a website check out your analytics as they will usually tell you what keywords and pages you already rank for. You can then target affiliate offers that include keywords you already rank for. You could then update the content of the page to reflect the affiliate offer you’re selling.
  • Scrolling MarqueeCheck out the scrolling marquee near the top of the screen as it will give you some great ideas.
  • Sign up You should sign up to offervault as it is free and gives you access to more tools and features.

Offervault.com Alternatives

A similar alternative to Offervault.com is oDigger.com which provides 272,580 Affiliate offers at the current time, and 670 affiliate networks. It has a similar layout to Offervault and also a blog and forum.

Summary of Offervault

Offervault can make the task of comparing different affiliate offers much quicker and easier. It also enables you to refine your search to specific criteria. While Offervault offers less affiliate offers than oDigger, it does provide free webinars to help you become a better online marketer.

Offervault is a great place to start if you need to compare different affiliate offers that offer the best commission. However, you should limit yourself to only those offers you know you can rank for and use the scrolling marquee to get some ideas.

No Superpay me is not a scam and they do pay people who complete the surveys. Also Superpay has plenty of positive reviews from non-affiliate sites like TrustPilot.

This review will explain what Superpay is, how you get paid, the pros and cons of Superpay and tips when joining.

Superpay.me is basically a ‘Get Paid to’ site that will pay you to carry out online surveys and provide your opinion. Some of their payment methods include Paypal, Payza, Skrill (Moneybookers) and Amazon Gift Cards. They are like other PTC sites that pay you to answer surveys, click on ads or provide your opinion.

While you won’t earn a lot of money via Superpay if you haven’t referred many people it’s still a great way of earning some extra cash quickly.

According to TrustPilot, Superpay has a rating of 4 out of 5 based on 525 reviews at this current time. Here are the reviews

Here are some of the things people said about Superpay:

They are easy to work with and payout is almost immediate
Great way to earn a few extra bucks. Some of the surveys are way too long for the few cents they offer to pay. But like I said a few extra dollars is a few extra dollars.
Superpay.me is the best. Not only do they offer a great variety of ways to earn money, they let you have your money everyday by only having to make $1.00 which is very easy to do. On top of that, if you have problems or just a question, they communicate with back to you within a day. I love Superpay.me.

I’ve been on Superpayme for I think about two months now and love it. It’s legit,the layout of the site is simple and easy to understand,the people in chat are friendly. I don’t want to sound like an advertisement lol but I’ve tried many other Survey/task sites and this one IS the best in my opinion. Cashout is just a dollar and you can cash out daily right to your PayPal (other options available)) and I get my money fast. I’ve made over 150 dollars from just hopping on when I can in two months. It’s a great site.

They had a few negative reviews on TrustPilot which mainly relate to technical errors or claims that Superpay accused them of cheating. This can happen for a variety of reasons which I mention below.

I noticed that Superpay.me replied to these negative reviews on TrustPilot. This shows they are serious when it comes to customer service, even replying to problems that people state on a different site.

Here are the pros and cons of Superpay from my own experience and from various reviews that I have read online.

Pros of Superpay

Free to Join – It’s free to sign up and doesn’t cost anything to join.

Customer Service – They always reply to problems in a timely manner. Superpay provide great customer service.

Get Paid Instantly – Just sign up for free, complete some surveys and you will get paid instantly. Your first payment will be manual, but once you’re verified you can use the Instant Paypal option and get paid unlimited times per day and immediately.

Low Minimum Withdrawal – Even if you’ve only accumulated a balance of $1.00 you can still withdraw. However, if you withdraw from PayPal do realize there’s a small transaction fee so it can be best to wait until your earnings are higher.

Easy way of Earning some Extra Cash – With Superpay it’s easy to earn money as it doesn’t require any skills or qualifications.

Unlimited Referrals – You can refer as many people as you like to Superpay and you get paid 25% of what they earn. Let’s say you refer 20 people to Superpay and they each on average earn $5 a day. That’s $25 you earn a day for doing nothing.

Flexible – You can earn money in a number of different ways such as completing surveys, offers, viewing PTC banner ads, participating in contests, Crowdlower tasks and even watching videos.

International – You can participate in any country around the world and earn money. However some countries will provide higher paying surveys than others.

Cons of Superpay

Payment – Some companies prefer to pay with credits rather than cash. I would prefer the money in cash rather than having to spend the money at stores like Amazon.

Verification – Eventually you will need to verify your identity and current address. This is to help prevent fraud and to maintain the integrity of the site and it’s members. This information is then deleted by Superpay once verified.

Viable Surveys – According to reviews there are plenty of viable surveys. However sometimes you can answer a lot of questions in a survey only for them to decide you’re not right for a survey. This can be a waste of time.

Earnings are Low – Earnings are pretty low and you should probably earn only about £5.00 on average unless you recruit more people and earn commission from those you refer – in which case you can earn a lot more. (25% of their earnings).

International offers are lacking – While Superpay is international that doesn’t mean all offers are the same or equally available. Most offers are available for residents of English speaking nations or some western European nations like Italy or Spain. Some countries offer less offers or no offers at all.

Tips on Using Superpay

Do’s and Don’ts

Negative reviews of Superpay.me complain that they don’t get paid or their account gets locked. However, I’ve discovered there are some legitimate reasons for this. Here are some Dos and Don’ts:

Don’t use a foreign IP Address – This is a no-no and is a violation of their rules. You should not use a proxy server, VPN, shared IP address or even a public internet connection as this can get your account banned. Some use a foreign server to make it appear that you live in another country in the hope of obtaining better surveys and higher pay. You must be honest about where you’re from so that businesses can geo-target you.

Do Use your current address and legit ID – You will eventually have to verify your identity. This is to maintain the integrity of the site and to ensure against cheating and fraud.

Do not use Automation Software – Some may try and use software to automate the process of answering surveys. Do not do this! It will get you banned. They have ways of detecting this. Just answer the surveys honestly and you will get faster over time.

Don’t Complete the same offer more than once – Don’t complete the same offer more than once as this is considered fraud and can lead to account termination

Don’t use the Opera Web Browser – For some reason the Opera web browser does not work and you can mistakenly be labelled a cheater

Do Keep your Account Active – In order to keep your account active, you need to login in at least once every 90 days.

Other reasons for denying a Superpay account can involve:
• Using Multiple Accounts
• Failing their telephone Verification process
• Changing your Internet ISP connection from one country to another
• Using a mobile or satellite internet connection
• Using an anonymous IP address

Conclusion

Superpay is great for people who need to supplement their income but isn’t recommended as a supplementary form of income. Cetainly not a substitute for a regular job.

Unless you have many referrals, you shouldn’t expect to earn more than a few dollars a day. However their affiliate program is pretty good, offering 25% of the earnings from those you refer.

The customer service is good and they are quick to respond to problems, just make sure you follow their rules and you won’t have to worry about having your account suspended.
