Now from time to time we all look for a way to earn just a little bit of extra money. And I am no different from most folks.
I have several that have been successful for me and some that have not been. I am going to tell you about one that has not been.
Get Paid 4 ( http://www.getpaid4.com)
Getpaid4 pays you for having a bar on your desktop while you are actively browsing the Internet and it shows you ads.
The bar is designed, supposedly for easy use, that is to include easy access to your account which is marked with a dollar sign. The bar does dock to either the top or the bottom of your screen and it you can adjust the screen so that none of what you may be working on will be blocked from your view.
The bar will let you know if you have been idle to long because of the colors which you can find over on the left hand side of the bar meaning that: Green - active, yellow -- inactive and red -- stopped. You move your mouse and the green light indicates that you are back up and running. You must keep your mouse moving at least every minute to get credit. This is irritating as well. However, some people are constantly moving their mouse so this would not be a problem for them.
From the Web Site
’’What is the GetPaid4 Bar?
The GetPaid4 Bar is an advertisement window that displays two new ads every 45 seconds.
The Bar is about an inch in height that stretches across the top or bottom of your desktop.
The Bar can be turned on or off anytime.’’
The rates supposedly will be up to . 75 but I think they have paid out . 40 per hour which is not bad at all and this is up to 75 hours. But as with any program a lot depends on the revenue that Getpaid4 will receive, in other words the economy. (Which right now is not so good?)
The referrals!
Level one direct referrals = 10%
Level two indirect referrals = 7%
Level three indirect referrals = 5%
Level four indirect referrals = 2%
Level five indirect referrals = 2%
Level six indirect referrals = 1%
Level seven indirect referrals = 1%
Some Other Information
You also get paid for clicking on the adds along and along. There is a certain amount each month that you need to click to remain active. The adds to come often, too often if you ask me.
You are supposed to get paid for searching the web as well. You input your keywords into the search option on the GetPaid4 Bar and utilize dozens of search engines to bring you a broad spectrum of information. But this is not yet available in the beta stage of the program. Seems to me they have been in beta for a long, long time now.
There is a fact/support area, in which you can find out answers to most of your questions. I strongly suggest that you take the time to read this area. And remember, words are sometimes deceiving!
What I think
Not much because over a year ago I joined this program and have yet to be paid. I have sent many emails to ’’Getpaid4.com’’ to no avail. I have logged in a bunch of hours with Getpaid4 and not one word on when I might get paid. I joined September of 2000. This is now October 2001. I have requested a check to be paid to me via PayPal. I have not seen that check as of yet. And our of frusteration, I am finally ready to give up on them.
My referrals dropped out because they were not getting paid. And I don’t blame them one bit! I will am going to give them a few more days to pay me, and then cut the losses and get out!
Guys run away from this program should you come across it. It is not worth the time or effort. In my opinion they are fakes. For me they have not held up to their end of the bargain.
There may be some of you out there that possibly had a great experience with GetPaid4, but not me.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
