Stay at Home Business 101: Get Paid to Read

This is now the 3rd of the series about Get Paid To programs. The first two were Get Paid To Click and Get Paid To Programs. Now, it is Paid To Read or PTR programs. In PTR programs, you will agree to receive email from the site and get credit for reading them. Why not? If you have the time and means.

As a tip, it would be wise not to use your primary email address in registering with PTR programs. You don't want your primary email inbox bombarded with tons of email ads, right? So, it is best to use a separate email account solely for GPT programs (as already mentioned in the first 2 posts). I use Gmail. Because with Gmail, I can easily set up a filter label (See picture below) for each PTR program. This makes my inbox more organized and easy to navigate.

Most of the PTR programs I know pay 0.25 cents to 1 cent per email read. Some are much lower. But beware of those which offer $1 per email, most of the time, they are scam sites. Example PTR sites are:

• DonkeyMails - 0.25 cent per email; approx. 5 emails every other day; minimum cash out $1; you can earn also by PTC and get paid to sign up.
• MatrixMails - 1 cent per email; minimum cash out $2; you can earn also by PTC and get paid to write articles.
• Wordlinx - 1 cent per email; minimum cash out $10; you can also earn by PTC.
• Ads for All - 0.2 cent per email; minimum cash out $1; you can also earn by PTC.
• Adsquik - 0.5 to 0.1 cent per ad read; (This is not really a PTR site but an ad exchange site. You earn points by reading email sent to you. In return, you can post ads using the points earned. The owner is just generous that cash rewards are given. This is a wonderful site for me.)

So that's it for now. Next post on Stay at Home Business 101, I'll post some proof of payments to the GPT programs I joined.
