Getting Paid To Read Emails

Can you actually get paid to read emails? Yes.

Can you make a thousand, or even a hundred dollars a month while doing so? Not likely.

Why would someone pay you money to read an email? Advertisers want to spread the word about their product or service to as many people as possible.

Pros: The time commitment is extremely small. Basically, this is free money.

Cons: It can take a while to reach the minimum payout level of each website.

Those who give out the cash:

Send Earnings - This website offers a $5 bonus just for signing up for free. However, you will not be able to collect the five bucks until you reach the $30 payout level. You can speed up the process by taking surveys, signing up for free stuff, referring others, or shopping at one of their affiliate vendors. They have paid me twice (via check), so I can safely say they are legit.

Inbox Dollars - Very similar to Send Earnings. Same set up, same $5 registration bonus, same payout level. I'm not sure if these two websites are owned by the same company, but either way, you can use both. The website has been around for a while, and they have paid me once via check.

Hits4Pay - This one is different in that they will simply email you and ask you to log in to view the ads. Each ad you read pays a massive two cents. May not seem like much, but it can add up quickly if you select several interests. Again, you do get $5 for signing up, but cannot get the dough until you reach the $30 payout threshold. Been paid once, almost to payment two.

Deals 'n Cash - Almost identical to Hits4Pay, with the exception being that the pay per ad read is only one cent. $5 signup bonus, $30 cash out. I'm about ten cents from reaching the first payout, and cannot totally guarantee anything until the cash is in my hands.

There are plenty of other websites similar to these, but the rates they offer are so low that they are a waste of time. Well, a waste of my time anyway. If you are unemployed and in desperate need of dough, you may think otherwise.

If you are interested in these, simply Google the term, "paid to click" and you will see tons of results. If there is one redeeming quality of these websites, it would be that the payout level can be as low as $1, and many of them issue the payment via PayPal.
