Paid Emails
Paid emails can be another good source of revenue online. Paid emails work by the user receiving and reading advertisements in their email from commerical companies. The companies, wanting to get quick feedback from Internet users, are willing to pay them the time and effort spent responding to their ads. Paid email users typically read the sent email and perform simple tasks such as visiting the targeted site for a designated period of time (about 30 seconds), activating a confirmation link or completing a short feedback form to the advertising company.
How much do they pay?
This depends on 4 factors:
#1: Payment Rate
Payment rates vary from one company to another, but an average email pays out from $0.01 to $0.05. Some better known companies offer a higher price for 1 paid email.
#2: Number of paid email sites joined
Obviously if you are going to sign up for only 1 website, you are not going to make a lot of money. The more websites offering such programs you join, the higher the pay definitely. However, just like paid surveys, be sure to check your inbox regularly for paid emails as some of them may have a very short eligibility period. Some websites may deactivate your account if you do not respond for a long period of time as they may view you as an inactive member.
#3: Your personal interests
Pleases dont take it lightly when you are filling up the "Interests" section in the registration form of the site. They do send paid emails based on your personal interests. Hence, do not skim through this section while applying to be a member of a paid email site. On the other extreme, it is not advisable to tick every box in that section because you dont want your inbox to be flooded with paid mails that bore you to tears. Personal discretion and striking a balance are recommended.
#4: Your demographics
As in paid surveys, demographics play an important role in your eligibility as a member of a paid email site. While there are websites available for registration to international participants, they may receive less emails than locals due to geographical location (InboxDollars). Again, the tables can be turned if the international participant is hardworking and resourceful enough as he/she can use the exchange rate to his/her advantage.
