section III: tips and ticks to help along the way

#1 When completing offers, some will ask for some pretty personal information such as your phone number, address, and email address. The main thing that you should worry about is your email. These companies will absolutely spam your email. I highly recommend that you create a new email with someone like yahoo, just for completing offers. They cannot really do much with you name and address alone, so I would not worry about that if I were you. Another thing that you might want to worry about is your phone number. You probably do not want those annoying phone calls, so I recommend getting a special online phone number at a website like viatalk. If you do not want to pay the fees of viatalk, then you will probably just have to use your secondary phone number, which is still OK, because almost none of these companies will actually call you. #2 Get a separate credit card just for completing offers. This will protect you from having to use your primary credit card for completing offers if you do not feel comfortable doing so. You can easily get a gift card from simon.com where you can pre-load how much you would like to put on your card. As I said before, there are a lot of offers that do not require a credit card. #3 When completing offers that ask for personal information such as your SSN or your credit card number, make sure that the page that you are filling this information out on is secure. A good way to check is by looking at the website in the address bar. When you are on the page that requires this information, the site's name should start off with: 'https'. The S stands for secure. #4 Remember to clear your browser's cookies at least once a week. This will help your computer running smoothly and will make it easier for the companies to track you. #5 It is a very good idea to keep a chart to keep track of your completed offers. This will prevent you from completing the same offer twice and will also remind you when a trial offer that you had will expire. In your chart, you should keep these major columns: site name, offer name, payout, total cost, date ,trial expiration date, and just another column for important notes. #6 Always read the terms and conditions of an offer before signing up. You want to make sure that you know what you are signing up for. #7 try to sign up with the website as soon as you click the link. This ensures that you will get credited for becoming a referral.-You are getting very close to being able to start earning your money! Keep reading!
