Read email programs
Some of you have joined “read email” programs because most of these programs have a FREE membership option, which will also pay you in cash for your efforts, once your income reaches a predetermined minimum level, after which you can ask for payment.
Some of these programs will pay about 1 cent for each email that you read and some of them only permit you to earn from a few emails each day. Thus waiting for a payout from some of these programs requires that you take a very long term view, perhaps a 1 year or even a 2 year view.
Recently a newer group of companies have established themselves on the internet and they are offering payments of between 10 cents and 10 dollars, depending on the program that you join, for each email that you read, and this is a FREE membership.
Many of the emails have to remain open between 30 seconds and as long as 6 minutes, however, before you can get paid.
From my limited contact with the businesses that I have joined, you are able to earn a substantially greater income and also you can join most sites as an associate which will provide you with an option to earn other levels of income.
Many of the sites that I recently joined will not provide a pay out until a large minimum payout amount is reached. However after only 2 weeks as a member I have already earned over 50% of the minimum amount to obtain a payout, from 2 of the sites. With other sites my income, after 2 weeks as a member, ranges between 7% and 49% of the minimum amount to obtain a payout.
Thus I anticipate that I should be able to ask for my first cheque within the next 3 weeks or so. Not bad for what would then be just over 1 month of work.
Each of the sites offers a paid membership, that allows for payment of income much sooner than that which is provided for FREE members. The paid membership also offers higher rates of earnings and a more favourable commission on affiliates that join under you. Also should you wish to advertise on the sites, a big discount is offered to the paid membership.
I have not, at this time, elected to take a paid membership with any of the sites that I have joined, as they do not permit the payment for paid membership to be paid from earnings accrued.
When I receive my first payout, I will probably opt for a paid membership, but as I will be using earned income to pay for the membership, I will still regard the sites as FREE sites.
The sites that I have joined can be located on my blog at http://johnritchie.blogini.com
