HAVE you ever wondered whether those online offers that pop up on your computer screen will really pay hundreds of dollars for trying their product? One expert shopper can confidently say: "Yes, they do."
Carrie Koors, a 34-year-old mom of three who authors a Website called moneysavingmethods.com, said she has received around US$19,000 from these offers in the past three years.
On her site, Koors has created a list of the online offers she has used or researched, and has tips for others about how to navigate the process safely.
She said the companies will ask you to try different products, most of them for free. "They want to get their products in front of you," she said, "and they will reward you."
Koors said initially she was reticent about taking part. "I really wanted a flat-screen TV," she said of the first time she decided to try the offers. "I looked into it, and received a US$2,000 cheque.
"If I wouldn't have been so desperate for a TV, I probably wouldn't have clicked," she said. Koors cautioned that "not all of the companies are legit. So, don't sign up without researching."
She said one of the best companies to deal with is called Ideal Direct Interactive, which also can be identified as Top Notch Media Inc. The only way to get to this site and others like it is by clicking on an ad or a link from a Website, such as moneysavingmethods.com. She said that the Ideal site is easy and pays out within four months.
In addition to these, Koors has a great deal of information on her site that can help you save and earn money. It also has a special feature called Method Madness Marathon, which offers daily "homework" about ways to save money.
