Anyone who belongs to even one GPT site has got to join this new community. Independent World Community (IWC) is an interactive forum with the potential to be great! I've already gotten great advice and tips on blogging to promote your GPT referral links. The admin, Lisa, is great! She quickly answers her email and has lots of great advice for just about any aspect of GPT.
The forum is new, so new that there are just a few members so far. We need to get experienced and new GPTers alike to join and help make this a great community that everyone can feel comfortable at.

GPT Tip: Disposable Email Address

Completing offers on GPT sites requires a legitimate email address. Entering a legitimate email address for these offers produces hundreds, if not thousands, of spam emails a day from the advertisers. To avoid having to deal with these spammy emails in your regular email account, sign up for a disposable email address.
Gmail is excellent for this purpose! Not only is it capable of handling the huge amount of emails, it allows you to make several addresses out of one account. This is important when doing several offers from the same advertiser. Let me explain.
Say your email address is abc123@gmail.com. Gmail lets you add a "."(without the quotes) anywhere you want in the address before the "@". For example: a.bc123@gmail.com or abc.123@gmail.com. This allows you to enter a valid, different email address for your similar offers, and it will still be mailed to one account. The abc123@gmail.com account!
One other thing I suggest when signing up with Gmail, try to make your username as long as possible so you have many places to put the ".", and you'll get the most out of your email address. When you've used the address as much as you can, start all over and make yourself a new one. Believe me, this is important for getting your offers to approve. If you use the same address every time, the advertisers will not approve you.
Hopefully this information helps you get those offers completed. Good luck!

The End of Summer Fishing

The end has come once again. The end of the summer fishing season, that is. The boat is out of the river, winterized, tarped, and stored for the winter. It's kind of depressing, actually. It means that winter isn't too far off. The cold weather, the freezing winds, and the snow. I think the snow is the worst part of it.

On the other hand, winter brings the ice fishing season. Taking the shanty out on the lake, cranking up the old propane heater, drinking beer, and hanging out with friends. Sometimes my wife will cook a big pot of chili to put over the heater for us guys to chow down on at lunch time. Man, it doesn't get much better than that!

I've got to get the old shack out of storage and get the flat tire fixed. It's probably time to think about putting some new tires on it too. I've also got to remember to get my sturgeon spearing license before the end of this month so I can be ready for the season opener the second weekend in February. Hopefully we'll have enough ice by then. With this screwy weather, you never know.

Just yesterday, we had 70º. Today we're fighting to reach 50º! That's Wisconsin for ya. I remember when we used to be on the ice before Christmas. Not so anymore. The last few years have barely produced enough ice by February for sturgeon spearing!

Before we know it, it'll be Thanksgiving and then the beginning of the Christmas season. Time sure does fly the older I get. Hardly seems like there's time enough to do everything I intend to do.

Anyway, on to another season. More time for family and friends this time of year. Isn't that what it's all about anyway?

Here's a picture of my two boys with some of the fish we caught this summer on Lake Michigan.

Payment Proof!

How I Make Money On The Internet

I earn a decent amount of money belonging to GPT sites on the internet. GPT stands for Get-Paid-To, meaning get paid to complete offers, surveys, and trials. There are many GPT sites out there that are legitimate, with friendly managers and staff. You see, the site owners don't make any money unless you make money, so they are usually very happy to help in any way to insure you make money.
On the left sidebar of this page, you'll find a list of all the sites that I belong to and make money off of. I've gotten paid from all of them, so I know they are legitimate. Each site runs on the same principle, meaning the process is pretty much the same for all. The differences between the sites include payouts per offer, payout schedules, contests, and referral commissions.
Signing up to these sites and participating is an easy way to make free money. Membership to all of these sites is free. You don't have to dish out any money to make money with these sites. There are a ton of free offers to be completed that won't cost you anything. On the other hand, there are trial offers to complete too, that may or may not require a credit card. It's totally up to you which offers you choose to complete, and how much time you invest in the process.
As an added bonus, getting others to sign up under you to complete offers on these sites, will earn you money also. You'll receive a percentage of your referrals earnings as well as your own. Some sites only pay out one level for referrals, while others pay out as much as two or three! So, it's to your advantage to sign up referrals under you. It's free money that you don't even have to work for! Who wouldn't love that!
I'm going to highlight each site in seperate posts, detailing the rules and FAQ for each one. I'll list special promotions as they come available, such as contests or anything else they are offering.
I recommend signing up for at least two of these sites. The only thing I stress, and I mean REALLY STRESS, is to be careful not to complete the same offer twice. Some offers will be repeated on more than one site, and completing the offer more than once is considered fraud. Not only will your offer be denied, you run the risk of getting banned and any money you have pending payout will be denied also. Something else to remember, only one account per household, per site. Only sign into your accounts on one computer, and don't let anyone else sign in at your house.
Ok, that's about it for now. There are a few tips and tricks I've learned along to way to help with offers approving, and I'll be adding them here as I go along. Be sure to bookmark this blog for updated information, tips and tricks, and an inside look into my life!

A Little About Me

My name is Mike. I'm a father of three, married 11 years next week. I'm a machinist by day, and a GPT fanatic by night. I'll be explaining the GPT thing soon, so stick with me! We live in a small community in Wisconsin, surrounded by farmland and cows as far as the eye can see. While city living isn't my thing, country living can get boring sometimes, which is one of the reasons I've turned to the internet. I'm getting ahead of myself. Back to me.....
I'm an avid fisherman with two boats. One an 18ft that I use for fishing the smaller lakes for walleye, and one a 24ft that I use for fishing Lake Michigan for King Salmon, Lake Trout, and Rainbow Trout. If I'm not working, I'm fishing. Even in the winter! I break out the ice shanty, cut a hole in the ice and fish. I look forward to February every year when the sturgeon spearing season opens. There's nothing better than sitting by that huge hole, waiting for that big, prehistoric fish to swim through! Speaking of which, I have to remember to get my license before the end of this month!
This is my favorite time of year. I'm a HUGE football fan. Ranking right up there with sturgeon spearing is high school football. My oldest son plays on the Junior Varsity football team at the high school. Sitting in the stands watching him play makes me so proud! His games are on Thursday nights, and then the two of us bundle up and head to the school again on Friday nights for the Varsity game. Our Varsity team is 5-1 right now, heading to the playoffs next week. We'll be there too, I'm sure!
Talking about football, the oldest boy and I went to the Packer game this past Sunday at Lambeau Field. What a rush that was! The Packers won, 17-14. We had pretty good seats, about 50 rows up in the corner of the endzone. We didn't get up there in enough time to tailgate like most people do, but you can bet we'll make it earlier next time. That looks like a heck of a good time!
Ok. so there's a little about me. Nothing special and I don't claim to be. Just a man, with a blog, that feels like he might have something to say that might either interest people or maybe even help people.
