GPT (Get Paid To) Step-By-Step

In an earlier post I introduced the idea of making some extra money by starting a GPT (Get Paid To) business and here are the simple steps to get that started. If you’re familiar with GPT and would like to see the companies that I’m registered with and get signed up you can go check out list of Legitimate GPT Companies. I’m here to help so ask your questions in the comments or you can contact me through the blog.
GPT Step-By-Step
- Set up at least 3-5 email addresses to use just for your GPT work. You might want to try Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and Gmail (Google). *Note: you could receive a lot of email and possibly spam so that’s why I suggest you set up separate email addresses for your GPT work.
- If possible, set up an online phone number/voicemail. You can try K7 or AIM (AOL) and see if they are still issuing free phone numbers. Try to get a phone number that is local to your area if possible … this will better your chances at getting accepted for work. *Note: you could receive a lot of phone calls and possibly unwanted solicitors so that’s why I suggest you set up an online phone number.
- If you don’t have a PayPal account you can set one up here: PayPal. Some companies will offer to pay you through PayPal and others will send you a check. If you chose to be paid through PayPal be sure to find out if there is a charge to be paid that way.
- Visit my list of the GPT companies that I recommend and click on the ones you want to participate in (might as well get set up with all of them – it’s free). The more you sign up for the more work you will get and the more money you will make!
- When you register with these GPT companies be sure you use all of your “real” information (name, address, and phone number). You can use one of the email addresses you just set up if you’d like but make sure you check that email address often so that you know when they are running specials or trying to communicate with you.
- When you are actually filling out surveys use your real information (name, address, age, gender, number and ages of kids, etc.) and then I suggest you use one of the email addresses you have set up just for this work.
- It is suggested that before and after each survey you clear/delete the “cookies” on your computer. You cannot set up multiple accounts on the same computer (IP address) and NEVER try to set up multiple accounts.
- Start out by completing “free” or “100% free” offers until you get the hang of it. You can make a lot more money by completing the trial offers but make sure you are ready to follow the steps necessary to do that. Let me know if you need some help.
GPT Do’s and Don’ts
Do’s
Set up 3-5 email addresses dedicated to your GPT business
Alternate between email addresses for different surveys and offers
Set up a dedicated online voicemail
Check email and voicemail often and complete work as quickly as possible
Set up a PayPal account to accept payments
Delete your “cookies” before each survey or offer
Don’ts
Don’t use your main email address (except when registering with the GPT companies)
Don’t use your home phone number when filling out survey info
Don’t use the same computer to set up multiple accounts
DO NOT try to set up multiple accounts
Q’s and A’s – You’ve Got Questions and I’ve Got Answers
Q. So what’s the catch?
A. There’s no “catch” ~ these companies need your help and they’re willing to pay for it.
Q. Are there any costs to get started?
A. There are NO costs to get started and, in fact, many of the GPT companies will even pay you a registration bonus as an incentive to try out their company. From time to time there are programs/offers where you can opt to try out a product on a trial basis. These sometimes require you to pay shipping (usually $2-$4) or to pay for a certain amount of service. Double check but these should pay you more than the fee required out of pocket … leaving you a profit.
Q. How often will these companies need my help?
A. Every company will have different needs and each will also take demographics into consideration. Every company, product and service will have a different market group they are looking for so just be patient.
Q. How often will I get paid?
A. Each company is different and you will need to read their payout terms. Some pay daily and some pay monthly. Also be aware that sometimes you will need to accrue a minimum amount to be cashed out and paid.
Q. Am I committed to certain hours or a certain number of surveys?
A. NO! That’s the beauty of doing GPT offers … You only work when you want to work and only participate when you’re interested in the work.
Q. Will I get paid more if I go directly to these companies instead of clicking on your affiliate links?
A. No. You will not make any more money by going directly to these companies. If you feel I have helped you with getting your GPT business started then I’d appreciate you using my links. If you decide you’d like to grow your income by referring others I’d be happy to help you get that set up too.
If you are ready to get started with a GPT business please follow these steps and be sure to contact me if you have any questions. If you’re on still deciding just let me know what would help you decide to move forward.

@ Joanna ~ thanks for asking … and let me clear that up. Some people will try to set up more than one account with the GPT companies so they can do the same surveys under two (or more) different names … and that is fraud. One thing I should point out is that the GPT companies are there to help us be successful … keep in mind … they don’t get paid unless WE get paid. If their referrals (us) are submitting fraudulent submissions they will lose their relationship with the advertisers … so we don’t want to do anything that jeopardizes those relationships. Let me know if that answers your question and thanks again for taking the time to ask. *SmiLes* Suzanne

I’ve always had the most luck with free email accounts using gmail and creating multiple gmail accounts. How many GPT’s are you suggesting, one for each email account? How many surveys will something like that equate to?
