Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
The name of the Company is PROJECT PAYDAY! and has nothing at ALL to do with whatever I had to put in the stupid company box. They will not let me enter the words PROJECT PAYDAY. So I am doing it this way (grrr)

This company says it's quick, easy and cheap or free to start. It's 34.95 to start. (relatively cheap comparitively)

You know all those offers you get in your junk/spam mail ~ saying "free plasma t.v. or free Powershot Cannon digital camera, just click here" When you click there, it turns out that you CAN get the camera for free IF you fill out three offers from thier sponsers.

YOu do NOT get the camera unless you fill out the offers, complete the offers and you are approved by the sponser! So, this means you can go ahead and sign up for the cheap offers, like trail net flix for $5.00 (yes you spend the five dollars) and Disney DVD's for a dollar, yes you spend the dollar, and blockbuster for $3.95.

Now, these are all trail offers, and you have indeed paid them thier money and agreed to a trail. IF you cancel the next day, then you are kicked off of that site. So, you have to wait until the 29th day or so in order to cancel. You will FORGET and you will be billed full price from all three companies.

If you do not forget great, but now think again, you will do this every day, this is your income. How many :"free" sponser offers can you REALLY fill out each day and keep track of with out forgetting one or two and end up paying full price for them!

Okay, so project payday does the same thing ~ only they pay you apx $25.00 to fill out the offers (as opposed to sending you the free camera or t.v.) The Project Pay Day People get the t.v. or the camera, not you. BUt who cares cuz. you get $25.00 per offer that you fill out. Well, if you were to do that all day everyday, you would run out of offers to fill out. Hekc if you were to do it even a few hours every day you will run out of offers.

Not only that, seriously, you will forget, PLUS it's risky (like gambling) because sometimes the sponsers will not let you out of it. Say AS an EXAMPLE "uncle freds pet meds" gave you a free 30 day trial. The fine print said "only in Ohmaha, all others have only 15 days, after which time you will be billed on your credit card for $199.00 per month for a one year term" In your hurry and desperation to make that $25.00 from project payday, you don't see that part.

Plus, those sponsers won't accept a nice safe temperary card to do these things, NO, they want your credit card number. That means that you will have your credit card number bandied about the internet n various forums at least 2 times a day every day. EVentually you WILL get suckered and you will be a victom of identity theft.

Please don't do this. It's very risky.

I will admit, I have not tried it yet but have been researching it and it does appear to be legit. A scam, by definition, is a fraudulent business scheme. This isnt fraudulent. It doesnt claim you will make millions by doing nothing. It is upfront and honest BUT, you do have to do some work and keep track of what you are doing and put some effort in to see results... that is not a scam, it's called a JOB!

Hi, Thanks for the report! I couldn't agree with you more! After extensive research I lost more than I actually gained through earning any kind of credit?! Like you said, its hard to keep track of which offer you did or did not sign up for, cuz they are very similar and ran by the same company too. I'm trying to finish this one referral link before quitting at the end of this week, hopefully get it done and cancel everything that I don't even need. This site is great for people who loves to shop and browse through millions of offers after offers, but it's just not for beginners. I must admit, that everyone is extremely friendly and there were tons of help being offered. I wouldn't say it was 100% scam, but it takes a lot of time and patience to gain anything back.

that's how you make an income, not just by getting paid to do offers 4. ask questions if you don't understand - there are hundreds of great people working there who help you with everything I have been there for months now and I'm addicted to log on first thing in the morning, checking my messages and getting ready to TRADE. This is so much extra income which could help everyone. I wish everyone good luck and contact me with questions, I will help

-->

That happens if you don't read the tutorials and the rules 1. If you forget to call an offer - your fault 2. before you sign up for an offer you read the Terms of Service 3. people pay you to sign up on the site and complete offers and once you have done that you go around and get other people to do the same for you --> that's how you make an income, not just by getting paid to do offers 4. ask questions if you don't understand - there are hundreds of great people working there who help you with everything I have been there for months now and I'm addicted to log on first thing in the morning, checking my messages and getting ready to TRADE.

Project Payday is not a scam as you can make money from following the Project Payday guide. Strictly, Project Payday is not really necessary to make money this way, but it does provide good information and is how most people find out about the incentivized freebie websites and how to profit from them. Since this person is misinformed about how this opportunity works, in a nutshell, it works like this: you sign up on for a freebie site under me using my unique referral link and you complete enough sponsor offers to complete the offer requirements (typically one or two for a starter site) which is also called "go green." I will pay you much more than you have spent in offers. You profit. After you have gone green on this freebie site, and been paid by me, you are eligible to refer people on your own to this site, and this site will pay you for each person you refer who goes green, just as you did, over and over again. Referring others to freebie sites and getting paid each time one of them goes green is where the long term income potential of the Project Payday model lies, not in completing offers for others, although this is how most people should start (because you need to be green on a few of these sites first and should know how the process works.) Project Payday is also very up front in saying that this opportunity will not make you rich, but you can make a nice income for yourself if you are patient and actually do the work entailed. I started through Project Payday in July of 2007 and I now earn an average of $2000 a month simply by paying others to be my referral on freebie sites. So it DOES work and is NOT A SCAM.

apparently the program hasnt been fully researched. it does pay. you wont get rich and they tell you that, but you can make money. i have and am making money on project payday. yes you have to spend a little money, and depending on the trader you contract with you can make some good money for that little bit spent. like and business you have to watch what you are doing. balance what you pay for the offers against what the trader is paying you. keep a log of the trials, when you sign up, how long it lasts and how to cancel. you are supposed to try the offers not just sign up and cancel. this is advertising for the companies in the offers. and these free gifts, what you apparently didnt get into, is that the sites that these free gifts are on will also pay cash for each referral that you send them. the traders will pay you %50 or more of this cash pay out to complete offers for them. so if the offers you do are more than what the agreed paymet is, of course you are going to lose money. some of the sites will also do free credits if you sign up unreferred, which means that any referral you send them is clear profit. all you spend is what you agreed to pay someone to do the credits for you. of all the internet work at home businesses that i have tried and researched over the past few years, this is the only one that i have found that actually works. what you make depends on you and how much time and effort you want to do. there is no such thing as get rich quick, unless you win a lottery, you have to work for it. you have to be patient and follow through with it. apparently these people didnt follow through, or got to the part about paying for offers and went no further. i am telling you that it works. i use it as a supplemental income. both my husband and i were laid off. all we had was his retirement check once a month. this program is helping us get through, to pay bills we otherwise wouldnt be able to pay. apparently these people have no patience or perserverence or they would have seen that it does work. i would recommend this program to anyone.
