CotterWeb Enterprises (http://www.cotterweb.net/index.php) owns two of the better get paid to read/survey/trial offer/game/shopping sites, Inbox Dollars (http://www.yesfree.com/clicktracker/c.php?k=1.361.60) and Send Earnings (http://www.yesfree.com/clicktracker/c.php?k=1.198.23). They are identical for the most part and so they will be treated under the same thread.
Both allow you to earn $0.50 (formerly $1.00 until March 2008) per survey, 2 cents per click and to sign up for various offers, as well as other activities, such as playing games, shopping for cash refunds and referrals, that I am less familiar with. There is a limit of one survey each per day from each site for a total of $30 per month, if you are careful. Don't make the mistake of taking surveys from Greenfield Online, an affiliate of CotterWeb, for sweepstakes entries before you have completed your InboxDollar and SendEarning (http://www.yesfree.com/clicktracker/c.php?k=1.198.23)surveys for the day, because every time you complete a Greenfield Online survey you have one less chance at earning $0.50 from these two companies.
The most important things you need to know about these two companies is that they each have a $30 minimum pay out point, which is reachable within a reasonable amount of time. They each charge a $3 'processing fee' for the first check they send out. They have a two month waiting period from the time you request your money until the time they 'process' and send out your check. I requested my first check from InboxDollars on May 1 and received it on June 7. The processing date was listed as June 2. Once you receive your first check for $30 you also receive your Gold Membership (http://www.sendearnings.com/members/become_gold_member), which offers these benefits.
Weekly Payments
As a Gold Member, you can start requesting your checks to be processed on a weekly basis, rather than a monthly schedule.
More Referral Rewards
Every time a new member joins SendEarnings® (http://www.yesfree.com/clicktracker/c.php?k=1.198.23) without being referred, they are placed in a pool of new non-referred members. Your Gold Membership guarantees you a portion of these “referrals.”
Double Sweepstakes Entries
Your Gold Membership gives you an additional Sweepstakes entry for each entry you earn, which doubles your chances to win!
Exclusive Monthly Offer
Gold Members have access to exclusive monthly offers that only Gold Members can view and enjoy.
Here is some information about Cotter-Web Enterprises.
CotterWeb Enterprises, Inc. was established in 2000 with the founding of InboxDollars.com. We have subsequently acquired SendEarnings.com and are headquartered in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, a suburb of Saint Paul. We provide our members a compelling way to be rewarded while engaging in various product and service trials, surveys and other online activities, such as shopping and casual gaming. We provide advertisers and market research firms an efficient means to reach a targeted online audience.
InboxDollars.com and SendEarnings.com (http://www.yesfree.com/clicktracker/c.php?k=1.198.23) are among the leading consumer online loyalty sites in the U.S., with a combined membership base of more than 5 million. We are actively increasing the number of members and major advertisers using our service. As we have grown, we have added considerable talent to our team and currently employ approximately 30 people.
CotterWeb was founded in 2000 by Daren Cotter. As a Computer and Information Systems major at Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minn., Cotter was inspired to become a part of the rapidly growing Internet advertising industry and as a result, he created the Web site InboxDollars.com. The business model revolved around “Getting Paid to Read E-mail.” It allowed members to receive email ads targeted to their interests and to be rewarded for reading and responding to the ads. This enabled advertisers to reach consumers with specific demographic backgrounds and guaranteed visits to their Web sites. The site was built in June of 2000 and was immediately profitable, enabling Cotter to support himself while completing his degree.
In 2004, InboxDollars left the dorm room with Cotter, and with his additional time and effort the business grew from six-figure revenue in 2003, to seven-figure revenue in 2004. At this point Cotter brought on trusted friends, Mike Murzyn, Brian Erickson and Joe Sosa, who are all still key members of the CotterWeb Team. Together they continued to build the business and in 2005 and 2006, key managers were brought on board to further develop the business. Seasoned business leader Jack Johnson was brought on as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to joining the company, Johnson was Chief Executive Officer of Active IQ, a NASDAQ-listed company, which was subsequently acquired by Stellent. Keith Olson was brought on as well and is Vice President of Business Development. Prior to joining CotterWeb, Olson worked in the Institutional Securities Group at Morgan Stanley in New York. In 2008, Chip Cuccio joined the company as Chief Technology Officer. Prior, he was the Director of E-commerce and Web Marketing at Jostens.
