yeah i have tried a lot of those and I have gotton credit for all of them pretty quickly. The ones that I generally do are the ones that are for checking your credit.

This would explain, in part, why I had such a hard time crediting in the beginning. Once I bit the bullet and paid for offers I really wanted, then crediting was very smooth.

Thanks for the heads up - if later for me - I can help my Refs now.

So,here's a question I ponder...if the $1 may or may not credit then for someone looking to green fairly quickly, would be better to do another offer - then can someone tell me much "cash" is typically (I know it can vary from offer to over...I'm looking on average) is expended for an offer? I can't seem to find any clear answers other than read the offer etc... are there any estimates?

Hi binks40,

There are several offers that are in the $5 to $10 range. I will, again say, look at the offers on each site and compare. Also take into account how much you get paid for the site and how much the credit weights are when determining which offers to do on which sites.

You will see some for $20 .. a few for more. But I would say there are many that are $5ish and $10ish.

Hope that helps :)

I would like to add, that after you have done a lot of offers, you may find yourself having to pay as much or more than you are being paid for a site in order to green. This has happened to me, but in the long run, I have made the money back because I have the 1 referral sites that have kept me afloat. Waiting to cash out one of my Trainn sites. Hopefully this week as soon as the offer credits :)

This is true. The more offers you do, the more money you need to spend to go green. That is why it's a good idea to trade with people who offer higher than 50% payouts and are also willing to help you cover some of the cost of any replacement offer you might end up having to do. It's always nice to come out with SOME profit after going green.

I think of the expenses of the offers above the payout as that much I did not have to pay for the offers themselves. Each one, is something I wanted, and would have tried anyway. The idea that there is a payout for these, is like saving money, and then I get to make money on the effort I had just put in.

thanks for the info....i wish i knew when i first started...but its great to know...

I actually track in my spreadsheet:

the cost of the offer,

the adjusted cost (after any return shipping charges or refunds), and

the cost for the offer alone. If I would have spent $20 on that handbag anyway, and I paid $23, then this would be $3.

This thread has a lot of good info. Your idea is really smart. I am going to do that now myself. You have so much info to absorb when you begin and not all of it registers. I wish I better understood this when I began.
