What is GPT? GPT tips.

well recently i have talked a lot about gpt to offers. An well if you are leaning in this direction i wanted to give a few tips an inform you of what your "really" getting into. First of all there are all sorts of offers. Some where you just fill in your zip code. Some you just fill in your email address. Some ask you to take a survey. An then some go into more details like wanting your name and home address. There are some offers where you do a free trial (these will ask you for all your information).An there are offers that will want your credit card an want you to pay for the product.

Here are the disadvantages of offers

1. you have to keep track of every offer you do. if you do the same one twice. meaning lets say you did at offer at who.com an then you do an offer at guess.com an the offer is the exact same thing. If they realize this offer has been done at both sites then both sites will consider your a cheater an kick you off of there site an i mean both sites!

2.although you did an offer don't mean it will accredit. lots of offers do not credit no matter what you do.

Here some personal tips i recommend

1. My first tip is to make a new email account. When doing offers it is important because they will send tons of spam to that email account

2. Don't do offers where you got to pay. trust me you will spend more then you will gain. An sometimes offers don't get accredited so you could spend the money an get nothing in return

3. I recommend sticking to doing email address and zip code offers because you don't got to give out personal information.

4.When doing offers try to join a site that has a section on the left or right hand side called "last accrediting offers".You don't HAVE to join a site to find this out, when you go to the home page you should see it. If you don't then they don't have it. The reason you should join sites with a last accrediting offers section is because it tells you the last offers people got credit for an if they got credit for it most likely if you do it you will get credit to!

5. When doing offers give your real information.when you sign up for a site make sure you use the information you signed up with to do the offers because if what you filled in the offer an what you filled in when you signed up for the site are different they will ban you for that! However, on most offers (and most websites) you can fake your phone number by using a old phone number or you can sign up for the site an they give you a phone number for free. I don't know a lot about it since i usually use a old phone number i use to have. But there are sites made for GPT offers. I don't know of a site personally. i would really check out ambers blog on the right hand side if you wanted that information because i know she knows of one atleast. An you can also use a different email address if you do the strickly email address ones, they don't care if you used the email address you signed up with or not

6. Make sure to keep the window (or website) open long enough. If you close the window to soon you might not get credit because how offers works is they are tracked based on your connection to there site. So if the site don't track that you been on the site then you wont get credit. An it takes a site a few minutes to realize you where there and to write down an say hey rachel was here!. I recommend keeping the offer your doing window open for 5 to 10 minutes atleast, an if there are any other pop ups or windows associated that say something about the particular offer you are doing i recommend keeping those up as well for 5 to 10 minutes.

Besides that GPT offers are great if you don't mind giving out information an keeping track of the offers you do. Amber wrote a blog on the very subject and had some great advice that i didn't even think of, an also her blog inspired me to write a gpt section for my blog in case anyone is interested in going that direction. Here is ambers advice

Did you know that you are only supposed to complete an offer once? I actually didn’t figure that out very quickly in the beginning. Thankfully I started out only working one site and didn’t duplicate any offers.


What do I mean by completing an offer only once? For instance if I do “My Insider Deals, Free sample of Dove body Wash” on site X I cannot do the same offer on site Y. Once an offer is completed on any site it cannot be duplicated on any other site. Chances are if you accidentally do it once you are not going to get banned but if you continue to do it you are at risk of being marked cheater and banned from the site.


So how do you keep up with the offers you have completed? Many people do it different ways. Some write down all their completed offers in a notebook. Some rely on memory (my memory is not that good). I personally use 2 excel spreadsheets.


Spreadsheet 1: At the top of each column is the name of the sites I am using. When I complete an offer and it is pending I just add it in to the appropriate column. Once I check the site and see that the offer has been approved I move to my second spreadsheet.


Spreadsheet 2: At the top of each column are the types of offers. “My Insider Deals”, “Brandarama”, and so on. I type the completed offer in the correct column on this sheet and delete it from sheet 1.

It may seem time consuming but it will help you keep track of everything and once you get going you will do it very quickly.

If the spreadsheet thing seems like too much work then just have a notebook at your desk and jot down any offers you have completed.
