How To Build A Nest Egg
So you live paycheck to paycheck and you want to make a nest egg, so what do you do? I'm going to give you a no nonsense approach that anyone can make money online.
If you can operate a mouse you can do this. We will be discussing how to make money on gpt websites or "Get Paid To". These sites pay you to do a variety of things.
I will be discussing Treasuretrooper.com. If you aren't a member you can sign up here or just click on the banner at the top. I will discuss the varied ways to make money on this site as well some forbidden items.
Treasure Trooper is very hush hush with some items, which I will expose the secrets later on. I will discuss everything on the site and then tell you what I feel works best.
Lets dig in shall we?
CASH OFFERS
There are many different kinds of offers: 100% Free, Free Trials, Shopping, and Credit Cards.
Unfortuanately, if you don't have a credit card, you are basically restricted to the 100% Free section. However, and I give credit to if you get a Visa Gift Card, you can use it as a credit card on offers.
This means that if you get a Visa Gift Card with just $5, you can do all the Free Trial offers that don't require any money (you can get these from Mabutu)
If you have more than one email address, it is good to switch them up between offers, as that is also a method of increasing verification odds.
Don't do all the low-paying offers all in one day. This decreases your chances of verification. If you do 5 a day, then wait till the next day, you have a better chance of verification.
CURRENCY
Lets talk about currency to get things started
After each offer has approved along with the cash value of the offer you also receive gold coins.
Gold coins can be used to buy items at Mabutus Hut and for Jungle Slots
Also after you complete an offer you have a chance to win a pearl from the pearl game. Hidden in 1 of 3 clams is a pearl that can be used to buy the friendship bracelet at Mabutu's Hut, can you find it?
Some offers don't pay out in cash and gold coins, but instead pay out in Platinum Coins. Platinum coins can also be used at Mabutus Hut to buy Gift Cards, an iPod, and even an XBox360!
Keep in mind offers can take from 1 day-2 weeks to approve. Try to avoid panic attacks because after an hour an offer hasn't approved.
For those of you who are confused on how to complete the freebie offers heres a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to fully complete an offer (NOTE: Although you dont need to fully complete an offer to have it credit, the farther you go the better the chance of approval):
The opening page will have you enter either a zip code or email address. USE TRUTHFUL INFORMATION HERE.
Personal Information
This page is where you enter your personal information. Name, address, location, age, and gender are required. USE TRUTHFUL INFORMATION HERE.
Yes&No Sections
After the Personal Information section, you will come across sections asking you if you want additional information on certain products. These are known as the Yes&No parts of offers. On average you can expect from 3-6 Yes&No sections per offer.
Additional Offers
In between the Yes&No sections are additional full page offers. All you have to do is scroll down and "skip" the offer, or fill out the information and hit "submit".
Silver, Gold, and Platinum offers
Once you pass the Yes&No section of the offer you'll stumble upon the "silver, Gold" and Platinum offers. You do NOT need to complete this offers for TreasureTrooper's approval, so if you want to not do any of these offers that is fine. Just scroll down and hit the highlighted link shown above. (NOTE: the links are at the bottom of each page, although they are different per page.)
Shopping
The Shopping section allows you to receive cashback on everyday purchases.
TreasureTrooper is affiliated with hundreds of merchants who will give you a percentage of cashback on things you buy everday. Since you already buy this stuff, why not do it through TreasureTrooper?
You can save between just $1 on somethings while you can save more than $10 on other purchases. Don't say "oh, well the savings are so low it's not worth it.
If you start buying all your stuff on TreasureTrooper, you will save hundreds of dollars over the months. I personally have saved $37.
Daily Surveys
Daily Surveys allow you to fill out...well daily surveys for $.75 every time. You can only take 1 every day and they can last from 5-30 minutes in length. You wont get credited until you end up at the TreasureTrooper "Congrats" screen (below). .

Referrals
Everybody wants referrals. Why? It's free money! Everyone wants to collect on what other people earn.
On TreasureTrooper, you get 20% of what your first level referrals earn through offers (only those that pay money, not platinum coins, scales, or arrowheads) and shopping, and 5% of what your second levels earn from those same sources.
You only earn the percentage of the offers that are verified, not their referral earnings or offers pending.
How do you get referrals? There are a number of ways. The most popular is posting on forums.
This is not easy as it sounds. Most of the time, you are ridiculed and labeled a spammer for posting a referral link. I've found that if you make 10-15 posts, then make a casual TreasureTrooper post on the forum, you'll make a lot more. Don't hide your referral link, it makes you look suspicious.
Say something like "here's my referral link, I get 20% of whatever you make (as a bonus). Feel free to remove the extension and sign up regularly, I'm just trying to help out."
People probably won't remove the extention, because you are not being sneaky and since you have already made preliminary posts, you are not thought of as a spammer.
Speaking of second levels, focus on getting them, too. Now you might ask "how do I focus on getting second level referrals?"
Well, here's a great tip. Find webmasters will relatively big or budding sites, and explain to them about TreasureTrooper and
how it can make them money. Have them sign up under you and put their referral link on their site, and the second levels
will start rolling in. It might only get you 5%, but there is power in numbers.
You can also see all your referrals under the "Contact my Referrals" link on your My Treasure Page. Once the new page
opens you will see all you referrals plus colored circles next to each number. Heres a key to what they mean:
Payment Options
TreasureTrooper pays by check and PayPal
How Payment Works
The offers that you completed for each month will be processed around the 15th of the next month and sent out shortly after.
(Example "Month A"'s payment will be processed on the 15th of "Month B" and will be sent in the next few weeks). Offers can be approved in the same month as payment, but must be
completed in the previous month.
Example 1If you complete $25 in offers in February but only
$20 worth are approved before the 15th of March, you will receive $20 at the end of March.
Example 2: If you have $10 in offers approved for February and $10 in offers approved for March, you will receive $20 at the end of April.
Example 3: If you complete $20 in offers in February and none are approved until after the last day in February, but all are approved before March 15th; you will still receive $20 at the end of March.
Reasons for nonpayment:
/\ You have not reached the minimum payout of $20 for this month.
\/ Fix: You will need to wait until next month to receive payment, and you need to read the "How it works" part above, again.
/\ You have not entered your check information fully/correctly.
\/ Fix: Go to My Account and fill in your full name and address.
/\ You did not receive a Paypal payment and have met the $20 minimum the previous month.
\/ Fix: Your Paypal account is most likely not verified. Either verify your account or change you settings to receive a check.

$100 Treasure Hunt
Launched in March of 2007 the $100 Treasure Hunt is the most talked about features in the TreasureTrooper community. Once you buy 4 map pieces from Mabutu (40 gold coins total), you can begin your quest by clicking on the blue link below the map that reads "Go on Treasure Hunt" (below)
After you click the link you can begin your journey to recover the Lost Statue of the Mambiko Tribe. It will take brains, guts, and a little luck to get through the Hunt, but once you finish, you'll be glad you took the chance.
PAYPAL
What is Paypal? Paypal is a form of taking payments and receiving payments online.
Most get paid to websites accept Paypal. This is going to be the fastest way to get paid.
I'm not sure how long it would take to get a check and there is a chance post office may lose your check.
You can set up your account to deposit into your bank account.
You can get your free account by clicking Paypal. If you need help setting up this account, please watch the video below
