The darker side of GPT offers: What they don't tell you

Labels: ,

When people write blogs regarding making money online, they never point out the negatives. I like to do things a little differently. Sometimes GPT offers are a pain in the ass due to a number of factors, and I'm going to list these and tell you what you can do to fight the darker parts of the GPT world.

Excuse me while I unleash Pop-Ups everywhere
You start filling in your information, click next and them WHAM! 5 Pop-Ups appear from nowhere advertising something you really don't care about. The best thing to do is to close them in quick succession, as Pop-Up blockers don't do much nowadays.

No...no...no, no, no, no no no no NO NO NO!
You come to a page where you have to click any other offers you are interested in, and naturally you wish to click 'no' to them all. I do as I've seen all these offers before and have done most of them to get money on GPT sites. It's time consuming to click them each individually, so the best solution is to get RoboForm. You click 'no' to one offer and on RoboForm you select Fields --> Set Fields. Then all of them are filled in for you! It saves you a lot of time and effort.

You can't use RoboForm
RoboForm automatically fills your details into a site with one click, and can select all those pesky offers as 'no' instantly. However some GPT sites ban its use, and if you are known to have used RoboForm in completing an offer then your accounts can be deleted. I never understood this rule, as long as RoboForm is putting in your REAL information then why should it matter? The only way around this asinine rule is to fill everything in manually, which is irritating to say the least.

You took all this time to get to the end of the offer? I think I'll just break on you
My word is this an annoying one. You've spent the best part of 10 minutes completing an offer, only for the final page to be broken by a bad link or downtime. This has happened to me on more than one occasion and there isn't too much you can do. The best things to do are refresh the page a lot just in case it may magically appear, or report the offer on whatever GPT site you were linked from.

ian.smileymedia.GO AWAY
Almost all offers you do in which you enter competitions will direct you to this horrible website known as ian.smileymedia.com. Here you are given a whole bundle of terrible pages asking you to input personal information such as mobile phone numbers and addresses, some of which is automatically inputted already as an incentive. Most of these pages are shady and you just want to get through them as quickly as possible. They are displayed in the most visually unappealing way and the only way to get past them is to click 'skip' or 'pass' on each page. The worst thing is that that particular button KEEPS MOVING LOCATION so you have to relocate to where it is on every page. The only thing you can really do is brave this accursed site and keep skipping anything and everything until you are through. I'm coming after you Ian.

Wait, don't go! A fake person wants to speak to you!
Sometimes you have to view certain ads to get your offers to approve. You view an ad and are just about to click it when a window pops up urging you not to leave the site. Another window appears with a chat box and an image of a smiling person wearing a headset, having you believe a staff member of the site is about to talk to you. This is almost always a lie and an infuriating technique used so viewers won't leave their site in a hurry. ALL I WANT TO DO IS GET OUT OF THERE. To leave the nightmare be prepared to click 2 or 3 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. Sometimes they're crafty and flip what the buttons actually do so you could find youself on the site AGAIN.

Unwanted Phone Calls
Most of the time you insert your details and everything is fine without any sign of a hitch. You may fill in one offer and a few days later you receive a phone call in which an asian man who knows your name is telling you about some product you don't give a damn about. This very rarely happens trust me, but if it does just tell them not to call again and put the phone down.

Confirming registration emails when the site never mentions it
A few days ago I completed an offer where I had to enter a competition. At the end of the offer the site congratulates me on entering. I believe the offer is done and so submit it, however I'm rather mistaken. Even if the site mentions no such thing, always check your emails after completing an offer in case there is a final registration email you need to look at. Your offers will not approve unless you complete registration.

You must click 'Yes' to at least one offer to continue
On the pages in which you want to click 'No' to all the offers, some sites MAKE YOU click 'Yes' to one in order to continue with the original offer. I think this is a stupid baiting trick and it gets me every time. To avoid large consequences click 'Yes' to an offer where you know you will only receive one email and not a torrent of phonecalls.

The money well is running dry
I remember back in the old days of SWATcash when entering a prize draw would reward you with $1. Today I saw a different prize draw from the same site in which the reward was $0.06. You can still make a good deal of money with GPT, however not as much as a few years ago.


Don't get me wrong, GPT sites are a great way of making money. Sometimes they can just be a little... tricky. With experience you can breeze through offers with no hesitation!
