Free to What Degree

Let me start off by saying that since SendEarnings and InboxDollars are both owned by the same company and look almost identical in every way possible, I will be rating these sites the same and in the same post. Both sites are considered Paid to Click sites. They send you ads through e-mails and you get paid a small portion for clicking on those ads. They also have options for taking surveys, free trial offers, games and referrals as a way to make more money. They also have a "gold membership" which has a few nice perks if you spend the time to become a gold member.

First and foremost, if you plan to do either of these sites, I would strongly suggest you get a new e-mail address so you don't get flooded with paid e-mails from these sites. They send out numerous paid e-mails every single day. While clicking e-mails sounds easy, the money won't come flowing in if you do only that. You can also take surveys which could earn you additional cash. However, most, if not all of the higher paying items require a trial membership or subscription or additional fees, making them basically pointless if you are looking to get stuff for FREE. Also, the so-called "Cash Games" are anything but what they seem like. You can play games, but to win any money, you must first add money to bet with. While the game site does have free contests for prizes every once in a blue moon, you have to be insanely good to even have a shot at winning.

Here is a side-by-side look at both sites navigation bars. As you can see, they are nearly identical.

Here is my SendEarngings account:

Notice that I've clicked 260 e-mails to earn $5.20 (or $0.02 per click).

Here is my InboxDollars account:

Notice that I've clicked 304 e-mails to earn $6.08 (or $0.02 per click).

OK, on to the ratings...

My overall rating of these sites is...

If you can look past the fact that all the good earning opportunities require you to subscribe to something, get a trial membership to or pay a fee for something, or even look past that you have to pay first before you can earn money from the games, these sites make it very simple to earn free money. While you won't be rolling in piles of money anytime soon, or really anytime at all, it is as easy as clicking in an e-mail or taking a survey to start earning yourself some money. The $30 cash out limit is pretty high, considering you only get $0.02 per e-mail. If all you did was e-mails, you'd have to click 1500 ads to get to $30 (if you don't count the $5 sign up bonus you get when you start). However, you automatically become a gold member once you reach the $30 limit and get your first check. Gold Member perks include weekly payments, referral pool rewards, double sweepstakes entries and exclusive monthly offers. These sites don't take much of your time to click the e-mails and complete a survey here and there. So, if you happen to have some spare time, why not click a few things and earn some stuff while doing it. You can click each of the banners at the top of the page to sign up for each site.
