Matrix Mails
Intro
MatrixMails is one of the numerous paid emails sites roaming the vast plains of the internet. Paying anywhere from 1 to 4 cents per email, it may seem like they have the highest incentive to click, yet things are not always the way they seem.
Earning Potential
At 1 to 4 cents per paid email, MatrixMail has the one of the highest theoretical yields I have found. In reality, their system is quite dubious. The site sells itself based off of the idea that you get paid to read emails, though the problem is the emails are like the proverbial big foot, nowhere to be found. I have received approximately 3 emails since I signed up for MatrixMails, which leads me to my next point, the emails themselves. The emails are not in fact what you get paid for. Instead, the emails alert you that you should log in to your MatrixMails account, then log into your MatrixMails email to read mail. For savvy users who can forward email, this shouldn't be a problem, catch is there is no forwarding option. Aside from the pain of trying to earn by clicking emails, I have found that the true reason for the site lies in the "free offers". These free offers are anything from credit checks to stamps, but to put it in perspective if you get $10.00 for signing up for a game rental service, and you have to pay $5.99 for the trial, then your earning is $4.01. And do you really think that they are going to allow you to leave that easily?
Payment
As far as payment goes, I cannot currently make a statement. I have yet to show any credit within my account, even though I have clicked on all three ads I have received so far. Time will tell, and I will update if and when the time comes.
Business Model
MatrixMails will most likely be around for a while due to the fact that the majority of their income is from their "free trials". As far as a userbase goes, I don't believe that they will be able to keep their customers sedate enough to hold on to them. I believe that the poorly implemented email model as well as a low output email count will ultimately cost them a large percentage of their customers.
Spam
I am going to consider all three of the emails that I have received from MatrixMails as spam, because they were not in fact paid emails. Instead, they were notices that I could get paid if I logged in, and since even after I did that I still didn't get paid, I cannot in all truthfulness recommend this service to anyone.
