Matrix Mails

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.

Intro
Since the first Bulletin Board Systems or BBS' started up, people have turned them from a website into a community. One such example is myLot. As a forum, myLot has a lot to bring to the table. With over 128,000 members, myLot always has a topic you would be interested in posting on.

Earning Potential
To put it bluntly, you will not get rich posting on myLot. For each post you make, you will earn anywhere from 1 to 3 cents, and for starting a thread you will earn 5 cents plus approximately 3 cents for each reply to your thread. Not only do you get paid when people post in your thread, but so to does the poster, a fact which makes myLot mutually beneficial to both parties.

Payment
Payment is paid through Paypal at either $1.00, $10.00, $50.00, or $100.00 automatically. There is no limit to how much or how little you must post, and any referrals you make will earn you 25% of what they received as a bonus for spreading the service.

Business Model
When you begin using myLot, you pick interests that will point you towards threads that you would be more inclined to post on. These interests also dictate what type of ads you will see on the page. Ads on myLot are unobtrusive, with usually one banner at the top and scattered text ads placed throughout threads.

Spam
None. Since joining myLot 5 days ago, I have not yet received a single spam email. In fact, by default notification of replies to your threads are turned off. To go into more depth with the notifications, you can choose what you are notified of, be it a response to a post or a new post in your thread.

First post!

Welcome all to my site on paid programs. Let me begin by telling you that I am not getting paid for any of this, unless you sign up with me as a referral. Now that is out of the way, I would like to explain to you what this site is about. This site is not the standard lets rate paid reviews. No, instead we will look at the sites, how they pay and treat their customers, whether it looks like their business model can stand up to the test of time, and in the end give you enough information to decide on whether or not you would join these sites.
