YES, this guide is pretty long...
NO, this guide is not complicated,
YES, you can definitely do it!
Hey guys, Mercy here, and you're probably here because:
a) You tried Cashcrate, and it was too complicated and frustrating, so you could not reach payout
b) You are thinking about joining Cashcrate, and figured that it would be nice to have a guide to help you out
c) You want some input on the credibility of Cashcrate
Well, I can help you out with the above, and maybe a little more, but just stick around and you'll be sure to learn a few things!
This guide may be rather lengthy but I assure you that you can do it. I even showed it to my 7 year old little brother and he understood it just fine! :)
What? You don't believe me? If you simply don't want to read this whole guide, just watch the video on the upper right hand corner of this guide. That should give you a good sense of what it is like :)
NOTE: The video is in 100% real time. It may seem really fast at parts because I use roboform, one of the recommended programs.
**Author's note:
Yes, Cashcrate has changed a bit since I wrote this guide, but the changes over the months are minimal (and mostly design changes). This guide is far from obsolete and people using this guide still have no problem with reaching payout. That being said, one of the most common problems one has with Cashcrate is that the offers don't show up; and 99.9% of the time it's because you don't live in the U.S. If you don't live in the U.S, there will be fewer offers- but with a little bit of determination and improvisation, it should work just fine.
If you DO live in the U.S, you should have no problem at all!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Okay. First, before I start off the guide I want all of you guys to know a few things about me and Cashcrate
1.
I am an honest person, and all that I say in this guide is based off of experience. None of this is copied material, and all of the following is written by me; for you guys. I believe in honesty as a virtue and I would never openly lie, or even be sneaky about things. If you have a problem with anything I've posted, you can contact me here on Blogspot, on Cashcrate, or go to Contact Me for more info on how to contact me.
2.
I am not going to be sneaky with the referral systems, or anything of the like. I post my referral link around here because Cashcrate offers a bonus for referrals. I worked very hard on this guide and it would be awesome if you guys would sign up through my referral link, because it would really help me out. In addition if you do sign up through my referral link you can contact me directly in Cashcrate and I am planning to hold referral contests later on. It is, however 100% your choice, and if you don't feel like signing up through my link you don't have to.
3.
Cashcrate is 100% legit. They do send you checks, and you can make money fast. I am not saying that you can make thousands of dollars a month, but a humble sum that can be used for extra cash, to pay for an expensive hobby (For me, it is airsoft. I love playing airsoft, but it is very expensive. Cashcrate actually helps me buy airsoft guns!)
4.
You do have to give out personal information. If this makes you uncomfortable then you should not use cashcrate, because using fake information will eventually get you banned, because it is considered fraud. Not only would one be in legal trouble, but one would also be really frustrated, getting banned before payout. However, this does not mean that Cashcrate will do anything bad with your personal information!
5.
Cashcrate has yet to send me any snail mail VIA my actual mailbox. A big trouble for me has been if cashcrate or their respective sponsors would send me stuff through the mail. I didn't want that! I found little information about it when I was first signing up. Here is the information I have gathered on the topic: It costs money for sponsors to send you stuff through the mail (postage) but not e-mails or phone calls. Your email will get spammed, and so will your phone, but read on to figure out a nice way to prevent this.
*Some offers have a little box saying something along the lines of "By clicking this, I give permission for ______ and all of _____'s affiliates to send newsletters and (etcs.) to my home address and e-mails.
Don't click those thinking that they are "I agree to the terms and conditions"
They are not!
6.
Cashcrate can only send you checks. Paypal is not available. Yes, I was disappointed too.
---------------------------------
Okay. Let the guide begin!
---
1. Start fresh
I recommend starting fresh with your cashcrate account. This is not so you can sign up through my referral link, but because some offers one may have done and didn't confirm was due to not knowing the tips to increase the chance of paying offers. Starting fresh assures you that if you just follow the directions you can reach your $20 payout.
When signing up, use your actual e-mail. Your other e-mails you will make later will come into play later on.
(The following is my referral link. I do get a bonus if you sign up through it, and I worked very hard on this guide, so all you guys need to do to help me out is to signing up through this link. It would be AWESOME. Thanks guys ^.^)
Start fresh! The first step to getting your $20 payout!
2. Some programs that are so useful, they are almost required.
-Roboform
You simply put your name, address, etc. Into this program, and it will then be located on a convienient toolbar. You then just click your name and it will automatically (and instantly) fill out the form will all the info you supplied it with.
(It's much more impressive when you see it for yourself, trust me.)
-K7
This is to make your very own anti-spam phone number. Simply link it to your e-mail and when you get a call it is redirected to your e-mail.
*Update
K7 had closed signups, for unknown reasons, and it seems to be on and off at random. If you don't want to use K7, a good alternative would be if you were to download Skype and use your Skype phone number, or your Google Talk number, which comes default with G-mail
-Mozilla Firefox
You will need to be able to delete certain cookies, and I know it is very hard with Internet explorer. I use Firefox and it works just fine with all that I need, so I highly recommend it.
--------------------
3. Starting up, and making e-mails.
When you first sign up, it will ask you to watch some tutorial video, and to click on the the link below that will take you to the members place. Go ahead and skip the tutorial video, unless you want to watch it, but DO click the link that brings you to the members section.
Once you follow the link there will be a little bar on the top of Cashcrate offering you $1.00 to completely fill out your profile.
*When filling out your profile for cashcrate, as long as you are at least 13 years of age, fill out your real address, age and e-mail. Use your K7 phone number for the phone number!
--Earnings so far: $1.00--
*Something you guys need to know is that you will be making a lot of emails. Use your preferred email hosting system of your choice, but from my experience, g-mail and hotmail is not good. (gmail requires mobile confirmation, hotmail limits the amount you can make in a day.)
Personally, I use yahoo, but after you make A LOT you will receive an error message, and it will not let you make any more e-mails for a few hours. Use the e-mail host of your choice.
With making e-mails, you will not need to access them, but it is a good idea to have about 3 emails that you do have access to, and don't mind getting spammed in, just in case an offer requires e-mail confirmation. With making e-mails, each email should take you no longer than 15 seconds to make, if you have Roboform.
*Update tip: You might want to try using temporary emails. These e-mails are real and usable, but expire in 10-20 minutes, possibly more depending on the website.
(Some offers do not allow these e-mail domains, but it never hurts to try)
When you use Roboform, fill out all your info on your identity card correctly. For e-mail, choose a username you will remember (For example, I will use BronzeBunny) So for my email on roboform, I would put BronzeBunny@yahoo.com
Then, when you make your email, just add numbers in order in front of the e-mail. It would be like this:
1st email: Bronzebunny1@yahoo.com
2nd email: Bronzebunny2@yahoo.com
3rd email: Bronzebunny3@yahoo.com
etc.
*Keep in mind you can write random letters and numbers for the password and the security question if you like, but keep about 3 that you do know the password for!
You will need roughly 30+ emails, so this should take you less than 10 minutes
------------------------------------------------------------------
4. First offers - Quizjungle
The absolute best offers on Cashcrate are the ones that will be making you your first $14, and this will be so simple, you wished you could do it forever. It may look like a lot of steps, but it is actually EXTREMELY simple once you get the hang of it. Keep in mind this trick only works for quizjungle offers, and other offers have different procedures.
What you will need before you proceed:
-Roboform
-A K7 Phone number ON your roboform
-A few emails ready
-Mozilla firefox (Not sure about google chrome, opera, netscape, etc. But I do know Internet Explorer does not work well at all.)
Okay. With this guide I will have pictures to walk you through, and I have mozilla firefox, so bear with me.
Here we go!
1. Find a quizjungle offer.
About 99% of quizjungle offers have on the description "Complete the quiz" or "Complete the quiz with valid information." If you are not sure, click the offer link, and if the URL is quizjungle.com, Bingo! If you did open it up, close the offer page. It is important that the offer page (The quizjungle page) is not open until you get to step 3.
Two general places are jackpots for quizjungle offers. Sort offers by name, and go to the second page. There will be a page full of things along the lines of "Are you a ___________"
Another place there are a lot of quizjungle offers you need to sort by name and proceed through the pages until you get to the "H" section. Those should be "How ______________ are you?" These two places alone have 20+ quizjungle offers.
2. Delete your cookies
Quizjungle saves 3 different types of cookies on your computer, and after every offer you will need to delete them.
With firefox go to Tools>Options>Privacy>Show Cookies... and search these three things
(without the quotation marks)
"Quiz"
"Primo"
"Elt"
If you do search it and nothing comes up, it is okay. It simply means that there were no cookies saved on your computer for that domain.
These three are the three names of cookies quizjungle will store on your computer, and your offer will not complete if these are not deleted! Search them up, and delete whatever comes up, no matter what it is.
3. Ready, Set, Click on the offer!
Now you may click on the offer, which should direct you to what looks like a quiz. Fill out the quiz 
with actual stuff if you like, but it is important that for question #6, you indicate your gender. It will always be a question about your gender.
Here is the magical key that will light up your world.
Alt =
That's right, hold down Alt, and press the Equal key on your keyboard. For some reason, it chooses to work after the first few offers, so if it does not work immediately don't fret. If you completed an offer or two and it STILL doesn't work, go to troubleshooting for more info.
What does this do? It automatically fills the bottom choice for everything. This is not so useful YET, but later on, it is a lifesaver.
Once you get to the second page, fill out more of the quiz stuff and it will ask you for a birthday. Enter your REAL birthday that you signed up on Cashcrate with. If you are not 18 or older, it does not matter. Just as long as you are 13 or older it will work.
Click OK, and it will ask you for your information. Click your name on your roboform toolbar and watch the magic happen.
*Replace the Email you typed in roboform with the number that you are on (For example, Bronzebunny@yahoo.com would be changed to Bronzebunny1@yahoo.com if it was my second offer) . Keep track of the number you are on, it will help you out A LOT.
Click "Score My Quiz"
And here we go... the Annoying part.
4. The annoying part. Skipping the offers.
You will immediatly be bombarded with all these sponsors requesting phone numbers, to choose a prize, etc. There will be a few of these ads. These ads are bigger than the other ones in size, so you can tell which ones they are. There is ALWAYS a "no thanks", "skip offer", or "maybe later" button, and it is usually at the bottom for these. Skip all the offers.
You will then come to a list of offers, and a choice for Yes/No for each of those offers. You now have 3 (potentially 4) options on how to do this. You are required to click YES for one of these offers. It doesn't not matter which one you choose.
1. Painstakingly click No for each of the individual offers, but YES for one of them.
2. Click NO for the first one, then hit [TAB] + [TAB] + [SPACE] again and again, choosing yes for one of them. Once you get in the rhythm, this is actually relatively easy
3. The magical Alt + Equal. This should automatically select NO for all of them. (Having problems? Try completing your first offer or two without it, and it may work later on. Strange but it's true!)
Once you have NO for everything except one of them, you will be brought up to another page, with the offer you selected YES for. Basically, just click the link that says "Next>>" and you will be brought to another YES/NO page.
Repeat this step 4-5 times.
5. Done at last, Done at last!
You will be brought to the quiz results page. Congrats! You are done! Go back to the original page for Cashcrate and submit the offer that you did. For optimal results, keep the quiz results open page 3-5 seconds after you submitted it.
Delete your cookies (as shown on step 2) every single time BEFORE you start a new quizjungle offer!
It is very easy to forget and if you do, it will not confirm. Also, remember to change your e-mail. Recycling e-mails will not work. It also needs to be a real e-mail.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you were following along, you should realize how easy it is, especially if the Alt Equal code worked. Once again, if you complete 3 offers and the Alt + Equal STILL does not work, go to troubleshooting for the Alternative method.
If you were just reading along, it probably seems really complicated, but I got to the point where one QJ offer took me less than 35 seconds, including making the email. :)
Once you get the hang of it (usually by the 4th one) you will be on a roll, and it will flow extremely smoothly. If you get to this part, it feels good!
Just keep on doing quizjungle offers for the time being. It's a good idea not to have more than $5.00 worth of pending offers at once, as it will decrease the chance of all of them confirming.
Repeat for about 25+ of them. Once you get the hang of it, you will want to do more than 25! :)
Heck, I have about $40 now and I'm STILL doing quizjungle!
--Earnings so far: $13.50--
4. High paying offers
Well, there are the smaller paying offers, and then there are high paying offers.
The highest efficient paying offers will be $1.00
Sorry guys, but there isn't a detailed walkthrough with pictures for this one, only because it is self-explanatory. It's only asks for a little bit more information than the Quizjungle offers, and if you do mess up, simply erase the cookies and try again.
Some $1 offers that worked-
Synovate
Favorite pet
Opinion Square
You are almost there!
--Earnings so far: $16.50--
At this point, you should have Cashcrate down to the point where getting the rest of the $4 should be child's play. You should be able to get the remaining $4 in no more than half an hour, and it's very possible to do this whole process in one day.
If you want a video tutorial, again, check the upper right side of the blog for a demonstration, and if you want a step-by-step process, check out this video here.
That'll be it! I can post more of a step-by-step guide on how to get the last $4, but if you followed this walkthrough up to this point, you're probably intelligent enough to utilize these tips and tricks to obtain the remainder of your pay. Use your accumulated "Points" to play games and win prizes, and once you reach your first payout, you can continue making more cash on Cashcrate!
I hope you enjoyed this guide! Enjoy your new online money making crusade!
