The GPT world is filled with a lot of startup websites, most of which will run for small periods of time before shutting down. With that being said, it’s a little difficult to find a program that is going to hang around with the industry leaders. Recently, I came across a website called ProfileReward – a pretty interesting take on the “get paid to” programs in that it relies on social media rather than simple individual participation to get paid. Now, I must add that it doesn’t exactly rely on having a social media profile which was a bit confusing to me, but it’s still an interesting take on the typical GPT site.

How GPT Programs Work

Since I haven’t spoken about these programs in quite a while, when we start with a simple description of how these programs work. there’s an advertiser out there that needs to get their product out to the market, occasionally they use what are called “affiliate sales.” What this means is that companies essentially higher middlemen to sell their product for them, giving them a small percentage of the profits along the way. In this way, companies are able to sell more of their product and they were originally able to – so is essentially a win-win situation.

What a “get paid to” program does is essentially insert a middleman between the middleman. In other words, these companies go out and collect affiliate offers, store them all in one place and give you the opportunity to complete the offers yourself (that, or share the link with your own friends and capitalize on their referral). What happens now is that the GPT company receives the full affiliate commission fromthe client, however they give you a percentage of that gain so that both parties profit in the end. While you could theoretically go straight to the company and receive the full commission, the idea is that with more offers on the table, you will receive a better total benefit. These “get paid to” companies, therefore, make the affiliate market more efficient.

How ProfileReward Stacks Up

The first thing I noticed when I went to ProfileReward.com was that they have a very refreshing website template. It’s always nice to have a website that focuses on making the aesthetics clean, because you will likely be spending quite some time on the website. This is a website that has a lot of potential, and while I would recommend a slow and steady strategy when it comes to completing offers (because they have not had any track record of paying)… what I’ve seen so far is very promising. Currently, they are going through the process of adding offers, so there are sadly only around 20 right now to choose from. I’d imagine that this number increases dramatically over the next month. On the bright side, this does show you that the owner is showing discretion over which offers to take and which to leave out, which is always a good thing.

one of the best things about ProfileReward that they have a very extensive list of tutorials. In addition, they had a very young support  forum that could prove to be very useful in the future once business picks up. When you are looking for a new “get paid to” program, one of the first things that you should be considering is how much support they have. I would say that ProfileReward definitely ranks among the best, and is the particular area that they excel the most. In addition to the support features, the overall structure of the website is very easy to navigate and understand. They have a few bonus programs and even some contests running to encourage you to spend more time filling out offers. In other words, they’re really doing all they can at this point to attract new people to the website.

My Overall Conclusion

I have a pretty solid history of figuring out which “GPT” programs will make it, and which will end up failing. It is of the utmost importance that if you put time into completing offers, you can be assured that you will be getting paid at the end. Due to a lack of history of payments, it would be impossible for me to flat-out recommend ProfileReward as a place that you should pursue. However, I think that the owner has put a lot of time into the program, and even taking the initiative to go out to other websites and purchase reviews (like this one) is a step in the right direction.I say register an account at ProfileReward, fill out a few offers and see if they pay – because if they do, you will likely be getting a better payout here than at most other websites due to the relative age of the company.

Stay bullish on the net.
