Being rather new at the whole "Get Paid To..." stuff, I'm wondering if anyone has ideas on how to stay organized. I can see that keeping track of where you've been and what you've done is essential, but (as usual) I'm not sure what some of the best methods would be. Anyone care to share their thoughts and/or ideas on what has worked best for them?

Well, stick with a few ones that are considered to be the best.

These ones will maximize your profit and take some time, but not too much.

Doing a site with the links to the programs you are in its very good for two reasons:

1. It gets you referrals.
2. Keeps all your programs tracked.

Send me a Private Message if you want my advice on the best programs.

I recommend the program you can download for free here:

http://www.geocities.com/gpajic/

It's called Get Paid To Read E.mail Manager. I have no idea what I'd ever do without it...it's fantastic! If you want it and have trouble with the download on the site, let me know by PM and I'll send it to you.

i like to use a regular old excel spread sheet i just have the program names in order on the left, next column has my balance, next column has payout limit.. i also have my refs listed there in which level they're in, the link to the sign-in page and my ref link i also keep which date i last updated on so i know all info is recent. hope that helps!

(btw, after a while you'll get the idea on which programs are worth keeping or not.. i used to have over 100 programs.. now i'm down to only about 15 )

i only work with seven PaidoRead.

It suits me fine

Thanks so much for all your insights! I could tell as soon as I signed up for my first program that without some form of organization that it was likely to overwhelm me even before I figured out what I wanted to be part of or not. Now that I have an idea of what needs tracking and some of my options for doing just that, I feel better about jumping right in. ~Jazzy

Write down all programs you join. Write down your referrer and password. To make interesting passwords, open up a word processor, close your eyes, then bash the keyboard with your hands or head. Then you will have a randomly generated password!!!

You're supposed to keep up with this stuff??

Seriously, I only belong to a few things now, so I don't worry about it anymore. I just save confirmation email. When I did belong to a bunch of stuff, I just used a sheet of paper and wrote everything down--very high-tech

lol, i know!
i usually just click the links i get thru mail!
takes me some time though to notice if a ptr has disapeared or something!
but lately, i did put all the sites i belong to in my faves folder. at least there, i'll know what i belong to & delete the ones i unsubd from.

ROFLOLPMP!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! not a bad idea thou

What the heck is PMP? Pissing My Pants? I didn't realize I was that funny !!! Anyone wants funny news articles and funny pictures, please send me a message !!!

Very funny , hehe yes and it is Peeing my pants .

I don`t keep track of my email programs (got about 50 of them)
I just click on the links on mails.
My stratgy is to wait for year and then check how much money have I made...

I tried downingloading the program for tracking paid to read it didn't work.

Be Classic!

I went to Mircosoft Word and created tables to organize The name, referral link, username, password, and stats of a program.

All you have to do is think of ways

Since I learned screenshots I created a new folder on my desktop and took one weekend and made a screenshot of all my GPTR's.each has its own page in the folder with login and payout info and now i just compare the screenshot and replace it with another (thats screenshot of my stats)

how do you take a screen shot?

Press Print Scrn on your keyboard, and paste into an application like Microsoft Word.

Or, if you just want the active window, press Alt + Print Scrn.

Thank you so much for telling about this program!!! I find it amazing I managed with pen and paper until this

It's sooo great!!! Thanks again!!

You're welcome, Pia...I'm glad you like it
I think I found out about it from a safelist e.mail some time ago, and now I almost never go online without opening that program. It's a must for me!

How does it work? does it keep track of earnings and stuff?

KGLASER!!!!! you made a masterpiece! This GPTRE Organnizer is really workin. No more pen and paper for me.

Hurry pittr download it!

One problem kglaser is that I had to delete all 365 od your programs that were listed on the program .

Can you make a newer version where the programs are not listed.

Ok done...and opened but...OMG lol

and all the programs aren't there.

I still can't tell if it keeps track of earnings and downlines.

I don't think it's KGlaser's program...just one that was found.

Wow, I knew my ears were burning while I was gawking at that now-36-page screamfest in "Complaints"

Yes promoballer, pittr is correct. It is NOT my program in any way--just something that I downloaded quite a while ago and recommend to anyone who wishes to keep track of an appreciable number of PTR sites. I never meant to convey the impression that I had anything to do with its creation. If that's how I came across, I apologize. (But gee, that praise made me blush for a second anyway )

And I know what you mean about all the sites--but as far as I can figure out, that was GPTREMM's plan in distributing it for free in the first place. All the programs listed there are under that person; you'll notice that most contain "gpaijc" or something like that in the e.mail address. As best I can tell, this person was just trying to get his or her referral links out there, so someone might say, "Hmmm, look at this one, $5 payout, 5 referral levels" (or whatever) and join up from the link that was in the program. Then the person who wrote the program gets referrals. I realize that many of those programs either no longer exist or are defunct for some reason, but I obtained that program quite a long time ago. There was an update available on the site, but I couldn't get it to work, so I don't know what it does.

pittr, it is a tool used to keep track of earnings and downlines, as well as many other things such as comments on referral structure and rankings of your favorite and least-favorite programs. It is essentially a glorified spreadsheet, with several shortcuts (for example, to enter all the data for a CAC site, all you must do is press one button, after you've input your default data). There is nothing magical or innovative about it as far as automatically updating your information as it changes at different sites (boy, I WISH!! I'd pay hard-earned money for that!!). However, what I found to be true was that, after I set it up (I too had to delete and add a lot of programs), it made my record-keeping chores MUCH, much easier than they had been in its absence. In my case, I am in over 130 PTR and similar programs (such as PTC or PTS), and anything that makes it easier for me is a lifesaver. Personally, I find this program superior to an Excel spreadsheet, which I have also used, but that is wholly my opinion and your mileage may vary.

Having spewed all that out, I'd just like to add that if anyone gets ahold of it and would like some help setting it up or some tips or something I'd be glad to help in any way I could.

katie

thanks katie...

I think I'll try and figger it out tomorrow when my eyes aren't burning from that same rant...errr complaint page

I'm sure ANYthing is better than my pencil and notebook approach. I never even thought of using the computer, lolol.
