Snap Dollars

This is a bit of a hybrid site. They have paid-to-click ads, paid surveys, paid e-mails (almost daily, a huge improvement on most paid e-mail sites I've tried) and a daily free lottery, as well.

You get $10 in your account just for signing up - but it is a $40 payout, so it could still take you a while to earn enough to get paid. There are quite a few free offers to sign up for to earn money. There are also a bunch of offers you have to pay for, but the amount you get paid for these usually covers the amount you pay for them - so if the offers would be useful to you personally, there's no reason not to sign up since you're pretty much getting whatever they're offering for free.

The lottery especially is a genious idea - not because you really have much of a chance of winning, just because it's unique to the site (and hey, it's free, so why not enter every day?). Instead of the usual asking members to click on an ad and stay on the page for 30 seconds, you click on the lottery you want to enter and have to view an ad for 10 seconds before you can pick your numbers.

And on top of that, you get $5 for each referal, plus 10% of what they make.

I did a google search on the site (because it seemed almost too easy to make money on it... the free offers pay less than $1 as usual, but the ones you have to pay a bit to sign up for can get you $25 sometimes) and as far as I can tell, it's legit. There are a lot of people complaining that it takes them forever to answer e-mail complaints, and that it takes them up to a month sometimes to get your cheque in the mail. They only pay by cheque, which is a drawback to a lot of people.

The reason I like the site so much (and am hoping it's not actually a scam) is that it's based in Toronto... which means Canadians can actually sign up for most of their offers, for once.

Check it out if you're interested, I'll update later as always.
