Advantages: Free To Join!!, High Payout Rates!!, Pays In UK Pounds!!

Disadvantages: Can't Think Of One, Let Alone Three!!

It may be hard to be believe...it may be very sad, but it's true....I've fallen in love with a paid email program!!

HTMail has to be one of the newest kids on the block, and totally the best!! The people behind HTMail have taken the program a step further than others, which means more value for advertisers, and so more money for members!!

What do you do when you open a paid email site?? Let the page load and close it?? Maybe not even let it load!! With HTMail the system is completely different, as you are required to read the side, and make some constructive criticism on how the webmaster could improve both the design and content.

When you receive a paid email, there is a description of the sponsor's site and, below it, a link. After clicking this link you are taken to an advertiser's web site, which you are required to read and take a look around, eg click a few of the links, so that you can make comments on it afterwards.

A few seconds later a popup window opens, with a feedback form for HTMail. You complete the ten-or-so questions on the page, (most of which are multiple choice) and submit the form. You then receive a "confrmation of credit" via email, from HTMail.

Most "paid to" programs provide you with an account page. This is another place where HTMail is different. To keep the site small (which keeps loading times short) you instead have to enter your email address into a form whenever you want a statement which shows how much you have in your account, how many referrals you have, etc. A statement like this, only a smaller one, is also included at the end of every paid email you receive.

Upon signing up, the process is slightly varied from other companies. You submit your name, address details etc and then some other demographic details to match advertisers to you based on the people the sponsor wants to attract to his/her site. On the section where you would usually be
presented with a host of checkboxes or radio buttons for you to select your hobbies, there are few. There are also text boxes for you to type in the hobbies and sports you enjoy participating in. I find this rather annoying, as I like to have lots of hobbies in front of me, which I can choose from. (and sometimes select all if the payout sounds good and there is no limit on the number of interests!!)

On payout terms, you can be rewarded in (wait for it...) UK Pounds or US Dollar!! There are two types of payment, depending on how far you participate with the advertiser. If you do not wish to visit the advertiser's web site but you would like to be paid for reading the email, you simply click a link to confirm this and you are paid 5p or 8 cents. May I point out that is far more than other paid email companies usually pay you to VISIT the advertiser's site.

If you do wish to visit the advertiser's site and complete the survey, you will follow the instructions mentioned earlier, and this will earn you 15p, or 24 cents.

You can also be paid for receiving "snail mail" (stuff through ordinary post, eg the friendly postman knocking on your door). You are rewarded 3p for every piece of snail mail you are sent and a penny for each piece of snail mail your referrals are sent (see below).

Another thing on referrals, you can gain them by using the referral links from the HTMail web site. Every time your referral visits the advertiser's web site, you receive 1p. This is not a tremendously huge fee, and I was quite disappointed that such a high-paying program would drop to a penny per referral email, but I guess that is why their personal rates are so high, which works out better for me as I tend not to refer many people. (Except for in dooyoo, where people seem only more than willing to join - they're acually ***asking*** me for the referral link!!)

I am absolutely positive that I would refer this progra
m to a friend, even if I didn't have a moneterial incentive to do so!!
