WHAT IS PICK JACK

Pick jack is a web site made up of community members who submit questions and polls for other members to answer, by either answering of asking questions members are paid small cash amounts for their efforts.

Basically the more polls you take part in the more you earn, if you write and submit the questions payment is determined by the ratings other members give you.

Basically you have to write good questions that relate to the topic on questioning at the time, after you have written ten relevant questions and polls you can then start a topic by submitting a question of your choice.

The overall aim is for you to submit questions that other members cannot get correct, and if you are answering you need to try and answer them correctly. Getting the answers correct will improve you states and your earnings.

To register for pick jack is completely fee and can be done at www.pickjack.com.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

After you have completed the registration to join pick jack, you will have created your account, on the account you will easily be able to look at you statistics very easily and maintain your account relatively hassle free.

You can check the balance on your account this is updated every six hours so you always know how much you are earning. I personally find this very helpful as I hate to wait the 24 hours for an account up date, this was I can always check my earning progress.

If you have cashed in your earnings you can also check the payment status on your account, it will display when to expect the payment going into your paypal account.

Also on you profile account page you can enter as much of as little information about your self, so other members can learn a little bit about you. I only write the minimum if I want to get to know members I can contact them through a message which will only be seen by myself or them, I like that the messages are kept private this way I can speak freely with other members and not having to worry about giving away to many personal details.

You will also get the statistics for all of your questions and polls asked and answered and answered, so other members can actually see how active you are on the site. Like any other site you have to be very active to get the reads and votes, so you do have to devote plenty of time to earn on here.

QUESTIONS AND POLLS

Considering this is how the site actually works it is crazy what sort of questions other members submit, for example What is Garfield? How easy it that, I am not sure how that member expected to earn from that.

The harder the questions are the better chance you have at becoming the top writer and earn better money. The best question I have seen was a mathematic question as long as my arm, this was multiple choice so I did have a one in three chance of getting it right, but this certain question bugged the life out of me so I sat for nearly three hours to try and work it out. I still got it wrong LOL.

At first I found it fun to sit and answer questions but they started to become ridiculous and I felt I was wasting my time as this site is inundated with churners who want to make a fast buck and don't really car about the community spirit and fun aspect.

HOW TO EARN

Firstly you need to collect points by answering and writing questions and polls, once you have earned enough points you can then exchange them for cash. Everyday pick jack submit what the exchange rate is for that day.

Here are some tips that helped me, if you are writing your own questions try to keep them in between hard and easy as many members are not bothered about the site and will not rate you, so keep it light and interesting because you need a good member response to earn.

If you are answering questions, remember the more you do the more you earn and you also build up a trust with other members who will in turn go and answer your polls.

All members like comments, so I recommend you leave them as members are more likely to remember you and visit your profile.

GETTING PAID

After you have converted you points you can cash out at anytime, all payment requests are made to your paypal account.

The last time I cashed out I got paid instantly but I have known other members having to wait up to ten days for a payout, The payment status tab on your account profile keeps you up to date, so it is really no big deal as this tells you when to expect payment and when it has been sent.

SITE LAYOUT & NAVIGATION

The site itself is rater bland as it has very limited colour and text, the bulk of the site has a while background with a green and grey Pick jack banner so it is not at all inviting and can be very difficult to navigate through.

The layout is pretty poor and the text is very small making it very hard to actually read other members poll and questions, the only thing that the site has really got going for it is the fact that it is very east to submit you own questions.

After you have been on the site a while navigating it becomes easier, but I have to say patience is definitely needed to earn cash on here.

MY OPINION

This site is very easy to earn on with little effort, but the payments are basically peanuts so I don't really find it worth while and I feel that sites like dooyoo and ciao are more lucrative, plus that have a great community spirit which is lacking on this Pick jack site.

After signing up I did spend a lot of time on the site as I found it very amusing and entertaining to take part in polls, but the cash incentive is minimal and I was finding that other members did not really care and were only interested in earning and not participating it the community, so this began to gate on me and I soon gave up.

By all means I would recommend this for entertainment value alone, you will have some fun but as for earning it is rather pointless as the earnings are pennies and not worth bothering.

So this is not recommended for potential earnings, but highly recommended for entertainment.

Summary: Recommended to take a look but not for earning cash.
