Introduction
First off I want to start with this isn’t a way to get rich. It’s to get some extra spending cash, maybe make a few ends meet. I make anywhere from 100 to 400 a month depending on how much effort I put in, some good paying offers etc. This isn’t a scam, you do get paid instantly on most things. I say skim over the information here after signing up (http://www.instagc.com/mystina83 ) then try out the site for a bit then come back and reread this guide and come back again when you get stumped. It’s a lot of information to take in. A lot more things will make sense after testing it out a bit. By signing up with my link above you will be able to message me personally through the site. You will also be able to participate in contests for your choice of free gift cards.
About the Company
Instagc is a GPT site where you earn points that are redeemable for gift cards or cash in the forms of PayPal, Check or Direct Deposit. To earn points you can do surveys, offers, tasks, shopping, searching the web, watching videos, and more! I will go into about how each way works below. Their parent company is Day Online Solutions and is an accredited business through the BBB. The company has been around for a while, since 2011. They have paid out over 575,000 gift cards since they have started.
Payouts
Most of Instagc’s payouts are instant. For instance most gift cards are instant. They have a huge variety of gift cards to choose from. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Walmart are just a few of the big ones. The gift cards that are not instant typically are the larger amounts, $250+.
Direct Deposits requests are typically processed within 1-3 business days and typically received within 1-2 business days after being processed. There is a 15 point fee for a direct deposit.
For Paypal first-time requests are manually processed and are typically received within 1-7 business days after the redemption submission has been made. After the first request has been processed, future requests will be instantly processed. All requests of $25+ in a single request or multiple grouped together in the same day will be manually processed within 1-2 business days. The first PayPal transaction of the month is free but after that it will cost 20 points until the next month.
Checks have a fee of 25 points and will be assessed for each redemption request. Requests are typically processed within 1-5 business days and typically received within 2-5 business days after being processed.
Point System
The points system works that each point is worth a penny. So 1.00 would be equal to 1 penny, 10.00 would be 10 cents, and 100.00 would be a dollar. Points are easily made as a Live Sample survey on the Instagc wall is worth 105 points. Do the both of them and that is 210 points worth $2.10. Offers will vary on points as other surveys will as well. Also points from any offer, survey, or task valued at 225+ points are frozen for an estimated time frame of 2-5+ days. Points from credit card (CC), shopping, or trial offers are frozen for an estimated time frame of 7-14+ days.
Ways to Earn Points
Ø Surveys
There are a few walls that have surveys. Instagc, Payment Wall, Peanut Lab, TrialPay, AdGateRewards, Persona.ly, Matomy, OfferToro, Revenue Universe, Super Rewards, and WinterLeads. Most surveys can be done daily. Each wall pays out a different amount. For example Instagc’s wall survey Live Sample is worth 105 points. On TrialPay it is worth 42 points. Surveys can easily be filtered on each wall just look at the tabs on top. Use your real information when doing surveys. Using false information can get you banned. Someone had once tallied up how much you could possibly make from surveys in just a 24 hour period and that ended up being $63.55.
Ø Clicks
Clicks also known as cents per click (CPC) are an easy way to get points. An easy way to find Clicks is to click on the Earn tab > Recommended > Clicks. Four walls come up and when clicked will show you only the click points. Most clicks are just watching videos or opening a web site. The best walls for these in my opinion are Instagc, RadiumOne and PeanutLab in that order. Most clicks can be done daily so check back often.
Ø Downloads
Downloads are a very easy way to snag points. I once made just over five dollars doing downloads while I was clipping coupons. To do downloads it is highly recommended to use a program called SandBoxie with them. This program will protect your computer from viruses and malware. If you are not comfortable doing downloads you don’t have to do them, but I have never had an issue while using the SandBoxie program. First you are going to turn off any firewall you are using and disable antivirus. Sounds crazy I know but that’s what SandBoxie is for. While doing downloads in the Sandboxie program accept all the offers that pop up and leave the download open. There will be a pop up window asking to recover or close from SandBoxie. Always hit close as hitting will recover will take the downloaded item out of the sandbox and potentially damage your computer. Most will credit within five minutes but others could take up to 20 minutes. When done clear Sandboxie, clear cache and cookies (I recommend a program called CCleaner for this) and try another.
Ø Trials
Trials are pretty straight forward. You purchase a trial of something, say a month of ABC Mouse for example, try it for a month or X amount of days and receive points. Points over 225+ are frozen for an estimated time frame of 7-14+ days. Some trials are to try something out for a dollar for X amount of time and you have to cancel at the end, just don’t forget to cancel or you get charged the full amount. It’s best to do trials for offers you are interested in so if you do forget to cancel you won’t be losing out on anything. Some people set reminders in a calendar on their phone so they know when the trial is up.
Ø CrowdFlower
CrowdFlower can be a big earner. This can be found under the task tab. Easy points for a short amount of time. The tasks have a huge variety to choose from. The better you do at the task the higher level you will get to. Too many wrong answers and you will get booted from the task. They also have surveys under here that it is hard to disqualify for.
Ø Calls
Calls are big payouts, between 1and 5 dollars. You will call an offer with the number they provide, most likely for them to sell you something. Ask questions and inquire about the product or service for at least 3-4 minutes (Some vary). Do not end the call suddenly or you will not get credit. You do not have to purchase anything for these types to credit.
Ø Shopping
This option allows you to shop at places you normally do and get cash back. Click on the Earn tab at the top for the drop down menu and click recommended. At the top you will see shopping. Once that is clicked it will give you two walls to choose from.
Instagc has a wide variety of stores to choose from. For example if I were to go shopping at Target I would follow the steps above and find the Target option and click on it. I would then shop as normal. You points for you cash back will be frozen for about two weeks. Each store will have a different percentage that they give back.
TrialPay gives you options for different stores. For example if you shop at Target they will give you 73 points if you purchase a certain amount. In my opinion your better off with the Instagc wall for this one.
Ø Videos
Videos are one of the easiest ways to earn points. Click on a video and let It play. Clicking on the earn tab, to the drop down recommended, then to the video tab will bring up all the walls that have videos. These include AdBistro, Encrave, HyprMX, OfferToro Volume11 and Matomy Money. None of the videos auto-play. Some videos can be watched multiple times. Points can range from 1 to 5. Not much but they add up very quickly.
Ø Downloading Apps
Another easy one. Currently there is no tab for it but some of the walls allow you to filter for different offers. Some apps will require you to make it to a certain level or have it installed for so many days. Make sure to play/use it a bit to ensure proper credit. Some apps are only for Android while others are only for IOS.
Ø RadioLoyalty
Earn points for listening to the radio. For each 30 minutes of listening you will have to enter a code. For each code entered you will receive 3 points and can do this all day if you would like. You can do this while doing other offers. This is found under Earn, Recommended, RadioLoyalty.
Ø Other
There are a few other ways to earn points on the site.
Occasionally booster codes are given out in the chat, approximately every 20 to 30 minutes. You have to be fast and type them in manually. Booster codes are also given out on their Facebook page.
Instagc also holds contests. There are a few different kinds. Under their Compete tab there are seven options: CrowdFlower, Decimal Pot, Offer, Referral, Sports and video. CrowdFlower, Offer, Referral and video are who completes the most in the time category. Some are daily, weekly, mini etc. Decimal Pot is you enter your .XX points into the pot. The system will then randomly select winners from those entered and split the prize pot. (1st prize = 50%, 2nd prize = 35%, 3rd prize = 15%) at the end of the week. For sports you will choose a winner for each game as well as your guess at the final score of all games combined (used as a tiebreaker if needed). Top three members who do the best will split prize pot.
You can search the web through the Instagc default search engine and randomly win points throughout the day.
You can also enter Sweepstakes under the Redeem tab. They have different amounts you can enter for. For example the 100 point prize can be entered for 2 points. Once there are no entries left a random winner is picked.
Ø Referrals
Referring your friends and family will give you 10 points when they confirm their email and complete an offer worth at least 5 points. Your referral will make you 10% of whatever they earn. It does not come out of their earnings. So if your referral watched a video and they earned 1 point you will earn .10.
Tips
A good way to start out is just with videos and clicks while you are learning the ropes. It’s a lot to take in and get used to. When I first started I barely made 5 bucks a week. Now I make about $300 a month or more easily.
I suggest starting with the Instagc wall as this wall tells you what you have to do in order for the offer to credit. This will get you used to the site and how the walls work so that you can find a routine that will work for you.
It’s important to have a lot of emails. Do not do offers with your main email as you do not want to fill it with junk mail. There are quite a few places to make an email. Outlook is very popular as it allows you to make aliases under one email. Less time to create emails and it will already have the information you signed up with. There is also Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, GMX, mail.com, and more. Do not use disposable emails that only last so long as some offers want you to confirm the email address.
A good example of why to have multiple emails:
On the Instagc wall there will be four to five (maybe more) LifeScript offers. To get each of these to credit you will need a new email. Same goes for any other offer that is similar to each other.
LifeScripts usually give people trouble to get credit. This is the best way to get them to credit. You should clean your cache and cookies. I recommend CCleaner for this and this should be done often while doing offers. It will clear your browsing history and your cookies on all your browsers. Open the offer and then let the page sit open for about five minutes. Go make coffee, start another offer on another tab whatever you have to do. Come back to the LifeScript and fill out the first page. A new page will open and then you let that sit for another five minutes. Fill that out and leave the page open. You should get credit within 10 minutes or less.
Leaving the tab open after completing an offer will help it credit.
Email submits are very easy and pretty much follow how the LifeScript offer works. These can range in points from 10-150 points.
Get a notebook or program for your computer to help you keep track of the emails. This way you’ll know what offers you have used that email for.
If something does not credit, try again another time maybe with a different browser and a different email. I have noticed I get a lot of credits using Chrome but somethings like to credit on FireFox.
Use your real information. Your name, birthday etc. Using fake information will get your account banned.
Turn off your pop-up blocker and adblocking software. The ads are what are helping you get paid. Let the ads load and go slow. Don’t fill out too quickly.
There is an offer ticker under the community chat. This shows you what is paying out and how many people are getting it to work at that time.
Some offers have a maximum amount allowed for the day. Also known as being capped. Some offers cap quickly and it’s good to do these early. Some offers start later at night. Watch the ticker to see if something is crediting that you have been having trouble with. If you click on an offer and it takes you to something completely different, that offer is capped for now.
A good tool is the chat box. This becomes available once you have cashed out 50 dollars or more. This can be done quickly. As said before just doing the two LiveSample surveys on the Instagc wall is $2.10. The implemented this because there was a lot of spam happening. There are also rules for the chat that can be found here http://www.instagc.com/chat/rules. Failure to comply with chat rules will result in being banned from chat.
