For a few months now, I've seen a lot of Project PayDay.com ads all over the web and search results. (I make it a habit to do searches related to my industry just to see what's hot at the moment.) I have to admit – when I first stumbled across Project Payday I thought it looked a lot like so many other scam sites out there. I noticed that ProjectPayDay.com ads were being shown a lot on my other site Work At Home Careers.com via adsense. But I never really took the time to look into it. I even received an email from one of my subscribers about it. So I referred her to my scam section so she could do the research.
Again, no interest on my end. A few weeks later I received an email from the owner asking me to promote the program. I get a lot of these offers because of my other site. And I have one major rule, the opportunity has to be free for me to heavily promote it on my site and it has to be legitimate. Usually the fact that it is free kills any chance of it turning out to be a scam. And if by some miracle it does end up being a scam. I rest easy knowing that none of my visitors or subscribers had lost any of their money.
So I asked the owner my usual questions:
* Is this opportunity free to my users? (Yes!)
* Is this a scam or get rich scheme? (No, but of course I didn't take his word for it.)
* How much can I earn and how much can my users earn? (Pretty decent money)
So I decided to learn more, I actually saw something that I don't think I've ever seen before …
They actually come right out and tell you that you will NOT get rich using this program. I thought that was interesting, so I keep reading and ultimately signed up to check out this program in detail.
I must say as soon as I was in the member section, I already knew that this had potential. But I'm a skeptic by nature because of this industry but I'm not a cynic so I read through the site with an open mind.
ProjectPayDay.com is basically a website that gives you step by step directions on how to earn money doing get paid offers. Get paid offers are exactly what they sound like, you get paid to do offers. Usually how it works is that you join a site like FusionCash.com for free, Log in, pick offers that are of interest to you, do the offers, and get paid. It's really that simple. The offers can range from trying out a subscription of blockbuster.com for free, or filling out a survey form. Either case you get paid a certain amount of money for trying one or more of these offers. And trust me they have a lot to choose from! What you can earn can range from $.50 to $50.
So at first I really didn't understand what Project PayDay.com was bringing to the table. But apparently there are other techniques that can be used to make money with Get Paid offers that I wasn't aware of. So ProjectPayDay.com goes into 3 methods to really maximize the money you can make.
I won't really go into all the details of each because their free website and QuickStart tutorials does a better job of this. But I'll say this, they do provide a very concise step-by-step Training Guide, that covers the 3 different methods for making anywhere from $200 to $5,000+ a month working just a few hours a day.
… there is even a video done by 2 of their members where they tell you step-by-step exactly what they both did to average over $2000 in their first month, and how one is already making $5,000+ a month by month 3.
Overall The concepts revealed were eye opening … and the best part is that 2 of the 3 methods don't even require that you actually do any offers yourself.
I was very impressed with the information. I know for a fact you can make money with get paid progams because I've done many of them via FusionCash.com and other sites. But ProjectPayDay.com shows you a way sustaining a long term living with these programs.
It's one of the only programs I know where you could actually earn money today! Not waiting for a check a month from now or waiting for a work at home employer to hopefully hire you. It's something that can be started right away.
I think the best thing of all is that in addition to the training guide they also provide over 15 different QuickStart videos that show you exactly what to do, step-by-step, so you literally can't fail.
There is even an entire section in the Training Guide that shows you exactly what to do in order to make money within hours of starting.
Project PayDay isn't the “sexiest” program out there, but when the dust settles all that matters is that it really does work. If you're still struggling to make money online, Project PayDay is THE program for you.
At the very least you should try the program because it's totally free. So you have nothing to lose in my humble opinion. But opinions are like ….holes, everyone has them. 
I can totally see how Project PayDay.com may not be the best option for many. But I'm a firm believer in giving things a try and making your own decision.
So let me know what you think.
I was there when it all first started. I made well over…. ok don’t laugh, $600,000 promoting the thing. To this very day there’s nothing like it, and there are a bunch of us who really miss project payday. I asked them why they closed it down and they said that the business model was not working anymore. Plus there was a lot of people gaming the system. I sure do miss it though
Eddy:
Your Project Payday post seems pretty dated, but I think it’s vital that viewers be properly advised to avoid casting your own website’s integrity into very serious question.
Projectpayday.com is NOT a free work at home opportunity. In fact, I made the grave mistake of signing up with them 2 days ago (3/4/16) by completing a Trial Pay offer in lieu of their regular $34.95 USD signup fee. Yep, you guessed right. No promo code delivered via email “instantly” as promised nearly 48 hours prior to this message. Not to mention numerous discrepancies and blatant self-contradictions featured on Project Payday.com itself. Much less daresay many negative reviews all over Cyberspace.
Anyhoo, my independent investigation is not yet complete, so I’ll defer further comment and final judgment until a later date. Until then, PLEASE be careful what you publish and readers, be VERY cautious about who you do business with for a ‘risk-free’ work-at-home opportunity that never exists in any practical extent anyway!
Respectfully and Best Regards,
Crissie
Crissie,
This post is many years old and I’m surprised you even found it.
That said this isn’t one of my top recommended opportunities anyway. I’ve made it very clear what I personally recommend and most my visitors just stick with that stuff.
Thanks Eddy! I’ll be back this evening to research further. Got to get my resume out on the street this am. 🙂
No problem.
I just saw an ad on Craigslist for PPD and wondering if you’re still recommending them? Anyone happy? Unhappy? What is your favorite FREE work from home op? Thanks for your efforts in educating us!
Hey Cheri,
Honestly they’re not my top recommendation. I would stick with the opportunities I’ve listed here: https://www.workathomenoscams.com/i-need-to-earn-some-extra-income or here https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2012/07/02/what-type-of-work-at-home-seeker-are-you/
My top free recommendation is WA: https://www.workathomenoscams.com/eddys-top-recommendation/ as you’ve probably seen plastered all over the site. lol I hope this helps. You’re very welcome. Thanks for the continued support!
So, the main thing is getting paid to try things out. Then, for a fee, you get 2 other ways to get paid (you or could be someone else) to try things out, right?
The “catch” is ending the trial offers before you get charged. I tried something like this, but you didn’t get paid unless you actually finished the trial period and joined the service or subcription (or whatever) and got charged. So, it was more of a way to save money than to make money. It’s not like that, right?
Making sure…
Thank you Eddy for your details and information, whether offers would of work for me or not I will never find out. I was not talking about downloading anthing from these sites, even if you use a separate email account but you leave your computer without protection of firewall or antivirus while completing the job and having to keep it up for a minute or two after is completed, is what makes me very uncomfortable. By doing this I am giving anyone access to my computer in that period of time, no matter what email account I am using. I will check out your other link and again thank you for taking the time to write me back.
Nina,
You’re welcome. Like many people, I just think you don’t understand how viruses and malware are spread which is by ACTIVELY downloading a malicious file to your computer. So unless doing an offer involves downloading a file, merely having your virus protection turned off as you do an offer won’t do any harm in that respect. What can do harm regardless if your protection is on or not is doing offers that have hidden forced continuity fees or maybe some cleverly hidden identity theft scam. But this again is usually mitigated by doing your research before even doing any offers.
At the end of the day, all of this is a moot point anyway because no matter what you should never get involved in any money making opportunity that makes you feel uneasy. This is why it’s good you avoided this and should continue to do so based on your comfort level. But I just wanted to give you a technical lesson on how viruses are spread. They rarely just magically just appear on your computer because you happen to shut off your virus protection for a few moments. I’ve done it many times when i use to do offers with no issues but again I always did my research before doing any offers.
Anyway, just focus on traditional work at home jobs. This type of opportunity isn’t a job. It’s a money making opportunity so keep that in mind as well. Online jobs work very much like offline jobs where you get paid a salary for certain type of work. This definitely seems to be a better fit for you. I’m confident you’ll find some great job leads here. So good luck.
Antivirus, Spy ware, and firewalls PROTECT your identity!!!!!!!!
Dear Eddy I read your blog about PP and I thought I would give it a try, I don’t know about other people but when I read: you will make money, it is free to you, or you have nothing to loose. I thought that is what they meant, so I went ahead and enrolled, there you have the first offer, which I am very aware of these offers because I have been burnt in the past.
Then as I kept on reading their training guide I am becoming more concerned about something that no one in this blog has even mentioned in their concerns and that is that in the part of ‘TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES” they mentioned how important is that you turned off your antivirus protection, that you turn off your firewall and spy ware every before you complete an offer. They also ask you to make sure that you leave your screen up for at least 60 seconds or more…….anyone concerned yet????
In this whole page of comments you mentioned this too once and still no one picked up on it or seemed concern about it. The heck with paying shipping costs or getting offers that I can cancel later, but the fact that they want to have access to my computer is what raised the big red flag to me.
You seemed very comfortable with it, are all the jobs in your website also ask for this as a requirement so the person gets credit???
Asking you for your expertise, I have to stay home to care for my elderly mother, and I would like to find a part time job online, are there truly “no pocket expense” that pay decent money? I would like to see what you can recommend.
Thank you, and to all who wrote in this page, good luck. I know we all have a common hope and that is to find a way to make an honest pay for a job well done.
Venezia
Venezia or Nina,
Honestly this has never been a concern for me. One I always research any offer I do by following the steps in my scam video:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams If the company presenting the offer is legitimate then I’ll proceed to do the offer. If not, then I skip it all together. Next, I never download anything. So it’s highly unlikely to get anything malicious if you fail to download anything. So by combining those two activities, I never had problems doing offers. The real reason behind the request is because many of these programs may affect how your cookies on your computer behave and thus you won’t get credit for the offers you’ve done. It sounds like you’ve experienced this first hand. So it’s not some secret ploy to do anything malicious. Again I can’t speak for all the companies you would be doing offers for. Just like everything in life there are always a few bad apples in the bunch in any industry. But doing my research and avoiding downloading stuff has usually kept me safe.
At the end of the day, doing offers isn’t for everyone. If any of this stuff concerns you, it’s easy to resolve. Don’t work with these companies. We list so many different ways to make money that are legitimate and varied. We have traditional work at home jobs where you’re hired by a company, work a set amount of hours and paid a salary accordingly. They’re found here:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/jobs and are updated daily.
We have non-traditional opportunities that don’t require any completion of offers and shutting off any software listed here:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/recommendations
So you have plenty of options either way. It’s just a matter of reading the site. Everyone has different tolerance and expectations and this site does a great job of covering them all with the various options. So always just pick what’s best for you and ignore all others. That’s what I and most of the people that visit this site regularly do. You’re never forced or pressured to just pick one type of opportunity. You’re given choices so you can decide the best course of action for you, not one dictated by me.
Hope this make sense. Personally I’ve done many paid offers and rarely had any problems. But again, I know to do my research and not download stuff and for further measure I’ve even signed up for identity protection so if anything pops up I know. I also don’t use my personal email address for this stuff. I have another “work” email I can access for stuff like this. So there are always measures in place if you’re knowledgeable and just seek them out.
Good luck.
I use AVAST for antivirus and it catches EVERYTIME your computer is at risk of identity or viruses. So far using Project Payday and other sites they refer us to has not set off my alarm. Avast has an ALARM sound when your computer is at risk and it catches everything. Project Payday, so far is working as it should to make money. I just have been slacking in my surveys and know without a doubt you can earn $. The more time you do it the more $ is earned.
that doesnt work ! you have to pay for the damn offers project payday sucks
Uh get paid for trying offers does work. You may not like the idea of paying for offers which is fine. But it definitely does work because I’ve done something like it with Fusion Cash. Get paid to try offers isn’t for everyone. So that’s why we give you so many other choices. If something doesn’t appeal to you just move on. Let’s not make claims that aren’t try because you don’t like how an opportunity works.
It still sound to good to be true. free. but then again l have been burnt so bad over the years.but that doesnot mean l donot feel temp to try not with this umemployment.Thanks for thr review.Have agood day.Br
Atina,
Just follow your gut. If you don’t feel comfortable with this opportunity, just don’t do it. We provide enough options that one should never feel forced to try something if it makes you uneasy.
Try some of my other recommendations here:

I hope it helps.
Eddy,
I’m reading about Project Payday and found my way to your site and I must say you really are offering one heck of a service to people trying to find extra streams of income. Your advice, recommendations, keeping all posts visible and your feedback to each issue makes me feel confident that what you’re giving good reviews to is legit.
Thanks for your honesty and hard work to maintain your posts.
