Is Hits4Pay a Scam?

 

Hits4Pay is a popular program that uses advertisers' dollars to pay their members for reading emails.  There are many of these get-paid-to-read programs and they all offer similar opportunities with almost the same incentives.  But can you really make money with Hits4Pay or is just another online scam?

The way that companies like Hits4Pay work is by connecting advertisers with a guaranteed audience.  They do this by paying their members for every email that they read and for each ad that they click on.

The actual payout to Hits4Pay members per email is tiny, usually between .02 and .05 cents.  There are some discrepancies but most people say that they receive around 2 to 3 emails per day.  As you can see the income rate is incredibly low, at less than a dollar a week.

This is why the majority of people focus on the referral side of the pay-to-read email business.  For instance, Hits4pay offers you .01¢ for each email one of your recruits reads.  Depending on how well you're able to recruit, this strategy can improve your income potential.

The difficulty with recruitment is that new members have to remain active email readers.  As soon as they stop reading you no longer earn commissions.  In my experience there's been a fairly high turnover rate, which forces you to constantly replenish your recruits.

I've spoken with many folks involved with Hits4pay and I've gotten some mixed feedback.  Some people have found this opportunity to be fulfilling while others have told me that it's a waste of time.  It all comes down to recruiting, if you can't do it then there's no point reading emails at three cents a piece.

this website would be great but what makes me nervous is that they ask for my social security number for their tax purposes...Is that safe???

Hits4Pay stole my time/money.

I joined September of 2008 after receiving an unsolicited e-mail from a member looking for associates. I looked them up on the web and most of the feedback I read back then said it was a legitimate business and could make a few pennies a day.

From September of 2008 until May of 2009 I spent time reading their emails; I contacted the advertisers more than once to get more information and made 2 purchases from them. I finally got to over $25 sometime in May. On June 1 they zeroed out my account and their records show they sent a payment to my PayPal account. Today is June 8th and the money has not showed up in my account which is perfectly good since I use it at least once a week to send and receive payments.

I have tried contacting them numerous times through their feedback link on their web site, but have not received a response. I tried contacting the person that originally sent me the unsolicited e-mail, the first email attempt bounced back with a message that a URL in the content of the message is in 2 black lists. I removed the Hits4Pay URL in his original message and the e-mail went through, I have not received a response yet and I am not holding my breath for one.

As far as I can see Hits4Pay is a scam.

I Have been a member of hits4pay for 2 years and I have to say It is the BEST PTR ON THE INTERNET. It is true you need referrals to make monthly commissions with this company, what you need to do each teach your referrals how to get referrals, hits4pay is one of the few company's that pay 2 levels deep. You also have all your direct referrals email addresses to contact them help them get referrals, Even get referrals for them and your referrals stay active and keep clicking. With today people losing jobs and needing to make extra money online, I am seen a increase in referrals 10 fold.
thanks hits4pay.

hi...Steve Albight : Listen, i been their member
(hits4pay member) for a long time, for years, almost the time they started that website several years ago, so, of all people, i should know about
their payout rate and payout record, BOTH of which is VERY bad. I also know Kristin Hilton who works there for her boss : Abe.
Anyway, here is my take on hits4pay : payout per
email is EXACTLY 2 cents EACH email, NOT 3 cents as you say. So, why do i even bother with them ?

For sure, it's NOT for their puny money. My only
reason is for RESEARCH purposes...no, NOT research on them (hits4pay, no, not them)..it's for : Research on their ads, just to see...what is being offered by their advertisers, what programs are running on the internet ? To find that out...that's all, NOT for money, because,
the money isn't there at all.

By the way, they can easily offer at least 5 cents
to read their ad emails, they CAN well afford to pay...but, they WONT. They are pretty stingy !!!

sincerely
John

Hey Tarl, if this is the "internet equivalent of Amway," you're doing more to support H4P than to direct people away from it.

Amway is a 50-plus-year-old company that is well-respected across the world, publicly traded, and has a flawless record with the Better Business Bureau. It has produced many millionaires who were willing to dig in their heels and work hard. In fact, Amway set the precedent for ALL current multilevel marketing companies. The laws governing MLM state that a company's structure has to be based on Amway's structure.

So, your insult backfired. Those involved with H4P should thank you for the compliment.

I've been a member of hits4pay for a little over 2 months and I've made 60 dollars, barely doing anything but a little simple typing and mouse clicking. Wonderful program.

### Bad reviews of Hits4Pay are most likely based on the individuals who believed that one can make a fortune on the internet without investing any work or time. ###

"Most likely"??!!!I have a MORE LIKELY formula for you, Michelle. It could be that you are telling the truth. It could also be that you are somehow profiting from scamming other people out of their hard-earned cash.

Hmmm... lemme take a look at this. What is MORE LIKELY?

[1] That numerous haters post bad things about a dubious internet cash-grabbing scenario, for ??? reason?

=OR=

[2] that numerous scammers post totally un-confirmable profits/figures in an effort to perpetuate the scam to keep the dollars rolling in?

I'm gonna go with [2].

Thanks, but NO THANKS.

Besides that, if you are making sooo much money with this, why worry about anybody else? The fact that you ARE apparently concerned with public opinion sends up enough warning flares as it is.

I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE PROGRAM FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW AND TOTALLY ENJOY IT. I HAVE OVER 1200 PEOPLE IN MY DOWNLINE SO I MAKE A NICE MONTHLY INCOME. ITS ALL IN THE ADVERTISING IF YOU HAVE THE TIME TO ADVERTISE AND THE PATIENCE YOU WILL MAKE A NICE MONTHLY INCOME.

I believe the program is excellent if you promote it. In about 70 days I've built a team of over 100 people. It's also a great program to build a large team and list for other programs. Many of my team members in Hits4Pay also join me in my higher paying programs.

Julie from NY has no idea what she's talking about. I made a little over $26.00 my first payout. $10.00 came from my bonus, $16.00 came from reading emails. I agree that bad reviews generally come from those who are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, which involves little to no work on their end. To the haters, I say good luck with that.

Joan Friess   West Palm Beach, FL

The problem with this program is the amount of money they pay. I don't get more than 2 cents a read. They make you stay on for too long a time. My time is worth more than 2 centes for a minute. They do pay, but not until you get to, I believe its 25 dollars. That takes a real long time.

Stephanie from Bend, OR is lying. There is no way she made $31.00 in the first month including the $10.00 sign up fee BECAUSE you only get the $10.00 after you make $25.00 on your own which would bring you to $35.00. There no way $31.00 is a possbile amount to make in that case. Also Michelle from Portland, OR also had some great things to say... hmmm I wonder if they possibly advertise/work for hits4pay or if Oregon is just coincidentally such a happy state.

It is all just a big scam. The woman that I
contacted even said that she was disabled. I think
that it was mental. I would rather earn a living then live off scamming others.

I have been with hits4pay for 3 years now and have recriuted over 400 people. I have been getting a steady check $40-80 per month. I feel this program is well worth it. The key is to promote the affiliate program. I also use rent-a-list.com which is affiliated with Hits4pay to advertise my other programs that I like to promote. I give MS media a big thumbs up...

If you click the emails regularly you can reach payout by yourself, with no referrals. But you must click and continue to click. It took me less than a year, 9-10 months maybe and there were emails that I missed clicking. You can also earn by taking surveys and signing up for free email subscriptions to various things, who cares what they are as long as they are free... AND most importantly... they pay and pay on time just as specified in the TOS.

I did get one referral and that does help but you don't need them, they just make payout faster.

I love Hits4Pay!!! no one ever said your going to get rich off of this but if Hits4Pay is willing to give away money then Im willing to take it. It does take some work but you will see a difference once you start building up your downlines...and seriousely people, how hard is that?? Give it a try.....you'll see its all good!! (anyone who doesnt even try to get referrrals shouldnt even bother)

I have been doing H4P for about 8 months now. I open it in another window once a week, and click through all the mails while I am doing other things. I get between 10 and 30 emails a week. I have signed up a toal of four other people, so I'm not relying on referrals by any means. I got my first PayPal payment the first week of July, for about $26. I will never get rich doing it, but it's just one of many things I do. They all add up.

Stephanie   Bend, OR

3:13pm on Friday, July 11th, 2008 

I love hits4pay. I made $31 my first month which included the $10 bonus and am on track to double that this month. This is not a get rich quick scheme like most online opportunities out there. You do only get out of it what you put into it.

I am a member, I love it...It's fun! It defintely takes some time getting it going. It doesn't generate alot of cash, but its great for some extra cash, & yes they do pay.
I have fun watching it grow bigger everyday. But you only get out of it what you put into it. It takes a little bit of your time. Nothing is for free people, you can't just sit back & expect the money to just appear in you account.

It's been good so far, although I haven't been paid yet since I haven't hit the $25 mark. But in 2.5 weeks I have signed up 125 first level people and am making about $1 per day. In a few months when I start getting some second level referrals I'll be making decent money.

TARL FURY   Anchorage, AK

Hits4Pay is CRAP. Good reviews of Hits4Pay are most likely made by individuals without a functional cerebrum and/or cerebellum. The internet equivalent of AMWAY, as far as scams go. Any money that you do eventually make comes from exploiting the work of others farther down in the pyramid. Just say NO WAY to Hits4Pay.

I've been a member for over 2 years and I love it. I've spent minimal time recruiting and have over 200 people in my downline. I've made over $500 so far. I get a ton of emails some days and none for a few days but that's how online advertising works. They have always paid, have great customer service, and even chased down a check (when they paid by check) that got lost in the mail. The most dependable program out there. Its not huge money but it could be if you are willing to work. I've found that most complaints come from people that want to get rich now, which is fine. If you want to get rich overnight, online, PTR is not for you.

I don't know what those other folks are complaining about. Maybe I am working a different hits4pay program. I love it I rather be paid 2 cents an email than 1 cents most other program only pay 1 cent hits4pay keep my box full of emails plus a $10 sign on bonus you can't lose.

I just started last week. But I have a background early in life in door to door sales and training so I understand the sell blueprint.

The first thing I noted is after registration and earning a few pennies, suddenly your e-mail no longer verifies. You do not know until you log-in of course. You lose money automatic. They claim the fault is on your end though you followed the instructions to the letter and placed their address in your address book.

When they initially suggested after registration, to go to the site to check for new ads I knew then to expect a problem.

Secondly, the referral system which I have not tried as yet is pyramid marketing. But it could be a winner. It depends on how many people you are able to get into the referral program and if you have the time to put into it.

Some people do not have the personality for that hard sell system. Those who do, will do well. Its not a matter of some not wanting to work at it. In sales your personality has to be aggressive and some people are not aggressive. Its not a flaw, just built differently. They may excel at something else that aggressive people find impossible to do as well.

Two cent is not much motiviation to do anything. But I'm at my computer all day and most evenings so to sit there and earn two cents for clicking on sites is fine.

The payout is sad. It should be 10.00 dollars minimum to get paid initially instead of 25.00 considering they are going to play the game of: oops, your e-mail did not verify. Imagine how much money they make from this.

Finally, they are making money through advertisers hand over foot because many of the same people who are contracted to view ads will go to some of these sites on their own later and become customers and clients.

I don't have a lot of time to put into it since I'm pursuing other online income streams particularly free lance writing. But as I said to sit at the computer and click on ads to get a few pennies and dollars, its okay.

The only downside to it from where I sit? You may be waiting awhile to see anything in your paypal account. I wouldn't quit a job or make it a full time thing.

They need to prove to be little more savvy with their ability to send an e-mail for me to take it too seriously.

I've received my first check for $35.00 after I made several attempts to try and contact them to get it.
If you stop receiving emails, go to the site and reactivate your email. I end up doing this on a weekly basis. I've added them to my approved sender list and it doesn't seem to matter.
I have quite a few referrals under me but only a couple are really active. I can make as little as .02 a day (Sundays usually) or over $1.00 a day.

I joined thinking it would be a good thing. After joining I got alot of mail to read. in the past week and a half I have recieved 1. not going to make anything that way. Its a waste of time.

I love H4P! I agree with Michelle, usually the complainers are dead weight.

I have over 3,000 referrals in my downline on H4P and I do, obviously, well with the program.

But I also do agree with OP that there is a high turn over rate on referrals. Simply because people are just not dependable. That is the risk you take when you invest your own cash into residual income types of things. Never invest what you can't afford to lose.

i am close to my first 25 dollar check and they stopped sending me e mails. this is a scam.

i signed up others and i told them to check out as they will get ripped off just like i did.

They Stop Sending Emails...

In my experience me and my recruits (there are only two for now) stopped receiving emails after about 10 days of "working" for the company. It's now been two weeks since any of the three of us have received any thing.

Nothing in Life is FREE...,Like the old cliché' says! The advertisers pay Hits4pay, then pay4hits pays you. People are working for their 2 cents to read their ads. It's an online pyramid, and like the ones in "REAL" life, people have to recruit other people to get to the top. So it is work, and the one thing "FREE" is your time. Only you can choose what to do with it. I chose to give this a shot. That's my 2 cents, and I'm willing to work for theirs. LOL

I've joined this program about 2 month ago and so far I only earned $2 dolla**omething plus the $ 10 dolla**ign up. I confess I have not promoted this business very much as I feel silly doing it, just imagine! telling any one I'm earning $ 1 dollar a week! that is pathetic!. I'm still with the program and I still promote it every now and then, but I have not great expectations.

I joined 8 weeks ago, and it is very slow when you first startup, but the key is referrals, once your referral network gets going thats when you'll start seeing some money. I'm still working on getting there since the pay is so low you need at least a hundred active referrals to get you to the cash out point.

Michelle   Portland, OR

11:26am on Thursday, October 4th, 2007 

I have been a member since March 2007. I'm currently making an extra $200 a month. It's easy, honest and flexible. I'm a stay at home mom who stumbled upon this opportunity. I have built a large down line of moms, students, retirees etc. All who are enjoying the extra money each month. Bad reviews of Hits4Pay are most likely based on the individuals who believed that one can make a fortune on the internet without investing any work or time.
