1 Cent Emails offers a sign up bonus, but questionable

(My Original Blog Post: http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/07/1-cent-emails-offers-a-sign-up-bonus-but-questionable/)
1 Cent Emails - Paid to read email site.Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't write an article about 1 Cent Emails if I didn't think it had some good free money making potential and not a complete scam. For the most part, 1 Cent Emails looks pretty legit for a paid to read e-mail site with a $5.00 sign up bonus. But if you learn anything from me at all, remember this, always check the advertiser section of a website to make sure every looks like it adds up properly.

What do I mean by this? Well, if an advertising website's advertising prices look a little funky, then it's questionable how long the advertising website will be in business. Take a look at 1 Cent Email's advertising prices as of July 15th, 2009.

1 Cent Email's advertising section.Do you see how the 1 cent paid email to all members for $15.00 is just one example of risk by the owners of 1 Cent Emails? 1 Cent Emails has over 20,000 members. They are betting, and this is a pretty good bet, that over 80% of their members aren't even going to open the paid advert. $15.00 divided by 1 cent = 1,500 members or less are expected to open the paid advert.

What happens if 1 Cent Email's advertising plan backfires and over 10,000 members open up that e-mail? 10,000 x 1 cent = $100.00. That means 1 Cent Email could potentially lose money on advertising bought by their own advertisers. This is never a good sign, but the likely hood of few members actually being active in the paid to read e-mail site is a high chance anyway. So I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

Anyway, it never hurts to give the advertising site a try. I mean, it is free to sign up. I just wouldn't invest any money or hard promotion and effort into the sign up bonus site.  Take a look at some more paid to read e-mail sign up bonus sites and let me know what you think of them.
