Earn $ for yourself & a charity on Crowdtap!


How can I do that, you ask? And what the heck is Crowdtap?

Crowdtap
is a refreshing new social marketing and research platform that enables you to be rewarded for ideating and promoting with leading brands, non-profits and start-ups. It's super fun and you can earn cash rewards for yourself and a charity for taking surveys, sampling new products and promoting your favorite brands. You simply login with your facebook account and begin by answering "quickhits" - quick easy questions. You earn points and sometimes money for answering these.

Crowdap also has opportunities to Sample & Share products as well as host product parties. For instance, right now I am doing a Sample & Share for Playtex Sport Cleansing Wipes. Sample shares are special discussions that you get invited to and once you receive the product sample (for free) you discuss the product and share your opinion with the brand’s representatives.

Since joining
Crowdtap just 3 months ago in addition to participating in sample shares, I have earned $43.00 in Amazon gift cards, just for answering easy "quickhits" and participating in discussions. As you participate, you also receive points, points will help you level up, unlock badges, and compete with your friends while moving up the leader board. I am already level 6 and half way to the top level of Platinum!

And as if all that hasn't been cool enough, I've met some very great people while tapping! Like my new friend Jean who used to live in the same town as me, we've realized we have tons in common and enjoy reading each others posts.

What to check it out? Just click on any of the words “Crowdtap” in this post and get started! Don’t forget you’ll need to log in to facebook. Now you know what it is and how to join… What are you waiting for?
