'Get Paid' Forums -- Be Careful

For people who get involved in 'Get Paid' programs, one way to keep up with what's going on is to join a forum or two. A lot of programs have their own 'member support' forums, but there are also a couple of bigger forums for discussing the 'Get Paid industry' as a whole. These include GetPaidForum, GPTBoycott, and GPTForum.

All of them have good info. But keep in mind that these forums aren't run as generously-donated services to the 'Get Paid' public. There are other motives involved. Like $$$.

The owners, Administrators, and Moderators of these forums are often 'Get Paid' program owners or others with vested interests. The Forums give them a place to wield power, exert influence, make deals, etc. It's not just about sharing info and a bit of friendly chit-chat. So if you go to any of these forums for info, be careful and think twice before taking anybody's word for anything.

Except mine, of course. Heh.
