How I Made 7 GOLD Overnight and You Can Too

The USA within eRepublik is uniquely poised at this time in its history to capitalize on the "incentivized offers" that allow you to participate in consumer surveys, sign up for programs, or just be subjected to advertisements in exchange for a benefit, i.e., for the fictional currency of eRepublik, GOLD.
I will tell you how I made 7 GOLD within about twelve hours (using time, actively, of about an hour), starting just as the Hello Kitty battle started raging, using six offers that paid out without use of a credit card or other agreement to be billed. Just so you know, I am an American in real life living in California, which is good because many of the sites want only US citizens.
To get started, just click the Gold and Extras button, scroll down, and press the "Free" tab. Be sure to click the buttons ("1", "2", "3"...) to see the additional pages. I have arranged these offers in the chronological order that they paid out to me.
(1) "Find your Dream Job at Beyond.com"
This was very easily the simplest, shortest, and easiest payout. Just sign up for Beyond.com, the job site. It's free, and you don't have to post a resumé. I just said I was a tutor (I'm a student).
(2) "Affordable health insurance quotes are here"
This was possibly the most involved offer to complete, and it is understandable if you don't want to go through the motions of filling out a medical history, which is the primary task required. The really important thing here is not to plunk down a credit card and go through the electronic signature option. It wasn't necessary (at least, not for me). Ask for a paper contract to be mailed to you. The payout happens when the application is complete, not when it's signed.
(3) "Learn Healthy Tips Free from QualityHealth.com" (worth 2 gold)
This is well worth doing. As far as I remember, there were only three pages of "radio buttons" to click through. What is a "radio button" page? it is a page on which you click "no" of two radio buttons (yes or no) for all of the offers, or for all but one of the offers, in order to proceed. After that, I think I just said I was interested in tips regarding some medical condition or other.
(4) "Join NPD Online Research today"
This is relatively painless. Give them an e-mail address, confirm that e-mail address, tell them to send you any survey of their choosing, fill out the survey. Once you've gotten points in your npdor.com account, you should be credited in eRepublik.
(5) "Join Memolink now and start earning Gold right away"
This involved skipping through about eight pages of ads and then signing up for "Memolink," also a survey site. Worth doing.
(6) "Start working now"
I honestly don't remember what this offer was.
Updated info from user TheNorm (February 2010):
A few of these were not listed, or their titles had changed somewhat. However I was able to sign up for these listed below for a quick 4 gold total. Both signing up and receiving the gold was fast.
- Find your Dream Job at Beyond.com (1 gold)
- Register with Wigix for free, the revolutionary way to buy and sell online (1 gold)
- Get free healthy samples by taking a survey, and receive a free Recipe eBook! (2 gold)
- Join NPD Online Research today. (I had done this one over a week ago but the above 3 I received quickly yesterday.) (1 gold)
Could not find the health insurance or memolink offer, however thanks for the info as well, and I hope this helps others.
Here are two general types of offers to avoid: (1) Avoid anything that says you will receive a gift card or other cash prize.* It will require the completion of offers in the fine print ("Silver," "Gold," "Platinum"), offers that require money or lots of patience with canceling orders in narrow time frames. (2) Avoid offers of debt, including credit card applications. That's potentially worse than any purchase in its eventual cost to you as a consumer (even if you need a credit card, look for good terms and don't apply frivolously).
And here are two types of offers to accept: (1) Survey centers. You know that they are conducting real surveys when there is more than one multiple-question survey offered by the company on behalf of third parties. That is, when it's not just asking Coke or Pepsi.* (2) Joining sites or mailing lists that require no credit card to participate. For example, the QualityHealth.com site above. In both cases, follow good practices to prevent long-term e-mail spam woes.
There are two ways to mitigate spam to your inbox. As a gmail user, I'm brave enough just to put a period (dot) at some point in my e-mail address. It will still come to me, but I can filter it out any way I want as verified junk mail. You can also, of course, use a spam trap throwaway e-mail address.
Screencapture† any confirmation screens and save any e-mails. They will help you prove that you completed the offer in the case of not receiving credit correctly.
* Your mileage may vary, to an extent, when it comes to which offers work. Some report that the "gift card" type offers are good for them; others don't. Some say that the "A or B" type surveys are quick money makers. Be sure to experiment a bit to find out what's easiest for you. If you have the time, plug away and be sure to challenge those not credited. Read around for more tips, including the comments below. I have tried to highlight some of the very easiest and surest (and free) offers to complete.
† One reader writes in comment, "I suggest www.tinypic.com to upload your screenshots to get a URL, tinypic was suggested to me by Superrewards customerservice." And, to get the pic, he says to press "printscreen" on your keyboard to get a copy of your screen, then open up "Paint" (a miscellaneous program included with Windows) and hit "Control + V" keys (to Paste), then save as a JPEG (file extension jpg). That tip comes from Hampton H. Hampton, who's up to 85 gold so far.
Barroom Hero has written a pretty sick step-by-step tutorial with more tips not found here.
Once you have your GOLD, donate to the 1st Armored Division, official tanking fund of the USA, or invest it some other way in winning this war.
These are not the only six offers that pay. Others looked promising, but I didn't have time to get to them. Expect to wade through about five offers for every one you find that is promising and actually pays out. I think I looked at about thirty overall, in various stages of completion (or bailing out).
Every other way of creating GOLD is covered in my Making Money article.
Once again, this is a great source of GOLD for USA citizens (and, in cases, other people) to tap into and is something you should do now. Even if these incentivized offers are a permanent fixture of eRepublik, the individual offers will change over time, and some that pay out easily will disappear.

FFFFFF I don't live in America IRL
<
Nobody ever lied on a form on the internets, amirite Brendan?
Thanks for the tips.
Only USA or UK. Maybe Canada or Australia.
Even so. They can see your IP. So they will not offer anything.
Some surveys require a certain demographics, and you can't really lie over that because they don't tell you what they are looking for. If you screw that up you just wasted a perfectly good survey.
Heh... I can't do it because I don't live in USA... Too bad...
This is awesome, thank you. I did a few others but they all took a LOT longer than these. MONEYMONEYMONEY!
Donate to 1st Armored
Buck Roger FTW!
noob just do the mobile phone ones. I got like 40 gold in less than 2 hours.
white1knight, write your own article then. I'll link to it, even. I saw too much of the word "subscription" to want to increase my phone bill. (None of the ones I suggest require any billing method's info to be offered.)
white1knight yeah, the phone ones charge you $9.99 to send you the pin, so you're buying 2 or 3 gold for 10 bucks, you can do that cheaper buy just plain buying it. Noob.
I suggest <a href="http://www.tinypic.com" target="_blank">www.tinypic.com</a> to upload your screenshots to get a URL, tinypic was suggested to me by Superrewards customerservice.
"printscreen" button to take a screen shot, open up "Paint" and hit "Control + V" keys, then save as a JPEG.
use an american proxy, its literally that easy ...
and when you run out of american surveys get a british proxy, its literally still that easy ...
Still this makes the game unfair
i say to you Zoli, you picked the wrong allies
Zoli, really? Do you know something about fair game? Maybe you will say about it to all of us?
Excellent article!
a+
lol
I've done so many of these things and never got any freaking gold.
lol u can get banned for submitting illegitimate information
Do you need to use the same e-mail address as eRep?
Jiosen, no, you do not need to use the same e-mail address as eRep.
Kassabian, hence this article. To highlight some of them that are easy enough, require no funny stuff, and actually pay out.
Q2M100, for whatever it's worth, I neither submitted illegitimate information nor encourage anyone else to do so.
:U
Just to let you know, I made 19 gold over night once.
Boss
See, it can be done!
I'm up to 85 gold from the surveys.
If you get to a last steps page with silver and gold offers most of them that I have tried have "expired" so if you just tell them that and copy the page and put it in the offer inquiry then just wait a few hours and they will give you the gold.
I made 6 gold so far. But eRep isn't letting me do anymore. Must be a failsafe. Either way, 6 free gold comes in WAY handy. 8D Hope to do more soon!
man this is cheeting
an USA player can get 7 gold and a EU citizen only 1 gold...
this is not fair!
and Iran none!
Thanks for the info, everybody. As it says in the DoD paper...
Knowledge is (fire) power!
"If you get to a last steps page with silver and gold offers most of them that I have tried have 'expired' so if you just tell them that and copy the page and put it in the offer inquiry then just wait a few hours and they will give you the gold."
They don't. They demanded:
"Please copy and paste the entire offer confirmation email (INCLUDING the header) for your participation within the text box."
Great idea for easy gold.
Is there really any way to "cheat" in eRepublik. Like, get free gold or anything like that?
Hypothetically speaking of course, i don't feel like getting banned.
Every single possible way of -creating- GOLD is covered here (minus, of course, this one):

Every other way involves taking GOLD from your fellow player somehow.
Free gold is always nice.

Yeah, and with Firefox scripts I was able to do 5 surveys at once. I got near 20 gold last night with devoting only 5-10 minutes of my time on starting a survey.

Enjoy
I've tried several of this and got no gold at all.
*Sigh*
Citizen Laws
1. All citizens are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
I have only 1 (!) free offer. This system is directly against the eRepublik laws.
So these free offers should be deleted in US, or eRep should give free gold for the citizens of other countries.
Australia has offers. not many, but when we do they are usually pretty good and easy. I got 4 gold for watching a 30 second commercial
Can you use a proxy to get the offers?
I'm really anxious to try.
Is it inequality?
v
it's another unjust method in this game. the US has more offer, 'coz the profit. so if you live in a little country, you can **** yoself. there isn't equality in this game.
and when i never got my golds after the surveys...
Btw u must know that bilions of spans would start
I did this in khanwars and I don't use my main e-mail anymore I sleep I wake up 400 spams and 300 ads in my inbox
never use your main address
btw I live in Iran and can't do any due to a trade embargo :d
Quit bitching about the US having an advantage and get your country to become more capitalist. Then I'm sure your country will get more offers.
You know, just saying, these offers do not appear to work on Linux Ubuntu using Google Chrome. This probably doesn't apply to anyone here though.
US = lol
I did offers 1 and 3 and didn't get the gold. Just a "viewed" status and it's been 1 hr+... I just wonder why some of these offers report for some people and not others.
last picture is nice
GO HUNgary!
I wish eRepublik could favorite articles because this one deserves it.
The first commenter has the point.
These "offers" differ from country to country. IRL U.S. citizens easily make 7 golds overnight (as well as other if they know how to use proxies and fake phone numbers). In the contrary, from Romania you make 1 gold in two months.
Egality? Parity? Balanced game? Not any more.
I did the QualityHealth.com survey (#3) above, but they didn't send me any gold.
I made 5 gold for working for 180 straight days. Even look at my shouts
You are now officially known as a Hard Worker. Dreams create realities, through hard work.
After "1hr+" there is absolutely nothing known about whether it will automatically credit. None of my offers credited within the hour. My article said that the seven credited for me within twelve hours. If they don't credit for you, after similar length of time, be sure to challenge.
Defend your Friend, Fight for Israel ......
So unfair for non-US residents.
This game was made for USA...
apparently (and expectantly) none of the people complaining about fairness read my comments regarding proxys.
you have no right to complain over un-fairness if the solution is right in front of you.
if you still didn't read, then you dont deserve the gold
for the win.
no offers anymore
USA overprotected again in this game. We can't have free gold, you can .. talk about equality of citizens here in eRep ...
"I got like 40 gold in less than 2 hours."
dosent work for me it says it expired.
thanks for the info

This game will be suck if it continues...
