NeoBux Payment Proof

I've been sat on this payment proof for ages, because I've already mentioned it in the "PTC Experiment" - Oh, I know that's a couple of weeks out-of-date, but don't worry the updates are coming very soon as data and analysis has proven very enlightening.

So here, it is... NeoBux Payment Proof (click on the image to see full size)

My Average Day

I have an email asking me what my average day was like - how much time I spend earning on the web and what my income was.  I've decided the best way to answer that is by recording my day and tallying up at the end, so here goes...

9.00am-9.30am - Time for a coffee!  I turn on the computer and head straight over to Inbox Dollars.  My first 5 searched of the day will be found through this site, which will earn me $0.06.  The site I search for is  Slice the Pie!  And over the next 30 minutes I drink my coffee and listen to music - posting reviews as I listen.  I posted 8 reviews and made $1.89.

9.30am-10.00am - I look at my Adf.ly account and my AdSense, noting that I made $0.21 and $0.89, respectively, before turning my attention to the boring part of the morning... my Paid To Click sites.  I have 6 of these on the go at the moment (2 because of the PTC Experiment) and the rest being tested for a review on the blog. NeoBux made me about $0.50 with referrals (in the last 24 hours) and the rest which includes the likes of ClixSense, PTCBox and BuxP have probably made only $0.25, with varying numbers of personal and referral clicks. It takes 30 minutes to get through this lot, partly because I have an increasing number of referrals to manage.

10.00am-4.00pm - It's time to do what I get paid for and go to work.  I'll complete this post later!  Still to do: forums, more music reviews, and surveys.

4.00pm-4.45pm - I decide to check out e-rewards, Valued Opinions and NPolls find a couple of surveys.  Surveys are one of the most profitable ways to make money on the internet and in 1 hour I have made £1.50 on Valued Opinions, $0.20 on NPolls  and the equivalent of $2 on e-rewards.  Usually if I can't find surveys on these sites there are others I will check out.

4.45pm-5.30pm - This is the last stint on me earning on the internet for the day and I spend it on Slice the Pie, earning a further $2.51, but also seeing that my referrals have been busy and added a further $0.38 to that sum.

In total today:

• Adverts = $1.10
• PTCs = $0.75
• Surveys = $4.20
• Music reviewing = $4.40

Grand total = $10.45 for 2.5 hours work, though there are other days when this can be higher this seems average, bringing in $70-75 per week (quite a nice 2nd income earned for the time most people send on Facebook).

Paid To Click (PTC) Sites (part 2 of 3)

Read part 1 here. 

The vast majority of Paid To Click (PTC) sites either pay very little or go bust after a few months, because of a poor business model.  However, there are a few good ones out there and we will be investigating them as this website develops.

For now, I'm only going to talk about 2 PTC sites: NeoBux and ClixSense, who have both been around for a number of years and have proven track records as being profitable for both the users and the site.

Firstly, NeoBux is a site where you can rent an unlimited number of referrals, dependent on your membership type - and this is only kept under-control by the increasing costs for renting above 4,000 referrals and the limit on a weekly maximum.  Their innovative "rented referrals" means that anyone can make be successful, it just takes time, patience and strategy!

Many people use this site as an investment, following set strategies to gain a decent return on investment, in fact it is the casual user who will see least benefits from NeoBux as their business model is geared towards offering perks to people who pay for better membership packages.

ClixSense doesn't allow rented referrals.  The only referrals you have are those you directly recruit (or your recruited referral recruits - up to 8 levels deep!).  This means that their are people on the site now who have a hugely successful model.  And if you are new to the site, it is hit and miss as to whether you'll be successful.

I am currently running a PTC Experiment with both of these sites and in part 3 will explain the strategies I am employing for each!

Paid To Click (PTC) Sites (part 1 of 3)

Paid To Click (PTC) sites are a very popular way of earning money on the internet.  Basically you either login to a site to view advertisements or have them emailed to you.  You click on the advert, hang around for anything from 2 seconds to a minute and get paid.

They work on the basic premise that the more you see an advert the more likely you are to visit that site and see what all the fuss is about.  Indeed, many people use paid to click sites as a useful tool for finding other sites.

PTC sites make the majority of their money from "renting referrals", advertising or providing "premium" services at a cost/subscription.

There are some pros and cons from this type of site and I'll outline a number of these below, before explaining how to make much more money from them, in the third part of this write-up.

Pros:

• There are typically no start-up costs to you - this supports my belief that you should never pay to earn!
• The process is pretty quick and its possible to click on 50-100 adverts in 30 minutes, earning anything from a few cents to a few dollars.
• Most of these sites have "games" or "prize boards" where you can win extra cash from playing them.
• The popular ones are legit and have proven track records of paying, either via PayPal or AlertPay.
• Most of them have referral/affiliate programs, which is where the big money is (but more on this in the next post).
• Used correctly you can make mega-money on these sites.  I'm not talking a nice little earner, I'm talking above average annual pay - off one site.  Have 2 or more of these sites ramped up to the same level and you can be working 10 hours a week and earning close to 6 figures.

Cons:

• These sites can be slow to get going - you have to be willing to put the effort in early when money is trickling in.  The gold is buried deep, so you have to dig for a while before you can see the rewards.  If you don't want to put the time in, these sites aren't for you.
• You can be in fierce competition for referrals, so you need to have a game plan.
• Often their aren't many adverts per day (maybe only $0.10-$0.25, so you need referrals to really make it).

In the next part I'm going to explain how the following sites operate:

• NeoBux - Probably the market leader when it comes to PTC sites.
• ClixSense - One of the other biggest PTC sites, but quite different from NeoBux.

These sites have been chosen because they are all different from each other and they will be the basis for Paid To Web Surf's PTC Experiment.
