Pay-Per-Play mentioned in The Wall Street Journal!

The new upcoming advertising company NetAudioAds, that wants to revolutionize the market with audio ads (Pay-Per-Play), was just mentioned in the Wall Street Journal (besides some other ways for monetizing a blog). It´s really nice to see how much buzz they are generating, according to their latest blog post, they already have “24,000 core affiliate partners who were responsible for bringing on over 9,000,000 websites between December 6th and today”, amazing! Definitely a reason to feature them on WSJ! I´m really curios about their starting on February 1st, feel free to join now as long as their affiliate program is open!

Sponsored Posts - Let´s Get Started!

As you may have already heared about, it is possible to earn some nice extra cash from sponsored posts or reviews. You simply write about a companies product or website and get paid for that article anywhere from $5 to $500 (if you have a really great and popular blog ;) I´ve already written about 3 nice programs that pay you for writing sponsored posts and reviews. Feel free to get some more info there.

So today I´ve joined 3 programs, PayPerPost, ReviewMe and Blogitive. Actually my blog is now over three month old and I´m therefore able to submit it for approval on those sites (those three month are minimum requirements), so I thought “why not?” and submitted it. At the moment I´m waiting for approval and I hope that my blog won´t be rejected.

I´m also hoping to see my earnings increasing, I´ve only two and a half month left to reach my goal in earning $100. It would be nice if get some tasks within the next weeks! If I get approved on PayPerPost I´ll immediately get my first task worth $20, that´s quaranteed!

But I will also warn you! If you like to join the above mentioned programs to earn some money from sponsored blogging, feel free to do so, but keep in mind that Google doesn´t like blogs with sponsored posts. I´ve heared from different bloggers that got penalized with a reduced PageRank. So please don´t say I haven´t warned you! :)

I´ll keep you informed, maybe you´ll see my first sponsored post soon?! (sorry, the second one, I´ve already done one for Blogsvertise)

Have a nice day,

First Statistics from Pay-Per-Play

The last days I´ve received my first statistics from NetAudioAds, the company that wants to revolutionize the online advertising market, you can see a short review in my post about Pay-Per-Play.

So far my blog generated around 140 site impressions (which will be audio ads later on) and I have one referral in my downline (thank you!) which brought me another 50 views. But those ads aren´t currently played, because the program is still in beta, it´s only for testing purposes. But on February 1st they will go live and play those ads (I´m really interested in the ads content). And I think after some time we´ll also see how much each of those ads is really worth, for now it is estimated an average of $0.01 to $.03 per ad (and the ad publisher will get 25% from it).

Feel free to join NetAudioAds (especially if you want to help me , no just kidding ;). Until February 1st you also have the chance to refer your friends before they close the doors for their affiliate program (notice, you´ll earn 25% from your referrals audio ads too).

Best Regards,

Subvert and Profit - First Referral Comissions!

So far I´ve referred 8 people to Subvert and Profit, the evil company that pays you for digging others stories. The last days I´ve seen that I got my first comissions from my referrals, but not very much, only $0.30 :) You´ll get 20% of your referral earnings, which means $0.10 per task (which is worth $0.50 each). Really nice :)

But it gets even better. Starting on January 16th you´ll get $1.00 per assigned task (they double their payments), but only 10% from your referrals earnings (actually nothing will change, you´ll get your $0.10 anyway).

I hope I can refer some of my readers, not only to make me rich hehe, but also because I can really suggest Subvert and Profit as an easy money resource (and btw, they really pay)!

See you,

Bux.to - Buying Referrals Update

Warning! Bux.to has turned into a horrible PTC with payment delays of more than 6 months, a lame staff and forum mods that defeat Bux.to with their life although they even have not a received a single payment yet. I’m not the only one who didn’t get paid by them, thousands of users are complaining about this mess. The Bux.to staff are the most unprofessional people I’ve ever seen online for a long time (or maybe they are the best scammers I’ve seen, who knows…). I DON’T recommend joining them, there are way better PTCs on the market that even pay instantly, like NeoBux for example. There I already earned over $2,000 and got paid more than 10 times!

I just want to give you a short update on my progress with buying referrals for Bux.to! I´ve mentioned earlier that I made $3.69 for the first day after my purchase. Unfortunately I have no new statistics for today, but for the last 2 days. Two days ago I got $1.41 and yesterday I got $1.34 from my referrals clicks on ads. Added together it brings me to $6.44 within only 3 days and if you consider that I bought the 15 referral package for $16.98, I´ll break even soon and see real profits (at least in theory).

But I also have some kind of “fear”. I´m not 100% sure if Bux.to could be a scam site or not. My concerns are based on the long waiting time for cashouts from your account. At the moment you have to wait 60 business days (business means everything but weekends or holidays ;) to receive your money on your Paypal account. So today I´ve requested my first cashout ($12.71), and I´ll probably (and hopefully) see my money after around 3 month, which means in April :(
But I´m looking forward and hope all the best, as long as I don´t receive the payment I won´t invest any more money.

If you have any experiences with Bux.to payments (good and/or bad ones), please let me know and share your thoughts here!

Short Update on Buying Referrals for Bux.to

Warning! Bux.to has turned into a horrible PTC with payment delays of more than 6 months, a lame staff and forum mods that defeat Bux.to with their life although they even have not a received a single payment yet. I’m not the only one who didn’t get paid by them, thousands of users are complaining about this mess. The Bux.to staff are the most unprofessional people I’ve ever seen online for a long time (or maybe they are the best scammers I’ve seen, who knows…). I DON’T recommend joining them, there are way better PTCs on the market that even pay instantly, like NeoBux for example. There I already earned over $2,000 and got paid more than 10 times!

As promised I want to tell you how how my test with buying referrals for Bux.to works so far.

As you may have read earlier, I´ve just purchased a 15 referral package on Bux.to for $16.98 to see if it´ll pay off. I´ve received my referrals yesterday evening and today I´ve received my first stats about their activity, and I can only say it seems to work :)

Those 15 referrals generated 209 clicks on advertisements which brought me (for $0.01 each) $2.09 within just one day! So there are only $14.89 left to break even and start to see some profits. I´m really interested in seeing how the click activity will be for the next days, if it stays nearly the same I´ll break even within about a week (which would be really awesome)!

I´ll keep you informed about the further activities, also to help you in (maybe) making a descision whether or not to buy such a referral package on Bux.to by yourselfs.

See you soon,
Queerblogger

Update: I´ve just received new stats which say I´ve got 369 clicks ($3.69) for January 11th (one single day)!

Subvert and Profit Doubles Payments!

Today I got totally amazed as I looked at the latest blog post from Subvert and Profit. Actually they will double the earnings for each assigned task you´ll receive from them. After January 16th you´ll get $1.00 per task instead of “only” $0.50, which is incredible in my opinion. They also alter the cost for advertiser from $1.00 to $2.00 per paid digg. The revenues from referrals will be the same although it´ll lower from 20 to 10%, but the earnings will double, so no problem from this site :)

I´m really looking forward to earn even more with Subvert and Profit as it is one of the best apying programs out there (and they really pay you).

Good Bye,

Buying Referrals for Bux.to

Warning! Bux.to has turned into a horrible PTC with payment delays of more than 6 months, a lame staff and forum mods that defeat Bux.to with their life although they even have not a received a single payment yet. I’m not the only one who didn’t get paid by them, thousands of users are complaining about this mess. The Bux.to staff are the most unprofessional people I’ve ever seen online for a long time (or maybe they are the best scammers I’ve seen, who knows…). I DON’T recommend joining them, there are way better PTCs on the market that even pay instantly, like NeoBux for example. There I already earned over $2,000 and got paid more than 10 times!

Today I will start a little test with the great Paid-to-Click site Bux.to, which is one of my best money makers. You may know that one could make some good money on PTC sites. The only secret behind it are (sometimes many) referrals. Most of these sites offer a referral program, it´s simple, you refer new members and get paid from what those people earn by clicking some ads.

On Bux.to you get $0.01 for each single ad one of your referrals click. So, with usually around 15 daily ads (no joke, that´s what I get on a daily basis), you may get up to $0.15 from each of your referrals per day! So, the more you have, the more you´ll get (at least in theory, if not all of your refs are inactive or lazy ;).

So today I thought “Why not buying some referrals and save some time (and really hard work) to get them ´normally´?” On Bux.to it´s really easy to buy referrals. They offer different referral packages ranging from 15 to 500 members. Actually you don´t have to wait for new members to join under you, you can get them instantely (they give you already active and unreferred members). The guys from Bux.to also quarantee you active(!) referrals, which is really important to help you in making money (and break even with your investments).

So I bought 15 referrals for $16.98 and I hope I´ll break even. So far I won´t risk paying more money as long as I don´t know if it really works (but in theory it should :) Say, if those 15 referrals only click 10 daily ads and they do this for only 15 days a month, the cash I will make is $22.50 and I will break even. If they click only half of those ads, I will break even within only 2 month if all goes well (and this is what I want to test, if it REALLY will work).

At the moment I´m waiting for my new referrals, so I can´t say anything about the cash I will make. But I will definitely keep you informed about my progress as soon as I know more. I hope all the best and from what I´ve heard it really seems to work for many people (some of them have some thousands of referred members!).

Ciao,

Get Ready for Pay-Per-Play!

Today I want to introduce a brand-new way for you to earn some extra income from your blog or website. No, it isn´t just another Pay-Per-Click program I´ll talk about, it´s Pay-Per-Play, short audio ads that will bring you money!

I´ve just discovered this new money making opportunity yesterday and I was very fascinated about it from the very first moment. I mean, the todays advertising market is totally over-saturated with textual advertisements (PPC) or banner ads, less and less people are really keeping an eye on it (some kind of ad “blindness” if you will). So why not use audio ads? It´s something new, something fresh in the online advertising market, that will likely attract many people (mainly because of that fact alone). Audio ads are easily rememberable, most times they are short and (probably the best thing) they don´t use any of your valuable space within your blog/website template.

So I came across a company called NetAudioAds, that actually wants to be THE big audio ads provider for the future. They even have temed up with a big search engine company (they can´t reveal their name yet), to help them grow their business without too many caveats.

This all sounds good and wonderful, but it gets even better! You, as a website or blog owner can become an audio ad publisher. All you have to do is to freely sign up for the NetAudioAds program and place a short piece of code in your sites template. Your site is now audio-ad-ready ;)

From now on everytime someone visits your site, a 5 second audio ad will be played. This will only happen once per site, because otherwise it would be too annoying to your readers. Even if you place the ad code on different sites, the visitor will only be able to hear a sound clip every 3 minutes.

So, if the audio clip is played for at least 2 seconds, you will be paid 25% in commissions from what advertisers are willing to spend for an ad. And this works for EVERY single visitor to your site! It´s highly profitable, mainly because of the fact that the audio ad starts immediately after a visit to your site (and it even counts when your visitors have turned audio off ;). The expected amount of money you can generate will be in the range of $0.01 to $0.03 per single audio ad (notice, you´ll get “only” 25% of that amount). The real worth of each clip will be handled by a bidding system (like Google Adwords or Bidvertiser), which goes live on February 1st 2008.

NetAudioAds also offers a 2-tier affiliate program as long as they are in beta (only until the end of this month)! For each (first and second) referral you´ll get 5% of the spent advertising funds (notice, NOT 5% of your referral earnings). But be aware, you should join now before they go live by the first of February and close their affiliate program for a longer time!

All in all, NetAudioAds seems very profitable to me, mainly because I´ll be paid for (nearly) every single visitor to my blog, their weekly(!) payments via Paypal/Check and the possibility to earn even more with optional 30 second audio advertisements (to really annoy my readers hehe ;) I´ll test it out! If you want to find out more, feel free to watch their introducing video or read their long (and informative) sales letter!

See you,

Third Month Report!

Welcome back my fellow readers! I wish you all a very happy new year 2008! I know I´m a bit late with this report, but holidays were busy times…

Three month are over now and my blog is still on the way to get slightly more popular. Sure, it could be far better after three month (considering I´ve still a Pagerank of zero), but I think it needs time to evolve. I must admit I was a bit lazy last month, I´ve just posted around 10 articles, which isn´t enough for one month in my opinion, I hope this month it´ll be better.

Currently I have an average of 25 to 30 unique visitors each day, with most of them coming from search engines like Google and other blogs or websites where I left a link to my blog. What keeps me wondering is my Pagerank which is still at zero, I think Google doesn´t really like my blog very much (maybe I got penalized with a zero rank even before even seeing a higher ranking, because my blog deals only about making money and that kind???). My Alexa ranking is down to 732,845 and still falling slowly (which is a positive sign :)

My earnings for this month are somewhat better than for November. I´ve earned around $22 in the month December. If I add up all my earnings and expenses so far, I´m at $51,50 after half of the time, which isn´t bad at all if all works as good for the next three month. Let´s see what happens.

This time I won´t list each of my money makers here as in the last month´s reports, because the list gets bigger and bigger and it won´t be too useful for my readers. I just want to say some words about my best money makers.

The best money maker for december was Subvert and Profit, which made me $5. I even reached the $10 minimum payout limit this month and got paid from them via Paypal. The second one was Bux.to with around $2. I´ve noticed that the daily ads shown on Bux.to are constantely increasing, sometimes I´ve an average of 15 daily ads each worth $0.01 per click. Also Triond brought me around $1.50 for some articles I´ve published there some month ago, notice that I didn´t have published any new content there, those earnings are still the old articles alone ;) The last (and new) money maker I want to mention is Paid.vg which brought me around $1 within around 2 to 3 weeks of december, you can read more about it in this short review on Paid.vg!

This month I will tell you more about my progress in learning Forex Trading, a highly lucrative but also risky money making opportunity. I also want to write more articles in general, dealing about new money makers I´ll discover here and there. All in all I hope you´ll keep on reading my blog, I´ll do my best to keep you informed!

With Best Regards!
