If you ever asked yourself whether NeoBux is a scam or not, I can calm you down. After receiving my first 2 Dollars around two weeks ago, today I received my second payment.

First of all, if you don’t know what NeoBux is, let me tell you in short. NeoBux is a fairly new PTC site, where you earn money for watching advertisements. Everytime you click on an ad, you get paid $0.01 ($0.02 as a golden member) after you’ve watched it for 30 seconds. You can also refer other people to NeoBux, where you’ll be paid for every click those referrals make ($0.005 per click as a standard member, $0.01 as a golden). After you’ve gathered 2 Dollars (the minimum payout level), you can request that money to your Alertpay account.

Instant Payments

Now for the best part, NeoBux pays instantely, meaning there’s no (not a single second) waiting time between requesting your money and receiving it in your Alertpay account. Now that I’ve tested it the second time, I can only say that it really works. I clicked the money request button while being logged in at Alertpay, then I refreshed the Alertpay page and the money was already there. Great!

Growing Referral Count

Since the end of April I have personally referred 22 people to NeoBux. I must admit that isn’t that much, because I haven’t done too much to promote NeoBux. Most of those refs came from my blog and my squidoo lens about NeoBux.

Just recently I started to promote my referral link on other PTC sites. I have one where I only pay $4 per 1,000 ad clicks, the site is called ShareBux. ShareBux isn’t that great for making money, but perfect for advertising. Today I ordered another advertising package, where I’ll get 100 new and quaranteed sign-ups for NeoBux for just $10! Check this site out for more details.

I hope I’ll get many more referrals in the future, because I tink NeoBux has a great potential to be a serious money maker! I’m also looking forward to see their new referral renting system, more on this feature later.

Happy Clicking!

See you,

Around 2 week ago I wrote about how I made my first sale from affiliate marketing. I told you that there’s some good work involved in setting up an affiliate site, e.g. filling it with content or promoting it in order to get more traffic. I also told you, that such sites most times pay off for themselves in the end. Well…my little niche site has brought me yet another $30 in my Clickbank account!

As I first started to explore the world of affiliate marketing, especially niche marketing, I thought it would be way too difficult to actually make money from it. Now I see that it IS possible to make money from it, which doesn’t mean it isn’t difficult at all. All you need is passion about your “job”, work toward your own goals and you’ll reach them! Mhmm, I already sound like a super affiliate…

Should be all for now,

Cheers,

A long time ago, as I was searching for new traffic sources for my blog, I came across a site called TNX.net. I didn’t care much about it, until I recently realised that I had missed a real great service. You may ask what such a great service could be? Let me explain!

To put it in simple words, TNX.net is a site where you can trade links in order to gain more link popularity for your site or make money by selling links, or even both. Below you’ll find some more details regarding the features this website offers. You can use it for advertising your own sites and therefore generate new traffic and you can earn money just from placing links.

Increase your Traffic

There are several ways to drive traffic to a website, but the best and most useful one would be to gain many backlinks to it. The more websites that link back to your site, the higher your link popularity will be. More link popularity means a higher value of your site and therefore higher rankings in the search engines. And good rankings are most times a quarantee for more visits.

On TNX.net you’re able to buy links pointing to your own website or blog from other sites that are also part of the TNX advertising network. You can buy such links with help of points, which you can either earn by selling links on your own pages (more on this later) or by buying them with good old cash.

Prices for buying TNX-points are reasonable and range from $0.85 to $1.70 per 1000, depending on the quantity of your order. With $25 for example, you’ll get 14,706 points that you can use for advertising. And trust me, that amount would be enough to gain some hundred backlinks!

I’ve personally bought some hundred link on TNX.net to increase my blog’s link popularity. And I’ve done it for free! Yes, you heard right, TNX.net offers new users 5,000 points for free. All you have to do is signing up at TNX.net, head over to this forum thread and leave a reply with your member ID. You’ll get your first 5,000 points in no time. As I’ve already said, I immeditaley bought several hundred links with those 5,000 points and it didn’t take too long until those links where placed on other sites in their network.

Buying links on TNX.net is easy. When setting up a new campaign, you first have to provide links that you want to place on other websites. Most times it’s better to not only link to your homepage, but also to several sub-pages or blog posts. This gives your site a more “natural” look in the eyes of a search engine. TNX.net even provides a tool to make your links look more natural, you can read more about it in this thread.

Right after that, you have to choose different categories that best fit your advertising needs. You can choose several categories your website’s content belongs to, like marketing for example. The last step before buying links, is choosing site categories on the basis of their ranking. You have the option to choose based on Yahoo Backlinks and the Google Pagerank, the higher the ranking, the more points you have to invest. Usually higher ranked sites have a bigger influence on your own website or blog.

After choosing all options, the TNX.net service will start to automatically place backlinks on sites in their network. You can see placed links in your statistics after logging in to your account. It will take up to several weeks before major search engines will recognize those fresh backlinks and start to give your website more value. But it’s worth to wait, I’ve personally increased my daily traffic with the help of TNX.net. Besides having a Pagerank of 2 now, I also have an increasing stream of daily visitors.

Make Money from Selling Links

Besides gaining better link popularity and increasing your daily traffic, TNX.net also offers the option to sell links on your own website or blog. With help of a small code snippet which you have to place on your site or site’s template, you can start selling links automatically. Unfortunately you can’t use this service when using a free host like Blogger for example, it’s required that you have either PHP or Perl installed on your server or hosting account.

After placing the code, TNX.net starts selling links on your site. If you place the code directly in your website/blog template, links can be sold on every page of your site. That means you can earn many more points compared to just placing links on your site’s homepage.

The amount of points you receive from selling links depends on your site’s ranking and how many links you’re willing to place on each page. In general, the better your ranking and the more links you place (up to 4), the more points you’ll get.

TNX-points can either be used to buy new backlinks to your site or you can sell them back to TNX.net. At the moment selling price is at $0.84 for 1,000 points, but the value is permanently increasing due to the site’s getting more poular each day and attracts more advertisers.

I personally have gained over 20,000 TNX-points from placing links on my blog since joining the site. That’s worth around $17 at the moment, not bad! And the best thing is that Google won’t recognize those links on your site and penalize you for selling links (Google hates that). Sold links are looking natural to search engines, thanks to the code TNX.net provides you for implementing in your site.

Conclusion

TNX.net provides a great and reliable service which offers you the option to buy links for better search rankings and sell links to either receive TNX-points or money. So far I’ve tested and used it, I have only seen benefits for me and my blog. I’ve gathered nearly 1,000 new backlinks (including deep links) to my blog, my Pagerank has increased (sure, not only because of TNX alone) and my traffic is constantely increasing the last days and weeks. I like it very much!

TNX.net also offers a nice partner program where you can earn even more TNX-points. Each time one of your referrals earns points from selling links, you too earn a certain percentage. For example, if a referred member earns 100 points from selling links on his site, you earn 10 points.

If you want to see more benefits from TNX.net, I can only highly recommend to sign up on their site, grab your free 5,000 TNX-points (see above) and start your first campaign and/or sell your first links. It’s definitely worth it, I have tested it by myself and I will stay with them for sure!

So long,

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!

After a long time without too many updates about my progress with Bux.to, I will give you some more in-depth details about my current situation with this nice money maker. I will give you some statistics about my referral count, click rates, earnings and current news about Bux.to in general.

Bux.to – The Best PTC Ever

I started my Bux.to experiment/career way back in October 2007, where I was a complete noob in terms of making money online. But, until today, I don’t regret joining this PTC, the most popular of all PTC’s at the moment (and probably for the future). I had many highs and lows with Bux.to the last month. First I thought it was a scam, until I received my first payment in February 2008 (not much btw, but proof enough for me to keep on using that site). Then everything seemed to work right, until all those statistic delays started and many members thought this would be the end of Bux.to. Well, they are still alive!

Just recently I was invited for the beta test of the brand new script that powers Bux.to. I was amazed after finding an invite for this beta test, because only 10,000 members were allowed to test the new script. Ok, 10,000 members sounds much, but note that Bux.to has over 5,000,000 members today! Maybe the staff has noticed that I rank number in the top ten in the Google search results for the term “Bux.to” and have some influence?!

At the moment the most annoying thing at Bux.to is the really huge payment delay. They are three month late with their payments. But there are reasons for that delay! First, they had some serious trouble with Alertpay, which had several errors in the payment processing on their own side. The problem is already solved, payments will be processed as regular. Second, and most disturbing fact is the audit time. At the moment they have to check each payment request for fraudulent activity (thanks to all those scammers and users of autoclickers). With several thousand cashout requests each month one can only imagine how long that would take…

But, with help of the new script, several things will change. First of all, they will include some kind of autoclicker detection. Sorry, I haven’t (and won’t give you) any details about it! I think it’s a good step for faster payment requests, because the account audit times will get shorter. Second thing is semi-automatic payment processing instead of manual doing those payments. After the release of the new script, payment will definitely arrive way faster than right now!

Ok, let’s head over to my stats!

My Bux.to Stats

Let’s first have a look at the stats directly from my Bux.to account:

You see, after joining the site nearly six month ago, I have done 3071 clicks by myself. I must admit, that’s not a high amount. I’ve seen users with way more clicks than I personally have. But I’m not below the average for sure.

So far I have a total of 72 referrals. 65 of them are purchased from Bux.to, the rest was done by promoting Bux.to on my blog. I personally haven’t referred many people…unfortunately. I’ve spent a total of around $80 for buying all those refs, luckily I’ve already made my investments back. Some more bucks I’ve invested were $65 for upgrading my account to premium status. That was the best thing I could do, not only because I get paid 25% more compared to standard members. It also increased the daily ad count from around 10 ads to sometimes more than 40 ones!

Now for the best part, my referrals have clicked a total of 12061 ads so far. In other words, each referral brought me around 167 advertising clicks so far. I have made my investments back!
I have a nice (or ugly) statistics graph where you can see the total amount of referral clicks since the beginning of January, where I bought my first referral pack:

You’ll notice the recent increase in my referrals click activity, that’s because I’ve bought another referral pack three weeks ago AND the statistics delay has gone (at least for me)!

So far I got paid $12.71 from Bux.to, back then to my Paypal account. So far I my account blance went up to over $168. At April 18th I’ve requested my second payout of $75 to my brand new Bux.to Mastercard. In my opinion the new card is another great step towards a more professional PTC. At the moment I’m still waiting for the payment to arrive.

At the moment I’m making around 3 to 4 Dollars each day, excluding my personal clicks on daily ads. That’s amazing for only 72 referrals, where around 10 of them are even inactive. I think about reinvesting most of my money (if it arrives some day) in new referral packages. If everything works right for the next month, I’ll see a huge increase in my overall monthly earnings!

Conclusion

At the moment you could have many doubts about Bux.to. Payments are late, statistics aren’t updating right, many people complain about this PTC already. Everyday there are new threads on the Bux.to forums from people that are waiting for their first money to come in.

On the other side, Bux.to has proven to be a professional PTC like no other. They have solved their problems with Paypal while searching for alternative payment processors. They have arranged a deal with Payoneer, a serious company providing the already mentioned Mastercard. They are currently working on a new script to give their members a way better experienece, not only moneywise.

I will furthermore support Bux.to as a real big money making opportunity (maybe I’ll get a higher ranking in the SERPS than Bux.to itself ). Sure, there are payment delays and one could arque about their real business model, but I think they have some good plans for running their business for a longer time in the future. So far they have proved to pay many people, sometimes several thousand dollars!

Bux.to is THE great site, nothing more to say…!

My friend Tiberius Burciu, owner of My PPC Advertising, has just recently started a new project. He created a new website that deals about everything you want to know about domain names. It provides some good info and today I will give a short review on his new site and also talk about some money making techniques he is using.

The site I will review here is named Domain Names 101 and, as already stated in the post title, it deals about domain names. Well, you may have guessed it already?

Ok, today I had a deeper look at Tiberius’ site and I was really impressed with all the good content you can find on it. I don’t say this because we are friends and I’m only here for promoting his site, but because he has really invested a lot of time and hard work in it, and that should be worth a review on my blog anyway.

Design

Let’s go on. His domain name site has a quite clean and clear design. No fancy graphics and annoying popups, the whole page looks very “friendly” in my opinion.

The navigation is well done and easy to handle. I like the uncluttered navigation style, nothing is more annoying than those hyper-cool, javascript driven flyout menus and that kind. A navigation should be easy both for your site visitors and also for search engines, which can better navigate through your site.

Content

A website’s design doesn’t matter too much when it comes to creating a information-based site. What really matters is content, and Domain Names 101 has a lot of content!

Content is really important, both for visitors who are looking for it in order to get answers, and search engines who are permanently searching for new sites they can index. Domain Names 101 features a lot of quality content and provides usefull information if it comes to domain names.

The site contains nearly everything you want to know about domain names, from choosing domain names to selling them, from mobile domain names to free ones. I was amazed about all the info Tiberius has researched for his niche site! But he goes even more into the details, e.g. do you know what a homograph attack is? I doubt many people will know that.

It’s a great plus for his site to offer such specialized information, it will drive targeted traffic from search engines and therefore visitors who are looking for the right answers. Besides only providing the info to those people, it’s also useful for monetizing a site as I will explain in the next paragraph.

Monetization

Ok, let’s come to some monetization strategies Tiberius uses on his domain names site. I think it’s nothing wrong about monetizing such a content-rich site, on the contrary, it would be a bad idea not to do so.

In general, to make money from websites, you need traffic and the best traffic you can get is from search engines like Google or Yahoo for example. In order to get search engine traffic, you must provide unique and useful content. In other words, you must provide the answers to the user’s questions. If you do your job right, you’ll reap big fruits.

So, traffic shouldn’t be a problem with Tiberius’ site, although it will take a while before search engines index all the pages on Domain Names 101. But now it comes to monetizing that traffic.

One strategy he uses is contextual advertising. It’s a well known technique to monetize a site and it’s really simple to work with. All you have to do is to integrate a small piece of code in your underlying website template. That code snippet will “scan” your pages for keywords and show advertisements tailormade to those keywords and phrases. If somebody clicks on those ads, you’ll make money ranging from only some cents to several dollars. The amount depends on the keywords and how much advertisers are willing to bid on it.

Tiberius is using SpeedyAds as the advertising network of choice. It’s like Google Adsense and can bring you a nice amount of money if you have some good traffic. I’m personally using SpeedyAds too and so far I have had several clicks, including clicks on high-priced keywords.

Another money making strategy he uses are affiliate banners. Those banners are another nice way to make some real good money from your sites. Most times they are sale’s based, meaning that someone has to click on that banner and buy a product or service on the merchants page that the banner links to. You can make anything from some dollars to several hundred bucks (yes, really) from a single sale. But, as any other money maker, it higly depends on targeted traffic. People must be looking for a particular product/service you advertise via affiliate banners in order to make sales.

Conclusion

That should be all for my short review here. I think all I can say is that Tiberius’ site has a good potential to make him at least some bucks a month at the beginning. If search engines start to pick up his useful content, traffic will definitely grow and he should be able to make even more money.

Tiberius has done a good job on creating Domain Names 101, he has gathered some good information about domain names and created a great site. I wish you all the best Tiberius!

Check out his site and learn everything about domain names!

Some days ago I joined NeoBux, a new and nice PTC site that just started on April 30th. So far I referred 12 new members to this site and, with help of their and my own clicks, I already reached my first minimum payout level of only 2 Dollar.

So, the NeoBux team promises to make instant payments to Alertpay, at least the money should be sent within 48 hours. I must admit, at first that sounded very unrealistic to me, so I had to test it by myself. To my surprise, I received my 2 Dollars within around 5 seconds after pressing the cashout button! Amazing!

So far I can say that the site’s payment system works real good at the moment, although the site was often times down the last days. This must be because of all those new members the site receives everyday. They now have nearly 40,000 members and already paid nearly $2,000 to them! NeoBux definitely doesn’t look like a scam for me!

Bye bye,

Today I will give you a real life example on how I made my first affiliate sale from a niche site. Before you read on, please don’t expect some secrets in this post on how to become rich overnight! If you really want to earn money online, you have to work hard for it!. Ok, now I will tell you everything I have personally done to make my first sale online, but please notice that I’m still a noob marketer! Warning! Long post ahead!

Although there are different techniques around, affiliate marketing basically consists of the following steps:

• Choosing a product you want to promote
• Finding and joining an affiliate program for that product
• Taking some time for keyword research on phrases people likely would type into search engines
• Creating a website, blog or landing page around your main keywords, filling it with usefull content while adding your affiliate links
• Driving traffic to your sites, the more the better
• Keeping your sites updated and optimizing them for better search engine rankings
• (Optional) Choosing the next product and repeating the whole process

Sounds easy and understandable? Well, it is easy, but that doesn’t mean there’s no work involved. Trust me, it’s hard work to reach a point where you earn a good amount of money (and I’m still working on it), but in the end it pays off for sure.

Ok, let’s go! See what I’ve done to make my first bucks from affiliate marketing…

Finding a product and affiliate program

The first thing I have done, was searching for the right product to promote. I must admit, this was the easiest step involved in starting my affiliate “career”. As I’m already a member of Clickbank, I thought: “Why not choosing a software title to promote?”. After doing some research on the CB marketplace, I finally found the right product for my upcoming niche site. I won’t reveal too much details here, all I can say is, that it was some kind of system optimizer for the Windows operating system.

I had choosen this product not only because I personally like optimizing my PC everday (I’m not a geek), but also because the product has shown some high gravity on Clickbank. Gravity? Yes, gravity! It’s only another word for the popularity of a product, so to say if it’s hot or not. Another reason for choosing it, was a high commission rate of 65% from the selling price, not bad compared to other affiliate programs.

So, first two steps done. Choosen a product, choosen an affiliate program. Perfect! Now, for some harder work…

Keyword Research – The free way

Before even starting to develop my niche site, I first had to do some good keyword research on the product I’ve choosen short before. I was mainly interested in the number of competing pages and the actual daily search volume for a particular keyword.

So I went to the free Wordtracker Gtrends Tool (unfortunately down at the moment) to enter some keywords that just came into my mind after thinking about the product’s features and benefits. It turned out that the actual name of the product (sorry I really can’t reveal it here) had the most searches and a relatively small amount of competing pages. I started the Gtrends tool for that keyword and found some other long-tail keywords and phrases that had nearly no competition, but at least some searches each day. Perfect keywords for a niche sites, chances were great to get some visitors to my site!

So, I now had the right words and phrases for my affiliate site. I’ve checked how many searches occured each day, and also found the possible number of visitors to a site that is ranked #1 in Google for a given keyword.

All in all, my niche site should get some visitors, even without optimizing it too much…

Creating my Website

After I had found the right keywords and key phrases for my future niche site about a system optimizer software, all I had to do was building the actual site.

The first thing I’ve done was searching for the right domain name for my site. Luckily, I found ine where I could directly put my main keyword in. I simply took the product name (again, I won’t reveal it here), added the words “review” and registered it on Namecheap, a very reliable domain registrar. Please note that I’ve asked for permission to use brand names in my domain, that’s really important in order to stay safe from legal issues!

The hosting for my site wasn’t that problem, because I already had an account on Hostgator, where I was able to host unlimited sites for cheap. So far, they are very reliable and I haven’t faced any downtimes or problems yet. I can only recommend them, especially if you want to start many small websites to make money from!

Ok, domain name bought, hosting ready. Now I had to build my niche site.

I thought about the best way to create my website and although I’m able to program a website by myself with help of HTML and CSS, I’ve choosen a far easier option, Wordpress.

Yes, Wordpress isn’t only a blogging software anymore. You can use it as a full-blown content management system (CMS) if you will. There are dozens of great plugins and themes available online and the best thing is, a Wordpress based site is easy to manage, even for a newbie!

So, I had set up a Wordpress install for my product review site, had choosen a nice template (which shouldn’t be too fancy and graphics loaded) and installed some useful plugins like the All in One Seo Pack or a Sitemap Generator for some SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The site was now ready to be filled with content, the main ingredient for getting quaility traffic and sales…

Content for my Niche Site

The next step involved in setting up my first niche site, was writing the actual content. After setting up the Wordpress install, which I use as some kind of a content management system, writing the content was nothing more than writing skills (also I’m far from being a perfect good average writer) and including the right keywords.

My main focus was writing search engine friendly content that also appeals for readers who like to get a honest review on the product I promote on my site.

So, I’ve written only two blog posts that describe features and benefits of the system optimizer software, the product I choosed to promote and make money from (what else, hehe…)

Each post had a lenght of around 500 to 600 words and contained my main keywords, distributed throughout the whole text. That’s really important for your search engine rankings. Google, to name the big boss on the search engine market, gives more weight to sites that closely rely on given keywords. So, stay focused, but don’t look too spammy with too many keyword phrases.

After the posts were written, I added my Clickbank affiliate link, a banner in the left side menu of my site, and an advertising blog from Speedyads to monetize every kind of traffic that will come to my site.

I also cloaked my affiliate links with a simple PHP redirect. So, instead of having ugly and long affiliate links, I managed to get much nicer ones like domain.com/download.php for example.

So far I was lucky with my efforts, but something was still missing. Yeah!, traffic…

Getting Traffic to my Site

Now you probably think the hardest part of the work was finally over?! Well, I would say the work now really just began.

Driving traffic to a site is a very critical part in making affiliate sales. What would a well-written and keyword rich site be without any traffic? Nothing special in my opinion (and something you won’t ever make money from).

On my first affiliate marketing journey, to give it an other name, I mainly focused on getting organic traffic, meaning visitors from search engines like Google for example. In other words, everything but paid traffic. In order to get organic traffic, a website must at first be listed in search engines, which shouldn’t be a problem. But it must also be listed as high as possible in the search engine results pages (SERPs) , the higher the better.

There are different things you can do to improve your rankings. Besides wrtiting quality content, which I’ve already done, you have to gain backlinks to your site. Each link back to your site counts as a vote to your site.l The more votes you can get, the higher your rankings get and therfore the more traffic will reach your website.

Because the best backlinks come from high PageRank sites, my goal was to focus on gaining exactly those links.

The first thing I’ve done was submitting my site to some hundred online directories. I used a software called Directory Submitter to automate a huge part of this hard (and boring) work. I can only recommend this tool, the free edition includes some hundred directories to start with, worth a try!

The next, and probably best step was submitting articles to high PageRank article directories like Ezinearticles for example. This strategy, also known as article or bum marketing, helps alot in increasing your search engine rankings. I’ve therefore written some articles that deal about the system optimizer software I promote, most times background information and benefits from using that software.

Most article directories give you the option to include a closing paragraph, where you can set a link to the site you’re promoting. This way, after publishing the articles, you’ll get free high PageRank backlinks to your niche site. I submitted three articles to three different article directories. I haven’t submitted them all at once, but one after another over the course of one or two weeks.

The last step worth to mention, was writing a Squidoo lens about the software. Especially Google really loves Squidoo lenses, most time they rank very well in the search results. Of course I’ve also included links back to my site! Squidoo even allows affiliate links within your len’s content, a great promotion tool.

There are many more ways to drive traffic to your sites, including paid campaigns for example, but I won’t go any deeper here. Feel free to google your way to more information, I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for!

All in all, after some days my site received its first traffic from Google. I checked my current rankings and found my site at position 14 from over 300,000 directly competing pages. You see the power of article marketing?

Althoug my site rank wasn’t the best, I still received 5 to 10 unique visitors a day. It’s not much, I know, but mainly because I focused on a reall tiny niche. Anyway, the traffic was enough to bring me my first sale after only one month after starting this site. I was really surprised to see $30 in my Clickbank account!

Conclusion

Now you know how much work is involved in setting up even a small niche site. From searching a product and affiliate program, over keyword research and writing content, to driving traffic to your niche site, it’s a long way to make your first sale.

But it’s also really worth it. With some routine and a good amount of passion, everyone should be able to set up a niche site within only a week or so. If a site works out and makes at least some money, start the next one and repeat the process. It’s up to you. But don’t completely forget about your already started sites, optimization should be an ongoing task for you, although you won’t have to spend your whole time for it.

I hope you found my post at least a bit helpful. All things I’ve achieved the last month are nothing compared to what a “real” affiliate marketer deals with everyday. I knwo about this, but I’m proud enough to tell you my noob story here, it’s another goal I’ve reached. I now know that affiliate marketing really works and I would be dumb if I wouldn’t put any more efforts in it. Other projects are already in planning phase, so stay tuned!

See you soon,
Querblogger

PS: I’ll soon write about a new project from my friend Tiberius Burciu, owner of My PPC Advertising. Well…you’ll see!

Some days ago I reported about NeoBux, a new and professional looking PTC site. They call themselve the “innovation in PTC” and I can only say that’s true. Compared to other sites where you make money from clicking ads, NeoBux offers some new and even better features like instant payments, low minimum payouts starting from $2.00 or a referral renting system which is about to be implemented.

NeoBux opened its doors on April 30th and I’ve done my best to invite as many people as I can. At the moment the site has over 30,000 members, which sounds huge at the first moment but compared to 5,000,000 members on Bux.to for example, it’s only the beginning. Because the site is still very young, there’s a huge potential in referring new members to NeoBux. So, my tip to everyone reading this is: “Join NeoBux and start referring your friends now, as long as the site isn’t too popular!”

Ok, I currently have referred 8 new members to NeoBux with 6 of them actively clicking on the ads shown everyday. From every ad click from my refs I make $0.005 and so my balance went from zero to over $1.00 within only 5 days. So, only another 5 days and I should reach my first minimum payout limit, where I will see if NeoBux really pays instantely. I will report about it

So, if you want to join this great site, feel free to use my referral link here or read a review on NeoBux first!

Thanks my friends and fellow readers and keep on clicking!

Once again it’s time for a new report. April is over now and I’m glad to say that it made me the highest monthly income so far. It’s also the first time I made an affiliate sale, I will tell about it in short.

Besides porting my blog from Blogger to a self-hosted Wordpress install, April was mainly characterized by two things I’ve done to make money online. The first things was buying more referrals for Bux.to in order to increase my daily earnings, the second thing was setting up my first niche website to generate affiliate commissions.

In April I made a total of $75, where $40 came from Bux.to, $30 from affiliate sales and the rest from other money makers like Triond or Speedyads (contextual ads on my blog) for example.

The last days I have bought 65 referrals for Bux.to and I’m currently making around $3.5 a day. I’m also waiting for my second payment of $75 to my brand new Bux.to Mastercard. Bux.to is definitely the best PTC at the moment. It has incredible huge income potential (it’s not a scam, I already got paid and many others too). I will invest more into this site in order to increase my daily earnings even more. But I will only invest money that I already have earned from clicking ads on this site.

This month I’ve also set up my first niche site, which I use for affiliate marketing. I won’t reveal the site’s address here (I don’t want more competition). All I can say is, that I have around 300,000 competitors for my choosen keyword and the site is already ranked at position 24 in the Google SERPS. That in turn means, I get some targeted search engine traffic and therefore sales. This month I made my first sale, which brought me an instant $30 to my Clickbank account (yes, I promote a Clickbank product). All I have done for starting this niche site, was setting up a Wordpress blog with only 2 keyowrd oriented posts on it. Combined with some articles that I’ve published on different article directories, I have increased the overall site ranking very fast. I will tell you more about my attempts in one of my next posts.

In April my blog received his first Pagerank. I now have a PR 2 blog, thanks Google! My Alexa ranking has increased to 427,078 with an weekly average of around 200,000. This month 1,610 unique visitors found their way to my blog, that’s an average of 50+ visitors a day. I have to definitely increase this traffic for the future. My feed subscriber count shows 20 at the moment, well…far away from perfect.

Ok, this should be all for now. Check my latest post about NeoBux for a brand new money maker! More information will come this month, I’ll go into some details about affiliate marketing (or call it “serious” money making) and many aother things. So, stay tuned!

The new PTC site called NeoBux has now gone live and I have already made my first cents from clicking. With help of 5 referrals (3 active ones), I made a total of $0.175. I know this doesn’t sound like much, but it’s not bad for a PTC site with only 5 refs, trust me on this.
