To make it short, within the next few days several money making programs will launch their services or introduce brand new features. It seems like April and May are very popular months for a fresh start.

Ok, the first service in the list is the Fair Ads Network. I’ve already reported about this advertising company that tries to compete with major players like Google Adsense for example. Until now FAN was in beta phase and will officially start at April 29th. Although I don’t use FAN on my blog at the moment, I’m looking forward to implement their advertising codes on my site again. I had removed them because the ad blocks didn’t show any ads at all for me (hence the beta phase). You can use FAN just like Google Adsense or Adwords for monetizing your blog/website or creating your own PPC campaigns.

The second site, that will open its doors on April 30th, is NeoBux, a brand new PTC site with some innopvative new features like instant payments for example. I’ve reported about them some days ago, you can find the post about NeoBux here (or have a look at my Squidoo lens I’ve just created).

The third site worth to mention is Adbux. Although this PTC is around for a long time, the Adbux staff is about to introduce exciting new features. Adbux will (re)launch on May 1st, so stay tuned and watch for some nice new features to make even more money online.

The fourth and last site in my list of (re)launches is Bux.to. The staff is working hard on implementing the new script, which should solve the statistics update problems and (hopefully) make payments faster. Unfortunately I can’t say the excact date when “Bux Reload”, like they call it now, will start. But most members (including the forum admins) bet on May 1st. Well, let’s hope the best!

Ok, that should be all for now. Feel free to check those sites by yourself!

Today I got a mail from Adbux with some hot information that I will share with you, unless you have already got the same mail. Adbux celebrates its first birthday and the team is about adding more stunning features to their PTC program in May.

There are some really nice features to come to Adbux within the next weeks. Here are the new promised features as stated in their mail:

Revenue Share System

Adbux will offer a new structure for paying its users. Instead of getting paid directly, you’ll get shares from their company which you can sell back to Adbux anytime you want. So, for every click you do, for every offer you take, you’ll get shares. Their target share value is set to $1.00, which will rise if the company is doing well.

Get Paid for Knowledge

You may know Yahoo Answers, where you can answer (and ask) questions for other people? So, Adbux will be pay you for doing so in the future.

Get Paid to Search the Net

Adbux will start their very own search engine, where you also get paid for each search you do.

Get Paid to Play Games

Yes, you’ve heard right! In the future you will earn points/shares for playing games on Adbux. That’s quite an interesting feature in my opinion, making money while having fun.

AdBux Charity

Adbux will spend 5% of all the revenue that is generated on their site to charities. You will also have the option to donate by yourself!

New Payment Processors

It turns out that Alertpay is facing many problems lately. Several sites, including Bux.to, are reporting payment problems. To overcome those problems, Adbux will add new payment processors and, just like Bux.to, their very own debit card!

Multiple Levels

The referral system will get more levels. So, you will earn even more, not only from your direct referrals, but also from those members several levels below. The new system will be released during the next quarter.

Language Support

Easy, Adbux will support more languages in the future.

Daily Payouts

Premium members are able to receive daily payments.

So, let’s see if those features really get integrated within the next week/month. It would be nice to see such new additions and it would make Adbux a great PTC site again (at the moment I favour Bux.to).

Bye bye,

Adbux

Last Tuesday I told you that Adbux is down and many people, especially from the Bux.to forum, made their jokes and thought they will never come back. It turned out that they are not scamming its users for the moment, because they are back. They resolved their problems with the hoster Aplus. You can visit Adbux as normal, everything is fine for now.

Bux.to

Since some days there were some problems regarding payments via Paypal. It seems Paypal doesn´t like PTC sites and so they stopped the business with Bux.to some days ago (as with many other PTC sites in these days). This doesn´t mean you won´t get paid to your Paypal account, that´s the same as usual. But you can´t do any payments via Paypal like upgrading to a premium membership or buying referral packs. At the moment Alertpay is the only option. But they are searching for a solution. I repeat, payments arrive as usual via Paypal!

Have a nice weekend!

… at least for the moment.

Currently there are many rumors on different forums and blogs, because Adbux, a nice PTC site where you can earn by clicking ads and doing free and trial offers, is down. Many people think that the Adbux team turns out to be scammers, especially members on Bux.to do some heavy discussions about that topic.

Both mentioned PTC sites have a bad relationship since Adbux suspected Bux.to for stealing their website script. On the other side the Bux.to members suspect the owner of Adbux to be a big scammer, namely Chad French, who already scammed his members on Netbux (another PTC site that´s now down). There is a nice article on MrGPT about this topic.

Personally I don´t see it a such a bad sign if a web server fails for some days. Usually this happens if there´s a too high load on the CPU and databases (or on bad web hosts), which in turn means there are a lot of visitors. Sure, on the first sight and with those infos about Chad French in mind, one would fear that Adbux went down forever, but I personally think they will be up again within a day or too (as they also state on their current website message).

If it would turn out, that they are really scamming its members, I would feel angry for sure. I will loose around $8 and I´ve promoted a program that actually wasn´t worth it. But who really knows beforehand…

Wish you all the best,
Querblogger

Today I want to give you some information on my best paying sites I joined so far. This will probably help you to choose the right money making programs and it will also help me, because I get an overview about my earnings and if those programs are really worth all the work involved in it.

I regulary visit all the programs I´ve joined the last month to make some money from them. Sometimes it´s a really time consuming task to click all those advertisings or to write articles and forum posts to make some cents, so it would be nice to see on what programs you should concentrate. So today I checked the statistics from each of these programs to see how much I´ve earned from them and, much more important, to see how much time is involved for doing this.

It turned out that especially some of those PTC programs are really time consuming and won´t make you money fast. But you know, I don´t have too much time to complete my personal goal on making 100 bucks until April 1st 2008, so I have to “filter” my income streams (yes, it really isn´t an income as one would aspect Long story short, here comes my list with the best paying programs that I´ll further concentrate in and that would be helpful to you too:

Triond

If you like writing in general and also want to make money from it, than Triond is probably one of the best sites you can join. You can monetize your articles there and get monthly payouts from them. I personally like Triond, because there I can write about things that doesn´t deal about making money online (although I like it alot). I´m really interested in the web and all the things you can do there, so most of my articles deal about internet related things like Google Earth or free online music players for example. For this month I got $0.44 so far without publishing a new article there, those cents are all from ad revenues my articles generate each day. It isn´t that much, but it´s nearly free money and I think if you´ll write more articles, you´ll also earn more (especially if you make your name).

Subvert and Profit

That´s the evil part of my money making “career”. (@Midwest: yes, a running gag Subvert and Profit is a site that pays you for diggin other stories or favor them with StumbleUpon. I know it´s a bit of a black market I´m involved with, but I´ll definitely need the money in my first months. Subvert and Profit pays $0.50 for each task you complete (usually you´ll get 5 or more per month). It doesn´t mean I´m only digging stories I get from S&V, I usually do so for all articles I really like to read. I won´t go into detail about this program, check it out by yourself to see if it´s for your liking (and I´m a bit ashamed too because of using S&V ;-| )

Adbux

What I most like about Adbux is their new offers system, where you´ll get paid for choosing and completing different kind of offers. They started those offers last month and are constantly increasing the numbers you can choose from. I´ve already completed 4 free offers and I´m now waiting to get credited my earnings into my account (it takes 32 days for getting your credits). A good amount of such offers are free, you mostly have to take some sort of survey and that kind, it´s really easy to make some Dollars from them. Adbux has also a PTC program, but this usually doesn´t make me too much money, only some cents each day. But I like the offers and will look forward to complete more of them. Notice that Advercash now also has a offers program. I earned $0.50 for completing 2 of them. The best thing about Advercash is their better PTC program (compared to Adbux).

Bux

Bux is definitely the best paying PTC site I´ve joined so far! Really, I´ll usually get up to 8 advertising links I can click on each day. That makes me up to $0.08 each day (or around $2.40 for each month). As I joined Bux at the beginning of October I only got 4 or 5 ads per day. It seems they are getting more popular and more advertisers spend there money, which in turn will help me and you for making money online. If you´re about to join a PTC program I can really recommend Bux, not only because of the money, but also because of their clean and fast loading website.

Blogsvertise

This is my newest money maker. Blogsvertise is a site where you´ll get paid for reviewing (or only mentioning) others sites and services, I´ve written a short article about them lately. I hope I´ll get more tasks in the future and become a full member, at the moment I´m on Probation status because my blog is too young. So I “only” get $2.00 for each review I made, which could be up to $15 if my blog gets fully approved. I´ve heared from my friend Midwest, that he got $5.00 for the same service he reviewed and his (really great) blog is around one and a half month older than mine.

There are many other programs that I´ll regulary visit for the future. Mylot for example is a very useful social forum that pays you for writing entries or starting new discussions. The best thing about it is finding new friends, you can also promote your blog and help other people with problems they have (I really like that).

But I´m also looking for new (maybe better paying) sites out there that can help me achieving my goals. I think there are some hot links that are only waiting to be found…

Cheers,
Querblogger

I have a short update just before the first month of my making money experiment ends. Nothing really big, but worth to mention.

Adbux Offers

As I´ve written in my last article, Adbux now comes with offers for which you´ll get paid. Today I´ve completed my second offer which brought me $3.06 just for joining another website. Together with my last offer, which brought me $2.70, I now have earned $5.76 for doing nothing really special, only for registering on two websites. I now have to wait until next month, then these earnings will go into my Adbux balance. I you haven´t already, you can join Adbux here.

Wordlinx Paid Mails

Yesterday I got an email from Wordlinx with some infos about their new paid mail service. They told me that from now on everybody who receives their newsletter will automatically receive paid mails, which will bring up to $0.05 each. Notice, that you have to check the option for receiving such mails in your account settings. From now on one can get paid even more. Wordlinx is actually one of the best paying PTC´s in my personal list, so I´m happy to hear that news.

Subvert and Profit Tasks

This month I got 4 tasks from Subvert and Profit, which will bring me $2.00 to my balance. It´s really nice, especially because they are back again since only around two weeks now.

My first month with this blog will be over in 2 days, then I´ll present you my October earnings, some blog statistics like visitors or subscribers and some of my future goals. For now all I can say is, that I´m very surprised how far I got the last days. Be sure to check back on October 31st to see my results!

Until Wednesday,
Querblogger

The guys from Adbux have done it again! Beside clicking on ads, you now can make money for completing offers, a lot more than just some (micro)cents.

As I checked my Adbux account yesterday, I was very surprised to see this silently introduced new feature (no, actually they mentioned it some weeks ago, but I didn´t realise that). You are now able to choose between regular paid ads and offers, with the help of a new drop-down menu at the top navigation bar.

The Adbux team claims to have about 80 offers in 239 countries worldwide, so it likely that you´ll receive one of them. The amount of offers will definitely grow with time and it seems that there will be a huge income potential compared to just clicking some ads.

How does it work?

It´s easy. All you have to do is clicking the link provided with each offer and completing the registration or taking a survey (follow the instructions next to the offer link). After that you must click the submit button. Then it´ll take up to 3 days for getting approved (mine took only some hours). The money you´ve earned will go into your balance after 32 days, because Adbux has to wait for advertiser payments, which usually come in one month after completing an offer. For example, if you take an offer at October 1st, the advertiser payments will come in at November 1st. October has 31 days, plus the first November day, will add up to 32 days (easy, isn´t it?

How much can I make?

I took one offer so far, which brought me $ 2.70 just for completing a registration form for a survey institute (be sure to use a seperate email adress to avoid spam mails in your inbox).

The official anouncement states, that one can get up to $10.00 per free offer, sometimes even more. You get paid more for offers, where you have to purchase something or pay for a membership, but personally I wouldn´t take those, because no one can say for sure if all advertisers will actually pay Adbux and so pay you.

The best thing about the new offers system is the wonderful referral program. Guess what you´ll get for each of your completed referral offer? You won´t believe me, it´s 50% as a regular user and even 100% as a premium member! Not bad. You can even benefit from this if you live in a country that didn´t get any offers so far. If you have referrals from around the world, it´s very likely that you still receive commissions from your downline.

From now on it will be much easier to reach the $10.00 minimum payout at Adbux. Hopefully this will help me to achieve my goals for earning $100 within 6 month.

I suggest everybody reading this to join Adbux, it´s worth it (and yes, this is a referral link

Salut!
Querblogger

After joining Adbux some days ago, I´ve just added 3 more Paid to Click programs to my (mini) income stream yesterday.

The first one was Wordlinx, where you get $0.01 for clicking a single advertising link. They pay via Paypal with a payout limit of $10.00 and it seems that there are at least 5 advertisings shown to you per day. They also offer a referral program.

The second PTC site I´ve joined was Bux. They will pay you $0.01 per own click and $0.01 for each click one of your referrals will do. I have also received a $0.09 Sign-up Bonus and got 5 advertisings, which made instantely up 14 cents. Let´s see how many ads will be shown each day.

The third program is called Adcash. They claim that you can earn up to $1.00, but i got only around $0.01 per click so far. From time to time they will ask you to give away your email adress for marketing purposes and I think only then you´ll get one dollar, I definitely have to test that out.

What all these sites have in common is the way you´ll earn your cents. It´s easy. You have to click on an advertising link, wait some seconds (that will be shown in a top frame) and then you get paid. I know that this may be a waste of time, because you won´t earn very much, but I think the whole secret lies in referring other people to earn more (although it won´t let you guit you job, but let´s see…). So, if you join, try to find referrals. If you can´t get anyone, there is even the possibility to buy some, but I would definitely try it the “hard” way

I will test these Paid to Click sites for the next days, then I can show you my earnings and give some reviews to let you know if it´s worth the effort.

That´s all for the moment.
Have a nice day!
