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,

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…
