Today I received my first check from Clickbank, a small piece of paper worth $350. The check was sent last wednesday and I’m amazed how fast it was delivered.

The money was made during my last months’ work on different niche sites that I own. I must admit, these sites are not the best money makers that I have, but they still generate some small bucks here and there, regardless if I promote them or not.

Now I only need to receive 2 extra checks before I’m eligible to receive funds via direct bank deposit, which is even faster and doesn’t involve taking the check to my local bank. Clickbank requires one to get at least 3 checks in any 90 days period for verifying measures. Once the third check finally arrives and the money is successfully banked to your local account, you can enter your bank details and Clickbank will pay you on a weekly(!) basis.

All in all, this Clickbank check was a nice christmas surprise and it’s definitely good for buying some gifts from it (my family demands this…). And yes, I could have posted a nice payment proof showing my huge CB check (e.g. like Jeremy Shoemaker did with his check from Google), but I think nowadays it’s way too easy to fake such stuff and it therefore doesn’t really make sense to show you at all. But you can trust me that Clickbank is a paying company!

Now I’m lucky. What else should I say?!

See you,

I’ve just created a separate page to show you my earnings for the last months. I’ve listed them chronologically, monnth by month with links to detailed reports that show you how I made the money and how well (or not so well) my blog performed. You can find it in the top naviagtion or by clicking here!

Happy reading!

Finally, after 4 months of working with probably the most popular PTC on the net, I hit the 20 dollar mark in my daily earnings. I currently have a total of 1228 referrals, with 1060 of them rented via NeoBux’s Rent-A-Ref system.

Sounds like I’m bragging about my earnings, huh? Well I won’t lie if I tell you that I’m at least a bit proud of my earnings. But the good thing is, you too can achieve such earnings with NeoBux, it only takes some time!

I personally started with nothing but my blog where I wrote some posts about that so called innovative PTC. After some days I got my first direct referrals, not many but enough to make me some $0.50 a day (sometimes less). I immediately re-invested all the money I made, just to rent my first referrals. My earnings slowly but steadily increased until I found it’s time to upgrade my account to a Golden membership.

The Golden membership let my earnings explode. Not only did I get more ads to click on everyday, but also the earnings made through my referrals doubled. Referral packs got cheaper and I also made 10% on every purchases my direct refs made. I was now able to make around $10 per day.

Over the last weeks I concentrated my efforts in getting more referrals. Every week I tried, and most times was able to rent another 100 refs. I also played the referral jackpot and even won 5 times, another 500 referrals in my downline! Althoug many refs are quite inactive these days (maybe because of vacations time), I still made around $18 per day.

Finally, last Friday I rented 100 more referrals and my daily earnings reached an amazing $20 per day! The whole time I re-invested every single cent back into buying new referrals and recycling lazy ones. I’m now slowly getting into a position where I’ll be able to exponentially grow my earnings. Because I make quite a few bucks each day, I have enough bucks to play the referral jackpot more often, and chances of winning it are quite good if you buy all 40 possible tickets.

Ok, you see how I personally reached these earnings. I’ll want to demonstrate you that you too can start from nothing, and if you keep focused you’ll make that money too. Don’t give up in the beginning, although you’re only making a few cents each day. Trust me, you’ll slowly getting into the money if you set yourself a goal and work toward it!

Join NeoBux today and start your own money making career (or at least make some extra money each month)!

Today I will write about Kontera’s ContenLink ad publishing network and how it may help you in monetizing your blog. I thought it was time to continue my “series” about blog monetization methods that I began in December 2007. Back then it presented three different money makers called WidgetBucks, Bidvertiser and Fair Ads Network.

Kontera provides a full-featured advertising network that offers in-text advertising, another attractive method for making money from your blog (and also your regular website’s) content. It’s really simple, you place a short code snippet in your blog’s template (they even offer an automatic tool for Blogger.com blogs) where you want those ads to appear. Whenever a page of your blog gets loaded, the code parses your content for particular keywords that different advertisers bid on and it highlights them just like a regular hyperlink. When your site visitors click on one of those links, you’ll make money. You may see such links while looking at my posts here on this blog, they are double underlined.

I’ve implemented Kontera’s ContentLink technology some days ago after I got accepted in their publisher network. I use their very own Wordpress plugin to make my life a little easier with integrating Kontera on my blog. So far I made $1.77 in four days with an average CTR (Click-Through Rate) of around 2.50%. The average click price is at $0.30, but I must admit that I only have stats for those four days!

It seems that this ad publishing solution does work real good for content sites, so far that’s the highest CTR I’ve ever seen from all those advertising networks that I tested here on my blog. To give you an example, my CTR on Speedyads is at 0.20%!

Kontera pays at a Net 30 basis, meaning they pay you 30 days after a month’s end. In order to get paid you have to reach $100 as the minimum payout limit. Payments are made via Paypal, Check and even international bank transfer.

Kontera’s ContentLink looks very promising and I’ll leave it on my blog for some more weeks to get some better and more realistic statistics. Right now I’m very happy with their network, earnings are quite good so far and I’m really surprised to see such a high click-through rate, which is a good sign for making good money. As always, revenues also highly depend on your blog’s or website’s traffic, the more the better.

Well, this should be my 4th short update on my progress with “My Homepages Friends”, a new site I just recently joined to make me some money from just searching the net as I regulary would. Have a look at my original post about getting paid for searching the internet to know what I’m talking about!

After nearly two weeks being a member on My Homepages Friends I’m very lucky about my current earnings from this site. So far I have done 127 searches and there are already £2.15 in my account. That’s nearly $4.20, depending on the current exchange rate. You can check the rate by simply typing it into Google, in my example simple type “2.15 pound in dollar” into the Google search field and Big G will tell you the exchange rate (Google knows everything, even the answer to life, the universe and everything).

My 13 referred friends have made a total of 274 searches so far, which brought me another $0.37 (10% of their earnings). Thanks to all!

As I already said, I really like MHF and I have no doubt that they won’t pay. They have officially partnered with Yahoo! as their underlying search engine and I highly doubt that the guys from Yahoo! would make a partnership with a scam site!

You can join My Homepages Friends with help of my referral link (if you want to support me)!

I’ll soon write about some methods for getting referrals for MHF, so you all can start to build a nice downline in order to make some more bucks. Everybody needs some extra cash! Well, more on this later.

Cheers,
