I know, it was long time ago since my last update on Subvert and Profit. But today I got some major news regarding S&P that I want to share with you.

S&P now doesn´t support Paypal anymore. According to a mail I received today, these are the reasons for dropping Paypal and choosing Google Checkout as a new payment option:

Subvert and Profit has switched our payment systems from Paypal to Google Checkout to serve users in more countries and save on transaction fees. Now, users may send us an “Invoice” to receive money from your Subvert and Profit account. Your withdrawal request will be paid directly to your bank account within 7 business days. After establishing a Google Checkout account that contains your bank account information, log in to Google Checkout; go to “Tools”, then “Send and Invoice” and fill in the form:

At first sight it sounds really nice, more people will actually be able to receive money from S&P. But there´s also a downside, in order to sign-up for an account on Google Checkout, you need a credit card. And that´s a problem in my opinion, because I know that not everyone (including me) has a credit card by hand. I hope they´ll find a solution for this problem.

But there´s also a second fact I noticed the last weeks. Since they raised their pricings for each stumble/digg to $2.00 each, there are no more advertisers. At least this is what I have recognized, I got no new task from S&P since weeks (and the same goes for my 12 referrals). It seems buying diggs/stumbles is way too expensive now, especially when there are free services around where you can exchange diggs/stumbles etc. I hope they´ll fix this too, because nobody will make money anymore. Maybe the golden times are over now?

Have a good day,
Querblogger

PS: As mentioned yesterday, Paid.vg had some cashout problems. They now have fixed the issues and moved their payout date from the 22nd to the 25th. The cashout verification system you may have seen lately, has also been removed due to many users complaining about it

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,
Querblogger

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,
Querblogger

I just want to inform you that today I´ve reached the $10 minimum payout limit on Subvert and Profit. I´ve been a member there for around 2 month now, but these earnings were generated in around one and a half month.

Subvert and Profit is basically a site that pays you for either digging other peoples stories or voting for those articles with StumbleUpon. You´ll get $0.50 for each task from them, with an average of 10 tasks per month. A bit evil, but easy money in my opinion, although I won´t suggest anybody doing this for the long term (you may get banned from Digg or StumbleUpon).

I´ve just withdrew the $10 to my Paypal account and I´m currently waiting for the money to be send (it may take some days). I´ll inform you when I´ll get paid, so you can see that S&P isn´t a scam or that like.

See you,
Querblogger

Update: I´ve received my $10 payment with PayPal one day after withdrawing my balance! So, Subvert and Profit is definitely NO scam! Feel free to join them, it´s worth it.

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

Subvert and Profit seems to be working normal know. There were some troubles past weeks, mainly because they changed their webhost and, tragically, one of their founders died by an accident. My heartfelt sympathy!

Today my Stumble Upon account got verified by S&P (before only my Digg account was verified) and I just received my first story to digg. The story was actually hidden within 4 articles, so I had to digg them all. This has to be done because otherwise you may get banned from Digg or SU because of gaming their TOS. Long story short, I received my $0.50 within an hour (yes, they pay you half a dollar per digg/stumble!). Im looking forward on how frequent those stories will come into my inbox, hopefully there will be some, because you can really make good (and easy) money with Subvert and Profit.

You even have the possibility to refer other people, you´ll get 20% of their earnings and 10% if you refer an advertiser. It´s not bad in my opinion, but it heavily relies on how much diggs or stumbles you´ll get into your account.

PS: Subvert and Profit has a really fast and helpful support. If you have some questions, that don´t get answered in their FAQ, simply send an email. I got my response within an hour.

Cheerio!

This should only be a short update in what I´m currently involved.

First thing is getting referrals. I know, the key for success in Paid to Click programs (and others sites where you can earn some cents online) is getting more referrals in your downline. So my todays attempt was joining a site called Getref.com, where you will earn credits for joining other peoples programs. These credits you can invest in getting referrals for your own program. I´ve tried this today for 2 new PTC, respectively Paid to Read (PTR) programs. I simply signed up under 2 other GetRef users, they will credit me when they see that I´m actually not an inactive member.

The first program I had joined was Hits4Pay, a Paid to Read program that sends you E-Mails, each worth $0.02. But I didn´t have received a single mail so far. It seems they have some problems, because I´ve heard from other members, which also have no mails in their inbox. I´ve 2 days left for getting credited by GetRef, so I hope I will receive some mails until then.

The second site was Advercash, paying you $0.01 per click on an ad. Nothing special about this, the site is just like the other programs I´ve already joined.

Today I noticed that Subvert and Profit is back. Their servers were down for some weeks because they changed their webhost. SaP pays its members for digging websites. You will earn $0.50 (yes, 50 cents!) per Digg or per one “Thumbs up” with StumbleUpon. But you have to be careful, because it´s against the TOS of Digg and StumbleUpon to gaim their services. SaP de-refers and hides every click you take. It also hides the actual link that you got paid for, so you have to digg/stumble more then one website at the same time. At the moment they are busy on bringing up their service again, so it may take some days for actually start earning. I will review Subvert and Profit in one of my next posts.

So, nothing more happend so far. Have a nice weekend!
