“Golden membership upgrades will now require a minimum set of requirements to be fulfilled.” (further details here)

That’s the top news for today! Basically what it means is that you have to fulfill some requirements in order to upgrade your account to a Golden membership.

The requirements:

- You need to have made a minimum of 100 clicks
- You need to have rented 200 referrals
- You have to be a member for 30 days and more

That’s about it. All in all not too much of a big deal in my opinion. But the effects might possibly turn NeoBux in an even more powerful PTC since those measures will hopefully increase the overall clicking rate. And, which is the best of all, it’ll let new members get a better understanding on how to correctly handle a Golden account (e.g. ref management, the need to click their own ads…).

We’ll see!
Discussions are open now

Bye,

Just recently I’ve seen many NeoBux members complaining about how bad NeoBux is, be it low click averages or the difficulty to rent new refs etc. Some days ago I found a thread on the NB forum where someone complained about the new mini rental queue for Golden members. I just felt to re-post my answer to his thread here on TMME:

“I really don’t understand all those complaints about not getting referrals, making no profits…the list could go on and on. Regardless of your membership level, you definitely CAN get referrals with Neobux, it’s only a matter of your mindset and how much patience and stamina you put into your efforts.

I for myself have joined Neobux around 7 months ago in the good old Pioneer times, but without having any referrals. I first built blogs and websites to promote NeoBux to gain some direct referrals. A lot of hard work, some weeks I didn’t do anything other than promoting NeoBux.

Slowly, very slowly, I got some direct refs and my daily earnings increased. I got like $0.50 a day and was so lucky with it (or should I say overly excited?). I saved up all the money I earned from my refs and my clicked ads until I finally could rent my first referrals. It wasn’t too easy to get those refs, just like the situation today. But I was still happy with my progress, hey I was even lucky with 50 refs in my downline.

Several weeks passed by and I did slowly build up my earnings by renting new refs and referring new people to this great PTC. I failed multiple times to purchase even the smallest rental package due to the huge demand. I played dozens of referral jackpots just to lose several hundred bucks while having a meager success. But sometimes I was lucky and could grab some fresh refs. Again, I was lucky since I saw my referrals slowly increasing, and so my earnings too.

Over the time my downline increased, slowly but steadily. Again I saved my money to upgrade my account to a Golden membership. A step I would never regret since it brought so much benefits. Anyways, renting refs became even more difficult these days, but I still managed to get some new ones, even after failing several times in a row.

Some weeks ago Neobux introduced the Golden Packs. Great new features, but for a heavy price. It took me quite some time to decide whether or not to invest in such a pack. But the confidence in Neobux finally confirmed my descission, namely to go for the Ultimate Pack. A massive 810 bucks went from my bank account to Neobux, and trust me, for me that wasn’t anything but play money…

Now, while being an Ultimate member, I finally have a rental queue available, getting 200 refs within 2 days, incredible, awesome!But, you know what? I can only use that queue like 5 times before I reach the maximum number of refs in my downline. Or, to put it in other words, I managed to get around 3000 referrals without having any queue available over the course of the last 6 months! And now some people are complaining that the newly introduced rental queue for Golden members is useless? Damn it!

Sorry, let me calm down a bit. No offense to anybody here in this thread!

What I want to say is that with some hard work ANYTHING is achievable! As I already said, I personally started with nothing, no refs, no money, not even a plan how to get my ass up. But I realised that you have to set yourself a goal and work toward it, something I also regulary tell my fellow blog readers.

If you have a plan and work hard for it, you WILL reach your goals, be it getting more referrals, financial freedom, finding the holy grail (well, that could really get a bit difficult). But PLEASE don’t say anything is bad, which in fact is the complete opposite!

Renting referrals is extremely difficult these days, and will be in the future, quaranteed. But let’s face it, if you stick to your goals you’ll also overcome these hurdles, it only takes a little longer. Take me as a good example if you will. I now have around 3500 3800 refs and making some nice profits here. It took me 7 months to get there, but it was still worth the time!”

You see, that’s basically my strategy I follow with NeoBux. There’s simply no room for complaining in my opinion. What really matters is hard work and patience. Only then you’ll reach your goals!

Besides small visual changes like mouseover texts and modified styles, the NeoBux admin has now introduces several new realtime statistics that’ll make our lifes easier.

Those stats include detailed information on the money spent to pay for your refs for another month and how much you’ve deposited in your renting balance. Combined with the already available stats that show your autopay values and recycling costs, those new stats provide even more detailed info to make managing your NeoBux account easier.

Ultimate members will benefit even more. They get two extra stats, one that shows your overall expenses (autopay, pay for another month, recycling) and gains (direct plus rented referrals’s earnings) with two different colored graphs and one that shows your daily net profits (all gains minus all expenses). Especially the last one is a nice way to see what you’re really earning with NeoBux. For me it’s actually a net profit of around $30 plus the additional commissions from referral earnings (around $5 to $25 per day).

What I’m missing so far is another stat that shows my earnings from referral commissions since it’s quite time consuming to caculate those earnings based on all that many history entries (I won’t brag about it, but I have a lot of entries each day). Anyways, maybe Admin will think about it.

Overall I’m extremely happy about these new stats. Good work Mr. Rato!

PS: Now you’ll also be notified by a yellow star that appears next to your NeoBux username whenever something happens with your account, e.g. a failed login attemp, new direct refs or fresh commissions earned. Nice and helpful!

NeoBux is introducing a monthly contest, for Standard members only!

The person who has accumulated the most clicks in a single month will receive a one year Golden membership PLUS an Ultimate upgrade pack paid for one year! That’s worth $980!

There will also be choosen 5 people who might win a Golden membership if they click 4 ads on every single day of a month. A $90 value!

Winners will be immediately known by the end of each month (yes, the contest will be held monthly). The contest is already live, so go on and grab those packs by clicking your ads!

I highly appreciate this step, since it might heavily increase the overall click rates of the refs in our downlines. Those rates have decreased the last days and many people are already complaining not to make any profits anymore. Hopefully this contest will encourage more people to click all their ads. Hey, it’s not that difficult to invest exactly 2 minutes of your time each day!

See ya,

To keep this post short and simple, Paypal is back! You can now use Paypal for both purchases AND cashouts again!

You’re not already a member of NeoBux but want to make some nice extra money? Feel free to join under me if you want!

Yes, it gets boring to only write about the same money maker each day, but these news are quite important! Paypal has just released/unfrozen the NeoBux account, which means that the financial stability from NeoBux is secured again.

It seems that it came to Paypal’s attention that several thousand members started complaining about Paypal and their strange behavior, mainly due to all the posts in the NeoBux forum and even a petition that got signed by more than 3,000 people.  They apologized for all the incoveniences and re-opened the NB account and also raised the limit of it. Now it’s up to the Admin whether he will use Paypal again or not, but I believe we’ll see Paypal back soon (although it’s just a feeling).

Another good thing happend some hours ago. I just made a new Alertpay cashout today (only 16 Bucks), but somehow my NeoBux balance didn’t reflect it, meaning I still had the money in my account plus in my Alertpay account. Since I’m usually a honest person, I immediately submitted a support ticket stating my “problems” and it took them only around 2 hours to reply and correct it. And the best thing, the admin gave me 100 referrals for free since I was so honest with him and NeoBux (thanks again, you’re great!). Now I’m even more lucky!

Ok, back to work.

See you later,

No really, I just have upgraded my NeoBux account to the highest possible membership, the Ultimate one. Although two features are currently missing (the rental queue and vacation mode), everything seems running real fine. I’ve already recycled a whole bunch of my refs for only $0.05 each and extended some of my refs rental time for $0.03 less the usual amount.

I’ll keep you updated when I’ll see some first results from the new Ultimate pack!

PS: Please don’t expect some major new posts within the next days since I’m currently involved in a brand new project that unfortunately needs nearly all of my time. I’ll post about it later on, but only if it works for me (and it should in theory and also bring me a lot of money)…

Just some short, but bad news from NeoBux. Paypal has frozen 72% of funds in the NeoBux account and also suspended the account for the next 180 days. The reasons? With one word, Paypal…

Paypal isn’t giving the NeoBux admin any specific information besides telling him that “too many transactions were done with his account”. WTF? What did they expect from a PTC site with nearly 2 million members, 10 transactions a day or what? Although you can use Paypal nearly everywhere on the web, I really believe they get worse each day, now that they also refuse to work with one of the rarely honest PTC’s on the web, and that in times of one bank crisis after the other…that’s ridiculous!

Anyway, NeoBux admin has announced that instant payments won’t be affected by this “ban”. In fact, nothing will change with NeoBux besides only having Alertpay left as a payment processor. The site business is still running stable, although a great portion of the funds are frozen right now.

Maybe it’s time to introduce NeoBux’s own debit card? Maybe this ban isn’t as bad as we all think it is as it drives even more innovation. Well, we’ll see…

Some major news from NeoBux! Today the pre-ordering phase for some new enhanced memberships has started and will run until October 13th. Below is an overview of all the different available packs:

You see, the price are exceptionally high, but the benefits are simply amazing. Those new membership are especially lucrative when you have lots of referrals, I would assume at least more than 1,000 if not more. In order to be able to buy those packs you already have to be a Golden member and should have been clicked 500 ads, only then you’ll be able to pre-order those packs.

Today I funded my Golden Upgrade account with $810 and I will go for the Ultimate pack. You may call me crazy to invest so much money in a PTC, but I’m quite relaxed since NeoBux has paid me already 5 times, instantly! I’m quite sure they will still exist after I broke even with this investment.

So that means saving every single cent for the next weeks to come to get my investment back. With help of the Ultimate pack I should make an extra $10 or $15 per day, so it shouldn’t be that problem. But the benefits will really start to kick in when I have more referrals. Well, let’s see. I’ll keep you up-to-date!

See you later,

PS: Today I made my first sale on one of my newly created niche websites, yeah!
PPS: Sorry for the bad image quality…

I just want to give you some short updates on what’s going on in the money making world and with my current progress.

First, NeoBux has introduced a slightly different referral renting system and has also increased prices. You can read about it in the News section of my NeoBux lens or here at the NeoBux forum. Think about what you want, I personally don’t see too much benefits of the new system right now. But let’s see how it will work out and if it really increases the overall referral click rate (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, have a look at the NeoBux forum please).

Second, I made just another Clickbank sale from my first niche site. Another $30 in my account that slowly fills up, but could be filled more faster if you ask me

Third, my 3 new niche sites are finally ready and I’m currently about writing several articles to publish on Ezinearticles. Those articles should (and already do) bring me some traffic to these sites and hopefully some sales. Right now I’m already receiving some search engine traffic too and my Clickbank links got clicked too. But no sales so far… I’ll keep you updated!

Ok, back to some more work…!
