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,

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)!

Most online money makers, like PTC sites or advertising networks for example, offer a so called referral program. That means you get paid a certain amount of money for each of your referral’s activities. In the case of a PTC you would get paid according to your referred member’s clicks, like on NeoBux for example where you would get $0.005 for each advertisement click they do.

Many people are facing huge problems in getting those refs for their money making programs, they don’t know where to start and what to do in order to refer new members for getting paid more money. But on the other side they need those refs for differnet reasons, e.g. for getting paid faster (reaching a certain minimum payout limit) and (obviously) to make more money at all.

Because I’m personally at a point where I can say that I have at least a little knowledge about getting refs, I will share 10 tips with you that you might follow in order to build a small downline for your programs. The following list won’t provide a too detailed view on those different methods, but enough to give you some ideas from where to start. Ok, now 10 tips for getting referrals (in no particular order):

1. Write a Squidoo lens or create a Hubpage

Probably the best idea to refer new members is creating a Squidoo lens or a hub on Hubpages about the program you want referrals for. Both terms, a lens and a hub, are only other words for creating a website that you can constantly update with fresh information. Squidoo and Hubpages offer this service totally free of charge, you only have to create an account on their sites and you’re able to start your own lens or hubpage. Both websites are extremely popular and receive a lot of daily traffic and that in turn means that a lens/hub you create with them will most likely get a nice share of that traffic and hopefully brings you some referrals. Be sure to include your referral links and/or banners on these sites and provide good content, e.g a review on the money maker.

2. Create a Blog

First of all, you don’t have to start a blog like mine where you would have to pay for hosting and a domain name. There are dozens of free blogging platforms on the net that you might choose from. A very popular one is Google’s Blogger service (that’s where the journey of TMME began). After signing up with them you’re able to create a blog within minutes, it isn’t that hard. Just like writing a Squidoo lens for example, you should write about the money maker you want to get refs for, e.g. review the site or show your earning statistics. Your blog should be updated constantly and you’ll see first results soon. Don’t expect too much in the first days or even weeks, it needs some time before your posts get indexed in the search engines and rank high enough.

3. Create a Site on MySpace

Also I personally don’t like MySpace very much (ugly sites etc.), it’s worth a try to get some refs from creating a profile there while placing some referral links. MySpace is probably the most poular site on the whole web and chances for getting some traffic are fairly high, especially when networking with many friends.

4. Make a Video

For all of you who have some creative abilities, I would suggest creating a video and uploading it to major video platforms like Youtube, Metacafe or Revver for example. Videos can get viral when done well and if you place your ref links or a link to your lens, hub or blog on it, you’ll get decent traffic and a huge exposure for sure. Referrals will follow!

5. Refer your Friends

This sounds too obvious I know, but often times people forget about this. If you have many friends, preferable friends that at least know what the internet is, you should ask them for joining your money makers. Talk about the benfits to give them an incentive for joining under you.

6. Article Marketing

Article marketing can only be done if you already have a website, blog, lens or hubpage for example. Basically you have to write articles about your money makers and submit them to major article directories like Ezinearticles or Articledashboard for example. In the article you can often time only provide links in your author’s bio box at the end of an article. There you should point readers to your already existing site where you promote the money maker and have placed some referral links. Most times it isn’t allowed to directly place your referral links right within the text, therfore you should already have a website as said above wherte you can point readers to. The benefits from using article directories is the great exposure to your site and more “link love” to your site because those directories are already ranked very high in major search engines.

7. Buying Referrals

Well, this tip obviously will only work if you already have some money to spend. But usually it’s the most easiest way for getting referrals to your programs. To mention NeoBux again, there you can buy your first 10 refs for only $3.00! Make sure to re-invest your first earnings to buy even more refs. You’ll see an aconstant increase in your earnings for sure!

8. Use Referral Exchanges

This method is the moste “dangerous” in my opinion, as far as I’ve personally tested it. A referral exchange works simple, you join a certain money maker (PTC etc.) and in turn get some points/credits that you can spend to “buy” referrals to your own programs. It’s dangerous because the people who join a program under you, only do it to earn some extra points. In other words they’ll most likely be not active at all and totally useless. I would personally not suggest referral exchanges as being the best method for getting refs, but if you want to try one feel free to head over to GetRef, the most established exchabge rigth now.

9. Paid Advertising

You can also use paid advertising for getting referrals to your money programs. For example you could create an ad campaign on a PTC site where you have to pay for a certain amount of clicks. But please notice, not every click will bring you a new ref! Most times the conversion rate is far below 1%, meaning for 1,000 clicks you would get less than 10 refs (usually only 5 or so).

10. Forum Signatures

If you are a active member on differnet forums, it’s worth a try to place your referral link in your profile signature. But first make sure if it’s really allowed! If you want referrals for a PTC for example, it would be good to use the sig on PTC forum.

I hope those 10 tuips will help you at least a bit in getting some referrals for your money makers. A last recommendation: Combine different methods for getting the most out of it! Spare no efforts, it’s really worth it!

It’s a long time since I’ve last written about the new and amazing PTC called NeoBux. Many positive things happend the last days and the NeoBux staff is really awesome in adding new and exciting features to that real innovation in PTC. The latest feature that finally got realised is Rent-a-Ref, a new way of purchasing referrals like never seen before.

NeoBux - Real Innovations, Serious Business

First of all, and before I’ll talk about Rent-a-Ref, let’s sum up some of the greatest features of NeoBux:

• $0.01 per click and $0.005 per referral click ($0.01 when you have a golden account)
• Realtime statistic updates, including referral origin, your own clicks and your referral’s clicks
• INSTANT payments, successfully tested two times - I got my money within 5 seconds!
• An amazing live support, chat and a forum where the site admin posts nearly everyday
• Constant work on adding brand new features like making purchases directly from your account balance…
• Unlike on other PTCs, a serious staff and brilliant coders - You can really “feel” the professionality!

The above list is in no way exaggerated, I must admit I felt in love with NeoBux because they ARE the innovation in PTC! I’m even thinking about putting all my PTC efforts at only this one. You may know that I’m a member on Bux.to too, but their staff seems to be very incompetent in leading a successful PTC, which you can see from all those growing payment delays, void promises and a script that doesn’t get finished after several months. Although I have no doubt that Bux.to makes money, I have more and more doubts if they really can manage their own popularity. Well, I should stop complaining now because I want to talk about NeoBux…

Rent-a-Ref

Ok, let’s talk about the latest and maybe so far the greatest feature that the NeoBux team just officially released some days ago, it’s called Rent-a-Ref.

So far I’ve never seen a PTC before where you can rent referrals instead of buying them. But NeoBux makes everything possible. From now on you can rent your refs on a monthly basis with affordable pricings:

• Pay $0.20 per ref and month as a Golden Member
• Pay $0.25 per ref and month as a Pioneer Member (those who joined before April 30th 2008)
• Pay $0.30 per ref and month as a Standard Member

If that wouldn’t be enough, they also introduced a feature called AutoPay. AutoPay automatically deducts a small fee from the first click that one of your referrals does each day. So you’ll pay the ref for being another day in your downline and you’ll also get an 10% discount on those referral fees, but only if you enable the (optional) AutoPay.

If a bought referral stays inactive for 14 days, it will automatically be replaced. But if you ever feel one of your bought refs doesn’t click as much as you want him/her to be, you can “recycle” those refs while paying $0.05. The refs will be replaced with new active ones nearly instantely.

Personal Conclusion

I’ve personally bought 2 x 10 referral packages this week directly from my account balance. I got the refs within one minute! I also eneabled the AutoPay function, so my referral earnings are a little smaller than they normally would be, but on the other side I’ll have my refs until I turn off this option. So whenever I feel like not wanting to pay for my refs anymore, I turn it off and my refs will be gone after the remaining days.

So far my refs are doing very well, although there are not too many ads to click on right now. But they make at least 60 clicks a day and my balance is growing. I will re-invest my earnings in more ref packs whenever my account balance is big enough.

In total I have 67 referrals now, 47 came from my promotional efforts from my blog, my Squidoo lens and ad campaigns on other PTC’s. Thanks for joining!

NeoBux is and will be THE big thing in the PTC market for the next days, weeks, month and maybe even years to come. I don’t say this to gain new refs or such, but because I see how serious the NeoBux team. They release one exciting feature after the other, have a growing member base (already over 100K) and, after doing some calculations, run a sustainable business compared to many other PTC’s. I LIKE IT!

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.

Warning! Bux.to has turned into a horrible PTC with payment delays of more than 6 months, a lame staff and forum mods that defeat Bux.to with their life although they even have not a received a single payment yet. I’m not the only one who didn’t get paid by them, thousands of users are complaining about this mess. The Bux.to staff are the most unprofessional people I’ve ever seen online for a long time (or maybe they are the best scammers I’ve seen, who knows…). I DON’T recommend joining them, there are way better PTCs on the market that even pay instantly, like NeoBux for example. There I already earned over $2,000 and got paid more than 10 times!

After a long time without too many updates about my progress with Bux.to, I will give you some more in-depth details about my current situation with this nice money maker. I will give you some statistics about my referral count, click rates, earnings and current news about Bux.to in general.

Bux.to - The Best PTC Ever

I started my Bux.to experiment/career way back in October 2007, where I was a complete noob in terms of making money online. But, until today, I don’t regret joining this PTC, the most popular of all PTC’s at the moment (and probably for the future). I had many highs and lows with Bux.to the last month. First I thought it was a scam, until I received my first payment in February 2008 (not much btw, but proof enough for me to keep on using that site). Then everything seemed to work right, until all those statistic delays started and many members thought this would be the end of Bux.to. Well, they are still alive!

Just recently I was invited for the beta test of the brand new script that powers Bux.to. I was amazed after finding an invite for this beta test, because only 10,000 members were allowed to test the new script. Ok, 10,000 members sounds much, but note that Bux.to has over 5,000,000 members today! Maybe the staff has noticed that I rank number in the top ten in the Google search results for the term “Bux.to” and have some influence?!

At the moment the most annoying thing at Bux.to is the really huge payment delay. They are three month late with their payments. But there are reasons for that delay! First, they had some serious trouble with Alertpay, which had several errors in the payment processing on their own side. The problem is already solved, payments will be processed as regular. Second, and most disturbing fact is the audit time. At the moment they have to check each payment request for fraudulent activity (thanks to all those scammers and users of autoclickers). With several thousand cashout requests each month one can only imagine how long that would take…

But, with help of the new script, several things will change. First of all, they will include some kind of autoclicker detection. Sorry, I haven’t (and won’t give you) any details about it! I think it’s a good step for faster payment requests, because the account audit times will get shorter. Second thing is semi-automatic payment processing instead of manual doing those payments. After the release of the new script, payment will definitely arrive way faster than right now!

Ok, let’s head over to my stats!

My Bux.to Stats

Let’s first have a look at the stats directly from my Bux.to account:

You see, after joining the site nearly six month ago, I have done 3071 clicks by myself. I must admit, that’s not a high amount. I’ve seen users with way more clicks than I personally have. But I’m not below the average for sure.

So far I have a total of 72 referrals. 65 of them are purchased from Bux.to, the rest was done by promoting Bux.to on my blog. I personally haven’t referred many people…unfortunately. I’ve spent a total of around $80 for buying all those refs, luckily I’ve already made my investments back. Some more bucks I’ve invested were $65 for upgrading my account to premium status. That was the best thing I could do, not only because I get paid 25% more compared to standard members. It also increased the daily ad count from around 10 ads to sometimes more than 40 ones!

Now for the best part, my referrals have clicked a total of 12061 ads so far. In other words, each referral brought me around 167 advertising clicks so far. I have made my investments back!
I have a nice (or ugly) statistics graph where you can see the total amount of referral clicks since the beginning of January, where I bought my first referral pack:

You’ll notice the recent increase in my referrals click activity, that’s because I’ve bought another referral pack three weeks ago AND the statistics delay has gone (at least for me)!

So far I got paid $12.71 from Bux.to, back then to my Paypal account. So far I my account blance went up to over $168. At April 18th I’ve requested my second payout of $75 to my brand new Bux.to Mastercard. In my opinion the new card is another great step towards a more professional PTC. At the moment I’m still waiting for the payment to arrive.

At the moment I’m making around 3 to 4 Dollars each day, excluding my personal clicks on daily ads. That’s amazing for only 72 referrals, where around 10 of them are even inactive. I think about reinvesting most of my money (if it arrives some day) in new referral packages. If everything works right for the next month, I’ll see a huge increase in my overall monthly earnings!

Conclusion

At the moment you could have many doubts about Bux.to. Payments are late, statistics aren’t updating right, many people complain about this PTC already. Everyday there are new threads on the Bux.to forums from people that are waiting for their first money to come in.

On the other side, Bux.to has proven to be a professional PTC like no other. They have solved their problems with Paypal while searching for alternative payment processors. They have arranged a deal with Payoneer, a serious company providing the already mentioned Mastercard. They are currently working on a new script to give their members a way better experienece, not only moneywise.

I will furthermore support Bux.to as a real big money making opportunity (maybe I’ll get a higher ranking in the SERPS than Bux.to itself :)). Sure, there are payment delays and one could arque about their real business model, but I think they have some good plans for running their business for a longer time in the future. So far they have proved to pay many people, sometimes several thousand dollars!

Bux.to is THE great site, nothing more to say…!

Warning!

Three days ago I bought another 15 referrals from Bux.to and today they arrived and brought me the first clicks. Within only one day I got around $1.00 from these referrals and with my whole account balance I’m heading towards the $75 payout limit. I think I can make my first cash request to my brand new Bux.to card sometimes around Thursday or Friday when I reach those 75 bucks.

Bux.to is also about to release their new script within the next week or two. It’s very possible that, after the new script is released and working stable, payments become faster. Some people on the Bux.to forums (including admins) expect a new payment time of only 5 business days, instead of the 30 days for premium members now. Let’s hope the best, I’ll inform you!

That should be all, now I have to write some new articles for my first bum marketing project I’ve just started. I will report about it soon, so stay tuned!

So Long,
Querblogger
