Making Money Online - the PTC test

Make Money Online - My Trusted PTC Sites

2010-01-22T01:09:00.005+08:00

Been gone for a while, got busy with some other things. But I still continued testing the PTC sites I mentioned before. Here are the things that I have experienced.

Isabelmarco - I was able to reach the minimum pay out requirement, around $10. I requested for a cash out, waited for a couple of months or so, did not get my payment. I stopped clicking, if the PTC site is strong they could have paid instantly. It is understandable if it gets delayed by 1 or 2 weeks, but more than a month makes me doubtful. I strongly do not recommend this site.

Bux.to - previously, this site has a $10 minimum cash out. Lots of ads, .01 per click, .01 per referral click, pretty nice offer. After some time, the $10 minimum becomes $50. Oh Man! I need to click more to be able to request for a cash out. With the help of some of my referrals, I was able to reach the $50 cash out, requested the cash out. And again, waited for a month or so, and still no payments received. I checked the forums for proof of payments, lots of users are complaining that they haven't received their payments yet, and what's worse is that they requested their payments last 2008, how am i supposed to receive my payment when most of the people that requested since 2008 haven't received their payments yet. Again, I strongly do not recommend this site.

E-dollar.pl - I stopped using this site, previously I really liked this site, easy to use, same as neobux. I really liked this site because they offer referrals on per piece basis, meaning, you can purchase one referral, unlike the others that requires you to buy as a set (3,5,10). For users like me that does not want to invest money, it is a really great feature. After some time, i got some problem clicking, i can't seem to view ads no matter what I do. Initially I thought they were having some problems and will be fixed soon. But after a few days of failed attempts, i decided to stop using this site, if their site is unstable, then their payments might be too. I do not recommend this site, but you can still try since I wasn't able to test this PTC site thoroughly.

A.W.Surveys - This is not a PTC Site but a site that offers some surveys to answer, and they pay you in return. Initially, I like this site since I was able to earn $28 for answering surveys, compared to PTC Sites, this one is faster. But after a few months, I found it a bit disappointing since there weren't enough surveys to answer. Due to this, I was not able to request for cash out since the minimum requirement is $75. I do not recommend this one, but its up to you if you want to try this one.

Gomezpeer - This one seems to be legal, I did a research on the internet and it really pays. The problem I had with this one is that only a few selected people can be paid. I think the location is a major factor for you to get paid. I saw someone who is ranked 11,000 + is an active member, which means that he can receive payments. Mine is around 8,000 and still not active. I recommend that you try this one, it does not take too much of your time, and if your lucky, you can be eligible for payments. (please refer to my previous post on what gomezpeer is).

Neobux - Out of all the PTC sites I tried, I strongly recommend this one. It pays fast (instantly), and easy to use. My only complain here is that there are only 4-5 ads available for free members. My advice here is that don't purchase referrals if you won't upgrade to golden. On my experience, majority of the referrals I had made me no profit. Because to be able to profit from purchasing referrals, each referral must have 2.5 clicks per day on average, a free member only gets .005 per referral click unlike golden member or premium members that gets .01 per referral click. So I suggest that do not purchase referrals unless you are planning to go premium. For free members, your best way to earn money is to get direct referrals, until you can buy yourself a premium membership. As of this writing I earned 22.59 from neobux, some of them I wasted from purchasing referrals. But their cash out is really instant. The banner always updates my earning so that you can compare how much I earned.

Making Money Online - Updates

2009-04-25T14:04:00.015+08:00

I have tested some ways to make money online, most of this site does not require any investments, my only investment is time. These are the updates of the things that I have tested.

Isabelmarco - Isabelmarco is a PTC site, wherein you view advertisements to earn. In each click, you will receive $.007 for standard and $.01 for premium. I joined this site for 2 months now, and I was able to reach the minimum payout, I requested the payout on march 22 2009. It has been a month now and I still haven't received it. According to the TOS the processing is from 20 - 60 days. So it is still too early to think that this is a scam. I was also able to become premium since you can convert your earnings to a premium membership. Lately I noticed that their proof of payments were not moving, the last payment was dated March. So i checked the forums and it seems that Isabelmarco has problems now, I am still clicking but to those reading, I do not recommend Isabelmarco for making money online. It is still up to you if you want to try. I will post an update if things start to go well at isabelmarco.

bux.to - like isabelmarco, this is a ptc site. I also joined this site for 2 months now. For 2 months, I noticed that the ads are increasing, and that is a good thing. More ads to click means more earnings. When I joined, I remembered that the minimum payout was $10, but now it became $50. It is now harder to test whether I can actually receive my payments since It would take me longer to reach $50. What I can do is to rent referrals, but sadly I can't afford it. I joined these sites to make money without investing anything except time. But thanks to my direct referrals, I can reach my target ($50) a bit faster. As of now I have 5 referrals under me, 2 are inactive though -_- . All in all, I like this site, I can't guarantee any cashouts yet. But you can try, and possibly help me reach my target by becoming my referral. I also visited their forums, and there are still people posting that they received their cashouts so it probably has.

Neobux - like the 2 stated before, this site is also a ptc. According to my research, this is one of the longest running ptc. The payout is also instant, I havent tested it yet since I got addicted to the lottery -_- . Right now, I was able to save enough earnings to rent 3 referrals, which costed $.75. The first 2 rentals is discounted so i got the 3 for $.75 instead of $.90. I liked this site, my 5 referrals are clicking (2 direct, 3 rented). What I dont like about this site is that the ads are few, 4 per day, sometimes 5 if you are lucky. To actually earn a lot here, you must be a premium member, they call it golden at neobux. The membership fee cost $90 for 1 year. As a premium member, you can earn $.01 per referral click instead of $.005, and that is a lot if you have lots of referrals. But sadly, again, I can't afford that. So my hope just now is to have enough referrals, direct and rented, till I earn enough to upgrade to a premium.

E-dollar.pl - This is also a ptc site. I joined this site for a month now, and personally I liked this site, it feels similar to neobux. Except, that it loads faster! I find neobux loading time a bit slow. You can also rent referrals per piece, so you can rent referrals faster rather that waiting longer to buy a set of referrals. As of now, I have rented 2 referrals, one is active and one is not, so i might recycle him today to get a new referral which i hope is active.

A.W.Surveys - A.W.Surveys is a site that pay a user to answer surveys, I joined this site for almost 2 months now, at first I really liked this site. I was able to make $28 in just an hour, I answered all the surveys available and in no time, I was able to finish all the available surveys. But after that, there are no more surveys to answer. I has been a month and no new surveys appeared. I can't cashout the $28 that I earned because the minimum cashout is $75, and I can't possibly reach that without surveys to answer. I don't know if the surveys are targetted, which is why I don't have new surveys to answer as there are no new surveys for my location. If anyone tries this, please leave a comment if there really are few surveys or it is just that there are no surveys available for me.

gomezpeer - Gomezpeer is an application that you install on your computer, this application then runs on the background. It wont hinder what you are doing. I joined for a month now, and I am still in pending status. It seems that there is a limit to those who become active. I still haven't quit, because I am not doing much work for it anyway, I just use my computer and leave it to run, I just hope I can be active sometime now.

All in all, these are the things that I have tried to make money online. All of this are my personal experience and opinion. I do not speak in behalf of anyone that I mentioned above. Everyone is free to try.

Making Money Online - E-Dollar.pl

2009-04-22T19:59:00.005+08:00

After bux.to, isabelmarco and neobux. I have also tested other PTC sites to make money online, one of them is e-dollar.pl. This site seems similar to neobux on the way to view an advertisement, you need to press the ad title then click the small dot for the link.

What I like with this site is that it loads faster than neobux, both the main page and also the ads. You can also buy referrals per piece, which means that you can buy 1 referral, if that is all you can afford. Each referral cost .30 for standard and .20 for premium. As of now, I have bought 2 referrals. I saved all my earnings to buy those referrals. Clicks are .01 for standard and premium, the difference is that you gain .01 per referral click on premium and .005 for standard and also the cost of each referral.

The minimum payout is $2 which increases per cashout. So far, I haven't reached the minimum cash out yet, and my plan is to buy lots of referrals first then becoming premium before trying to cash out. As of now, I have no negative comments to this site. If you want to try making money online then you are free to try.

Make Money Online by Leaving Your Computer On

2009-04-06T20:41:00.007+08:00

I stumbled upon a site that helps you make money online. This site is called gomezpeerzone.com. What you need to do is register onto this site, download and install an application. What this application does is use your computers unused computing resources to process some things. This means that it won't slow down your computer.

Once you have installed the application, you need to set some things first, like your username (for tracking your earnings), location and internet connection. What this application does is try and test some sites if they load quickly under your computers settings. This won't open any internet browser, the processing happens inside the application itself.

You can earn money in terms of the amount of time you are online and the amount of time used for processing. The earnings may seem a bit low, but is great because you don't need to do any extra work just to earn money. So you are earning even by just leaving your Computer On, of course you need to be online.

Once you have registered and installed the application, you will be in pending status. While in pending status, you won't be able to earn. To start earning money, your status must be active, there are some criteria that is needed to be met before becoming active. You can install this application on more that one computer, so that you can earn more. Different computers can share one username.

I have also tried this application, so far I am still in pending status, but I am not doing anything extra. So I might as well leave it. I will post again once I become active and start making money online just by leaving my computer on. You can register here.

Make Money Online by Answering Surveys

2009-04-03T19:59:00.003+08:00

I just expanded the site I am testing to make money online. Before, I am only testing ptc sites to make money online. Now, I also tested answering surveys to make money online. I found 1 site and this is AWSurveys.com. I answered some of the surveys, and I already earned $27, most of the surveys are asking for opinion regarding some websites shown. The minimum cashout is $75, that is why even though I earned money, I still can't use it.

All I can say is the site seems good, you can earn really fast, but because of the minimum cashout, you can not quickly receive your money. It also lacks surveys to answer, as I was only able to answer 8 surveys, and after that you have to wait for more available. That is why your first cashout will be later not because of the low pay, but because of the availability of the survey.

If you want to make money online answering survey, you can try this now awsurveys.com.

Condron.us similar to Alphainventions.com?

2009-03-29T14:24:00.002+08:00

Right now, I am still awaiting my $10 payment from Isabelmarco.com, a week has only passed by so I still have the patience to wait. On bux.to I just gained another referral, but he did’nt left his name here, so I am wondering where did he saw my link, I still need $2.02 before I reach my minimum payout. On neobux, even though the minimum payout is only $2, I can’t reach it, got addicted to playing the jackpot >_< and still losing.

While waiting, I decided to research on increasing traffic to my blog, and I happened to found Condron.us. At first look, it seems better than alphainventions.com since this site looks cleaner. It only has a toolbar above the site being shown. It almost works the same with alphainventions.com since it also flashes your site for a few seconds. Now, the question is, will it bring just traffic? Or traffic with real people? Or absolutely none? If you happen to be a real person, a simple comment like “take me to your leader” will be great.

Earn Money Online with Google Adsense

2009-03-28T02:12:00.003+08:00

Since my target is to Earn Money Online, I also decided to enroll for Google Adsense. Now what is Google Adsense?

"AdSense is an advertisement application run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and more recently, video advertisements on their websites.
These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis." Source: Wikipedia

If you ever have a blog or other web sites you manage, and wanted to earn some extra income, you can apply for google adsense. Once your application is approved, you can then place the Adsense Code on your website or blog. These code will then place advertisements onto your site, these advertisements are targetted based upon the topic or the content of your site. You can earn in 2 ways, first is for every click on the advertisements by your site visitors and the other is for every 1000 impression (visits to your site). Since Google already has a good reputation, you can be sure that you will be able to receive your earnings. The minimum amount before you can receive your earning is $100. As of now, I am still far from the minimum amount, but this is still a great way to earn money online.

For you to succeed in earning money with Google Adsense, your site must be either unique or has great content, and also have high traffic. I am still new with using Google Adsense, but it has helped me a lot on my target which is to earn money online. Before applying for Google Adsense please check this site for the Google Adsense Program Policy

Make Money Online - Neobux

2009-03-25T20:00:00.007+08:00

Right now, I have tested another PTC site, this site is called neobux. I joined this site for a month now, but I have just been active recently. My first impression of neobux is that it loads a bit slow. Maybe because there are a lot of users.

What I like about neobux is the ability to use your balance, to buy from neobux, unlike other PTC sites that accepts payment only from Alertpay or Paypal. Which means that first, you need to reach your minimum payout, then request for payout which might take a few days to months then use the payout received to purchase something on that site. Things you can buy are rental balance which you can use to rent referrals, tickets for raffles, there are 5 raffles here, 1 megajackpot and 4 jackpot games. In megajackpot you can buy 1 ticket for $.1 and of course you can use your available balance from clicking ads, the prize increases depending on the number of tickets sold. Then the 4 jackpot games have 2 different prizes, one is balance $$ and the other is referrals. You can participate on the jackpot or mini jackpot, the prize is different and so is the cost.

What I don't like about it, is that it only offers a few advertisement to click, commonly its 4. This is for standard members. So it may take a while to actually gain much. Also, you can only have direct referrals after 30 days of being a user and having at least 100 clicks credited.

According to my research, this is one of the best ptc sites. If you want to try this and make money online you can find the link at the right side of my blog.

My current stats, I tried the jackpot a few times and loss. >_<

Alphainventions.com update

2009-03-24T21:28:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, I tried using the Alphainventions.com website. This website generates traffic to your site by flashing your site to the users viewing the site. First, I submitted my url to be added to the viewing list, this list has a limit of 100. Your site will then be added to the list, while 1 would be removed. So eventually, your site would be remove from the list once another 100 would register their site. After submission, I indeed got some traffic, about 80 hits.

Another thing you can do is to make a post about alphainventions.com , by doing this, your blog will also be given traffic. I tested this, which is the post I made earlier and within a couple of hours I already got 2000 hits. Well, it really is nice to have traffic to your blog, but the thing is, I don't think that those hits came from readers. Because out of those 2000 hits not even 1% left a comment.

So if anyone happens to read my blog, a simple comment like "i wuz here" would be nice. Just to know that there are really "people" reading my blog.

Alphainventions.com a free way to increase traffic to your site

2009-03-23T20:43:00.004+08:00

Ok, while waiting for the results of my cashout, I decided to make a research on how to increase traffic to my site. While doing that I stumbled upon a site called Alphainventions.com. I gave it a try and submitted my url to the site, and within minutes i already got some hits. This is good for bloggers who might want their blogs to be seen. Here is what is written on the site about Alphainventions.com:

Hello Curious People,

First off my name is Cheru Jackson, and I’m just a regular working guy with an apartment and an old car with a big imagination. I don’t think like anyone in this world, because if I did I would not have been able to create alphainventions.com I just ate a McChicken, and I’m a little sleepy.

The blogs and links appearing on my site are just the most recently updated blogs from people like yourself.

At first I was frustrated to have to go through with getting an account with Word Press just to explain how my site his more helpful than harmful, but I’m now glad I have an account, and this might stimulate you to check out the site more often. I’m a friggin blogger now yay!

Ever thought of this?

If you were to comment on a blog right after the webmaster published (updated) it, you would get a faster response, because most likely the webmaster is still online, and shocked to see that someone has commented so quickly. This is either very simple, or I’m an advanced human.

It’s just an experiment to help webmasters (bloggers) connect in real-time. It looks simple, but it took me 3 months of coding to build this thing. I’m bored, in my 20s, and this thing is cool.

The more exposure to the site means more traffic to your blog you from alphainventions.com when you update it.

That’s how the site is made to work.

The huge truck got stuck under the bridge, and many men tried to get it out for hours and failed until the creator of alphainventions.com told them let the air out of the tires to set it free.

If you are concerned that it’s a scam, then contact the government, or whatever it takes, because they are going to tell you how cool it is when they get done with the investigation. I may even link to this post.

I’m great at coding the site, but at the moment not so great at explaining it’s benefits and features. I tried to make it as simple as possible to understand, and I didn’t even put that many buttons, links, or fun junk on the site. but I know people have a craving for more understanding.

I might as well make this post my about page lol . Real laughter out loud not the text message kind.

Here is how it works. (simple as possible I hope).. Ready?

Let’s go…

If you update or publish your blog at the same time my visitors are browsing blogs in my site then my visitors will get a chance to see your blog in real-time. BAM! (the entire blog is in their face instantly) It’s not even annoying to watch. Is it alpha addicts??

I also provide a link to your blog in case they want it to open your blog in a new window, or bookmark your blog . The links provides your title, and description to help my visitors get a better understanding on what your blog is about, and get more interested. Alphainventions.com is useful for wordpress.com , typepad.com, spaces.live.com, and blogger.com I love it, and want to grow it like a tree. Yahh!

To get more traffic from alphainventions.com just keep your blog updated or go to the homepage, and notify readers about your blog. It’s so simple.

More..

A realistic goal of mine for alphainventions.com is to provide a way for us to see only blogs that we are interested in update in real time, because this will provide more quality, and blogger interaction.

Interaction part is why I built the site. It’s fun to see people come to your site and find it interesting as soon as you update or publish, so I want to provide a faster ways of doing this.

Earlier in the project I tried to make a fair, and logical way for people to submit their link every so often to get more readers for a short period of time, but so many people didn’t understand how the site worked so I guess they may have overlooked it. I’m thinking they didn’t know why they should submit their link.

Help please…

Everyone wants their blog to be read instantly, and I want to provide everyone with that experience.

If anyone here can provide an example of a full explanation on how the site works in better terms it will be greatly appreciated.

Good job to those who do understand how alphainventions.com works. If I looked at it from outside of my webmaster box I’d probably be a little confused about what alphainventions was at first sight.

Many people have their blogs set to ping services like weblogs.com when their blog has been published or updated. Visit http://alphainventions.com/block to block your blog from being read if you’d like.

If someone is on Alpha Inventions when you publish your blog to the public, it will be read by a visitor(s) of mine.

I have no problem helping you with the situation. Contact info is available on the site.

The entire time reading Please keep in mind that mostly bloggers, and webmasters use alphainventions.com , and not the average googler, or reader. This should help you to see how the site is more beneficial to people like you. You are thinking in terms of SEO, and things of that nature, and Alpha Inventions is designed to be more on the Instant communication side of things, but I will make adjustments to improve targeting as mentioned in previous posts.

I do take your feedback seriously.

Alpha Inventions is far from a robot, because it’s controlled by the visitors, and blog publishers. If you don’t publish a blog nobody will see it. If nobody is on alphanventions.com nobody will see the blogs you published or updated. Simple. It was coded this way to avoid being a spam site. Once the site has grown more, I will get more into the coding part with you, so you can better understand how it works.

It’s just not about finding something interesting to read.

The purpose of Alpha Inventions is to connect bloggers with each other in a faster way, so there are no gaps in communication. Targeted communication will improve.

The fact that someone knows that they can contact you, or provide feedback to you almost instantly make your blog more interesting even though they did not search for your content.

Youtube.com , and weblogs.com uses a similar method.

Again for the records the adjustment will be made in the near future to provide more targeted results.

As the site grows I will implement a system that will show readers blogs very similar to blogs they have created themselves. This will be cool.

If you still have your doubts I would like you to keep me informed on small things I can do to make the site better for you while still keeping everyone who benefits from it now happy.

If I can’t help one person with a small problem, how can I help millions?

I’ve recently changed the languages to English only for a few days to see if things improve for English speaking bloggers. Just a test.

I will be working on a way for readers to toggle languages.

Thanks for the positive, and valuable feedback everyone. Good job. Keep it up.

I suggest people get the most out of alphainventions.com before too many people start to benefit from it. This will take about a year, so don’t panic.

The site does not refresh the page over and over. This would be spam, and I hate spam as much as anyone else. Quality first.

You may have had computer errors, because there is no possible way that your site appeared and disappeared in less than 2 seconds unless someone submitted a blog right after you submitted yours.

or

You may have hit the “play” button too many times, or a user may have hit the “who’s on alphainventions.com now” button too many time while you were on alphainventions.com

I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is not how alpha inventions works. Please continue to work with it, and let me know if you experience this again.

The fact that someone loaded, or clicked (there are links too) your page from alphainventions over 100 times is no fault of mine.

This is the same as someone clicking your site from Google, or Yahoo 100 times. They can’t help it either. I wish I could help. Just because I’m not a popular people tend to pick on me. (a little)

When someone submits their blog, then your blog will be removed automatically. There is no database.

If you don’t want your blog shown, don’t submit it to alphainventions.com, and it will never be show on alphainventions much. This has been mentioned before. Read the threads.

There are many people who get plenty of comments to their blog from visitors, and I’m sorry nobody found your blog interesting enough to comment on it. People do have to be interested in order for you to get comments. This is no fault of mine. If you went to the store looking for beans, and a clerk tried to sell you rice, then you will reject him or her.

I ask you all to get a better understanding on how blogs work before we get emotional. A lack of understanding can ruin things for everyone.

I hate to seem so direct, but I guess it’s needed. If anyone else has stat counter, or analytics please verify that the readers are real readers located from different IP address and different places around the world.

The site is designed to help, and not hurt. If you have any ideas to improve it let me know. Great job providing me with your feedback.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on making the site more interesting, and beneficial. Please post in public, because I’d like everyone to be involved.

My First Cashout - Make Money Online

2009-03-23T20:08:00.004+08:00

Ok guys, I have just reached my minimum cashout at Isabelmarco. Well, $1 more than the minimum cashout, which is $9. I have already requested for the cashout, and for it to be deposited on my alertpay account. So right now, I am waiting for it to arrive. Let's see how long it takes to process my request and for it to be deposited on my account. The timer starts now!

Here is a screenshot of my cashout request.

My stats - Making Money Online

2009-03-19T22:35:00.009+08:00

I have been doing these PTC sites for almost 2 months now even before writing this blog. These are my current stats.

What I like about bux.to is that it has lots of advertisement, also every click is worth $.01 for standard members and $.01 per referral clicks. But I have read some of the post from their forums, and it seems that a lot has not receive their payment yet. These I have to confirm once I reach my minimum payout.

Here is my stats at Isabelmarco, what I like about these is that it has lots of links you can click. Even for standard members (some PTC only give few links to standard members, you must upgrade to premium first to gain access to a lot more). What I just dont like here is the "cheater checker" what it does is every once in a few clicks, you have to enter a string of characters to check whether you are using an illegal program. Well, I don't use any illegal programs, it just that it takes more time to view a link.

I have two referrals for both right now, 2 of my friends decided to help me. If you are interested you can join too.

My PTC referral links

My Alertpay referral link

the PTC test - Making Money Online

2009-03-17T00:26:00.007+08:00

I have been searching for some time now on how to make money online. I made some research and found out that PTC sites are one of the possible ways to make money online.

Now, what is ptc? Well PTC sites or Pay To Click sites, are websites that pays you for viewing advertisements for 30 seconds. You choose a link from a list, view the site for 30 seconds and once it has been validated, you will receive a specific amount depending on the site. It goes from $.005 to $.02 per click. Some sites have lots of links available, while others have few. Each site has a minimum payout. Which means that once you click some websites and gained about $1, you can not just request for that money. It needs to reach a specific amount for it to be requested.

Most of you will think that "WTH? it will take me weeks or even months to reach the minimum payout!", Yes, I personally think that it would take me a month to achieve the minimum pay out. But what the heck, I can always do this when I am surfing the net, having a chat, listening to music or even watching movies. As long as you don't treat this as work or focus your entire time viewing sites, you won't notice that days will go by and you have achieve your minimum payout.

"Isn't 1 month too long to gain just $10?", Most PTC sites has what they call a referral program. What referral programs do is you can refer someone to register for the PTC site. What is great about this is that everytime your referral clicks a link, you also earn from his clicks. Lets say that you have 100 referrals, each referral clicks 1 link per day, and you gain $.01 per click of your referral. That is $.01 * 100 = $1 a day, and that is for 1 link per day, how about 4? 10? Its up to you on how many referrals you can find.

Also, common to PTC sites is that you can purchase referrals, which is you can pay the site to give you unreferred accounts, this accounts will then give you earning per click.

With this, I decided to try these PTC sites, and registered to 2 sites. I created this to record my activities and earnings from PTC Sites. First I need to confirm if you can really receive the money once you reach the minimum payout. These payouts can be received via paypal or alertpay.

These are the sites I chose, you are free to try it too.

My PTC referral links

My Alertpay referral link

and if you register, please do tell me so that I can check whether referrals do really get credited.

I will post updates here when I reach my minimum payout, and received money through alertpay.

NOTE: I am not suggesting to anyone to invest on these sites, feel free to do it if you want to.
