I'm Back in Paid to Read World

Paid to Read Meltdown?

I've been away on a forced, and unexpected, break. What do I find? Well I think the main thing is that the main $0.01 Paid to Read sites seem, almost without exception, to be flagging. I am seeing just the same old ads again and again on Bux.to now down to about 5 per day which is very disappointing. Adbux has a greater number but the value since the site revamp is below that of bux.to - in fact I don't know why I'm bothering.

Topbux and Tarbux seem to be just about hanging on. International Money Bux seems to have lasted only a few days and although others like ClixMedia are hanging in there (in fact Clix Media is showing me more ads lately) the real star for me is without doubt Make Free Money Online dot Info. I've been paid twice - although PayPal are being a pain to Chrissy at the moment - the ads keep coming and life is sweet there!

Adsentive is also performing well (PTP paying well here) together with Wordlinx and LinkGrand. Beyong these I frankly wouldn't bother!

I have to report payments from two surveys Global Test and Ciao. More on surveys next post.

Online Earnings 101 - Part 1

I would like to tell you that in generating my online earnings that I've been following a well defined strategy. Unfortunately it has all been a bit "seat of the pants" so far and I am only now really developing a long-term strategy. Nonetheless over the last couple of months, based on currency conversion of £1 = $2 (which isn't too far out), I have generated credits of around $300.

I was careful to use the word credits as I have not received payment from all the programmes I am in but I am counting all programme credits in the total. An outline of the "plan" followed so far has been to join a number of PTR programmes to generate cash; carried out surveys; tried to generate referrals to these sites and research affiliate marketing opportunities.

Surprisingly this blog has, with the use of Adsense, been one of my better earners. As you are probably aware the real money from Adsense is made when someone clicks on one of the ads on your page and you are directly credited. What is less well known is that when you generate enough traffic you start being credited simply for showing the ads. I have found that to generate traffic to this blog and earn this money the easy (and free way) to do it is use Traffic Exchanges.

I currently use three of them Magnify Traffic, Road Runner and EasyHits4U. They all have advantages / disadvantages but I find by using them on tabs in a tabbed browser I can switch between them and generate quite a bit of traffic with very little effort. I try to browse 250 sites on Magnify Traffic and Road Runner each day which gives me around 250 credits all told. In the same time I will only manage around 80 sites on EasyHits4U. Like some people may play solitaire or another game when they have time on their hands I generate traffic. I guess it is boring but using my credits I can guarantee traffic to this blog and this generates Adsense credit without an Ad clicking visitor. On some days this may only be a cent or two on other days fifteen cents although if an ad gets clicked it can generate quite a bit more; on one occasion a single click generated about $1.40!

I'm currently planning the next post in this 101 will look at my favourite survey sites.
