In the case of surveys - Well yes it can! But, is it worth all the hassle? You must have a clear idea of what you are trying to achieve and of the trustworthy sites that you will get paid from and what amounts you are likely to make. Writing Blogs? We'll see! I also look at Paid to Read and some other Affiliate Programs

Clix Media - Paid to Read

Another Paid To Read Site

ClixMedia.biz

In much the same way as Adbux and Bux.to the Clix Media site pays you to read ads and pays you $0.01 for each one.

The basis of the site is that having logged in you go to the "Ads" link and you click on the ads which are currently open. You stay for 30 seconds and get a "Payment Recieved" notification and after this you close the window and move on to the next ad. Payment is made at the rate of $0.01 per ad and there is a minimum payment of only $5.99 through PayPal or e-Gold.

One thing I have noticed with these ads is that I am only seeing ads within my stated areas of interest. This is much better than either Adbux or Bux.to where the adverts do seem rather random.

Premium membership is available at a cost of $29.99 per year. This gets you 5 referrals for your downline and increased payments.

This post comes with something of a health warning in that I have not received a payment yet. Additionally, when I first joined I had terrible problems logging in. I used the contact form on the site and this issue has now been resolved.

I am now accessing a steady flow of adverts about 6 per day. To reach the payment level would, at that rate take 100 days.

Bux.to

Another New Favourite!

Bux.to

When you see the site you will be struck immediately by the similarities to the Adbux site. As with Adbux, Bux.to is very straightforward and easy to use.

The basis of the site is that having joined you go to the "Surf Ads" link and you click on the ads which are currently open. You stay for 30 seconds and get a green tick sign after this you close the window and move on to the next ad. Payment is made at the rate of $0.01 per ad and there is a minimum payment of $10 through PayPal.

At anytime you may buy un-referred members at a price of only $34.95 for 35 members (a better deal than with Adbux). If you are struggling to refer members this will give you guaranteed members at a relatively low price. It does come with a health warning in that you may be unlucky and buy 35 inactive members but I would have thought this unlikely.

This post comes with something of a health warning in that I have not received a payment yet but I know of people who have had their accounts credited. Please follow one of my links to join.

Referrals



In a number of the posts on this blog I have identified that, however good the site might be, getting referrals was the key to making real money from the site. Therein lies the rub, for to make real cash you need the referrals and it generally takes a relatively large budget to find your referrals unless you are either lucky or are trusted by a large network of friends and / or colleagues who are willing to follow you lead. No longer!

GetRef.com is in essence a referral exchange. You earn credits in one of four ways:

  1. Buying them (although if you are considering this you should join the Gold programme as your money buys you 25% more credits)

  2. By joining another members programme

  3. By clicking links to other members ads (a bit like checking out the classifieds)

  4. By generating referrals to GetRef.com itself.

Joining is free and very simple to do. You can register and be a member in just a few minutes!

At the top of the page is a list of areas for you to use (although some are restricted to Gold members). These are Home: Earn: View Earned: Spend: View Pending: Ban User (Gold): Message Board: My Stats: How To: FAQ: Referrals: Gold: Buy Credits: LogOut.

Can I recommend that the new user spends time reading How To, FAQ and the Message Board before going any further. If you don't it's a bit like trying to put flat pack furniture together without reading the instructions first - You might just get it right, but you'll probably get it right a lot quicker if you find out "How To".

Having gleaned all the information from these sources it's now time to get earning credits. There are plenty of credits available to the new user from the earn option "Earn credits by clicking links" so you may as well harvest these.

Then you can earn by following the link to "Earn credits by joining a program" . Might I suggest you research the options carefully and be sure you are signing up for something you are going to use. The other users credits have not come cheaply in either monetary or time terms and this type of exchange cannot afford to have time-wasters in it. If you sign up (and are accepted)- use the programme! A little note of interest which might pass some by is that you must earn at least 1 credit every three months for your programmes to be seen by other members - you can't just take you have to put something back.

You might also think about how you will get referrals to GetRef.com itself in order to accumulate more credits. You get 2 credits for each referral and 10% of your downline credits to five levels deep.

OK - You've got some credits. What are you going to do with them? You want referrals don't you? Go to the Spend section and select "Buy Referrals for your program". You can select the programme you want referrals for (you did check it was included when you signed up didn't you?) and follow the very clear instructions. Good luck.

The other spend option is to "Buy exposures for your link" which is like the classified ads section. Be careful how you use this and make sure your link is working properly!

Beyond this I think it is time to go off and explore. I would be delighted to have you with me on my downline and you can follow any of the links on this page to do so.
