NeoBux is the gold standard of Paid to Click programs


NeoBux is the gold standard of Paid to Click programs that most new programs try to emulate. I believe that it is now the top paid to click program on the internet. They pay instantaneously with a low payout level. All of my payment requests were completed instantly. Your first payout can be made at the low level of $2.00. No more waiting for weeks to receive your payments. You can also use your account balance instantaneously to fund your referral rentals or plays in the jackpot. This timeframe for payments was basically unheard of in PTC programs before NeoBux. I really doubted that it could be done but the payments have been received in the timeframes promised.

They have ads that refresh every day and if you check during the day there will sometimes be additional ads. I found 6 to 8 ads most days at the free member level. Most of the ads are worth $0.01 at the free level but occasionally they are worth more. To access the ads simply click on the view advertisement link from you member page. Next click on the advertisement link. On the advertisement link, a red circle will show up. Just click on the circle and the advertisement page will load in a new window. It is very simple to use and the site appears to be very safe with 256 bit encryption.

NeoBux offers a couple of features that can really help anyone who does not have a lot of money to invest in programs. You can transfer you balance from your clicks to a couple of areas of the program without having to request payment. You can use your balance instantly to rent referrals or play the jackpot. The jackpot has cash prizes and referral prizes with clearly defined odds. I am usually not a great fan of lottery type games but I used my earnings to play the jackpot and won 200 referrals. This is a quick and easy way to reinvest in the program and grow your earnings.

The referral system for this site is great if you are interested in renting referrals. In fact it has been so well received that it is usually very difficult to find referrals available for rent. The way that the system works is that you are able to rent referrals for between $0.20 and $0.25 per month depending on your membership level. These rented referrals will now earn for you with every click that they make. You can renew the referral on these members or choose not to at the end of the month. Another great feature is that you can set the rented referrals for auto pay where there rental fee comes out of the referrals 1st click of the day and saves you 10% on the rental fee.

If you have ever purchased or rented referrals, you know about the dreaded inactive referral. These are the referrals that you pay for that never click and never earn money for you. To alleviate this problem, NeoBux holds each un-referred user for 5 days to make sure that they will be active before renting them. If you do rent one that does not click in the first 14 days you can change it out free of charge. If at any time you are unhappy with the click level or they become inactive later on you can change out that referral for only $0.05. This allows you to keep your referrals clicking and earning you money.

A basic strategy that works very well with NeoBux is as follows:

1. Choose a time of day that you can click ads and eventually manage your referrals at the same time everyday.

2. Click all available ads everyday (when you get referrals this is necessary to earn from referral clicks).

3. Utilize all free methods of advertising to gain any direct referrals. Talk it up with your friends and relatives. Put a tagline on your e-mail signature. Post in forums. Use free traffic exchanges.

4. Once your account balance reaches $2. Transfer this money to your rental balance and rent 3 referrals. It is only $0.75 to rent the referrals but you will need the remainder to properly manage the referrals.

5. Put the autopay function on.

6. If a referral of yours has not clicked in the last three days and has a click average of less than 1.8 then recycle it ($0.07) and get a new referral. If they have a click average of over 1.8, I will give them 7 days before I recycle them. I will give those with an average of over 2.0 the full 14 days to return and click just because I would hate to recycle a great referral just because they were on vacation for a week.

7. Whenever, one of your referrals goes below 20 days before next payment pay to add another 30 days. Below 20 days, the autopay function does not work and you will not get the savings for that referral.

8. Every time your account balance reaches $1 transfer the money to your rental balance. At first when you are only making a couple of cents per day it is important to keep enough in your rental balance to maintain your recycling activity because you can only transfer in $1 increments. Once you can complete this transfer and have at least $2.40 in your rental balance rent another 3 referrals.

9. Continue this process until you are making a $1 a day in your account balance. At this point you can begin renting in bigger chunks of referrals every 7 days. Never rent a number of referrals that is greater than 33% of your existing totals as these will become difficult to manage through recycling with your earnings.

10. It will take a while but continue the above listed process until you reach 200 referrals. At this point stop renting and just maintain your referrals. Accumulate the earnings until you can pay for the upgrade to golden.

11. Once golden, maintain your referrals as before. Every week continue to rent referrals until you hit the 2000 refs mark. Any money that you are not sinking into referral maintenance or renting is profit for you.

With the excellent payment times and the great referral opportunities, I am very pleased with NeoBux and I am moving it to the top of the paid to click rankings. It is definitely a 10.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Signing Up for Paid Surveys



Paid surveys are a nice and easy way to make extra income without picking up a second job. However, when it comes to determining which survey opportunities to participate in, ask yourself these three questions: Do I have to pay for it? Is this a viable business opportunity and is it long term? And what kind of cash can I realistically make? Each of these three questions will be answered in depth below and this will help you determine if the paid survey model is a good fit for you or not.

Do I have to pay for it? Any legitimate survey or market research company worth a salt will not require any kind of money from you up front. You are providing them real feedback so you should not be charged. Also a survey company should have an affiliate program where again it pays you if you refer your friends and family to partake in the surveys as well. Some companies take the time to compile directories or lists and sell memberships instead. If you look into these, be sure to read some reviews on the individual service first.
