Hi everyone, I hope your earnings are soaring! Many thanks to all who are reading, following, and signing up. We can do it! Here is an update on my programs:
Neobux - By last weekend, I found I had made back my initial $5 investment. Inspired, I decided to pony up another $10. I used $7.50 of that to rent 30 referrals for a month, and then I have been using the rest to renew my original pack of referrals. If you renew for 90 days, you get the referrals at a 20% discount. For a standard member like myself, this means they cost $0.72 each. I still have a few that need doing. I made another couple of dollars fast and also put that into renewals. I have recycled 4 people and am waiting to see how they turn out.
I don't know how I feel about recycling. I am trying to find a strategy that fits me and will earn me extra money, which is more challenging as a standard member. At first I wasn't going to recycle at all, feeling that one investment is enough on someone and if I go too crazy recycling everyone I will lose even more than if I had just left the referral as it was. Do you have any ideas?
All this buying and recycling got me confused as to how to calculate my earnings, but then I found the banner link that would display my total. As of right now I have earned $7.88 total. I am confident I can at least make back my $15 investment and hopefully some more. I still love neobux!
Work from Home HQ and Cookbook - These are still top choices in my book. That problem I was having with email delays from Craigslist seems to have cleared up, and I can easily do my 5 posts at each site while I have my coffee in the morning. Even though not all ads posted get approved, these programs are my top earners. I have $8.59 at HQ and $4.80 at Cookbook. Cookbook hasn't changed the website review section lately and I am running out of things to say about the one they have, but I did earn over a dollar just doing that alone.
Mylot - I am up to $0.51. I still love this site for networking, and if I am looking for opinions on a program, I can always find plenty of users already writing about it here.
Wordlinx - I am up to $1.37. I got another referral from GetRef, this one is actually active :o) I am holding out to get a couple more referrals as soon as they go on sale this March 15th. I should have enough to buy 2 by then. The referral limit here is 50 so hopefully if I ever reach this point, I will be raking in the cash!
Swagbucks - Just by doing my normal level of computer activity searching, that is to say, not searching for the sake of earning swagbucks, I am already half way to earning a $5 Amazon gift card (which costs only $45 swagbucks total). If I threw in a few more searches this way I could probably get this much faster. There are tons of rewards to choose from, by the way.
GetRef - Things are actually starting to work out for me here. I got an active Wordlinx referral, was introduced to GPT Bank, and I have been earning every day by clicking on links. You have to earn at least one credit by joining a program every 90 days. I am not in a rush to do this, so I am going to keep clicking on links and banking those hundreths of a credit until I don't have any more credits to promote with. I still have one available sign up before I have to think about this.
Unobux - I haven't gotten my $0.08 yet, which makes me hesitant. I have $0.47 from my own clicks. Although referrals are $0.35 each, you can't get at them since you have to have $1 to transfer into the rental balance. As soon as I reach $1 here I will get a couple of referrals and see what happens. I am averse to investing here because of the $0.08 loss I had last week. I am going to play this one by ear.
EasyHits4U - Still a great program, I like the rewards for reaching the 25, 50, and 100 mark each day. I still haven't gotten any referrals from here, though.
Clixsense - I am up to $1.06, which really isn't bad for clicks here and there during the day. This site also offers a grid that members can click on for a chance to win between $0.01 and $5.00. Standard members get 20 tries per day and upgraded members get 50. I still haven't had any luck but it is a fun way to kill 5 minutes!
GPT Bank - I have joined cafebux and prosperbux through this site, but I don't know yet if I will continue working on them. The cool part of GPT bank is that you earn a percentage of what you earn on other sites, up to 100%! As far as I understand, this is like getting paid twice for PTC things that I am already doing.
The thing I love most about this program is the scam list. Even if you join a program and it turns out to be a scam, GPT Bank will still pay you it's percentage of the earnings. Now I know, though, where I should think about joining and where I should know better. It is worth it to join the site for this list alone. There is also a helpful forum which offers a free referral exchange area.
OK readers, I'm off to bed. Thanks for everything and I will surely keep you posted. Don't forget it is Daylight Savings Time this weekend! Spring ahead in all that you do!

Another Great Program!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to fill you in on another great program I am trying, it is called Clixsense. This program pays per ad clicked and sends you a check in the mail after the payout of $10 has been reached. I joined last night and so far I have made $0.40. It costs $10 per year to upgrade, and once you do, there are literally hundreds of higher paying ads available to see. Other users have reported making their investment back in as little as two weeks.
Once my Work from Home HQ and Cookbook payments come in, I might take $10 from that and upgrade to see how things pan out. Right now, I just check in every once in a while and click all the available ads. It seems there are some available at different intervals during the day.
Check it out! The link is in the upper right hand corner of the screen. There's nothing to lose, right?

The Good with the Bad
Hi Dear Readers! I hope you are all doing well. I had a wonderful weekend exploring New York City, and have been getting back into the swing of things slowly but surely. With things at my day job, it has taken a while to catch up! I want to give honest updates on things, which is why the title of the post is what it is. One thing I have learned so far is that these things take time to work, and a lot of patience! Some things are wonderful and I have hit some glitches with others.
Here goes...
NeoBux - This site is still by far the best. Right now, I have $4.567. I still have 3 direct referrals and 20 rented ones. My rented referrals have 12 days left on them, and between my clicks and theirs, I am making about $0.50 per day. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I will have made back my referral investment, and with the 11 days I have left, if I make (a conservative estimate) $0.40 per day, I will have at least $4.40 profit for the month, which I will pump back into renting another set of referrals.
I have learned that it is wise to log in at different times during the day, since sometimes there are ads that are available for a limited time only. A cent here and there might not seem like much, but if everyone did it, we would all make more.
After the next set of rentals, I will have the option to upgrade my membership. I don't know if this is a wise choice. Right now I am going to stay as a standard member to see how things pan out.
Work from Home HQ and Cookbook - I still adore these programs, but I am not earning as fast as I had originally anticipated. Since I do these in the morning, and sometimes Craigslist takes a while to respond with the confirmation links, I have hit a snag. I need to go to my day job and can't sit and wait for the confirmation links. This is really Craigslist's fault, though, not the Work from Home sites' fault. I still make attempts to earn every day though, with some days being better than others. Right now, I have $5.89 at HQ and $2.40 at Cookbook. As soon as I hit the payout amount of $20 at each site, I am going to take that money and pump it into referrals at NeoBux.
Another facet to these sites is posting ads to Backpage and writing articles and website reviews. I created a Backpage account but there haven't been any ads to post lately. HQ pays $0.01 cent per Backpage ad posted and confirmed, and Cookbook pays $0.03. It's another thing to try. HQ pays up to a dollar per article, something I haven't tried yet, and Cookbook pays $0.10 per accepted website review. I have done and been approved for two of these so far. It is easy money for writing a couple of sentences!
MyLot - I am up to $0.33. I have read that users can make $1 a day if they make around 100 quality posts every day. Something to think about if you like discussion groups! Personally, I am going to stay here and use it as a place for networking. Sign up and give it a try!
Wordlinx - I am up to $0.81 and have one direct referral. I have noticed that there aren't as many ads to click lately, but I am going to stick with it. I am promoting this site on EasyHits4U and GetRef, and I have enough to buy a referral when they become available, so hopefully things will take off soon. This is another site where it pays to check for ads multiple times per day.
Swagbucks - I still have the toolbar, use it for my primary surf engine, and am winning swagbucks here and there. I highly recommend this program as a way to get paid for something you do anyway.
GetRef - I had a referral for Wordlinx, but this person did not even sign up for the program or make any clicks. I tried to give this person some time to do it, but I waited too long and the person got the credits automatically without having done anything. That is a major bummer since I have now lost 2 hard earned credits on nothing. Lesson learned! The good news is that I have enough earn credits to begin clicking ads to earn credits. I started doing that today. There is no shortage of ads and each one is worth a fraction of a credit. You have to view each ad for 15 seconds each. At the rate I am going I should earn 2 credits per month, which technically could equal one referral per month. Like I've said before, I'm in too far with this one to back out, so I am going to stick with it for at least a while longer.
UnoBux - The "bad" comes with this program. After some apparent server problems that caused many login problems, I have lost a couple of days' clicking. I also have seen that $0.08 are missing from my total amount of clicks. I emailed support and got a prompt and polite reply, saying that my money would be back "soon". I am waiting to see when "soon" is. If it doesn't come through in a week, I am going to abandon this program. I don't have time to fool around with programs that aren't trustworthy, and I know you don't either. On the other hand, they did respond quickly and professionally, and everyone makes mistakes, so if the money is recuperated, I will stick with the program.
EasyHits4u - Still a great program, clean and easy to surf. Again, though, if I don't get any wordlinx referrals from here, I will start promoting something else, probably NeoBux.
Thanks again for reading. Let me know how your endeavors are going!

2 New Programs
Hi again, I just wanted to fill you in on 2 more programs! Give them a look!
UnoBux - if you like NeoBux, you'll enjoy UnoBux as well. It offers the same clean and professional platform as NeoBux, along with a forum area and an opportunity to rent referrals. It pays 1 cent per click and so far I have had 8 clicks today. Unlike NeoBux, referrals are available singly at 35 cents each. At the rate I am earning, I should be able to rent one referral within a week's time.
Work from Home Cookbook - This program is very much like Work from Home HQ, which you know I adore. There is a higher posting limit so there is greater earning potential. Just copy and post ads onto Craigslist. Currently the ads are paying 15 cents each, so there is more potential to earn another $20 or more per month at this site.
If you like the sound of any of these programs, again, my links are at the upper right hand corner of the screen. Enjoy checking them out and please let me know how you're doing with them! We are all in this together!

Midweek Update
Hello again! How is your week going? Mine is absolutely flying by! I have been enjoying checking my links, making connections with other clickers, and seeing my balances rise. Here are today's updates:
NeoBux - Still going strong! I got another direct referral, thank you! As of right now, I have $1.812, so if things continue this way, by the end of the month I should have broken even on my referrals and hopefully get some more. I am going to be out of town this weekend so I will lose a little, unless I can find an Internet café.
Work from Home HQ - I still love this program! I haven't earned as much as I would have liked over the past couple of days, since several of my ads weren't paid due to ghosting. I do have a couple of referrals so far and today's ads have been approved. Today's balance is $4.24. Ghosting means that ads don't show up on Craigslist for some reason, no one knows exactly why. Various theories include the time of day, type of ad, the number of ads posted, and the IP address. I figure it is the luck of the draw, I will still log in every day and attempt to get my 5 ads. Does anyone know if you can try again if an ad has been declined? For the first time, I had to phone verify my account. Here is the link to do so in case you need to as well : https://post.craigslist.org/abq/H/reb/none/x It was very easy. I just typed in my phone number, and got an automated call with a code that I typed into the site.
MyLot - I have made $0.31 so far. Not a lot of money, but then again, I haven't been posting much. Some users have made thousands of posts and are top earners, so I know it is possible. For me, this site is an amazing way to network and to discuss PTC programs. There are all sorts of discussions going on and it really caters to any interest. I recommend signing up if you like to write and meet people. I have just arranged a referral exchange with another user starting today.
Wordlinx - I am still clicking actively and now have $0.47, saving up for those referrals! My referral exchange from MyLot is for this program. With this program, I will get $0.05 for the referral itself, then 5% of click revenue. I am promoting this program using easyhits4u, but I haven't had any results yet.
GetRef - I have earned enough credits to promote there, and I chose to promote Wordlinx since so many others are already promoting NeoBux. I am waiting for enough ratings to be able to click ads to earn credits. I unfortunately have had two declines due to not reading the directions fully before clicking to join them, so now I have to wait 5 more days (out of a 7 day block) to be able to try again.
Swagbucks - I am now up to 12 swagbucks, which is about 1/4 of the way to a $5 Amazon gift card. I have downloaded the toolbar and continue to use it whenever I am looking something up online. I really like this program, I search a lot and figure I might as well get paid for it! Even if it takes a while, the prize is more than I would have had if I had just been on Google or similar sites.
EasyHits4u - I have been clicking every here and there and have been making my goal of earning at least 50 hits per day. I have won several batches of banner impressions and some tickets to their drawings. I am promoting Wordlinx here but still haven't had any referrals. If I don't get anything in a month, I think I will change what I am promoting.
So that's the update! How are your endeavors going? Don't be a stranger! I'll update again before I leave town for the weekend.

One week in!
Hi all! Thanks for sticking with me this far! I have been plugging right along and feel confident that this month will be a success for me. I just want to give updates on all my programs before this week gets rolling. I want to mention that from now on, you'll find links to my favorite programs on the upper right hand corner of the screen. We'll start at the top, with NeoBux.
NeoBux- I am happily clicking and am glad to say that I have another direct referral that I found through my involvement at MyLot. I am following her blog and recommend her highly! I have broken the dollar point and feel that I am well on my way to meeting my goal of at least breaking even by the end of the 28-day referral rental period. I figured out that in order to break even, each referral needs to make 50 clicks over this time. Hopefully those that don't will average out with those that do more. Depending on how much extra I have, I will recycle those whose click average is less than 2.0.
Work from Home HQ - I can't say enough good things about this program. I am so glad I found it! As of today, I have $3, soon to be $3.75 as soon as today's ads are approved. I am looking forward to applying this money to NeoBux rentals and renewals. Today I logged in later than usual and still had no problem getting my daily limit of 5 ads. I am glad I didn't give up on this one.
MyLot - This is another program I won't be leaving. I am now up to $0.21 and I have broadened my interests and hope to be adding to various discussions soon.
You may have noticed that I have added some new links to my favorites. The first is WordLinx, a program I got involved with in a referral exchange.
WordLinx - This is a super PTC program that has plenty of ads to click at various times of the day. I already am up to $0.30 and it's only the second day. This money/site credit can be cashed out, used to get hits on your website, or to purchase referrals. I am saving for the last option. Referrals are $0.70 each and are currently "sold out" until mid March.
GetRef - This is a PTC and GPT site that allows users to cash in for legitimate referrals on various websites. You have to sign up for programs to get credits to be able to click and promote your own. This is taking longer than I would have liked, but I am going to stick with it. I have already found 2 more stellar programs and have taken advantage of their easy to use communication platform.
Swagbucks - This is a paid to search program that randomly allots "swagbucks" that can later be cashed in for gift cards and prizes. Its search results are from google and ask.com, so it is very trustworthy and usable. I have been doing my usual level of searching and have already been awarded 8 swagbucks. This one's a keeper!
EasyHits4u - I joined this program through GetRef and am very glad that I did. It is a very clean and professional site with a smooth running interface for ad surfing - no separate windows, which I love! It offers bonuses and it was very easy and fun for me to rack up enough points to start promoting another site (I chose WordLinx) in very little time. Definitely worth checking out!
I hope you take the time to look at these programs, remember, the links are in the upper right! Best wishes and stay tuned!

Weekend Wonders
Hi all! Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you find some time to be good to yourself today!
I just wanted to weigh in with a few updates for the weekend. Things are going well for me at Work from Home HQ. I have been doing it steadily every day while I have my morning coffee, and with the exception of one ad that got ghosted, I have been paid 0.15 per ad. Not counting today's submissions, I have $2.25 in my account. I will request payment as soon as I hit $20, it should take about a month, and I plan to pump that money straight into my NeoBux referral rentals.
Each day, I learn something new at NeoBux, either through good old fashioned personal experience or through the forums or chat. The first thing I learned is the importance of clicking each and every day. Now that I have referrals, I found that unless you click 4 ads on any given day, you won't earn unlimited clicks from the referrals on the following day. This won't be a problem for me until next Saturday, when I will be out of town for a day. Hopefully I won't lose too much. Really, this is a hobby and I don't want to be too much of a slave to it!
Many people complain that there are only 4 ads for standard members to click. I have found that I can get a few extra clicks by logging in whenever I have a spare minue, during my lunch hour at my day job, for example. I have had as many as 7 clicks in one day. Those 3 extra clicks have the potential to add up, so I would say if you have a few extra seconds, check your account! Yesterday, I was in the chat and heard people talking about "extra" ads. I don't know if this had to do with it being on Friday, but I took advantage of them!
As you know, I rented 20 referrals, which was a $5 investment on my part. As of yesterday, I had 6 referrals that hadn't clicked at all, so I recycled them at a price of 8 cents each, so that was 48 cents more as an investment. Then, I decided to enable autopay, which was a mistake on my part, since I don't fully understand it. What I do understand at this point is that autopay extends the referral at a discounted price (10% off), and that they charge you every day that the referral clicks. So, by the time I had gotten home from work, I was actually down about 10 cents, but it isn't lost money, I just extended the referrals who had clicked. I think that for now, I prefer to manually extend my referalls, since I don't have much of a cushion to fall back on. Maybe I will try to enable it next month.
This SNAFU aside, I have a financial goal to have made at least $5.48 (to cover my initial investment for the referrals) plus at least 0.01 cent for each of the clicks that I have made for myself, then I will feel successful just to have broken even. I am learning that this takes a lot of time and patience, but I really feel that it will be worth it in the long run! Looking at the totals of veteran users' forum posts assures me of that. I have 2 referrals that aren't clicking right now, but I am not going to recycle them. I am going to leave it as is to see how this pans out for the month. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew!
As of right now, I have only earned 5 cents from my involvement at MyLot , but really, I have gained much more. I have several friends on my list and have been introduced to many programs and ideas that I don't think I would have found otherwise. So, for that reason, it's a keeper.
I have decided that it is better to work on a few good programs than to overextend myself working on a bunch of them. So, I would like to begin to search for more ways to get traffic and signups from my links. I am already on Twitter. Any more ideas?
Best wishes to you all! Keep clicking!
