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!
