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.

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!
