So, not only will you be surfing and earning traffic
credits as fast as possible, but you will also be
earning Instant Buzz credits.
What I do is go from left to right and click on the
next paid ad for that program. When you do that,
it will generally open up a separate window on the far
right of my tabs (a couple of exceptions to this rule
are Hits4Pay and LinkGrand which open the ads up in the
same window.) When this happens, I just click on
the down arrow on the far right of the list of tabs
which opens up a dropdown list of my tabs.
I then click on the next site after the one I just
clicked the ad for, click the next ad on that site,
click the down arrow, pick the next site, and so on.
After I have clicked on about 30 ads or so, I start
shutting down the tabs of the ads themselves using the
red X on the right of the name on the tab. And as
you click on the last ad for any particular site, you
can click on the red X on the tab of that site. As
you get used to doing it, you can really get through a
lot of ads this way. I have about 24 PTC sites on
my tabbed bookmark and I generally click on over 200 ads
in about a half-hour.
B. Safe Lists: A safe list works
by sending out hundreds or thousands of emails to
other people who have signed up for the safe list
and have agreed to accept emails. In return, you are
sent a comparable number of emails from the other
safe list members. I don't have a ton of experience
with Safe Lists, but I have used one and it seemed
to give me a decent amount of traffic and a few
referrals. The following is a step by step
process to join one specific Safe List - Got Safe
List:
The first thing you need to prepare an email address.
1) Get a free email account - you do not want to
use any of your primary email addresses for this as
you will be receiving a huge number of emails in it.
A good one free email program to look at is:
http://www.slashmymail.com
2) Once your email account is set up, go to Got
SafeList:
http://www.gotsafelist.com/
When joining you will be asked for two different
email addresses:
1) Your "Contact Email Address" which can be
your regular, or personal email address.
2) Your "List" (which, at times, will also be
called "Subscribe"...or..."Safelist" email address).
MAKE SURE you enter your new free email address for
your "Safelist" email. Again, you will be sent
hundreds of emails, and you
DO NOT want them going
to your personal email account.
4) You will have to verify both email addresses
before your account is active.
Now, you have joined your first safelist and you
have verified your email addresses.
At this point, nearly every safelist is going to try
to "sell" you something before you can get to the
members area, to send your emails....There is no
reason to upgrade or purchase anything, at this
point. Most of the safelists are getting a little
tricky with you being able to enter your members
area. With "GotSafelist", once you log in, you
will come to a 'sales' page, and right under their
header, they have a little red link that says:
"Click here to continue to GOT Safelist Member's
Backoffice". Go ahead and click that little
link.
Once inside the members area, place you mouse on the
"Getting Started" button (located towards the top
left) and then click on the "How To Get Started"
link. Follow their steps:
For "HotLink Site Name", put in something attention
grabbing like: "100% FREE, 100% guaranteed to make
money!", but you can come up with whatever sentence
you like. Once you have your "HotLink" set up, click
on the "Post Safelist Ad" (located towards the top
middle) Now, once on the that page, scroll
down, and you'll see your "HotLink" is already in
place.
For "Subject" you can use something like: 100%
FREE...What are you waiting for?
For "Message" use something like:
100% FREE program that is guaranteed to earn money
for you. There is NO way for you to lose.
http://freemoneyteam.com/?198 (be sure to
replace '198' with YOUR Free Money Team account
number)!
Click the "Save This Ad" box....(this way you won't
have to re-write the ad, next time you send one).
You can also click the "Send A Receipt"....if you'd
like. Now, be sure to use as many credits as you
can, and then click SEND.
That's it, your email
will go out to the masses. All Safelists work
similarly, so this experience will speed up joining
others in the future.
5. Creating your Downline - Pay Methods
Like most things in life, you will get the best
results if you are willing to pay for it. I think
you can build a decent downline using many of the
free methods above; however, some paid advertising
will allow you to reach a greater number of
potential referrals in a shorter period of time.
I have found and used several paid advertising
campaigns that can get a lot of hits for a small
amount of money. Here are a few of them that
you may want to try:
A. Clixsense PTC advertising. You
can advertise .01 cent links for .012 cents each (so
you can get 500 clicks for $6.00). If you have
accrued some money in your Clixsense account, you
can apply it towards your advertising cost.
Clixsense also lets you target your ad to go to a
particular country, interest category, and other
categories.
B. LinkGrand PTC advertising.
You can purchase 1,000 clicks on their site for
$5.00. The nice thing about LinkGrand is that your
link stays in the list of ads even after it stops
paying. You will generally get about 1,100 -
1,200 total hits with this purchase. I
generally get about 5 - 15 signups from these
purchases.
C. Adbux.org PTC advertising. 1,000
10 second ads for $15.00. Similar to LinkGrand,
these ads linger out there beyond the 1,000 hit
mark, so you can expect an extra 50 - 150 hits from
your purchase.
D.
YouRoMail.com Email Advertising:
0.25 cent email to all members for $2.00. The
site claims to have 19,000 members, but I generally
get about 1,500 clicks which is still a great deal
for $2.00.
E.
Nocturnal Email Email Advertising:
0.10 cent email for 2,500 hits for $2.80.
A good plan is to find email or PTC advertising
from sites where you don't see Free Money Team
advertising. I used DreamCatcherAds.com to
advertise a few weeks ago, but now I constantly see
Free Money Team ads on that site and in their paid
emails from other users and I don't see any reason
to pay money to compete with other team members for
the same readers. Another good idea is to find
PTC or PTR (paid to read - emails) sites that aren't
on the Free Money Team program list since any reader
of your ad from a Free Money Team site will already
be a member of that site and that would be one less
program that would be in your downline.
6. To Upgrade Or Not To
Upgrade
Ok, now you have joined all the sites, you have
started visiting on the sites each day to click on
the paid links and emails to start accumulating
money. You have also begun surfing the traffic
exchange sites regularly, and maybe even bought some
advertising or used a free list and have started to
grow your downlines. There is another thing
you should take a look at to further grow your
income - many of the programs have upgraded or
premium programs that come with various benefits.
In this section, I will review the premium package
for some of the different free money programs and
advise when it would be beneficial to upgrade.
The ClixSense premium program is unique in that it
doesn't involve any benefits with clicks from your
referrals.
The upgrade to a premium account is $10 per year and
the sole benefit is that you get a lot more ads to
click. When I first upgraded, I had 544 ads to
click and about 10 of them were 3 and 2 cent ads.
I clicked through a couple of hundred of them,
checked a couple of hours later and I had over 350
more ads (about 20 more than I had when I stopped
clicking) and a couple of more 3 cent ads to click
on. I had made up more than half of the money
I had paid for the upgrade in the first couple of
days. Now, every time I log in, I almost always
have 10 or more (sometimes way more) ads to click
than I had the last time I was on ClixSense.
You would only need to click on an average of less
than 3 additional ads per day to get your $10 back
and I promise you, you will find a lot more
than that available each day after you upgrade and
you will find several that pay more than a penny.
Conclusion: As long as you log in to
the site regularly (at least once or twice a day
most days), this is an absolute no-brainer - you
will absolutely make a lot more money than you paid
for the upgrade. If you are a user that hardly
ever logs in to the site to click on the paid links,
the upgrade is probably not for you. Note:
ClixSense allows advertisers to select certain
geographic areas to receive their ads. I live
in the USA and may have more ads to click than
residents from other countries.
The Titan Clicks upgraded program is called the
"Green Membership" and it has the following
benefits:
-
Get .01 for every green (regular) ad, .006 for
every (micro) purple ad and .002 for every blue
(nano) ad your referrals click. These are
all double the amount you earn from your
referrals if you are not an
upgraded member.
-
Ability to join 3 more interest categories
(which should bring additional ads)
-
Bonuses when your referrals buy a referral
package ($1.00) or upgrade their membership
($2.00)
-
Other benefits such as being able to chat with
your downline, ability to see when your
referrals were last active, and ability to prune
inactive referrals.
I generally get around 3-4
ads per day (in addition to about 5 micro ads per
day) in the Titan Clicks program. I'm going to
assume that I click 3 ads per day on average.
Thus, the premium I could expect from the upgrade is
approximately $10.95 (3 * .01 * 365) per year.
Hopefully this could be higher if the additional
interest categories bring additional ads, but this
is a good, conservative estimate. As there are
generally about twice as many micro ads as regular
ads, because micro ads only pay half as much, the
income from each of them is about the same.
Thus, I am going to assume that a 25% premium from
regular ads and a 50% premium from micro ads clicked
by referrals nets out to about a 37.5% premium of
your total income from referrals if you were to
upgrade. Thus to make up the other $19.05 per
year that your upgrade cost, you would need
approximately $51.10 in referral income.
Conclusion: As you can only recover a
little more than one-third of the cost of upgrade by
your own clicks, you should wait until you are
earning at least 14 cents per day from your
referrals before upgrading. You can get an
idea of this by analyzing your balance for a few
consecutive days (after subtracting out earnings
from your own clicks). At that break even
point, you will still likely make money from
upgrading due to occasional referral package and
upgrade bonuses, additional ads due to adding more
interest categories, and your ability to continue to
grow your downline.
The Bux.to premium membership costs $59 per year and
has three primary benefits:
-
The surf ads are loaded with at least 20 ads per
day.
-
All of your clicks pay 1.25 cents instead of 1
cent.
-
All of your referral's clicks pay 1.25 cents
instead of 1 cent.
I
have not upgraded Bux.to yet, but am thinking about
it. Currently, I generally get about 12
clicks (and thus 12 cents) per day from this site.
20 ads at .0125 would earn 25 cents, so the daily
premium of 13 cents per day works out to almost $47
per year - close to the cost of the upgrade.
When you also consider the premium from your
referral clicks, you can certainly make a lot more
money - for every 50 referral clicks you get in a
week, you would make an additional $6.50 per year in
income from being upgraded.
Conclusion: If you are generally able to
log in at least once almost every day, you should
definitely upgrade - the only risk here might be the
site going out of business! And if you are getting a
decent amount of referral clicks, you will certainly
realize a lot more income from upgrading. If
you are not willing or able to click on the links
regularly, you should keep track of your daily
referral clicks (from the My Stats section) to see
if an additional .0025 per click would justify the
upgrade considering the number of clicks you do get
yourself.
To recap, you should do the following things:
1. Register for every "Get Paid to Click",
"Get Paid for Free"
and "Get Free Traffic" program and enter and save your
Program IDs. I know there are a lot - if it looks
intimidating, make a schedule. Plan to join 10
today, 10 more tomorrow, and the rest the next day.
2. Download Mozilla Firefox browser, and
install it as well as the Instant Buzz toolbar.
3. Make sure to log into the Paid-To-Click
sites and click on the paid links at least once each
day. Once you have the sites set up in one or more
tabbed groups on Firefox, you will be able to get through these
pretty quickly. Some of the sites such as ClixSense and LinkGrand seem to have new ads all day
long, so you may want to get into the habit of going
to some
of the sites more often and others just once
per day.
4. Try to surf for traffic site credits for at least
a half-hour per day. This will get your
referral ad out there many many times to several
different traffic sites which should lead to clicks
and signups.
