Make Money Blogging: Attempt #3

Yeah, I just can't seem to leave this idea alone. Making money with my own blog would be totally awesome. My latest gig is freelance article writing, and before that website owning and list building. You'd think I would have stopped once I realized I could make money with surveys, but I just don't like how uncontrollable they are. It's completely unpredictable whether I'll get long or short surveys or whether I'll qualify. Sure, I could spend all day at it and count on making at least some money... but writing is what I love. I want to be able to write an article and know people will read it and like it and know that I'll earn something from it.

Here's a summary of my monetary blogging attempts:

1. Last May. That's how this got started. I read a handbook that guaranteed that I would be making money blogging within thirty days, so I followed it as closely as possible. I got tons of views, kicked out of a Reddit section for "blog-spamming"--which I totally didn't intend!--and really turned off some people with some Bidvertiser ads that were way out of hand. And guess what? I actually did make money by the end of it. It just wasn't coming from the blog. It was coming from things I had decided on while writing the blog, often ideas and inspirations that I decided to explore. So I left the blog and happily settled down with Survey Money Machine.

2. Sometime last summer or so. I heard about companies that pay you to review products on your blog. I do lots of reviewing here, so I thought it sounded like a good deal. I signed up with a bunch of companies... and none got back to me.

3. A repeat of #2, but hopefully with a better outcome? Also maybe some more of #1's experimentation (sorry if some of it backfires!)

So here's a code I need to verify myself to one site:

I'll be back soon... maybe...

Update (Hint: Clixsense rocks!)

Hi everyone,

Last May I did a lot of experimenting to reach my goal of making $100 in a single week online without investments, in the end finally succeeding via paid surveys. Yes, surveys are good, but there is one site I just can't leave alone: Clixsense. A PTC, simple and low paying, but consistent and effective. I've actually been earning enough on Clixsense alone to pay for Japanese lessons since fall, which I have found to be a beautiful and artistic language. Did you know that there are three different ways to write in Japanese? Once you get the hang of it, it's also a lot of fun to trace kanji on scraps of paper just for the sake of it.

But back to Clixsense. Throughout all of my referral hunting, Clixsense remains the only site where I actually started a downline. Recently a referral of a referral upgraded, and I got paid without doing a thing (which is awesome, by the way). But now it also sent me off on a tangent. How can I get more referrals, and has anything in that field changed since I looked at everything last year?

I was looking around, and I found something that caught my attention. And I think I'm gonna give it a try. Behold, the Clixsense Auto Chain! Unlike most chains, you don't need to join anything. The only program is Clixsense, and it's easy as anything to set up! Let's give it a go:

Clixsense Auto Chain, get many free referrals!!!

Start Earning Today!

Get many direct PTC referrals for ClixSense FREE and start earning money.

With Clixsense Auto Chain you can get a good number of active referrals for Clixsense totally FREE. All you need to invest is 5 minutes a day.

To understand the purpose of Clixsense Auto Chain, it's ​​necessary to know what Clixsense is and just how it works. ClixSense is a PTC (Paid To Click) and one of the best known. You register (see the link below) and you see ads after you log in. You're paid about $ 0.01 per ad viewed and $ 0.01 for each ad your referrals view. The more referrals, the greater the benefits. We all know that to make money with these systems the most important thing is to have active referrals, but sometimes that can be very discouraging and hard to keep up. With Clixsense Auto Chain, your referrals will be very active because they know they will get referrals in turn. Many of these systems (e.g., Neobux) only give you referral earnings if you were active that day. It is therefore important to have a good list of referrals and to be active yourself to keep it going.

By joining Clixsense Auto Chain, you will not only get a good number of FREE referrals, but your referrals will also get a good number of referrals, and best of all, all these referrals through Clixsense Auto Chain will be fully active because they will know for sure that they will get referrals and their referrals will also turn asset because it will get up to turn your referrals. Just follow the instructions and start making money with Clixsense.

How does Clixsense Auto Chain work?

Clixsense Auto Chain bases its operation on the system of duplication. Add your link once to the system, and before you know it, your link will be duplicated and promoted many times automatically by your own download.

Who can participate in Clixsense Auto Chain?

Everyone who already belongs to ClixSense and anyone interested in joining it can take part. To join Clixsense Auto Chain, copy and save all the text of this letter in your notebook, or a blogger after adding your link published this letter in forums, free ads, emails etc. added your link with the title: ” Clixsense Auto Chain, gets many referrals for free.”

Want to know more? Here's what sets Clixsense Auto Chain apart from conventional chains.

Conventional chains require your participation, often involving extensive registration and annoying upkeep as you keep trying to keep your link at the top.

More than that, a conventional chain requires supervision of at least one person who can easily become overwhelmed with problems, increasing as the chain grows and reaching a point where it is quite difficult for the supervisor to whom you are controlling the following referral, in addition to handling high traffic of mails. New users of the chain first ask the supervisor via email the link by which must in the string, and then the supervisor should send the link to the payment schedule given to get referrals. The supervisor should monitor and save these links and then give them to new users of the chain. Some users go as far as to accuse these supervisors to give referrals to others when you touched them. 

Clixsense Auto Chain  is automatic, does not need anyone’s supervision and also avoids the kind of accusations typical of a conventional chain.

Nor is it necessary to join Clixsense Auto Chain unsubscribe from ClixSense and is perfectly compatible Clixsense Auto Chain join but also belong to any other chain ClixSense.

Since Clixsense Auto Chain bases its operation on the power of duplication, a greater number of participants got higher level of duplicity of our link, reaching more people than many of them may already be registered with ClixSense and many others not even ClixSense have heard, these are the people who will become your referrals cycle at the end of your link.

Remember Clixsense Auto Chain's operation is based on the duplication of LINKS. You might not get  referrals instantly, but as more people join the chain your own link will be broadcast to many others. That's when referrals come pouring down.

Follow Clixsense Auto Chain standards. Do not try to cheat to get referrals tomorrow; you’re hurting yourself and everyone else. 

To join Clixsense Auto Chain, follow these steps:

STEP 1. Copy everything full text Clixsense Auto Chain, do not change anything, to be effective Clixsense Auto Chain everyone should read the whole text, and save it to your notebook computer or computer. (Later you’ll need it).

STEP 2. In the list you see below this paragraph just click on the link that is in the highest position in the list (if the link does not work copy the link and paste it in the address bar of your browser) and join ClixSense (if already ClixSense a member of this step is not necessary) once registered your link located at ClixSense for referring users.

SIGN IN ANY OF THESE LINKS SO YOU CAN BE PART OF THE CLIXSENSE AUTO CHAIN

Positon 4.

Position 5. http://www.clixsense.com/?5382446

STEP 3. Open your notebook with all the message and delete the link number 1, then passes the link number 2 to position 1, the link number 3 to number 2, the link number 4 to number 3, the link number 5 to number 4. thus the link that was when you saw Clixsense Auto Chain first in the number 1 position become vacant will be gone and ranked No. 5, add your link to the position No 5. (Do not forget to add http:// before your link).

STEP 4. From here is where the real power of Auto Chain starts.

Start searching for online forums, bulletin boards, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites (chats), discussions, discussion groups, online communities, everything that serves to spread the message and publishes Auto Chain the ALL AUTOCHAIN MESSAGE without changing anything except your link at number 5. Do not write it by hand, would spend hours writing, simply copy the contents of your scrapbook and paste to all these sites. Studies of this system are estimated to put 200 ads, my advice is to put more of these ads the first day and then put 1, 2 or 3 each day, so your referrals continue to increase every day.

You can also send it to your contacts and friends, but do not spam; it's annoying and a crime. Spam is when you send messages to people who did not want them and have not given you permission to write them.

It is proven that for every 200 people who see this type of ad, at least 15 joined. These 15 new members will do the same as you doubling your link.

You send 200 listings come together 15 people.
1. 15 (1) = 15 people = Your link is duplicated 15 times.
2. 15 (15) = 225 people = Your link is duplicated 225 times.
3. 15 (225) = 3375 people = Your link is duplicated 3375 times.
4. 15 (3375) = 50625 people = Your link is duplicated 50,625 times.
5. 15 (50625) = 759375 people = Your link is duplicated 759,375 times.

Realistically you’re not going to get to the end of your cycle 759,375 referrals, but suppose you get 100 referrals (a ridiculous figure watching the level of duplication of your links). Was it worth losing 5 minutes a day?

How do you win?

Assuming that we won those 100 referrals in a program and that the program will pay 0.01 cent per click or email and clicks or maximum daily emails are 4′re winning:
$ 0.04 for your daily clicks.
$ 4 daily for the clicks of your referrals.
$ 0.04 x 30 days = $ 1.2
$ 4 x 30 days = $ 120

What makes a total of $ 121.2 monthly PTC or PTR, if you participate in several PTCS Autochains or Pars imagine how much you can earn per month for those 5 minutes a day. Even having achieved only 10 referrals for PTC and earn $ 12 per month for PTC or PTR and your participation has paid off.

Welcome at Clixsense Auto Chain, start enjoying REFERRAL BENEFITS!

Simply the Best PTC World!

$156.12 for week one: Success!

Yes, you read that right. Week one of one of my projects earned me over $150. And it didn't cost me a cent to join. I didn't think it was possible, especially not since it was something that I had, more or less, already tried. But I have finally found the program that works for me! And what's even better? It doesn't require any skills. I'm not selling anything, doing online chores for people, or anything like that.

I'm taking paid surveys.

I'll warn you right now that you should NOT go to some survey sites and sign up and hope to be as successful as I was. In fact, a year ago I dabbled in surveys and had no success at all. They were all long and boring, and I almost never qualified. There was no way I'd ever reach the minimum cash-out, and, well, they weren't fun.

But this time I did it differently. I joined Survey Money Machine. Totally free to join, no catch. They send out a week of tips for you, saying which survey sites to join when and why, and what strategies to use with them. I was skeptical, but since it was free I figured I had nothing to lose. And it worked. The funny think is, I didn't feel like it was working. I was told that I should have earned at least $100 by the end of my first week if I was doing it right, and I didn't feel like I was anywhere close. Thirty dollars, yes... forty, maybe... Just then I was asked to join one online study that would pay $60, so maybe counting that I could reach a hundred. I got out a notepad and looked through my different accounts before adding everything up. There it was. I had earned well over a hundred dollars, even passing a hundred fifty.

Please note that this is still not "fast, easy money." It takes about five hours a day to go through everything, and I have to keep my e-mail open constantly for new surveys. But it works, and I am very content with the effect. It surpassed my goal for making money online on the first week, and should only increase as time goes on.

Oh yeah--I'm starting to get into the fun surveys now. Recently I've gotten to watch movie previews and help set up a TV game show, though I'm not saying which one. I'm getting paid to test out a new game on my iPad, and it's not in pennies either.

Basically, Survey Money Machine works. Try it, you'll see. You'll be surprised.

One more thing: One of you joined me on Clixsense (finally!!). I know you've only been active one day, and then only clicking ads, but if you give it a chance it's really amazing how much you can make. I've gotten several paychecks, and it's nice.

Back for More!

Several paychecks and a Clixsense upgrade later, I've definitely made progress. It's still far from my initial goal, but things are moving in the right direction!

So what's the latest? I'm back to monetizing this blog. Not with ads, but with the posts themselves. As in, a company will pay me so much to write a post about it, and I'll be paid according to length. That sounds good to me!

In my application process I have to put a sentence in here so that I can prove I own the blog. Here goes:

The unbalanced discovery boosts the unseen blast.

See ya later!

My Study "Ends"

Day thirty has come and gone, and I'm so busy that it's hard to find time to write. My latest escapade is Twitter Marketing, which I'm trying after reading an e-book on how to make money online. It's surprisingly easy--establish your niche, provide quality content (often by subscribing to the RSS feeds of related blogs that you know and trust), and then sell only the best products. You can open as many accounts as you want in as many niches as you want, and selling as many products as you want. This method is actually much more work than it sounds, but I'm taking it one niche at a time, for now focusing only on my Online Income account. The trickiest thing is building a following, as last time I checked I had only about twenty-seven people. But I'm following more and hopefully it will build up (supposedly I can pass a thousand in a month if I do it right). If I have a thousand people on each of ten different accounts, and if only three or four of them buys anything per week, I'll have reached my goal! The best part is that it's mostly automated, and I can be sure of providing people with quality insight and content, which has been one of my biggest fears about monetizing Twitter.

In other news, results, etc.: I am now making three times my original rate at Neobux. Granted, twenty cents a day is still pathetic, but at this rate I'm expecting it to pick up nicely. Now it should be only about three or four days until I can rent my next three referrals, and then very soon after until I can rent three more. I've had bad luck with Clixsense lately, only making a few pennies a day instead of dollars, but hopefully it won't matter too much--I should be able to upgrade my account soon anyway, since my sponsor doesn't seem to be following through. I do have a good $3 coming in for sure next week from Protypers.

As for getting paid to draw, I took and drew several pictures I thought would be good... but they weren't high enough resolution to sell. I'll see if there's anything I can do to fix that, and if not I'll have to request a refund, as I just don't have the supplies needed.

I have not been paid yet from Richgo PTR, and I expect I never will. That makes it painful to go on the site every day and watch several ads to remain "in good standing." I'll admit, the way they do the payments is sketchy. They pay out only $50,000 a week, supposedly, and upgraded members (again supposedly) get first dibs, and they're drawn at random. The only way I can get paid is if they genuinely run out of upgraded members demanding payment and just so happen to draw my name instead. So... this would be kind of like winning the lottery, only with a lot more work put into it. I don't know if I'll bother waiting the full thirty days or not.

This blog, as you already know, has been a total failure in terms of making money. I did what I was supposed to, but it went nowhere. I also fell dramatically short of my goal of $100 a week--making a measly $5-10 a week instead. But I still have two months to figure it out before my wedding, and there are still many options I haven't tried yet! As I continue to earn money and re-invest it, I'm able to move on to more and more advanced options and services. I'm hoping to climb it like a ladder and stop after I've reached my goal.

As the thirty days have now ended, this blog will probably cease to be much of a priority for me. I'll try to keep you posted on the big things, but I really have much more important stuff going on in my life right now. Cheers!

Day 28: Updates and Info

I'm almost done now with my 30-day project, but I feel like I'm only just starting to figure things out! I have several notes and discoveries to jot down today, and most of it very positive.

• RichgoPTR did actually contact me last night to say that they have received my request, etc. Yes, they did suggest I upgrade, but it was still optional, and there was a decent explanation as to the limited payouts--they claim they can only afford to pay $50,000 every day and the priority always goes to upgraded members. I will hold them at their original word that basic members would get paid within 30 days. I will remain active so I can at any point be considered a member "in good standing" and so that they won't have any excuse not to pay me.
• I don't remember if I mentioned this, but I spent some of my Clixsense money on a "Get Paid to Draw" program after researching it and deciding it was worth it. I've only read through the e-book and watched some of the drawing tutorials so far, so have had no opportunity to try it out, but it looks fun, if not promising as well.
• Protypers.com, one of my moneymakers, has just bumped up the payouts another 50 cents per thousand captchas at any time of the day. That's huge, if you can't tell. I expect my profits there to get almost as big as they are at Clixsense. Ok, maybe not that high, but at least to the point where I can have weekly or bi-weekly checkouts.
• Donkeymails is awesome--so far. No, it doesn't pay very much, but there is NO payout limit at all--meaning that if you realize you can't earn more than five cents a day and decide to give up on day one, you can actually withdraw that five cents that you earned. A refreshing load of confidence, at least. And there's also the fact that you seriously could spend all day earning on that site, which, despite the fact that you're only earning fractions of pennies, is a cool thought. Be warned, though--I have just read up on it and apparently it has a reputation for randomly deleting people's accounts after they request payouts. I have not yet requested one, so I can't say one way or the other. But so far so good!
• I joined and explored Hourly Chic Pay. It's a cross between investing and surfing, where you get paid hourly according to your investments and the success of the website. They also promise a free $12 for signing up so that you don't have to put your own money in to invest. That might be true on a technicality, but I was disappointed to find that the $12 is not in your account--it's spread out among their different payment processors (which unfortunately don't include PayPal or Payza) on $3 per site. On top of that, you have to have at least $10 on the given processor to withdraw. That frustrated me. Maybe someday I'll be able to invest in Hourly Chic Pay, but right now at this point I think it's not worth it.

So, that's my report for the day. The good, the bad and the awesome. Two more days until my final concluding report, and until then be sure to follow me on Twitter or join me in Clixsense. You won't regret it!

Day 27: Scam Alert!

Yes, I took a day off yesterday--largely because I had nothing new to report and also I had better and more productive ways to spend my time. But today's different: last night and earlier today I decided to investigate the site I was telling you about (Richgo PTR) that was hinting at a large paycheck very soon. I've been suspicious of it from the start, which is why I never overly encouraged any of you to sign up. The English was horrible, there were parts of the site that seemed less than professional, there weren't any forums to see what other people were saying, and I couldn't figure out how they could afford to pay $150 per click.

Be that as it may, I've been optimistic as ever and put a lot of effort into making the required amount of money to withdraw. Today I reached that amount and requested payment, but let's go back to my research itself. I looked up reviews of the site in several places. It's been listed as a scam on several different sites (never a good sign), though it is also a secure site--no viruses or x-rated content that will suddenly leap out at you.

What did people say themselves? Most people were asking whether or not it was a scam, and some people said it was. The best odds I could find were that they pay half their people. Some claim to know people who have gotten incomes, or that they got money themselves once or twice before suddenly being cut off (usually after being upgraded). There were some horror stories of people being told that they had to upgrade before they could take money out, and then after they upgraded they kept getting the same message. Fortunately, that didn't happen to me.

My payout request went very smoothly and simply. RichgoPTR did not ask me--or even suggest to me--that I upgrade, nor did they make the payout requesting process any more confusing or hassling than it needed to be. Just a few clicks and that was it! Now, the question is: will I get paid? According to the site, free members should get paid within thirty days if the member remains active in the site and "in good standing." I've heard that they push it out to four months (though so far they haven't done that) but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They did say that they would be in touch with me shortly, hopefully within the thirty days. If in a month they haven't contacted me or anything, I'll write them and see what's up.

Ten thousand dollars would be awesome, even if I didn't get it till fall. It seems that most of the people complaining about it being a scam are the people who paid $166 for an upgrade, so I'm hoping that that's the ploy--they take your money and run. Sure enough, I had been planning on buying an upgrade first thing if I got paid, but now I wouldn't dare.

My verdict? RichgoPTR is almost certainly a scam. At best, it's unreliable and unstable, and you can only hope that the instability works out in your favor. Don't invest a penny in it, and don't assume that the money you earn is anything more than numbers on a screen.

In the meantime, Clixsense still reigns as the absolute best PTC. I've gotten two checks from it already, and I highly recommend it to any of you who are thinking about generating an online income. But my search isn't over! I still have three days remaining in this study, after which I'll write down everything I've learned and every conclusion I've come to. Follow me on Twitter for more tips and updates, and beware of scams!
