Is promoting ClixSense worth it?

You bet it is! I have been a very big supporter of ClixSense since joining at the end of February 2007. After reaching the $10 minimum to request payout in only two weeks, it was a site I was definately impressed with. Needless to say, I upgraded my account using only a small portion of my earnings ($10) as soon as I got my first payout!

Many ClixSense members only see the earnings grow from their own personal clicks, but you can definately improve your results by promoting your referral links to others and upgrading after you receive your first payout. Use their money to upgrade after you get paid the first time so it won't cost you anything out of your own pocket. Use some of the free traffic sites I use (provided below) and it won't cost you anything to build your downline either.

Here are my overall affiliate stats since joining. I hope to show you the importance of building your downline so you can really benefit from this great "get paid" site:
http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/CSAP.jpg

In 2007, I promoted my link to the majority of my free traffic resources and, in just over 10 months, I had gotten 29 signups. Some of these members also upgraded their accounts & started referring others. If you'll notice, using free traffic sites I sent over 143,000 viewers to my site in 2007 and collected an extra $80.99 in affiliate income alone. While this may not seem like much, earning only 56 cents per 1000 viewers I sent to my page, you need to keep in mind that my downline has also been building their downline as they too follow my plan and use these free traffic resources. This is a snap of my 2007 affiliate earnings, which you need to remember was in addition to my personal click earnings: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/csap2007.jpg

By November 2007, ClixSense made some changes to their affiliate program and upgraded members then started earning on 5 levels of referrals. This was an important change that helps the upgrade fee pay off in a big way. This means not only are you earning from your direct downline, you're now earning from their referrals, and those that they referred for another 3 levels. It's amazing how quickly your downline can grow with such a fantastic affiliate program like ClixSense has. You'll notice that my affiliate earnings alone for November and December were enough to exceed the minimum to get paid. Every since then I've been receiving a monthly paycheck. (payout proofs below)

In the first 3 months of 2008 I continue to promote my referral link, but have changed my promotional tactics to free downline builders, my own webpages, blogs, forums pertaining to "get paid" sites, and a few select traffic exchanges and have another 7 signups. By being more selective in where I promote my link, I have increased my affiliate earnings to just over $5 per 1000 visitors I sent to my link. Take note of the 2008 stats to see that I've sent 18,000+ visitors to my page so far and have already earned over $90. Again, this is on top of my own personal click earnings! Take a look at my 2008 results for just 3 months to see how it helped produce better and better payouts every month this year: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/csap2008.jpg

ClixSense is an international paid to click (PTC) site and is free to join, so anyone can make money with this site. If you haven't joined yet, I encourage you to at least try it. See how long it takes you to reach the $10 minimum payout as a free member, although I encourage everyone to set their minimum to at least $20 because of the $3 check fee. If you can reach the minimum in a reasonable amount of time, use $10 of your first payout to upgrade. Your upgrade will last for one year and will often pay for itself many times over before having to renew your upgrade. When you upgrade, you will get one large batch of ads that will earn you back up to half of your upgrade fee right away and you'll be eligible for more ads each day for the rest of the year. In addition, you start earning from more of your downline for a total cost of $0.03 per day. (365/$10) If you use your first payout to upgrade, you won't have any out of pocket costs to start earning even more. If you're earning more than $0.03 per day as a free member, you will earn even more as an upgraded member. Start promoting your site as soon as you join so you can start building your downline.

Note: Payouts at ClixSense are done once a month, on the first business day of the month. As long as you've reached your selected minimum by the end of the previous month, your check will be issued at the beginning of the following month. There is a $3 fee for each check sent to you, but the cost is minimal when you get your check on time (every time) at the beginning of each (qualified) month. Check the link I've provided below to learn more about the check fee.
Now for the payout proof! These are the payouts I've received so far:

http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/clixsensepayout1.JPG *4/4/07 $22.78
http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/clixsensepayout2.JPG *5/2/07 $18.99

*******************************************Total paid in 2007 $131.21
http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/clixsensepayout7.JPG *1/2/08 $25.00
http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/clixsensepayout8.JPG *2/4/08 $20.87
http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/clixsensepayout9.JPG *3/3/08 $40.92
***Total paid in 2008 (so far) $86.79 + over $42 for next months check = $128.79+


There will be another check posted after the first week of April, you will be able to find it here as soon as I receive it. It'll be the best one so far by the looks of my current stats. http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/clixsensepayout10.JPG

If you can click the ads, watch 30 second "commercials" and promote your link, you can start earning monthly checks too. Since joining ClixSense just over a year ago, I have already received 9 checks totaling $218 and will be receiving another at the beginning of next month for over $42. (current stats: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/CSstatscurrent.jpg )

Remember that I mentioned your upgrade will often pay for itself many times over before having to renew your upgrade? With this 10th payout, my total payouts for 13 months of active participation will exceed $260 and I used THEIR money to upgrade, AFTER they paid me!! That's $250 in profit and I'm still upgraded til the middle of next month. ClixSense really is worth promoting and upgrading! Don't forget that I used free traffic resources to bring visitors to my page and grow my downline too. To help you succeed, I'm providing links to the free resources I'm using. I hope you'll use them to start earning your monthly paychecks for free too.

If you'd like to join my team, visit ClixSense: http://www.clixsense.com/?2074164 and see if this works for you too. If you follow my plan and decide upgrading is right for you, you could make alot of money with this site using only $10 of the money they pay you for watching 30 second "commercials". If your results show that upgrading is not right for you, no problem, keep the money you've earned and spend it on whatever you want, but at least try it. Only 20 of the members I've referred are still active, but the plan seems to be working for them and I hope it will for you too. ( http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/ClixSenseRefs.jpg )

It's been a good month so far

March has been a good month for me in my efforts to make a little extra money from free "get paid" sites. I've already received payouts from several sites, and added the newest payout proofs to my ptc earnings page for those of you that enjoy seeing the actual payouts.


ClixSense $40.95 check
AdverCash $12.28 check
NetWinner $25.00 new ecount MasterCard
EnchantedHits $10.00 paypal
Fishing4Mails $0.37 paypal
DonkeyMails $1.30 paypal
ClixNCash $1.02 paypal
APairOf $1.01 paypal


So far, that's $91.93 in payments received this month and there's still another week to go.

As of today, I have requested two more payouts which I will add to my pending payouts list. I reached enough to request payout at Bux3 with the help of 2 referrals and Buxa.In without any help. With any luck, I'll be adding XClix to the list in the next few days as I'm very close to their low $5 minimum. As I continue to work thru my list of sites each day, it's very rewarding to watch as this list continues to grow too. Once you have enough to request payout, it can be a matter of waiting for the site to audit your account and THAT can take quite some time depending on the site.


Site Date Amount Method Status
Bux3 21 Mar 2008 08:55 10.19 - Payment Audit
BuxTo 02 Dec 2007 08:29 PM $ 10 - Pending Audit
Buxa.In 21 Mar 2008 06:22 5.0550 - Pending Audit
ClickBux Early March? $6.99 - Pending Audit
DailyClicks 05 Feb 2008 11:17 33.08 - Pending Audit
SendMoreInfo Mar. 03, 2008 $10.07 Processing

While I was very pleased to get my new ecount card from NetWinner, it was unfortunately two months late (per their terms). Part of this was because I requested the payout before they even had the cards, so I waited patiently and it has finally paid off. Now that I have mine, the remaining 4 payouts I've accumulated will be paid in $25 increments over the next four months, so it should be back to regular monthly payments again. I'm glad I continued playing free games there as NetWinner had a very good payment history for me when I was redeeming for Walmart giftcards. I hope the trend continues as they continue the process of switching to a new payment processor. This payout makes a total of $300 out of $400 paid.

I had also anticipated adding Bux.To and DailyClicks to the list of payouts received but both seem to be experiencing delays. According to the Bux.To forum, Bux.To has hired additional staff to get caught up on payouts, so with any luck, this might still happen in March. The pending payout is only for $10 but I really look forward to requesting the next one, lol. With the help of 10 referrals, I've already earned another $44.74 but it'll take 90+ calendar days for that one to process, once I am able to make the request.

No way to find out about DailyClicks as they seem to have moved their forum & chatroom links to point to their new site. As an upgraded member there, the terms state 30 business days to process payouts, so I hope this audit is finished in the next few days too. They only allow one payout request at a time too, so once this payout is complete, I'll be starting the clock on a new payout of over $32 and counting.

ClixSense has continued to be a strong earner for me and I noticed I've averaged about $2 a day this month even though I haven't spent as much time clicking ads. This tells me I have a very happy downline. They have to be upgrading and buying ads because that's the only way I earn from the members I've referred. I've really been amazed with the affiliate earnings from this site and consider the $10 I spent to upgrade well worth the cost! I was checking my stats recently ( http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/CSAP.jpg ) and noticed that in less than 3 months I have already earned more than I did for most of 2007 and only 19 of my 35 referrals are still active. And that's what I earned on top of clicking ads! With another week plus in March, I can already see ClixSense sending me my biggest check yet.




Whether the payouts come this month or next, March has already surpassed my previous average of $50 a month in payouts, so I'm pretty happy. I've already earned enough at ClixSense to get another good check from them next month, so if any of these payouts come thru next month, it'll make for an even better April.
It just goes to show you... Those pennies really DO add up! :)

AdverCash Paid Me today


I got a check from AdverCash today. It's one of the paid to click sites in my make money collection. It's taken some time to reach the minimum with this site but I was happy to see the paycheck arrive so quickly once I did. According to my records, I joined the site 7/15/07 but didn't want to promote it much until I had an idea of how the site worked and how quickly you could reach the $12.50 minimum. When I joined a free downline builder that supported AdverCash, I added my link but mainly only promotioned it thru the downline builder. I was pleasantly surprised to get 4 semi active referrals who helped me reach it a little quicker than I could have alone. (Current Stats: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/AdverCash.jpg )


This site is to be commended for working thru the problems so many PTC sites went thru with PayPal. They've stayed in business, offering alternative payout options and they are paying their members.


It's so easy anyone at any age could do it!All you do is sign up, click ads, and get paid! You can be paid by check, or by using an AlertPay transaction.Either payment option works just as well as the other, and you're guaranteed to get the cash! If you want to join me, please go to: http://www.advercash.net/signup.php?ref=paidreader


I opted for the check payout when I reached the minimum at the end of last month. Here's a copy of the check they mailed to me on the 6th. I know how everyone loves seeing the payout proofs.

TakeTheInternetBack (TIB)

I've been with TakeTheInternetBack (TIB) for over a year now (12/31/06). So far, it's been an easy paid to read site and they have a wonderful download section, not to mention a $10 signup bonus. I would like to compare statistics with other members to see if location affects your ability to earn as it does with many other "get paid to" sites. At this point, I am considered a full member with a share of ownership as I now have the two required active referrals. Have any of you reached the two referral minimum yet?

I've just checked my stats and when I saw the earnings have been updated again, I decided this might be a good time to do a comparison. By my calculations it looks like the emails (or points) are earning approximately $0.006 each which is pretty good considering many sites are only paying $0.001. The average would be much higher if I divided my total earnings by my total earnings, but I wanted to take the $10 signup bonus out of the equation for better accuracy. As you can see by the screen capture pic I've attached, my current earnings as of 3/8/08, are up to $18.88 and I've clicked 1468 emails in the 15 months since joining. Are your earnings with TIB comparable? Please give me at least your basic stats and your location so I can see if it makes a difference.

My Current Stats:http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/TIB.jpg

Please submit your TIB stats for comparison at the following site: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1258918.aspx

A Good International paid to read site

I was asked for a recommendation for a good international PTR that actually pays and doesn't cost anything to join......

and they also wanted to know: How important is it to get referrals for ptr/ptc sites?

Because so many of my international friends have been asking me pretty much the same thing, I wanted to share my response with you, in case you were also curious about this subject.

This was my Response:
I find that having referrals for my various paid to programs can be very helpful. I looked through my programs for an international one to show you how getting referrals can really help when they're active. The one I found to best illustrate my point is e-mailpaysu. I will tell you first, that it does take time to build up to the various minimums for some programs. Having referrals can definately make it easier to reach them a little faster. I spent the first 3 years reading emails there with only 3 referrals before deciding it would be worth it to upgrade. This was one of the first sites that I bought the lifetime gold upgrade for, when another of my paid to sites paid me, and I have to say it was worth EVERY dime of the $15 (now $18) I paid for it! Even though I'm promoting it on my various free traffic exchanges now, it's nice to have them still giving me free referrals from their advertising too.

Now For the Example:
In E-mailpaysu, I signed up July 15 2001, the last stats I had before reaching my first minimum payout in mid 2006 consisted of :

$11.19 from the paid to click the penny page
$8.23 in converted points (with 3121 pending)
$23.41 in paid emails
$10.00 signup bonus

My balance $52.83 (at the time) was helped greatly by my downline earnings. Looking at the paid to read emails, I only read 76 emails for $1.52 in about 5 years as the 2c emails are rare. However, I receive 1c for each email read by 2 levels of referrals. The rest of the paid email amount came from my 2 levels of referrals. My 1st level (direct refs) read 174 emails for $1.74. My second level (my refs refs) read 2015 emails for $20.15!

***I currently have 62 direct refs & 311 second level refs and earn 1 cent for each email read by all 373! (Current referral stats: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/EMPUrefs.jpg )

***My total earnings with this site has now exceeded $148.11 with $107.77 in actual payouts.
(Most recent payout proof: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/e-mailpaysu.jpg )

This is my most recent stats screen to show you how the earnings have accumulated since my last payout request: (Current earnings: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/empuStats.jpg )

This is not a get rich overnight site, by any means. Like I said, it takes time to build up, but I was only doing this site when I had some spare time after work or on the weekends. Quite often I would forget to do anything except the paid emails when I got them in my mailbox. This is a site that lets you earn in a variety of ways so you can probably reach payout a lot faster than I did, but it wasn't until after I received my first check, then a paypal deposit that I felt comfortable in sharing it as a site that really does pay. I have to admit to being a much more active member there now too. I would definately recommend this site to everyone even as a free member because this one is definately worth waiting for because they DO PAY!

I would also like to pass along something else that's important to know. There isn't a "request payout" button there like with some of the newer paid to read sites. When you're ready to cashout (after reaching the minimum) just send an email request to Gerald Peters the wm. At that point he will usually ask you for your choice of payment option. I have received both a check and a paypal deposit. It is also important to note that the first payout is at $50 for free members but the payouts after that are lowered to $15. The paid with points minimum is only $10 and you can redeem your ads for cash balance for your own ads, starting at just $2.00.

$10Paychecks

If you want to make some extra cash while you're online, please take a look at my site $10 Paychecks. These sites pay you when you've earned $10. If you have a computer and an email address, you can get paid. Easy Tasks, Low Payouts, Free to join!

Http://beam.to/$10paychecks

My experience with DailyClicks

I joined a site called DailyClicks on December 11, 2007. It is an internationally friendly paid to click site offering one to two cents per ad you visited for 30 seconds, so it fit in well with my collection of "get paid" sites. Having a low $10 payout didn't hurt either as it fit in well with my newest collection of "$10Paychecks" sites. Since joining, this site has offered at least 20-40 ads per day and the ads are mainly available all at once, unlike other sites that require checking back numerous times thru the day and in my opinion, it has quickly become one of the best PTC sites in my collection.

I saw this as a good site to promote and using some of my free traffic resources, I quickly had half a dozen signups. I also added my signup link to the free downline builders I use to get referrals for my PTC sites and got a few more signups. As I watched the earnings grow from my downlines activity, I quickly realised that this was going to be one of those sites that upgrading might be wise. Afterall, I had seen other sites like E-MailPaysU and ClixSense that offered a very low upgrade cost with great long term benefits. With these successes in mind, I paid $10 for the lifetime upgrade prior to the cost going up to $21.95. For the cost of the upgrade fee, all my ads are now worth 2 cents each and I'm now earning one cent per referral click instead of only $0.005 as well as a reduced payout time.

After having some database problems and having their paypal account frozen because they are a paid to click site, I was relieved to have everything worked out by the great staff at DailyClicks. By February 5th, less than 2 months after joining, I was able to request my first payout: http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/DailyClicksHistory.jpg for $33.08. Here's a pic of the stats page just before I requested payout http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/DailyClicksPending.jpg. With all the problems the site was having, I was amazed with the earnings.

According to the DailyClicks TOS, the site pays within 30 business days for upgraded members and 60 business days for free members. As many know, business days are usually considered as Monday thru Friday, excluding holidays, so 30 days can be more like 45 days, so I hope to receive my first payout via AlertPay within the next week or so.

As I continue to stay active on this site daily, I notice my downline has already outclicked me in total ads viewed as you can see in the most recent stats:



In just over a month after requesting my first payout, my balance has already increased enough to request another payout once they clear my pending transaction. It's results like this that make you glad you decided to participate and invest in an upgrade. The site will let you redeem your earnings for the upgrade, so if you decide to try it & then consider upgrading, it CAN be done with no out of pocket expense to you.If you're interested in adding DailyClicks to your paid to click portfolio, as either a free or upgraded member, check it out at: http://www.dailyclicks.biz/?r=paidreader

ClixSense Really Pays

ClixSense is one of the best paid to click sites in my collection of free "get paid" sites. I don't say this lightly either. I've been a member for just over one year and have already been paid over $200 since joining. If you're interested in making some extra money without any out of pocket costs, let me show you how I did it.

Join ClixSense here: http://www.clixsense.com/?2074164

Update your profile to select as many interests as possible as you can only change this once every 90 days.

Change your payout minimum to $20. This will reduce the fees when you get your first check.

Use the money you get to pay $10 for the one year upgrade. If you have been earning at least 3 cents a day as a free member, you'll be getting more ads as an upgraded member so you'll easily recover the 3 cents each day the upgrade will cost you over 365 days.

Actively click your ads a few times each day and see how long it takes you to reach the minimum to request payout. If it's a fairly short time, you'll definately earn more as an upgraded member. Use your earnings as a guage to determine if upgrading is right for you. If not, keep the money and continue earning as a free member if you like the site.

Unlike many paid to click sites, you don't have to wait long to receive your payouts. If you reach your selected minimum by the end of the month, a check is sent to you the first business day of the following month. In the year that I've been a member, I have received 9 checks, and they came in on time, every time. If you're looking for dependable, ClixSense should be your next stop.

Not convinced yet? Need to see the proof? Here's copies of the checks I've received so far:
