PTC | PAID TO CLICK | BEST PTC | NEOBUX | BEST PAID TO CLICK GOING!

I have done some exhausting research on Pay To Click programs. First of all, if you've never heard of this, here is a brief explanation.

Websites are created known as pay to click websites. Advertisers pay you to click on their ads and view them for a set amount of time, i.e. 30 - 45 seconds, and they pay you for doing so. Don't get too excited. The payment is only from a 1/4 of a penny to 2 cents per click. Membership to these websites are FREE and it is very easy and fun for anyone to participate and make a little money.

Now to the research.....WOW AT THE AMOUNT OF SCAMMING PAID TO CLICK SITES OUT THERE!!!! IS THERE NO SHAME????? What is happening is these sites are popping up everywhere making huge promises. They get people like us excited and we join. Once we join they say "hey, for a little bit more money you too can be making more money." The greed of these sites only escalates from there. In one months time and sometimes they stay open longer, they have taken huge amounts of money from people, shut down, and they are gone! There is a lot of risk when searching for a legitimate PTC site.

As I told you in the beginning, my search has been quite a lengthy one. I think I've read everything there is to read on the web about PTC sites and the info on each one of them. (SEE ME STILL IN SHOCK OVER ALL THE SCAM SITES) For me, only one has stood out among them all. There are a couple of others that are good possibilities as well but for now let me mention Neobux.

Anytime I Googled for the best PTC site the results were always Neobux. Anytime I viewed polls requesting input on the best PTC sites it was always Neobux. When I requested info from top PTC folks, their answer was always Neobux.

Hopefully you got the picture earlier that this is NOT a get rich quick kinda thing. In fact, if you depend on just your clicks on advertisements everyday, you're probably looking at $1.00 a day. Pretty disappointing isn't it?

Here is the thing...you need someone to guide you through this. You need to know that to make some decent money, you are going to have to invest a little bit. Now you can invest a lot a bit (is that correct language?) and make even more money. Let's face it though, we're living in some rough times and money is tight.

So, to see some real money trickle in you are going to have to get referrals. What are referrals? A referral is someone who works for you. Sounds good? Keep on reading: A referral gets what every other user gets when they click ads: Money!
But, if a user that clicks ads is your referral, you get money too!

There are two types of referral and three ways of getting them:

Direct referral:
This user registered using your username as their referrer.

Rented referral:
You rented them.

So, how do you get referrals?
Here are the three ways you can do that:

Use Neobux banners:
Show banners online with a link to NeoBux with your username on that link (you can find the banners with the links in your account).
When the visitor clicks that banner,(hopefully you'll be clicking mine that is on this page!)and registers they become your direct referral. Neobux takes care of the rest for you.

Talk:
Just tell everyone to register at NeoBux and to type your username on the referrer field when they do so.

Rent:
You can rent referrals to work for you (this is not slavery... they win too).
Just go to your account to do so.
The quantity of referrals available will vary depending on how much users registered without a referrer. Neobux knows you don't want deadbeat no clickers so you'll only get referrals that have clicked at least 10 advertisements in the past 5 days.

Recycle your referrals:
You can recycle each referral any time you want to.
Is your referral inactive or just clicks a few advertisements per day?
No problem! For just $0.08 you can replace him with a new active referral.

Click on my banner for more information or to just check out the Neobux site. Feel free to comment with any questions you may have.

Bookmark me as I'll be following up with how this site is performing for me, earnings postings, etc.

If you join, I'd love to keep in touch and know how you are doing as well!

As mentioned earlier there was one more I am going to look into and I'll post back on that one as well.

  • Simple Tips to Promote Your Newsletter

    By: Lara Velez

    Promoting your newsletter can seem like a daunting task. However, you can be successful if you are willing to do the work. Here are some things that I have learned along the way. I am sure that they will help get you started in the right direction...

    MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO YOUR VISITORS: Place a sign up form on the top of EVERY page of your site and/or forums. By doing this, you are making your newsletter available to every visitor of your site. It is also good for those visitors that may want to sign up, but are busy reading content, and missed the form on another page.

    MESSAGE BOARDS: Use your signature to promote! Message board sigs are a fantastic promotional tool. It's like free advertising. Every time you post, there are countless opportunities for your sig line to be read.

    BLOGS: Place a link on your blog. There are many potential subscribers out there that love to Blog. They exclusively search blogs for information.
    Make the most of your Blog, and use it to promote your business, products, and NEWSLETTER!

    Another great way to use a blog to promote your newsletter is to make comments on blogs like wordpress. The key is NOT to spam. You simply find blogs that you like to read and that will reach the type of readers you want. Then when given the option in the comments to put your "url" direct it to your newsletter sign up page!

    ONE of a KIND: There are thousands of newsletters out there in your niche.
    Make yours different. If you are a carbon copy of everyone else, why would people want to read yours? Be unique...originality goes a long way!

    WORD of MOUTH: Once you have mastered the art of originality, your subscribers will tell their friends what a great newsletter you have. You can also have top monthly referral prizes, and newsletter promotional contests to get that word of mouth going.

    FUN FACTOR: Have contests for subscribers. People love to win stuff. Be creative and keep your newsletter fun, informative, and easy to read. Ask your advertisers if they would sponsor a contest. You both win. They get free advertising and you get a great prize for your contest. This is another way to generate those "word of mouth" subscribers.

    You can even have a "Refer a Friend" contest. The person who refers the most new subscribers wins a prize.

    SWAP LINKS: Trade links with other relevant newsletters. Try to find newsletters that have the same type of readers, but are different enough topic wise for them to want to read both. Plus, it's a great way for WAHM's to support one another!

    DIRECTORIES: There are MANY directories out there, including newsletter and ezine directories. Do a search. Ask around. The point is, get your newsletter listed in as many as you can.

    I'm sure that you will see a steady increase in subscribers if you put these simple tips into practice!

    Happy Newsletter Promoting!!

    Start A Home Internet Business

    By Bob Cortez

    The most frequently asked question I receive as an Internet home business consultant usually goes something like this; "I would really like to start my own home business on the Internet, but I don't know what." The short answer is - Start with what you know and enjoy.

    There are a number of good reasons for this:

    By drawing on existing knowledge, you can concentrate on building a business rather than learning about a new trade, product, or service.

    Starting and running a home business means long hours and sacrifice. It is easier to do when you are doing something you enjoy.

    Selling what you know and enjoy is less difficult for non-salespeople. Selling what you know and enjoy is less difficult for non-salespeople.

    The Internet offers unique opportunities for the home business netrepreneur. It creates the ability to reach a much larger potential market for your product, service, or information at a much lower price than through conventional advertising mediums.

    The Internet and World Wide Web are still in their infancy. Right now, you can get everything you need to put your business online - free. It is like someone offering you a store (web hosting), full time staff (web pages, auto responders) and advertising (lots of advertising) for free. All you have to do is come up with an idea for a product or service to put in the store.

    One of my favorite examples is my mother's home business. She builds very creative and unique birdhouses. She uses scrap lumber from a local sawmill (free) and driftwood from the local beach (free), to keep her material costs low. Another local artist provides the miniature sculptures for a percentage of the sales. She started by building and selling these for the local tourist trade in Homer Alaska, and was doing ok. But when we put them on the Internet (http://www.ptialaska.net/~cortez/) sales really began to soar. Not everyone that would be interested in the birdhouses can afford to visit Homer, and we certainly couldn't afford to advertise to the world in any other way. We were able to reach this larger market by using free web hosting, design, and promotion services. Once we developed a flow of traffic, we were able to create additional income streams by selling other peoples products as well. (I'll discuss this further later in this article)

    This business model can work for just about any product that can be shipped. What unique item can you build using local materials? Do you have a craft or gift idea that is unique? How about a kit or plans for something you have built?

    Information is another type of product. What do you know or know how to do that would be of interest or value to others? You can either sell that information as a report, or a tip booklet. Or you can give the information away at your store and sell other peoples related products for a commission. The advantage here is that once you put your information in the store it is done. You don't have to keep building it and shipping it. If your not comfortable with writing your own material you can use a ghostwriter (http://www.home-work.net) or have a tips booklet prepared with assistance in getting it published (http://www.realvoices.com/booklets).

    Another home business opportunity that is unique to the Internet is based on common interests. What do you have a special interest in that others may share? Music, books, computers, cars, gardening, collectibles, etc…? The idea in this business model is to create a site with information and resources available online of interest to others. Then you select products to sell of interest to people that would be visiting your site. For instance, if you had an avid interest in a particular type of music. You could develop a site that was a resource for others with that same interest. The site could include links to artists sites, reviews of the latest releases, concert tour information, photos, sound clips, interview excerpts, a chat room, or discussion board. You become an "associate" of one of the CD distributors online and receive a commission on CD's that are sold. The distributor does the entire order fulfillment. The number and variety of companies that have an associate program online is growing daily. They cover all kinds of products and services from gifts to computers or web hosting to credit cards. For a partial list of these types of programs, send any email to start@athome.hypermart.net

    Start with what you know, apply some imagination, and open your low cost home business online. The market is growing everyday - world wide.

    Successful Home Business

    By Julie Frost

    "The most powerful weapon on Earth is the human soul on fire." -- Ferdinand Foch

    Is your soul on fire when it comes to what you do to earn a living? For most, the answer is no. But if you're looking to start a home-based business, you should start looking at options that get you fired up. Anything else would be a manipulation of your life -- and your life's calling.

    If you're living a life that is anything less than filled with excitement, fulfillment, and your "soul on fire" then you're living a life that is not true to the most important person in the world -- you. You're living a life that is in the best interest of someone other than you.

    Many people do this, especially when it comes to their work. They feel as though they MUST do this job or start that business, because it's in the best interest of someone else (their spouse, their kids, their parents, etc.) What they don't realize is that, by making choices in that fashion, they are not only cheating themselves of a more fulfilling life, but they are also cheating those people whose best interest they have in mind. Because, when you’re not living your best possible life, you cannot share the best parts of yourself with those you care about.

    In order to live your destiny, if you will, you must choose a home-based business that sets your soul on fire. It's one that is not only good for you, but it's one that is good for those you care about (particularly because it‘s so good for you), as well as those it serves.

    The hard part is, it's not always clear what that "thing" is. That thing that you will turn into your business. It should either come from a passion you have, or stir a passion within you. When you discover it, you'll know.

    You have so many choices when it comes to starting your own business. You can create your business "from scratch" or you can join a reputable "business opportunity." Each can be equally good, the point is, however your business begins, to last it must create a fire in your belly.

    When you lay in bed at night, your mind buzzing with ideas . . . When you can't wait to wake up and get started on your day . . . When you find that niche that puts your life and your life in balance, you've found it.

    Motivated Moms - Making Staying At Home and Keeping Your House Organized A Little Easier

    I have found a wonderful inexpensive way to keep myself sane while staying at home and working from home. It is called Motivated Moms. This unique and straightforward chore planning system is for moms who are trying to balance creative endeavors with their desire to have an orderly and organized environment in their homes. Really anyone can use this valuable tool. As friends who met online, Deann Polanco and Janet Russell collaborated for several years on the Motivated Moms chore planning system. Beginning in 2005, Janet wanted more time to spend on other interests and Deann took over the business. Initially offered in traditional ‘book’ format, it is now a printable chore list in e-book format for readers to download and print.

    The system is designed to help you complete chores and tasks throughout the year so that you don’t spend your entire day doing housework. To help you organize your priorities, the printable chore lists has the daily necessities listed as chores, and the less frequent duties listed as tasks. If, while pursuing other goals, you miss the tasks scheduled for a particular day, you don’t have to ‘transfer’ those tasks to the next day. Just remain focused on completing daily chores and do the weekly scheduled tasks as they fit into your schedule and family lifestyle. The tasks you miss will come up again on another day.

    Above all, the Motivated Moms Chore Planning System is NOT intended as a guilt planner! Motivated Moms is all about reducing stress, not adding to it, and making home management easier.

    The Motivated Moms Chore Planning System comes in six versions, the full-sized with Bible readings scheduled (a schedule to read the Bible through in a year), the full-sized without the Bible schedule, a half-sized version with and without scheduled Bible readings and a "page per day" version with and without the Bible schedule that has one day of chores per day and also has lines for appointments and a box for the daily menu plan and a place for notes. Any of the six would be a great tool in order to be able to get everything done each day.

    A wise woman once told me..."If you keep doing what you are doing...you are going to keep getting what you are getting."

    The most important thing that I did was to make a decision to "do something."

    Business Opportunities - Candy Wrappers Checklist – 7 Steps to Follow When Starting Your Own Home Based Business



    Custom wrapped candy bars are widely used in recent times to celebrate special events such as weddings, birthdays, birth announcements, school events, etc. If you are thinking of starting your own home venture, then this profession would be ideal for you! Candy wrapping involves covering candy bars with designed over wraps created by you.



    In addition to the satisfaction of owning your own business, you get to take part in creating a wonderful product and a treasured memento for your clients.



    The following steps would help you to start off on your new venture with ease.



    1. Creation of the Business Plan



    Before moving on to any of the following steps ensure that you have a solid business plan for your venture. Creation of a business plan is essential no matter how small your business maybe. It would enable you to focus and manage your business effectively.



    In this you should also define the service/s which you are offering your clients. Whether it be only the creation of the over wraps or would include the wrapping of the product as well.



    2. Verifying the Correct Equipment & Supplies




    When considering the equipment, a computer and a color printer are the basic requirements. If you need to incorporate pictures, sent by your clients or taken by you into your designs, a scanner and a digital camera would be useful.



    It is important to select the correct quality paper for printing. The weight of the paper should be specially considered, since heavier paper would be harder to wrap with.



    A paper cutter and glue sticks or double sided tape, are the final supplies required to wrap up your product.



    3. Selecting the Designing Software



    To design the layouts of the candy covers you can either use a basic program such as Microsoft Word or other advanced programs such as Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Photoshop, etc. The selection of the designing software solely depends on your ability to use these programs.



    4. Purchase of Candy Bars




    When purchasing candy bars it is better to buy in bulk as this would reduce your costs. But the purchasing should take place only when an order is received since it is not an item which you can keep in storage.



    5. Fixing the Correct Price




    Putting the correct price to your service is vital. You should never over price or sell your services short. Always consider all the expenses involved with your venture when fixing the price. It is also better to find out the competitive rates in the market.



    6. Packaging and Shipping Your Product




    Extra care should be taken when packing and shipping the product. Since candy bars can easily melt or be damaged, bubble wrapping the product and ensuring the correct temperature is maintained during shipping, is very important.



    7. Forming the Marketing Strategy



    Marketing your service is another vital step in this profession as this would ensure that you obtain a good clientele. The best marketing tool would be your own product. In addition to this you can utilize a website, business cards, advertisements, etc, to spread the word about the service which you offer.
