I received my first payout 2 years ago

Today I reminded of trying to know the date of the first payment I received from a PT (Paid To) site.

I went to PayPal and searched on my account activity list in 2006 (when it started to click in this type of sites) and was then that I found that I received my first payout on September 11th, 2006, from an PTR called Team1Players that used to send 12 to 15 daily paid emails, almost all of 1.25 cents, and paid once a month to all members that had accumulated ate least $0.01 and INSTANTANEOUSLY!

I remember that at the time was a pair of AGroupEffort (from the same admin) the best PTR, and almost without referrals I could easily earn more than $20 per month!

Unfortunately the sites had to be closed because it used and violated the rules of Parked Domains, but if you are curious to know how such sites operated sign-up on PTRcommunity that works with the same system.

You can see a print from my first payout by clicking on the thumbnail on the right of this post.

By the way I would like to know the date of your first payout, was it before mine?

IsabelMarco is a disappointment and about the bot referrals sold on Crewbux

I'm getting very frustrated with IsabelMarco's that every day seems to lose that quality achieved from beginning that we used to recognize .

When I talk about quality I include delays in payments, the constant pursuit of free members (who do not invest in the site), the site increasingly slow and heavy on self advertising, among other important aspects that characterize a good PTC.

One of the last steps of the site administrators was to increase the waiting time to receive the payments, free members now have to wait up to 50 days, which will not be good measure to the site when we know that other sites are paying instantaneously.

And now we are waiting to know what IM administrators are planing to do when they say that "measures will be taken against the large number of members free", maybe will be the final reason that will lead me to permanently quit the site.

Meanwhile rumours that the referrals sold on IsabelMarco's include bots are increasing, which will help in the deterioration of confidence in the site, and may explain the constant problem in the updating of our daily statistics.

At least they didn't admitted that fact, unlike another site that I was testing, called Crewbux, where administrators recently had the audacity to confirm that a great percentage of referrals sold are bots, planned to click a limited amount of ads automatic.

After an announcement like this I decided to forget this PTC and stop investing time testing it and that is why my readers never read anything written about Crewbux on BuxMaking.com.

2nd payout from Buxout and about 2nd version of this PTC

Total earned with this site: $ 13.18

The quality of this site is huge, and the confidence of members has increased, following the good wave I decided it was time to upgrade my account getting advantage on the temporary low price of $59 for one year, since then I now have 13 daily ads to click, each one worth $0.0125 and for each ad my referrals click I also earn $0.0125!

Unfortunately this temporary price ended, and now people that want to buy the upgrade has to do it for $85, but still consider and recommend as good investment.

But the best is yet to come, and Kareem, site administrator, launched today the news that the Buxout V2 is about to start and will have the following characteristics:

• Impressive new design;
• PayPal instant payments (for all kinds of PayPal accounts;
• PayPal purchases for verified people (only to avoid some issues);
• New tools to monitor your click statistics;
• and many more things...

We are also aware that with the new version will happen a total reset of our referrals clicks till that time but it is obvious that this value will not be discounted from our earnings, it is only a security measure to avoid problems during the change.

Prepare yourself to start earning more easy money with Buxout V2!!

Foobri.com is SCAM don't sign-up

Today I received a very strange email from IsabelMarco that end up directly at my SPAM box in my Gmail account.

But more strange was the content that I will show here so you can understand the point:

Do you want to make even more dosh from PTC? Check out this fantastic new site which has even lower referal purchase rates and plenty of adverts to keep you making dosh effortlessly http://www.foobri.com This site has been checked out by myself and is now one of our premium partners, which means you can make even more dosh by using foobri.com, so what are you waiting for, check it out now! This is not spam, you have received this email because you opted in to receive emails when signing up to our site. You may remove you address at isabelmarco.com by logging i.

Of course I was curious and tried to find out if there were any real point of truth in this email and discovered another announcement, this time from the IsabelMarco administration, denying everything,  the Foobri.com is not in any way connected to the administrators of IsabelMarco.

What happened was that someone managed to get the email address of IsabelMarco and used it to pass this advertising message, which warns us and denounces that this is a SCAM site, which is also perceived after reading the high value on clicks and the low values on the upgrade that are promised.

If you committed the mistake of believing and created an account, my advice is to extinguish it and be careful with the password used if it is equal to other sites where you are registered, there is an high risk of seeing your accounts stolen.

This site will be added to my List of SCAM Sites.

Types of members of the PTC sites

One of these days I was reading my latest entries in my favourite FEED reader, Google Reader, when I found an interesting post in Eurito.net belonging to the Jotix (admin of Zubux), where he tries to define the type of members who are in the PTC business.

Giving due credit to the author, found it interesting to share the text with my readers, and launch the challenge in that I ask you to discover what type of member I identify (answer in comments).

Beggar: The poorest members of PTC. Tired of clicking in many PTC. Usually he have a huge list of sites in favourites, frequents many forums and spend the days clicking on all of its PTC list, looking forward to win some. Can sign up by other members who promise to pay x at x clicks. Doesn't pay attention to ads content and have many tabs opened with the countdown running. Investing is out of question. Doesn't earn much because takes a long time to reach payout and get scammed by some sites.

Opportunist: Creates currents on certain PTCs using some kind of incentive for other members to register. As their followers know he pays, can obtain a significant number of referrals in this way. Usually does not invest in PTC. Can easily reach the payout which is due to incentives and members he get. Can earn $50 or more per month. Can click punctually in PTC. Does not see the PTC as something to invest, but as something to receive.

Adventurer: The sponsor of PTC. Not as common as the other two members, but the adventurer is one that advertises a PTC site in other PTC sites or even on is website or blog. Normally can start as beggar or opportunistic, but when realizes that some PTC pays decides to invest in an indirect way publicizing this particular PTC and gaining referrals. Can choose to buy an upgrade or referred.

Investor:  The member that makes PTC work.It because of this member that PTCs get money to pay the other 3 members, otherwise it would probably be impossible. He risk is money to be able to profit from it. Typically tends to invest in PTC with more fame, and those who give higher returns. Tries to diversify is investment and is not limited to only 1 or 2 PTC. Recognizes that investing in PTC involves risk of losing everything. It is cautious and tries to read blogs, Websites and be updated by reading forums of the sites or others specialized in PTC's.

Do you already recognized the type of member I am? And you, what is your type?

11th payout from Neobux

Total earned with this site: $ 574.77

Gains of Neobux members are growing, and now with the restructuring of the term 3.7 explained by me in this post, we have the possibility to win the total of our referrals clicks!

Of course for that we too have to be active members and click all daily ads, but did you liked to have referrals that, for having many referrals themselves, stop clicking and making you earn the percentage?

Today was also announced that the admin is replacing all charts with new ones less heavy to the servers.

Finally repair the proof of payment I present (click the image to enlarge) and see how beautiful is AlertPay with the new design relished today!

1st instant pament from Buxout

Total earned with this site: $ 5.27

As promised by the site here is my first instant payment of Buxout that lasted less than 2 seconds since I made the request until I receive in my AlertPay!

The PTC business has been showing signs of great progress, and as time passes the sites with long delays in processing payments begin to fall behind in relation to those that pays instantly.

It is at these sites (Buxout and Neobux) we should invest more time and money if we want to earn easy money on the Internet.

Know the major changes in Neobux and Buxout

As I do not have Internet at home yet (but I know I'll have it installed before October) is difficult for me to make the updates you'd like for sites that I follow, but could not let the recent changes in Neobux and Buxout pass without posting here to my readers because they are many and important! !

Neobux is what further changes will suffer, all respecting the requests of thousands of members who write daily in the forum site.

TOS 3.7:

This is the change that deserves more attention and we all expected, the TOS 3.7 will be reformulated and to this:

1. If we click in all ads fixed daily (4 for standard members, 9 for Golden members) we win all clicks our referrals do;
   
2. If we do not click all daily fixed ads we only earn the same amount of clicks for each referral (we click on 2 and we only receive up to 2 of each referral, even if they click more).
   

This way the lazy members continued to be affected and who really wants to make money also has to click.

Recycling:

This feature is being very exploited by the members that lately recycle profitable referrals but that may have an average of little clicks, putting on "unemployment" many referrals that could be useful to others.
To minimize this situation the current price of recycling will be increased from $0.05 to $0.10.

New Monthly Rental prices:

To relieve the difficult that new members have on renting referrals, the monthly rental prices paid by each referral have been updated, prices are still determined by the type of membership and now will also be determined by the amount of rented referrals the user has.
Although not a big increase in price, it will help new users to rent.

New Price List:

• From 0 to 250 referrals: Current Price
• From 251 to 500 referrals: current price plus $ 0.01
• From 501 to 750 referrals: current price plus $ 0.02
• From 751 to 1000 referrals: current price plus $ 0.03
• From 1001 to 1250 referrals: current price plus $ 0.04
• From 1251 to 1500 referrals: current price plus $ 0.05
• From 1501 to 1750 referrals: Current price plus $ 0.06
• After 1751 referrals (inclusive): Current Price plus $ 0.07
  

Referrals renting:

The possibility to choose the time to rent referrals to our taste is still not enough to help the more inexperienced members, that's why were made the following changes:

• There will be 3 "special" days of the week;
• Day 1: Only users without referrals can try to rent this day.
• Day 2: Only users with less than 201 referrals may try to rent this day.
• Day 3: Only users with less than 501 referrals may try to rent this day.
• The rest of the week: All the people (including the mentioned above) can try to rent referrals
  

With these changes we will win many more active referrals therefore profitable, but has not yet been implemented.

Regarding Buxout we have changes in level of earnings with our referrals, the percentage was reduced to half to maintain the sustainability of the site and its long life.
This decision is also justified as a way to keep the instantaneous payments and quantity of daily ads.

The new levels of referrals are:

• VIP Premium/Premium Members : 0.0125$/click; 0.0125$/ referral click;
• Standard Members : 0.01$/click, 0.005$/ referral click;
• VIP Members : 0.01$/click; 0.006$/ referral click.

I personally agree and, in one hand, I was already expecting this change that will help maintain this site profitable for a long time both for administrators and for the members.

I tried to make this post as summarized that could be but if I've left you with doubts in any subject, contact me by comment or by email.

How the new reset ads and anti-cheater systems works on Buxout

After presenting you to this site, I will now talk a little more about some features.

Buxout is a PTC from the latest generation following the good examples of NeoBux, which is already the more successful site in this business.

One of the particularities of Buxout is linked to the daily ads reset system, designed to be done every 24 hours according to the server time which is GMT -5.

This means that members can click on the ads at any time of day until midnight (server time) without worrying about the time they clicked the day before, which helps our personal life since we are not forced to be dependent on deadlines to come online click.

Of course that the the counting and accreditation of our referrals clicks is also dependent on this system and occurs at midnight server time.

Another peculiarity on Buxout is the anti-cheater system presented in each ad, as you can see on this image each time the timing of the announcement ends a numerical code is presented and we are asked to click the image with the same number, have always attention and avoid mistakes as this may lead to suspicions about your work.

This site is attracting attention worldwide and everything points to become another case of success in the short term, if you want to make and be paid instantaneous sign-up and become an happy member!

Xclix is closed

Some people still await the return of Xclix, but unfortunately I have to give the sad news that this won't happen.

The site closed in time and, according one of the directors, the reason for this decision is related to the collapse of the partnership between the three directors that manage the site.

No one else will be paid and the field has disappeared, but while it lasted was one of the best PTC from which I received $ 112.53 (my last payment was received in June 17th).

Meanwhile the FoxCash (where is one of the ex-administrators of Xclix) does not have the facilities to recover from attacks that suffered, and the money invested in advertising decreased very little since the consolidated accounts, but everything is being done to recover and can continue for long.

New site - I recomend Buxout with instant payouts

Type - PTC
Release date - 2 of September of 2008
Click worth - $0.01 (normal member) | $0.0125 (premium member)
Referrals click worth - $0.01 (normal member) | $0.0125 (premium member)
Minimum for cashout -  first request $5, second request $7 followings $10
Payments method - AlertPay (instant payouts)

Are you tired of joining PTC sites that promise huge and quick earnings but then take many time to pay what we earned with so much effort?
Are you tired of wasting time on PTC sites administered by people without experience or vocation to make an online business and end up being closed due to safety failures or waiver of the owners?
Then lets all welcome Buxout, a PTC site with instant methods!

This is the second site to provide instant payments to its members through AlertPay as the highly successful NeoBux, and this is not the only similar aspect, take care in the Terms of Service point 22:

The clicks credited from referrals are directly related to the clicks you make. The maximum you will receive is twice the clicks per referral on the day after your clicks. So, for example, if on average your referrals click 10 advertisements today you have to had clicked 5 advertisements on the previous day.

This means that the "lazy referrals" are not welcomed to this site and everyone will have to click every day to earn the referrals credits.

The admin has no lack of experience since is the same for two other successful sites (Earn3 and Extra10), so sign-up now and get advantage on the low prices on upgrading and buying referrals.

Payouts - 10th from NeoBux of almost $200

Total earned with this site: $ 448.21

First of all I have to congratulate NeoBux for the 1 million members mark!

It wasn't this time that I got my first payment through PayPal because I was accumulating a lot and decided it was time to cashout.

The reason for the PayPal, as payments processor, continuing disabled is explained by the admin:

As you know, NeoBux is held by a company and I in the best of intentions submitted the company's information to PayPal to update the account so that everything is legal.
They have a nice feature that limits the account from sending money when new documents are submitted so there's nothing that I can do right now.
However, it will take a while until they read all the documentation sent. I've spoken with them today and it will only be ready for next week.

Meanwhile let's wait for the surprises announced by admin on August 28th!

Ranking of August earnings

This month of August was the one who surrendered me less since the beginning of 2008, but I am still without internet at home and many of my referrals were on vacation. I can't find reasons to be concerned about the outcome and I am sure that I will recover it in September.



But if the sites were I have pending payments (look at my pending payments table) have already paid me as quickly as NeoBux, I could earned more than $300.00!!



Thinking of instantaneous payments I decided to try a new PTC called BuxOut, which was inaugurated yesterday (was one month in Beta phase), and this site is almost 100% similar to NeoBux.



Soon I will make a post about this site , but I recommend you to sign up know to take advantage of the launching promotions.
