Onbux review

I joined Onbux on November 30th and decided to invest $200 right away. You don’t need to invest any money up front, but if you want to make money quickly than its the only way. Again, I use money made from paid surveys and online gaming to invest with, so if I should happen to lose it all, I won’t be hurt by it. I’m not risking rent or grocery money on this. So I upgraded to a golden account for $80 and spent $20 on 100 referrals. I added 100 referrals every 6 days and have extended about half of my referrals by 90 days to take advantage of the 20% discount. I will extend the rest as I receive the money. I have not withdrawn any money yet and don’t plan to until I have at least 1000 referrals.

I ended the month with 600 referrals and had 15532 referral clicks for the month. I average about 9 ads a day ($.09) for my clicks. My RR (rented referral) ave started out over 2 for the first 100 and steadily declined to about 1.3 by the time I had 600, which is still very profitable.

Likes
No problems getting referrals. When I want to rent 100 referrals, they are there and are added right away.
No problems loading the page. There has been no down time on the website. I can always access my account.
Good rental prices. $20 per 100 up to 250, add $1 for each 250 after.
Nice referral statistics. Makes it easy to follow your referrals.

Dislikes
No monthly upgrade option. If I want to upgrade to Ultimate, I would have to shell out over $800 up front, which is a hefty piece of change.
Only 20% discount for extending referrals. Some sites offer up to 30% discount.

Overall, Onbux is my favorite PTC site so far. I was able to upgrade to Golden right away and start earning money right off the bat. Averages have been decent and have been able to add 100 referrals every 6 days. I haven’t done much recycling yet, I am going to give most of my referrals a month before I decide, and will recycle those under .8 ave. This will be subject to change as I go along. For the next month, I will keep doing the same thing, adding 100 referrals every 6 days and extending referrals by 90 days.

Invested: $200

Worldwinner Update

Here are my Worldwinner results for the month of May playing only ladders.
194 games played
112 won (76% of accepted challenges)
35 lost
47 challenges not accepted

Winnings = (112 * $1.15 per win) – (35 * $1.85 per loss) – $.50 sign up fee = $63.55 for the month

194 games * 3 min per game ave = 582 min or 9.7 hours spent playing.

$63.55 / 9.7 = $6.55 hourly wage

Not a great wage, but not bad for playing games while watching tv. This doesn’t included rewards points I accumulated during the month which can be redeemed for cash and would thus raise my hourly wage somewhat. Year to date winnings (net winning – additional entry fees) is $320 or about $64 a month. I also have 56,000 reward points to be redeemed, which is over $100.worldwinnerjune12010

Get Paid to Click

Paid to click(PTC) sites such as Onbux, Hits4Pay, DealsNCash and ClixSense generally pay around 1/2 cent to 1 cent for clicking on an ad. That doesn’t sound like a lot of money. It’s not. You’ll need to create a downline in order for it to be worth your time.

If you can add some referrals to your account, then you can be on your way to some decent money with very little time and effort involved. Lets take Hits4Pay for example. They pay you 2 cents per click, plus 1 cent per referral click, and 1 cent per referral’s referral’s click. Lets say you click on 5 ads a day at $.02 a click, so you make 10 cents. Then you get 5 referrals to each click the 5 ads so that’s another $.25. Then the 5 referrals each get 5 referrals to click on the 5 ads a day so that’s another $1.25. That adds up to $1.60 a day or about $50 a month. Multiply that by 3 or 4 different sites and it comes out to a couple hundred bucks a month.

So how do you get referrals? It could be from friends, family members or co-workers. You can put links on your website, blog, or facebook page. You don’t have to spend any money on it or a lot of time. Give it say 3 months or so and if you haven’t created a downline at all, then maybe PTC isn’t for you and you can move on to the next idea. At the very least, you should have $20-30 to show for it for all the clicking you have done, so go out and buy yourself a blue-ray disc.

Trading for a Living

Day trading stocks and futures from the comfort of your own home is one of the best jobs a person could have.  There is no commute and no dress code.  You don’t have to listen to annoying co-workers or answer to uptight bosses.  The barriers to entry are fairly low and the income potential is unlimited.  You need high speed internet, a broker such as Tradestation or Optionsxpress, and about $6,000 to trade 1 contract of the e-mini s & p futures(symbol es).  So, should you quit your day job and become a full time trader.  Well of course not.  Not yet anyway.

First, get thee some education.  You need a system to trade.  You can’t just wake up and say to yourself, “I feel like buying today” and then later go, “Well, that didn’t work.  I guess I should sell now”.  A system tells you when to buy and sell.  It could be based on Technical Analysis and Chart Patterns, or perhaps Elliott Wave Theory.  It could tell you to go short once prices go below that trendline that has held for three months or to buy because wave 3 up has just begun.  But a systems primary benefit comes not in telling you when you’re right, but when you are wrong.  It allows you to get out of positions right away before major damage can be done.  Capital preservation should be your main goal as new trader.  Opportunities come along every day, so don’t worry about missing one.  In addition to reading books about trading, check out some trading blogs like Slope of Hope and learn from traders that hang out there.

After you’ve found an entry and exit system that works for you, you need a Money Management strategy.  Basically, how much are you willing to lose on each trade  and how are you going to take profits.  This is the key to your long term survival as a trader.  You could make money on 90% of your trades, but if your winners are small and your losses huge, then you’ll be out of business and back to that daily commute.

I’ll have more on trading in future posts.

Make money with paid surveys

Paid surveys are an easy way to make some quick cash from home.  You can make over $100 month filling out surveys and spend less than 30 minutes a day on it.  The trick is to find sites that pay you well for your time (I prefer making over $10/hour for my time) and that let you qualify for the majority of the surveys.  Check out my list of top 10 survey sites to get you started.  My favorite site is Opinion Outpost. You’ll probably find that 3-4 sites work the best for you and allow you to make the most money with the least effort.

To supercharge your earnings from home, you could take money you make from surveys and invest it in an online business, such as affiliate marketing, online trading, or website building.

Worldwinner review

Worldwinner.com is not for everyone, but if you have quick reflexes or are good with words games, you can make some money and have fun doing it.  I have been a member for years and I take home about $100/month just by playing games.  The top handful of people in a particular game can make over $1000 a month, but I’m not that good and probably never will be so I just take what the game gives me.

First step is to register and start playing the games for free.  Try them all and see which ones you like.  Make sure to play the daily freeplay to see where you stack up against the others.  Don’t worry if you’re nowhere near the leaders to start with, give yourself a few weeks to practice.  Check places like youtube to see videos of the best players and see how they get the high scores.  Practice until you can consistently get scores near your 10 highest scores, even if the scores aren’t near the high scores of the best players, that’s okay.  Consistency  is the key.  Don’t have a highest score that’s way higher than all your other scores, it just makes you appear better than you actually are and you’ll face tougher competition.  Once you can do this, then you can make money.

Fund your account, perhaps with money you made from surveys thus are not too upset if you lose it, and play some games.  I stick mostly to ladders and only play people who’s high score is worse than mine or maybe only a little bit higher, certainly no one with a much higher high score.  Since the house takes it cut, you’ll have to win around 60% of the time to break even, but that shouldn’t be a problem if your scores are consistent and you’re not playing anyone way better.  I average around 75-80% winners.

I also like to play worldwinner games with high rewards, since you get the rewards whether you win or lose.  Just don’t average more in losses than you’ll make in rewards and you’ll be okay.  I save my rewards until I have enough for $100 in worldwinner credits and then I cash them in.  The credits are then used for game entries, and since you’ll be winning more than you lose, you can eventually withdraw those as cash.

Feel free to try other types of games and see what works best for you.  If you’re really good, you can play the big tournaments and survivals and make big money.

Good luck and good gaming!
