How To Earn in Prizelive

Thursday, March 31, 2011

Prizelive has been one of the most trusted money-making sites however, although there are already millions of members, there are still many who register but do not know how to earn money from it. I know it because I was one of those who left Prizelive for a brief time but decided to learn how to earn money there. 

In Prizelive, you can earn directly cash (1 point = $1) and game points. Game points is used in playing games available in Prizelive too. If you win in the game, you will receive cash.

One thing that I like in Prizelive is that they give different ways to earn, however you need to do is know what are those.
1. Earn by doing offers. There are offers such as survey, purchase, trial, click ads, and others, some are available for international members but many are for members from US, UK, and Canada. International members get lesser offers however, this should not be the reason to stop being active in Prizelive as there are many other ways to earn here. The prizes in doing offers vary from cash to game points.

2.  Install Prizelive Toolbar. By installing the toolbar, you will get a bonus game points every day, which you can use to play a game.

3. Play Games. This is my favorite. I would collect game points and play my favorite Match Up, but of there are other games around. 

4. Own Offers. You can actually own offers and earn from the members who do it. Earn cash and game points.

5. Win in contests. There are many contests in Prizelive and you can win cash too. I won a forum contest once worth $5, but I am not active in forum so that was the last.

6. Win Jackpot prize. Monthly there is a jackpot worth hundreds of dollars. You can earn entries every day by just clicking some ads which prize is jackpot entries.

7. Join in other members' contests. There are members who occasionally hold their own contest. Just visit forum to know who is having a contest.

8. Earn from referrals. You will also get commission from your referral earnings. The more you refer, the more commissions you'll receive, and you might win in the referral contest too.

So, those are the ways on how to earn in Prizelive. It's only up to you if you want to earn or not. For those who do not have Prizelive account, you can join here: Join Prizelive.

Tone A Day (Lymbix) Donates 10K

Monday, March 28, 2011

I am happy to be a member of Lymbix's Tone A Day, not only because I earn from them but also because I am able to help charities such as Red Cross and Kiva. Just recently, Lymbix donates $10,000.oo to these two charities. The amount is from members' donation accumulated for several months. 

According to Lymbix's press release, "Lymbix user community donates over $10,000 to charity.The Canadian Red Cross and KIVA Microloans are two organizations benefiting from funds raised by Lymbix’ ToneADay community."

Red Cross Canada has also tweeted showing gratitude of the donation.
 
While Kiva tweeted how TAD members help them.


It's a good feeling to be one of the members who make this donation possible. I hope that this will inspire members to donate more than the required 10% earnings.

A Proof that Neobux Changes is NO Good

Friday, March 25, 2011

I am one of the Standard members who are opposed to the changes that Neobux made, which is changing the 4 fixed ads rate from 0.01 to 0.001. Neobux concerned was to attract more advertisers at that low rate, however the change is only applicable to Standard members and not to Golden members. Right now, there are several standard members who are give praise in the forum about the changes, stating that their AVG has increased and that they are clicking more ads now. But what these members have not realized is that the AVG measures clicks only and since there are more ads now to click, at the very low rate of 0.001, then it is natural only that the AVG will increase, however the earnings is actually lower compared before. How did I say that? I have a proof, my experience.

I usually withdraw from Neobux and Onbux at the same time, once a month. You can check my previous post for payment proof of Neobux and Onbux. The earnings I made for the 15 days is allotted to the maintenance of the rented referrals, and the earnings on the other 15 days, I withdraw. Most of the time, the amount I withdraw from Neobux and Onbux is quite same, just few cents difference. But this month, I am saddened to say, that I am not able to withdraw from Neobux because I have not reached the required amount, so I only withdraw from Onbux.

 I withdrew last March 22 from Onbux the amount of $5.67 (fee was deducted from this.). However, as you can see in the picture below, I haven't reached that amount until now in Neobux, it is only $4.757 as of this moment of writing.

 And to tell you the truth, last March 22, aside from the cash withdrawal I made from Onbux, I also transfered money from my main balance to rent 5 referrals, and the remaining is what I withdrawn.
 Now, don't you think that this is enough proof that Neobux is not good for standard members? Oh, by the way, I am banned from forum because I made this claim during the time that the changes were released. So, until now, I cannot post in Neobux forum, and I can only read the posts when I am not logged in which of course I am not allowed to post. I am wondering, am I the only one who were opposed of the changes that is banned from using the forum? Oh, maybe they will totally ban me from Neobux for making this post in my blog. (I'm scared ~ ~ ~)

My Blog is Back!

Thursday, March 24, 2011

OMG! My blog is back! 
For those who visit this blog regularly, you would have noticed that it has been down for 5 days. Blogger deleted my blog due to the reason that this blog had been detected as spam blog. When I discovered it last Saturday, I immediately requested for review but after 4 days, I had not received any reply from blogger. Yesterday, I requested for appeal following the procedures given in Blogger help forum. I found out that there were so many blogs that had been deleted too and the forum is flooded with complains about their deleted blogs. One employee from Blogger was there and asked for the apology, and just several hours after I sent my appeal, my blog is restored. 
I was so worried about my blog and I thought I will not be able to recover it. My other blog, Elvira's Roundabout was not deleted so I was thinking that maybe since this blog, Invest and Work at Home, is about online money making, then it was detected as spam. But I found out that there were many blogs that are from different niches that were deleted too. I think it was just an error from their robot spam detector.

Now I am thinking of moving my blog to my own hosting and domain. I think I will need to say goodbye to PR1 which I got after 8 months of waiting.

Neobux, Clixsense Changes Rock PTC World

Monday, March 14, 2011

There have been drastic changes that happened in these two big ptc, Neobux and Clixsense these few days. In one, the members are happy and in the other, not.

UPDATES: Cashium has changed its "solo click" rate from 0.006 to 1 cent. - definitely a GOOD news! (read below for other rates)

Clixsense Changes

I have posted several days ago that I received an email from Clixsense announcing their changes, and last week, they had started implementing these changes. Among the changes that have been implemented are the following:


1. change of the template and design of the site - the site looks more beautiful than before

2. addition of micro ads ($0.001) - I am not happy with this change. The earnings are lower because only very few advertisers buy regular ad, most of them now buy microads. Before I get an average of 10 regular ads ($0.01 each), now it's reduced dramatically. Most of the ads now are microads, which will take you 10 micro ads clicks before you earn the same amount you earn with 1 regular ad. Only the advertisers are happy here.

3. addition of Paypal as payment option - this is good specially from those countries where Alertpay withdrawal are not yet available.

4. adding a timer to the ads shown in clix grid - this is good for advertiser, but not for clickers, however, I think it is just fair.

One of the changes included in the email I received was the forum, however until now it is still under construction. I think it would be great if they will launch the forum so members will be able to discuss things there and it will be more transparent. I can say that with the changes Clixsense made, they have done a really good job.

Neobux Changes


Yesterday, Neobux members were surprised with the new announcement and at the same time new ad rates.  I'm sorry if I cannot give the screenshots of the posts from the Admin of Neobux because I think I am now banned in Neobux forum since I made several posts (I think 5 posts in 30 minutes) just an hour ago. So, if you are a member of Neobux, just go to the forum to see what I am about to discuss here.  So, what's the change?

1. Members will no longer receive commission from Direct Referrals. - This is not good for members who have many direct referrals.

2. The usual 4 fixed ads that cost 1 cent each is now 0.001 each. - This is not good for standard members who do not have referrals and just work on their own to earn in Neobux. **Upadate: Golden Members will have their click rates back as before ($0.01)

3. Members will still earn commission from regular and extended ads (0.01-0.015 each) only clicked by their Rented Referrals but not in micro ads (0.001). - Advertisers will buy more of micro ads since they are cheap and will mean more clicks, so there will be very less regular and extended ads. That means less ads that will give commission. This is only good for advertisers but not for members, specially for Standard members who do not rent referrals.

From my own perspective, Neobux is trying to be PaidtoClick.co.in, where there was no direct referrals, only rented referrals. But where is Paidtoclick.co.in now? It has turned scam! I hope that Neobux will not be like that. 

I noticed that these changes has forced PTCs because of micro ads. Micro ads just kill the profit of ptc owners and clickers. PTC should not offer micro ads to advertisers because with so cheap rate, it is impossible to pay the clickers and keep a profit. Aside from that, nobody would like to waste their time clicking 0.001 worth of ads. Well, that's my 2 cents worth of thought. 


Cashium change

Yesterday, Cashium has announced a good news. Since it was taken over by a new management from bankruptcy, the new admin reduced the "solo click" from 0.008 to 0.006. However, yesterday, it has been announced the new rates for "solo or own click".

New rates:
Standard and Discover members : 1 cent
Superior members : 1.2 cent
Supreme members : 2.0 cent

I Won.. Again!

Saturday, March 12, 2011

Oh, boy, these days I'm getting lucky. The other day I just won in Hit2Hit a referral contest and today, I received an email from ToneADay that I won in the weekly draw with a prize of $10! This is really amazing, I can get used to this LOL...

 
ToneADay (Lymbix) hold weekly draw of 20 winners with prizes ranges from $100  to $5. I am really surprised to see me won because although I rate words everyday, I am not big rater. Actually, in the new campaign, which luckily I am chosen again, from the 1244 phrases to be rated since March 7, I have rated 157 phrases only, I really have to rate more if not I won't be able to finish them again before the campaign expires, just like the January and February campaigns.

Now, my target is to win the tag hunt contest in Tag Village. I have been staying up late just to join the contest; it usually starts at noon US time so it's quite late here in my place. For two consecutive days, I have almost guess the right tag, so I believe that one day, I will win it. If I win, the prize is $100 for me and another $100 for the charity that I choose. I really wish to win because I already choose the charity I wanted to help.  

By the way, Hit2Hit has a new referral contest. I'm going to join again and I hope to grab the bigger prize. This time I have to work hard to get more referrals.

I Won!

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

Yesterday, I was surprised to receive an email from Hit2Hit.com informing me that I won in the referral contest placing 9th and will receive $7 as a prize. I actually have forgotten about the contest. When it was first launched, I was kinda excited and actively promoted my referral link to all my social network and blog, however, since this contest ran for two months, I grew tired promoting it and just totally stopped and forgotten it until yesterday. Oh, if only I did not stop the promotion, I could have won the first prize which was $200, well anyways, too late to  regret, at least I have $7.


Hit2Hit is a traffic exchange site. What I like in this site is that the owner, Franscisca Kruissink is very active and always reaching out to the members. I actually have not logged in for sometime there since I become busy but now, I am motivated to be active again. There might be another contest again, ;)

Adgitize February Payment

Monday, March 7, 2011

Last month's payment from Adgitize is quite bigger than what I expected. I received $19 when I was expecting not even $13. It happened that one of my referrals has advertise his/her blog, and for that I received $5 first time ad commission, and another $1 for monthly commission. It's great to earn and have quality traffic to my blog.

Tone A Day Payment for February Campaign

Thursday, March 3, 2011

Just like the January campaign, I wasn't able to finish Tone A Day's February campaign, so now, I am not sure again whether I will be chosen in the next campaign since unlike the January campaign, I was able to keep my rank at least not less than 100th, but last month's campaign, I was at more than 100th rank. The words to be rated in February campaign was more compared to January's. I was quite busy last month so I wasn't able to rate more or less 400 words. However, I still earned $38.
