Some Petty (or not so petty) Cash Sites
I've been playing with some Pay-To-Click (PTC) sites lately. There are 4 that pay a dollar or more per ad clicked, but I haven't reached payout yet, so I don't know if I'll collect. I'm close on one--Meggabuxx, but the others are going to take a while.

http://www.grandptc.com/index.php?ref=crankyyankee
http://www.bestdollarclicks.com/index.php?ref=crankyyankee

All pay $1 /click but don't pay out until you reach $1000. I've been in Rich PTC the longest and am up to $651.

I've collected regularly on a couple of penny sites:
Clixsense http://www.clixsense.com/?2092135 has paid me over $100 over 3 yrs. I've kept a premium account there for $10 a year, and each year have gotten a few hundred more premium ads than I needed to pay for the upgrade. They only pay by check and charge a $3 service fee, so I only cash out once a year.

Neobux http://www.neobux.com/?r=brianshonye has paid me 4 times and I'm almost to another payout. The catch is that each time you cashout, the cashout threshhold goes up. The first payout was $2, the second $3, the third $4, fourth $5, and now I'm working on $6.
Neobux pays directly into your Paypal or Alertpay account with only a few cents of transaction fees. The last payout was no fee.

I also opened an account at Net Penny Stocks http://www.netpennystocks.com/53569-crankyyankee-2. I put in $6 and I've already gotten $4.10 back out of $6.65 earnings, so I just added another $3.75.

Some of the survey sites I participate in allow me to convert my points to cash or gift cards, but my demographic is not high priority so there are a lot of surveys I don't qualify to complete. Details on the cashout sites on request.

Update on Gomez

I had it running on 2 computers and was getting above the $5 payout about every other month. I loaded it on my husband's computer, which is almost always on, and started getting paid every month. Recently, his computer crashed, and when I got it running again, I'd lost a file I needed to run the DSL off his wireless connection. I ran a spare ethernet cable across the room to his computer, and plugged the USB wireless into an old win98 machine in another room. Now I'm getting a little over $9 from Gomez every month. It took a while to start earning, but it was worth the wait. Their website was promising to upgrade new applicants to active within a few months, so this would be a good time to check it out.

Clixsense Update--second year.

There's a new feature now, allowing you to upgrade out of your account balance. I extended my upgrade for another year, and expected the balance (minus $3) in a check. When I changed my default for payment from $50 to $20 to cash out, I forgot to hit the "Save" button, so my check will be coming the end of August. In the meantime the check is getting bigger. When I upgraded, I had earned $16.77 in premium ads from the previous year's $10 upgrade. With another $10 upgrade paid in, I now only need another 304 premium ads to be ahead of the game for the 2 years combined. Unlike some other PTC's this one does not pay anything against your referral's clicks, but it's a solid long-term program that is not likely to suddenly fold up, taking your earnings with it.

Magic Highway Conferences

Norm gave 5000 autosurf credits to each person who turned up for the midweek conference today.

Where were you?
Clixsense Update

My year ran out on 7/24. I got a check for $ 32.24 on 8/7. Added to my first check, that gives me $39.85. If I'd only taken one check, that would be $3 more. I upgraded right away and I'm keeping an account running to see how long it takes to accumulate $10 in premium only ads.

More about Clixsense

There is now a setting on the details tab for your minimum payout. Instead of having to cash out any month that your total is $10 or more, you can set it for $20, $50, $100, $250, or $500. With referrals your total can rise rapidly, but if you are clicking alone and want to save on the $3 fee for each check, set your payout high enough that you get one check a year. If you upgrade for $10 for the year and cash out at the end, you should at least triple your money. And if you check it more than once a day and check everything you have ANY interest in on your profile, even without referrals you should do well. I upgraded on July 24, 2007 and have earned $22.12 so far without any referrals. I got charged the $3 service fee on the check I got in September, but now I'm going to see how much I can accumulate by the end of July before I cash out again.

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.
