Google Adsense

Great News! I have passed $100 today in my adsense account. This means that I qualify for the end of the month deadline for August and so will be included in the payout. This is my second payout from Adsense - my first being back in April. I have lots of websites using adsense and earning is still pretty slow, so do not give up those of your earning this way - I am sure you will reach the $100 minimum payout amount eventually.

Online Poker

Playing poker online is probably not the best way to earn money unless you are an expert player or very lucky. If you enjoy playing and want to have a go at playing online, or you use it as a way of earning money, then you might be interested in visiting http://www.internet-poker.co.uk/. They have lists of UK Poker Sites, US Poker Sites and poker site reviews. They have a list on their homepage of their top ten poker sites and at a glance you can see whether they accept USA players, whether they have a bonus for signing up, whether they match your deposit and gives bonus codes if needed. The website has the rules of the different types of poker (such as Omaha, texas holdem and seven card stud), poker news such as laws and information related to poker such as casinos, films, books, films, players, sites, software etc. You can sign up to the newsletter where you receive 10 free tips on poker and then monthly updates. If you do want to earn money this way then it is best to learn as much as you can about the game and this site could be a good help towards getting this knowledge.

Website Review : Little Earner

LIttle Earner is a website all about how to earn money online. The website is split up into useful sections. There is a section where he reports what his earnings have been so far. This is very useful as it can help you to decide which online money making schemes are working the best. There are sections on how to earn money from cashback websites, gambling and surveys. He has an intersting section on how to make money from your website, which explains things like advertising and affiliate schemes. There is even a section on things that do not work.

Overall I really liked the site as it was not too full of information so was not overwhelming, but had enough detail to be able to decide which money making option seemed the best. The layout was simple and neat and I found it easy to navigate. The tone was friendly and articles were well written so that they were easy to follow.

Make Money more Quickly

If you are finding Pay to Click a bit slow, earnings wise, then it is worth considering trying pay to signup. This is where you will get reqarded for registering with websites. It takes a little longer to earn, but the earnings ae potentially much higher. I have made $80 doing this (plus an addition $53 from referrals). The site that I made this money on was Mediadollarz. The site is open to residents from USA, UK, AU, NL and NL. It pays by Paypal and has no minimum withdrawal amount.

Website Review : Best Gas Credit cards

With the price of gas in America going up and up then it is wise to look around to find a good way of saving money when purchasing it. Best gas credit cards is a website which could have information to help you. They state that some credit cards have cash back when you use them to purchase gas, which means you can make savings everytime you buy. Some of the cards offer discounts on other purchases as well such as travel or dining. Some of the cards offer deals on balance transfers or low initial APR's too so that could help - as long as the interest rates do not climb too high at a later stage. The website allows you to compare gas credit cards. It has a list of 4 cards and compares them based on APR, introduction APR, introduction interest rate on balance transfer, annual fee, grace period, late fee and overlimit fee. This means that you can make a decision based on your needs. You can apply for the credit cards by clicking a link on the site, so if you decide that one of the cards suits your needs then you can go ahead and get it with minimal fuss. The site even has more detail about each of the credit cards that it compares so that you can further investigate the card before you decide whether or not to apply.

The website is concise but has enough detail to make a decision. This means that you are not wasting your time reading through lots of unecessary information. It is easy on the eye and has some pictures to make it more easy going. The only critisism I woudl have is that it only compares four credit cards when I am sure there are far more than four out there. Despite this, it is still a good starting place to help you decide whether a credit card is the right decision for you and whether one of the cards described on this site would suit your needs.

2 for 1 on advertising

Just a quick reminder that Snowclicks is having a 2 for 1 sale on advertising today. I bought 10 signups for $2 and got another 10 free meaning that they just cost me 10 cents per signup and considering Clixsense pays $0.10 per signup then I can potentially break even and have the chance of receiving a $5 bonus if they decide to upgrade. It also means that if you get signups for other Pay to Click sites, they only have to click a few links for you to get your money back.

My Bux.to Investment

I am please to say that I am making back some of the money that I spent on Bux.to. I upgraded my membership - paying $59 for the year and bought 15 referrals for $16.95. Well I have now made enough money back to cover the cost of the referrals. My referrals seem to be earning me a fair bit too having made 734 visits to the website. I still have the upgrade cost to make back, but I am pleased with my progress so far - especially as am making more than I am on other PTC sites where I have more referrals.

Website Review : Regency Beauty Institute

Regency Beauty Institute was founded more than 50 years ago in Minneapolis and is rapidly growing. It started as two Minnesota schools and has expanded since 2002 to have 30 campuses across nine states. The cosmetology schools are unique in that they mirror salons, so the students give cut price treatments to real customers meaning that they get on the job experience as part of their education. They also provide the students with placements on cruise ships, in salons and at runways and their services are greatly sought after. To contact the school please get in touch with Kim Radetzki-Brosdahl, Vice President, Marketing, www.regencybeauty.com

New Ways to Make Money

I am looking for some new ways to make money. I have tried Pay to Read, pay to Click and Pay to Post. I am finding that I could do with some more ways to earn. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate some feedback.I have been considering investing in premium bonds but am not sure if that is a good idea.

Making Money Through Links

I have just made some money by selling some links within my blog articles. I saw an advert on Digital Point Forums and was offered $30 for 17 links in various articles within 2 of my blogs. I was thrilled with this and would recommend looking on this forum for opportunities to make money.

Adbux Autoline

Adbux have recently introduced a new feature called autoline. For a monthly fee of $10 you get given referrals as they become available. This is replacing the referral sales which happen 3 times a week, although at the moment you can still buy 10 referrals for $14.95 which is more expensive than they used to be. I am not sure whether this is that good a deal. I have found that my referrals are not that active (although things have picked up with the new advertising system) and until I earn back the money I paid out from buying referrals I am reluctant to spend any mor emoney on the site.

Great Advertising Offer

Wow, Snowclicks has a fantastic offer on at the moment. They are doing a buy one get one free offer on all advertising. I am not sure how long this offer is on for so act quickly to take advantage of it. The site is cheap anyway so it is great for advertising for referrals or to get hits on your own website.

Virus protection

I was talking to my sister last night and she was telling me that she had a virus that she needed to get rid of. It got me thinking how reliable my virus checker is. I often get warnings that I have viruses in my email or on websites that I am browsing but my virus checker just eliminates them for me. Another great advantage is that it does not seem to slow my computer down, which I have found other virus checkers seem to do. I have been asked to review NOD32 as a sponsored article and was very pleased to do so and recommend it as it is the virus checker that I have been using for several years now. They also have anti-spyware, exploits and firewall protection in their software. I have recommended the software to others and they have all found it to provide the necessary protection for their home computers.

Is Google adsense worth it?

I have cashed out once from Google Adsense (having reached the minimum $100) and I am close to cashing out again. However, per day, I make a very small amount of money and considering I have about 7 websites combining to make my income it has taken a long time. However, today I earned 5 times my daily average from one click. The website it came from is fairly new and I have not had many clickthroughs from it before. It made me feel that it is worthwhile having the adverts on sites. It seems that although the income is small it is worth the wait as there is hardly any effort involved!

Does this really count?

A big part of the early stages of doubling is to use money that you find. I have just found a pound coin, a twenty pence coin and a five pence coin in the laundry. Now I assume that because this is money which has fallen out of my husbands pocket then it woudlnt count if I used it towards my doubling...however, is it that different to using money found on the street?

Gourmet Gift Baskets - that don't cost a fortune.

If you are looking for a different present idea for someone then Gourmetgiftbaskets.com have a great range ofbirthday gift baskets. I was surprised at the range of prices that they had - it means that if you are trying to save money, like me, then you can get something stylish but cheap, but they do have more sophisticated and expensive baskets should you wish to spend more money. You can get baskets for occasions such as birthdays, new baby, housewarming, get well or specifically for men or women. You can choose a particular food type such as chocolate, cheesecake or dried fruits. You can even choose a theme such as golf, gardening or football.

Golddiggers PTC

Just in case you did not get the email from Golddiggers this morning, they are now under new management. I am hoping that this will mean a few good competitions and good offers for advertisers to make sure that the take over is smooth and no members are lost...we will have to wait and see.

livewyre.com

Just a reminder that you may find www.livewyre.net an interesting site to take a look at. It has articles on how to build a website and make money from it and how to get it high in search engines. Has a section with free software and a section on how to make money online. There is something for everyone and there is soon to be new sections added.

Ways to Save Money

I spend a lot of time on my blog discussing ways to make money. however, if you are looking for ways of saving money then you may like to take a look at my sisters blog. It is full of ideas of how to live on a budget. It is called Mums Money Matters and although it is written from the point of view of binging up a family on a budget, there are tips for everyone on there.

My Weekly Pay to Click Earnings

I reported my Pay to Click Earnings earlier today. I did it in a hurry as I wasn't sure how much time I would have later. I have now had a chance to look over the figures and am again surprised by them. The Adbux earnings were higher than last week by quite a bit but the Clixsense were surprisingly lower and most other things were pretty similar. I was expecting the Adbux to be lower as when their new advertising system came in they had a rush of adverts. However, the fact that my earnings have got even higher shows that their advertising system is sucessful. I cannot find an explanation for Clixsense being so low compared to last week. It may simply be that I visited the site less often so next weeks results will be interesting.

Stock Footage Video

Always HD are in the stock footage video market. They stand apart from other similar companies as they are a place where cinematographers and producers go to look for high definition footage. They actively market their video footage at documentary makers, broadcast television studios and independent filmmakers. The contributing cinematographers receive revenue if their footage sells. So this could be a great earning opportunity for anyone out there who has this type of footage and is prepared to sell it. This means that any unused footage that you have you could make available for sale and make some revenue from it.

Global Cash Clicks

I requested my monthly payout from Global cash Clicks on the 25th August and was paid today. I was pleased with the $3.18 that I received. I earnt the money from a monthly bonus that they gave me for entering their monthly draw and from clicking banner ads. These are paid less than one cent and so it might seem a waste of time to click them. However, I know that the site pays up which is important. I also find it to be something that I can do while I am clicking the 30 second pay to click ads and waiting for the timers on those.

A Pair Of

I requested my monthly payment from A Pair Of on the 25th August. I received my payment of $2.68 the very next day, which was great. Although this site does not make me a fortune, I find it is a reliable earner and payer which is why I stick with it. They email me about 10 times a day and I just have to click the link in the email to earn. It is a great thing to do when I am relaxing in teh evenings or justw aking up in the mornings as it doesn't take any thought!

Pay to Click Earnings for the last week

My Pay to Click earnings for the week have been as follows :

Adbux : $3.66 (referrals 141 +3) - upgraded member
Clixsense : $0.82 (referrals 23 +2) - upgraded member
Bux.to : $3.10 (referrals 30 +1) - upgraded member
Wordlinx : $0.44 (referrals 27 +0)
Dreamclix : $0.48 (referrals 9 +0)
Linkgrand : $0.06 referrals 7 +0)
Clixmedia : $0.31 (referrals 1 +0)
Adbuddy : $0.11 (referrals 1)
Englandbux : $0.04 (referrals 2 +2)

After the number of referrals the number in brackets shows how many new referrals have signed up this week.

A Great Way to Earn by Clicking

Pay to Click can be very time consuming and with some sites paying only a fraction of a cent for each click it can have very small rewards. If you cannot find referrals it can take a long time to cash out. I have found a great site where I am making money from clicking but much more than many other PTC sites. For example this morning I made £0.32 in 5 minutes. It will take me a long time to reach the £25 minimum withdrawal amount but I spend a lot less time earning it. The website is called Moneyback madness. It is actually a cashback site so you can earn cashback on purchases from many online stores which can really help to increase your earnings. You can also earn commission from referrals joining up. In order to find the sites that I can make £0.32 a day from, just click the daily money back section in the retailers list on the right hand side.

Website Review : www.ukoem.com

www.ukoem.com is a website where you can play skill games for money. You play other users and if you win earn money. You can use that to play other games or cash it out. At the moment you can register on the site and watch videos to see how it all works. It will be launched in September / October. You will be able to earn money by playing the games as well as by bringing in affiliates and being paid commission for both bringing in players and introducing new 'recruiters'. Players can earn money by paying to take place in tournaments where the winner takes all. There is also a large social networking base where players can invite their contacts through MSN and yahoo messenger, googletalk etc and if they introduce a new player they will earn commission. Registration on the site is free at the moment during the pre launch stage. This could be a great way to earn money - if you can introduce a lot of players and earn commission from that. It could be tricky if you spend your money on paying for games, unless you are skilled and can win a lot!

My bathroom is almost finished!

i had no idea how disruptive it would be, having the builders in the house. The children have been out of sorts all week and so I have not been finding much time to post on here - only really to do paid posts to get in some money. I am sorry about that and hope that I can get the quality of this blog back up very soon.

It seems that the work will cost a bit more than I predicted so it will take me even longer to pay for it all and until it is paid for I will not be able to go back to doubling properly again as I will need to draw the money out of the project. I knwo that some doublers charge themselves interest for this type of borrowing and am considering doing the same thing myself. I will keep you posted on how the repayments are going and when I plan to start doubling again. I am considering making a large investment soon but am not revealing it until I am sure it is a wise decision.....

Impressed with Snowclicks

I am very impressed with Snow Clicks PTC. I requested a payment from them yesterday and received it within a few hours. The site does not pay huge amounts of money but they keep adding new features such as competitions and pay to signup so that members have more chances of making money. They also have great deals for advertisers so you can referrals for your favourite sites or exposure for your own website or blog.

Learn Options Trading

OEX Options are offering an opportunity to learn options trading. Options trading is a less risky way of dealing in shares and is therefore more a more attractive option to people who like the idea of share trading but cannot afford to lose so much money. Options trading gives a person the right to buy specific shares when they reach a specific price (as long as this happens before a specified date). To begin trading you have to buy an options contract for a premium, this contract will change depending on which stock you decide to go with, but will normally be for 100 shares. In order to make good money out of options trading you will need to learn a lot about it. OEX Options has a number of articles so that you can learn all about option trading even one explaining how to carry out online option trading. There are also articles about day trading options and about trading blue chip companies. You can subscribe, on the website and get more detailed information such as daily alerts about day trading, information about when to buy and sell. You can even pay extra and get mentoring on online option trading.

Pay to Click

There are still new pay to click sites popping up on a daily basis. It seems impossibe that there is room in the market for all of these companies. I am sure that some will start to go out of business soon. It is quite tricky trying to decide which might be the survivors. I think that it is best to spend time on the more well established companies. Also take a look at the ads that you are clicking. If they are the same ones each day, then they are likley to be he site owners advertisements. If they change every few days then they are more likely to be paid advertisements. The more paid advertisements a site has the more income it will make.

Website Review : Safe Haven Financial Center

Safe Haven Financial Center specialises in Life Settlements and aim to help customers make the right decision with regards to life settlements. Life Settlements allow you to sell your life insurance policy to free up the money tied up in that policy, they do thier best to get you the most cash possible for your policy. This money, that would have otherwise been unaccessable could be put into an investment, you can spend it on anything you wish or donate it to a charity of your choice and could be available within 4-6 weeks. The company tend to be interested in people whose policies have a face value of more than $50,000 and the customers are over 65. The website contains an eight question quiz which will let you know whether you qualify or you can just contact the company directly through the website in order to find out your options. You can get a free evaluation of your current policy to find out how much equity you can release from your policy. Or you can take a look at the companies brochure online - you can view their pdf file without even waiting for it to arrive in the post. There are a few useful articles on the website which could help you decide whether a life settlement is the right decision for you. The articles are : cashing in on unneeded life insurance policies, why sell a life insurance policy and the evolution of a secondary life settlements market. Their agents will contact you by email or telephone to start discussing your needs or answering your questions. They will respond to your contact request immediately and their service is free.

The website was well designed and had some pictures which made it easy on the eye. The articles were clearly written and therefore easy to understand.

Coke Zero Movie Contest

Coke zero is running a new Internet campaign called 'Life as it should be.' You can direct your own movie and send it to your friends by manipulating black and white clips and adding voice over to them. This is all to advertise their 'Real Taste, zero Sugar' coke drink. You can watch other peoples movies on the website and rate them too. There are not that many on there yet, so if you are witty or imaginative or just fancy yourself as a movie director then it is worth having a go and seeing ifyou can reach the top five.

Website Review : Make Money Online

Make Money Online is a website which has details of how to make money using the Internet. It has information on making money from auctions such as eBay, Blogging, ebooks, surveys, affiliate programs and websites. There are articles on each of these topics to help you to learn about them. For example in their eBay section is a general overview and then a basic tutorial on starting your ebay business. There is a section on how to present your items for sale and an article about features and benefits of using ebay. There are also articles on how to search on ebay, how to sell on ebay, ebay stores, merchant accounts and much more. Having used ebay for years, I was impressed by the amount of information and the detail that the articles went into. They covered every possible area that I would feel would be important for someone to know about when starting off as an ebay seller.

I decided to also take a look at their make money from blogging section, as it is what I am doing! I found it good as an overview but would have liked to have seen more information on search engine optomisation and how to draw traffic to your blog. It was great that they included information on how to put adverts on the blog site but without traffic, the adverts are not much use!

Despite this, I would recommend taking a look at the website. The articles are well written and clear, so that if you want to follow the instruction given, it is easy to do so. There is quite a bit of advertising on the site, but I did not find it overly distracting. I liked the layout and found that the neat and clean appearance of the site added to the ease of use.

Paid to Post

I know that having paid postings can be slightly off putting for readers but I have found that it is really helping generate a decent income from my blog. I have found a great forum where you can negociate deals privately for both writing blog articles and selling links. You can either advertise or look through the advertisements on the site. I have found some great deals on there. The forum is called Digital Point forums. It is well worth a look if you are looking to buy or sell links.

Bloggers Rule the World

My friend Ajeet from DP forums wrote this post.

Isn't it amazing how the humble blog has become all powerful? Indeed blogs have become so well-accepted that one can no longer circumnavigate them. Take for example all these friends I have who run their own blogs: Turner, Alvarez, Nicole, Helen Constantine, Mickey Temp, Sharon Steele, Dave Abigail, Kathy Bright, Casper DoGood, Edwina Warner, Eva Gardner, Charlene Coop. And then of course there are those who are running several services on their blogs. For instance: Major Major blog, Random Articles, Directory Owners Interview Blog, Web sites review. Clearly the era of the blogs is here.

The reason that TIME magazine selected YOU as the person of the year was because of the power of citizen journalism -- primarily driven by blogs. So, what are you stalling for? Go over to one of the free services like blogger or some other, or get your own word press blog.

What is very intriguing about the blogosphere is the way you can actually generate an avalanche of a response to your thoughts. Just be true to yourself and post something that you truly believe in. And quite literally, the world can be yours.

Of course, if you are a technophobe, you will face some initial hesitation in getting this entire process going. Not a problem, blogging technology is notoriously easy to use. In many senses it is an entry level content management system. Something like a CMS for the masses.

If you do not publish your own blog, then now is a good time to do so. Look at some of my other friends who run their own blogs: Madlaine Made, Maria Robins, Mike Horner, Tyran Mike, Noel Page, Ted Nestle, Terresa Hopkins, Zoe Martini, Ajeet Khurana, Joy, Kendall, and get a good idea of what you could do.

Pay to Click Earnings for the last week

My Pay to Click earnings for the week have been as follows :

Adbux : $2.83 (referrals 138 +7) - upgraded member
Clixsense : $1.39 (referrals 21 +1) - upgraded member
Bux.to : $4.81 (referrals 29 +5) - upgraded member
Wordlinx : $0.42 (referrals 27 +0)
Dreamclix : $0.47 (referrals 9 +0)
Linkgrand : $0.08 referrals 7 +0)
Clixmedia : $0.31 (referrals 1 +0)
Adbuddy : $0.11 (referrals 1)
Englandbux : $0.86 (referrals 2 +2)

After the number of referrals the number in brackets shows how many new referrals have signed up this week.

I am surprised how little money some of the sites have been making especially if you take the number of referrals into consideration. I do spend most time checking clixsense and adbux for new opportunities to click and only check bux.to infrequently as there tend to be less ads appearing during the course of the day.

There is a similar study to mine on another blog : sparemoolah

Earn Money Writing Articles

Helium is a webiste where you can earn money by writing articles. If you are currently a blogger and therefore used to writig then it could be a good way to earn additional income. I have joined up but not bothered to any writing as they only pay US residents. I have heard that it can be a really good earner, so if you like writing then check it out by clicking the banner below.

Englandbux PTC site : thoughts so far

Having been a member of Englandbux I thought I would report on what I thought of it. You can get paid by clicking links and also by reading email. I find this slightly annoying as you have to check to sections of the site for possible links to click. Some sites have 4 sections to look in so this is better than some! I seem to be making an average of three pence a day at the moment. This is fairly average in my experience of pay to click sites. Because you get paid in pence rather than cents you can earn the money more quickly - you get paid 2 cents for 45 seconds rather than 1 cent for 30 seconds.

Bux.to payment

I reached the minimu payment amount of $10 in my Bux.to account last night. I requested a payout and received my money within 2 hours. I was very impressed! I seem to be earning well at the moment from this site (I will calculate the exact earnings for my weekly PTC earnings article). From having a quick look at the statistics it seems like it will be my best performing PTC site and I have less referrals than I do on some of the other sites. I think that this is due to the large amount of links available to click. I was getting at least 10 a day, but now I have upgraded my membership I am getting at least 20 a day (usually more) and getting 25% more for each link either me or my referrals click.

Making My Target $50

It was amazing how much more determined I was to make my $50 yesterday because I had actually made my goal public. Not only did I publicise it here but also on a forum. At 10pm I was ready to give up but I decided to wait a few more minutes and two opportunities to earn $5 came along and I surpassed my target by taking both. I am so pleased that I was able to do it. I knew that goal setting worked and I do it all of the time but the power of public goal setting has been demonstrated to me now.

I have made my $50

I have at last reached my $50 target. It has been hard work but I made it! I made $28.62 from writing sponsired blog articles which I organised through Digital Points Forum, a further $5 through Pay Per Post and $15 through review me. I made $0.62 through cashback sites and $1.14 through pay to click sites. I made $0.61 through Adsense, $0.50 through subvert and profit and $0.11 through a pair of. This makes a total of $51.63. Some of the articles I have arranged to write, I have not yet done, so there will be quite a few over the next few days. Sorry about this!

Thanks to MillionNZdollars for the idea.

Today's Earnings update

Just to keep you up to date : I have earned over $11 so far today so am just over 1/5th way towards my $50 target. This was earned by doing some sponsored reviews and on pay to click and cashback sites. I will give a detailed explaination including from which sites I earned every penny once I have reached my target (or at the end of the day, whichever comes first).

Thank you

I would just like to thank everyone who has voted for my blog on the bloginterviewer website. I am in their top ten sites and although only the top three places win prizes, it is fantastic that you have helped me reach top ten status. Thank you to everyone who has voted for me so far, especially those who have returned to vote more than once.

My Challenge for Today

I have decided to set myself a challenge of earning $50 today. I feel like if I set myself a goal that I will work extra hard to achieve it - especially if I share this goal with others. I feel that $50 could be pretty tough and will really push me but compared to working offline is not a lot of money at all. I will update you tomorrow morning with how well I have done.

Website Review : Livewyre

Livewyre.net has launched for beta testing today ahead of its official live launch on the 20th August. This is a great opportunity to view this great website. The website has several sections all of which would be of interest to anyone trying to make money online, especially if they have a website. There are sections on making money online, free software, search engine optimisation and how to build a website as well as how to monetise it. Although I have written the make money online section and therefore have shared most of the knowledge on this blog already, it is in a more concise and ordered fashion. There are also some great tips in the other sections too. So be ahead of the game and check it out!

Englandbux PTC site

I have seen Englandbux advertised over the last few days and decided to give it a go. It pays in pound sterling which is unusual and why I signed up. It pays for reading emails (which you can opt to have sent to you or kept within your inbox on the website) and for clicking on banners. You get paid one pence per click which is very good compared to a lot of sites which pay one cent or less per click. You do need to earn £10 before you can withdraw. As with most of these sites you can buy referrals and upgrade your membership. I will add this site to my weekly PTC report.

I would like to thank Daniel who commented on my blog and suggested that I did a weekly update of my Pay to Click site earnings. I think it was a fantastic idea. So for my first post I will show how much I have earned so far:

Adbux : $65.29 (referrals 131) - upgraded member
Clixsense : $34.36 (referrals 20) - upgraded member
Bux.to : $7.74 (referrals 24) - upgraded member
Wordlinx : $8.53 (referrals 27)
Dreamclix : $2.67 (referrals 9)
Linkgrand : $1.97 referrals 7)
Clixmedia : $1.35 (referrals 1)
Adbuddy : $1.03 (referrals 1)

As I joined each of these at a different time then it is not fair to compare them at this stage. However, each week I will post how much I have made on each program and then comparisons will be able to be made.

Cheap Advertising

If you are looking to get more exposure for your website or trying to get referrals for an online money making site then you might be interested in knowing that Global Cash Clicks is having a sale at the moment. They are charging just $1.23 for 100 views of a website of your choice for 30 seconds. If you are not worried at how long the site is viewed for then you might be interested in buying 1000 views for just $1.30.

Bux.to Update

I have had quite a few comments about Bux.to and whether I thought that my upgrade and referrals purchase have been worthwhile. I am definately getting more ads to click and my referrals seem to be pretty active at the moment. I have earned a few bonuses and my earnings are now $6.77 so still not enough to make my first withdrawal but hopefully it will not be too long now.

Update on Bux.to

It did take 2 days but Bux.to have delievered. they have upgraded my membership and added my 20 referrals. I have found that I am getting a lot more opportunities to click each day and my earnings seem to be increasing rapidly. Only three of my referrals have not been active and two of those were ones that I signed up myself. I also received a small cash bonus for buying the upgrade and referrals. I am contemplating buying a large amount of referrals now but I will probably wait until I get my first payment as it is a bit early to tell how well things will go in the future.

Selling on eBay

A great way to raise some extra money is to sell on eBay . It can be quite tricky to start with but once you have made a few sales everything becomes very easy. I woudl recommend that you start with buying a few things from ebay or at least taking a look at what is for sale. This lets you get to know what the prices are like, how the site works and how other people do things. It is best to take a look at what similar items to those you intend to sell are making, so that you know how to price your item. Also look at the descriptions os that you know what detail the potentia customers are likley to expect. I have written a guide to selling on eBay, so if you would like more information, please click here. Feel free to leave me any questions in the comments section.

Wordlinx

Wordlinx was the first pay to click site that I joined. They pay at least $0.01 per click and 20% of your referrals click earnings plus 20% of what your referrals spend on advertising. They did seem to go quiet for a while, with hardly any adverts to click. However, they have recently picked up a lot. I think this is probably sue to the massive rise in pay to click sites - advertisers are seeing the advantages of this type of ad.

They have recently started selling referrals. The ones that they sell have clicked at least 10 adverts, which means that they are definately active. They cost $1 each. They also offer an opportunity to upgrade your membership, where you get cheaper advertising and it costs only $0.50 per referral. It does cost $25 a month though, which I thought was rather pricey unless you are a regular advertiser.

Changes to Adbux

Adbux has changed over the last few days. personally I think it has been a change for the better. Firstly the appearance has changed. This mean sthat all of the copycat sites which have sprung up no longer look like it. It looks more professional which is great. Secondly te adverts have changed. There is now the option for advertisers to advertise very cheaply, to advertise at the normal price and choose which interest groups they would like to target and to advertise at a more expensive rate and target only premium members in interest groups of their choice.

As a member this has meant that I have had a lot more advertisements to click, but some of them have been paying less than I am used to. However, the time that I have to view them for is less so I am very happy about this change, it all seems very fair to me. The best thing is that I seem to be earning more money.

The only drawback is that you can no longer choose when to withdraw your earnings. They pay out once a month as long as you have reached the minimum payout amount of $10. They are also offering the option of paying by cheque.

Making the most out of your money by guest writer Michelle D'Arcy

While you are in between investments in your turn £1 to £1m project you may have some of the cash hanging around in your current account or even as cash. Remember that it is always a good idea to make money out of it, even if it is just for a few days. Open an ISA as you can put in up to £3000 a year and you can take it out whenever you want. If you get it with the same bank as your current account you can transfer the money instantaneously to spend it on the next project. If you have too high values for an ISA put it in a normal savings account. Even over a few days you can earn a few pence, and even the small amounts count, towards reaching your goal quicker. REMEMBER IF YOUR ISA IS A STOCKS AND SHARES ISA THEN THE TOTAL VALUE CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP.

My CD Has Arrived!

I have received my Suzanne Vega CD which I won in the contest on Earsucker. It took 3 weeks to reach me which is pretty slow even by Royal Mails usual standards! My husband is going to put it in the car so he can listen to it on the way to work, so I will probably get a chance to listen to it over the weekend.

Bux.to

I have decided to make an investment and take a risk! I have upgraded my membership with Bux.to and bought some referrals. There are quite a few advantages of upgrading membership including a guaranteed 20 links to click each day and being paid an extra 25% per click by either yourself or your referrals. I did some calculations and worked out that this would be a worthwhile move as long as I had some active referrals. The membership upgrade package does include 5 referrals but I decided to buy an additional 15. There are also some bonus payments for referring members and surfing ads so hopefully this will all help me to make back my investment more quickly.

What Will My New Google Rank Be?

There are rumours flying everywhere online at the moment as people are expecting Google to update its website rankings any day now. My old domain had a ranking of 4 which I was very pleased with. I am hoping that when the rankings are updated my new domain will have at least this ranking if not higher. I have been doing my best to promote it and increase the amount of links into the site - which is what seems to be the best thing to help it. I have also been adding new articles regularly. I am hoping that these search engine optimisation tricks will not only help my page rank but also my position in search engines. Only time will tell....

My Doubling Plans

I have been earnig a fair bit these last few months but not really doubling properly. I made a decision a while ago to keep my earnings for a while as I have a bathroom renovation to pay for. I am pleased with my progress with earnings and the bathroom work has certainly helped to inspire me to earn more. I have also made some interesting discoveries. When I was doubling, I was aware that the aim was not to hold onto money but to keep reinvesting it. Therefore I made some fast decisions about where to invest the money, some of which were wise and otheres that were not. Now I am thinking much harder about my investments and seem to be making much better decisions. I know that I need to learn to take risks if I want to earn more but this has taught me that a calculated risk is much better than a spur of the moment decision.

Smorty

Smorty is a blog advertising website. What that means is that it connects advertisers and bloggers and enables them to work together. The advertisers will decide on what they would like the bloggers to write about. They will decide on some anchor text and link text. Then blogger will then write an article on the topic of their choosing including all of the features that the require. Articles must be between 150 and 400 words.

They pay $6 to the blogger as long as they have published their article and it has been approved by the advertiser. Payments are sent out weekly. I have been using Smorty to blog for money for some time now and although there are not that many opportunities, they do pay up very quickly and therefore is well worth joining. So if you fancy getting paid to blog then it is well worth signing up to Smorty.

Apologies

I just had a comment on my blog fro someone mentioning that there were a lot of sponsored posts on this blog. I am sorry about this and that it probably makes the blog less interesting to read, if you just want to find out how I am doing with doubling. The truth is that they are the best way I have found to make money and as making money is the whole point of my turn one pound in to one million project, then I cannot ignore the opportunity.

Adbux Bonus Payment

I have just earned $5 from Adbux from one of my referrals upgrading their membership. I have about 120 referrals and this is the first one that has upgraded, and I am thrilled!

Bonus From Global Cash Clicks

Even though I did not win the Global Cash Clicks (unlike last month when I won the top $5 prize), they did pay me a bonus. They stated that as they had received so much advertising revenue they were going to award a few extra prizes and I got $0.50. Not a fortune, I know, but a great unexpected bonus.

Even More Changes to Adbux

Adbux is making even more improvements to the site. The first thing I have noticed is an increase in the amount of links to click this week. It has made a massive difference to my earnings. They have changed payments so they pay out just once a month if you have earn't more than the minimum payment amount of $10. They are now also paying by cheque as well as Paypal. Next week they are planning on changing the look of the site. I think this is because of all of the copy cat sites springing up. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Thank you
