Since I cashed out at Neobux, I haven't looked back. Don't miss the site one bit.
What I'm Now Concentrating On...
1) FREELANCE WRITING: I've been writing for clients since Jan '08 (mostly blog and article writing). Used to earn good money with it but I scaled back this year as it wasn't my passion and I wanted to pursue other things. I don't wanna get back fully into freelance writing, but I wouldn't mind getting back into a writing routine of 2-3 articles every week or so. I've already started: last week, I wrote two pieces which netted me $100 and I received another $100 order today.
2) CLIXSENSE: I joined Clixsense (a paid-to-click site) back in May and was never really active on it. However, I recently reactivated my account, upgraded to premium membership ($10) and so far so good, I've made $4.70.
Clixsense suits me better as I can get direct referrals from the get-go, the upgrade-to-premium membership fee is a lot cheaper ($10) and I don't have to click on links today in order to earn from my referrals tomorrow.
The downside, though, is that Clixsense only pays via cheque. I can live with that as I've received cheque payments from outside the UK before (GlobalTestMarket.com, ACOP.com). Just takes a while to receive it, that's all. Clixsense's minimum payout ($10) is a bit higher than Neobux's and I think there's a processing fee too. However, you can set the minimum payout higher than $10 which is what I've done. I think it'll be more productive that way.
If I get insanely bored with Clixsense somewhere along the way (before reaching payout), I'll just use any earnings I've made at that point to buy advertising.
3) IM REPORT CARD: I've found this site to be incredibly informative as well as being a good money-earner. You can read about internet-marketing products, websites, people & business opportunities to find out if they're legit or a scam. Apart from internet-marketing reviews, there are also reviews about PTCs, GPTs, survey sites and hosting companies. You're also encouraged (and paid) to share any personal experiences you have of the sites/products, etc. they've reviewed. You can get paid in a number of other ways too. To read more about IM Report Card, read my write-up about it here.
4) XOMBA: I must have joined Xomba last year or earlier this year, but I never really used it. It's a bookmarking/article-writing site. Earnings are made via Adsense revenue share. I've read that if used well, it's possible to make a sizable amount of pocket change on Xomba and at times more than that. So, I'm gonna give it a proper go this month up until the end of the year.
Whatever you choose to do online, I wish you bucketloads of success with it (or at the very least a valuable lesson learnt).
I believe it's possible to earn a good living online. It's a belief I've never been able to shake off. And so a'ma keep on trying.

1. ClixSense. I've been thinking about upgrading in ClixSense too. My main question, though, is whether the ads will make it worth it. Now that you've upgraded, do you have more ads to click? Do you think it was worth the upgrade?
2. IMRC. I've found IMRC to be frustrating. Whenever I finally find a site that I've used, the comments are nearly always closed. And, if they aren't, I don't feel that I've had enough experience with the site to write a comment for it. What have you been doing to be getting those $30-ish payments?
Hi shyguy,
Good to hear from you.
Clixsense: Hmm, well for me, upgrading on Clixsense has been worth it. The number of ads you get with an upgrade depends on your location. I got about 270 ads when I upgraded (I'm in the UK). I suspect US residents get the most.
Now I've clicked thru the 270 ads, I get b/w 3 cents to 18 cents worth of ads a day. I guess it could possibly be more depending on how frequently an individual logs onto the site. Out of the ads I get, I'd say about a quarter of those tend to be premium-member ads. I've made $6.14 so far and my upgrade doesn't expire til next Sept so it's not bad going.
IM Report Card: With IMRC, my advice would be to either subscribe to their feed or visit as often as you can, so when the really popular new reviews come up, you can get your comment in there early.
I don't think you should underestimate the experience you have with a site as it could prove useful. For e.g., I've commented on traffic-exchange sites I'm relatively new to and it's been approved.
My first 2 payments consisted mostly of my own comments, ticking other people's comments and suggesting new sites. As I began to spread the word about IMRC, subsequent payments came from my referrals' earnings (mostly) and then my comments/suggestions.
My advice is to try as much as you can to reach payout, then promote the site based on your experience with it and your proof of payment.
Take care and good luck...
