I've Cashed Out...

I cashed out on Day 55 actually. My 3 remaining rented referrals expired on that same day and I cashed out very soon after. The idea of sticking around any longer really did not appeal to me. I'm somewhat of a human butterfly. I jump from one curiosity to the next. Once the curiosity and interest goes, I soon follow. It's part of who I am and it's served me well.

Over my 55 days with Neobux, I made a total of $6.76 ($2.915 was from my own clicks and $3.845 was from my own referrals).

My initial investment was $5.00 which I used to rent 16 referrals (and recycle).

With the $5.00 I put in and the $6.76 I made, I make that a profit of $1.76.

When I requested payment, Neobux took $0.13 for processing it, so I'm left with a profit of $1.63.

The payment landed in my Paypal account almost as soon as I requested it so that was way impressive.


What I would have done if I'd stayed with Neobux...

I would have re-invested the whole $6.76 and rinsed and repeated til I (hopefully) reached $90. At that point, I would have considered upgrading to golden membership.


I Came, I Saw, I Learned...

Nothing happens in vain. I'm sure I've picked up a couple of useful lessons along the way and I'm a slightly more enriched person for it. I didn't lose money, I made money (albeit a very small amount). I've also come across some good blogs/bloggers along the way too which is cool.



One more blog post coming up and I'm done.


Have a great weekend, people.

Day 55: Definitely Moving On...

I'm bored. I have no doubt in my mind that if I stay with Neobux much longer, I'll murder my own shadow.

My referrals expire some time today (or early tomorrow). After that, I'm cashing out. I was gonna wait til I reached $7.00, but nah-ah.


In the coming days, I'll write another blog post to wrap it all up.

Day 50: Update...

I'm rarely getting any clicks from my remaining 3 rented referrals now. Made 3 cents from them in the past 5 days or so (it's cool. I'm on my way out anyway). Most of my daily earnings have therefore been from my own clicks for which I'm making an average of 5 cents a day.

That's about it, really. My rentals expire in about 5 days and I think I'm gonna wrap it up after that (Sept end at the very latest) as I'm well and truly bored with Neobux. The boredom far outweighs the dough.

Day 44: Saying Bye to 13 Refs Today...

13 of my rentals expire later on today, so I'll be left with 3 referrals. I don't plan on renewing any once they expire.

My referrals aren't clicking as much anymore. Most have a click average of under 2.0. I get round about the same daily amount I got when I only had 3 referrals. Referrals are human. I can imagine they have other things to do besides clicking away. In any case, no recycling has been or will be applied. Just gonna let them run out.


I'm getting pretty close to my boredom threshold with Neobux; about to climb over.

Day 40: Have I Given Neobux a Real Chance?

...and do I care if I haven't?


If I move on, will I be moving away from a potential opportunity?

If I stay, will the monotony drive me up the wall?

Hmm.

Questions. Questions.


Anyhoo, in other news, my referrals must have stayed in on Saturday (Day 38) 'cos I made 21.5 cents that day (incl my clicks). Sunday was particularly low at 9 cents. And today, it's only 5.5 cents so far.

Ah well.


We'll see what the rest of the week has in store.


See ya!

Day 36: Aah, So That's What Profit Sounds Like...

I broke even on Day 34 which was cool. I don't need to do anything else except watch the pennies add up.

Total made so far is $5.305 which means I've made back my $5 investment plus 30.5 cents. I'm still getting at least 4 cents a day from viewing my own ads, so I should make at least another $0.72 over the next 18 days for that. That's not including my referral clicks.


It's looking likely that I will move on once my last rental expires (in 18 days) as I have my eye on two sites I wanna give a go. I might extend my stay 'til round the end of September, but that's it. If so, my last day will be on a Thursday or the 27th or 28th as Thurday's my favourite day and I have a thing about the number 7. (yes, I do have my fair share of oddities!)
