You Will Not Get Rich From This Blog

It’s really no secret that I love Paid to Click / Paid to Read programs. I honestly feel and have proven that they are not only an awesome way to earn money, but an even awesomer way to build downlines in other programs. Most of the PTC’s I’m involved in allow me to convert my earnings into advertising credits on any given day. Which means I get to advertise a few times a week. The more I advertise ( promote my affiliate links ) the more money I earn from my referrals. The more money I earn from my referrals, the more I get to advertise for more referrals and so on and so on. Basically, when my referrals make money, I make money. It’s really a win win for the patient and persistent.

So when do I get to enjoy some of that money my referrals have so graciously earned me?

Well if you read my last post ( after the talk about dogs, wieners and tee shirts ), that money came in handy this month when we were a bit strapped for cash. Sure I was a bit bummed that my ad budget wasn’t what I hoped it would be, but keeping food on the table, the internet bill paid and gas in my 4Runner was a bit more of a priority. June is going to be a lot more fun. More advertising for me ( $$ ).

Anyways…

Aside from loving and understanding the value of PTC / PTR programs. I also love down line builders. Throw the two together and you’ve got my attention. Which brings me to..

Free Internet Money.Biz

What is it?
It’s basically a downline builder just for Paid to Click programs, with the exception of one other non PTC program way at the bottom.

One of the main advantages of using “down line builders”, is that we get to promote several of our favorite programs at once through one convenient link ( URL ). Potentially gaining more referrals for multiple programs with less effort. The disadvantage is that we take the emphasis off promoting just one opportunity at a time.

Why I like Free Internet Money.Biz“, is because it focuses mostly on “well established” Paid to Click programs. Primarily my top seven!! Hits4Pay, Link Grand, “MatrixMails”, NeoBux, ClixSense, WordLinx, and “AdPaid”. I’m a bit bummed that “donkeymails” didn’t make the list, but until I create my own downline builder, I’m not going to complain too much. Although, I do question a couple of the PTC’s on the list, I did join a couple new one’s.

I’ll only endorse, for now, the program’s I mentioned above.

I also love the fact that’s it’s FREE to join and use, has some great instructional video’s and is “hype” free. The owner and creator of Free Internet Money never suggests that we can make any more than $600-$800 a month. Of course our efforts decide our actual earnings potential, six to eight hundred dollars a month is definitely an attainable and realistic goal.

So yeah, big thumbs up for Free Internet Money.Biz.

Hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable memorial day weekend. My wife and kids are out of town so I get a bit of “me” time. Which means I get to work work and work. At least the house will be clean for a couple days.

Oh and here’s a little tip. Don’t neglect your surveys! Building an advertising budget ( seed money, working capital ) to build your down lines is as simple as focusing on making an additional $2 a day ( $60 a month ). Where to spend that money is up to you, but I highly recommend ClixSense.

So we’ve been throwing around the idea of getting a dog the last couple weeks. I sort of had my heart set on a Shiba Inu, but since I have young children I’ve learned that, that particular breed might not be my best choice. Another breed we’ve been tossing around ( not literally ) is the Dachshund. Although I really don’t want a Dachshund, I would love to have a shirt that says “Beware of my Wiener”. It sort of fits my sense of humor and a Dachshund would easily fit through our cats ( Gray ) cat doors. Unfortunately Dachshunds ( badger dogs ) our born diggers, and I’d be pretty pissed if I came home one day to find my garden looking like a mine field. So I’ll sadly give up the opportunity to wear an almost offensive tee shirt…..damn.

We’ve pretty much decided that an Australian Sheppard would be a perfect fit for our family. Unfortunately our back yard is a bit small and since my wife and I really aren’t home most of the day, it would be totally selfish of us to own a dog ( of any breed ) at this point. So until one or both of us are work at home parents and buy a house with a much larger back yard, adding a new family member will have to wait. Don’t tell my four year old daughter that though, she thinks we are getting a puppy for Christmas. Which according to her calender is sometime tomorrow.

So yeah. Add “To someday own a dog” to the list of “Why I want to succeed online”. Also, add.. “to someday have a lawn large enough to justify a riding lawn mower”. That’s really my little dream. Me riding around cutting the lawn for an hour listening to the Giants vs Dodgers. Of course I’d have an ice chest and cup holder installed, just in case I got thirsty ( just in case ).

Anyways. Anyone who owns a home knows that you don’t actually “own” your home. Rather your home owns you. Luckily we purchased our house newly built so we haven’t had to make any major repairs or renovations in the last six years. Although little things like property tax’s pop up a couple times a year. For us it means $1500 twice a year. Or something like that ( ask my wife she writes the checks ). So that was $1500 less this month that we normally would have enjoyed. So our funds were a bit short this month.

Now, if you’ve been following this blog for the last couple months, you know I’ve been ranting about reinvesting the money we make online back into making more money. I look at it like stocking a store full of inventory. If I don’t keep my shelves stocked ( referrals, subscriptions, etc..) I’ll never see the real money in the future. Well the last couple weeks saw very little growth in regards to “inventory”, or rather growing my earnings. Since we were a bit short on funds, my paypal debit card and the earnings I’ve been making online all went for things like gas, food, and the occasional beer. So Paypal saves the day! Or rather, my efforts saved the last couple weeks. A minor set back in my plans for internet domination but I’m glad I had those online earnings to cover things the past couple weeks. Really sucks though because I had some brilliant plans for that money.

Oh well, stay the course and move on to the next week.

That’s all for me tonight.. just wanted to get a post up and ramble a bit. I think I’m all caught up with email and comment reply’s. Hopefully I didn’t forget anyone.

Oh crap… I’m not going to be available for the next couple days and I totally almost forgot to share the hot news this week ( mostly according to me ).

Hits4Pay is throwing a ton of daily emails at us the last couple weeks. It’s nice that a few ( dozen ) of my referrals that I picked up five years ago are still active. Cha Ching for me!!

I was cleaning up my bookmarks a few days ago and ran across a cool little website I joined a few months ago. “Instant Cash Sweepstakes”. I think I’ll keep this one. Basically, you complete short questionnaires and are rewarded with tickets, coins, and even cash ( my biggest reward was three cents ). Coins are used to purchase tickets, and tickets are used for the daily $50 lottery draw. What I really like about this simple program is that I earn a matching bonus from my referrals wins ( You ). Payout to PayPal is at $2 and I don’t see a limit on how often we can cash out. Cool, guess I’ll add this one to my list of “98 things I want to promote today”…

Okay, really going to bed now. There’s more I wanted to get to, and share.. but I’m really tired. Perhaps next week I’ll write before One A.M.!!

So as we move into Summer I wanted to really get you guys ( and gals ) moving in the right direction with your online earnings. I’m going to stay realistic here and I do apologize for not making you rich today. Most of you who follow me know my blog subtitle by now… “…when I’m rich I’ll let you know”

“This is Not a Race”. Being desperate and using credit cards is not a good mix. Spending Money you can not comfortably afford to lose is NEVER a good idea. Of course, our online earnings adventure moves along a whole hell of a lot faster when we have money for things like advertising, upgrades, and subscriptions to our favorite programs.

So lets build a bit of seed money ( working capital ).

I want to use the well established Treasure Trooper in this example. Yes, this is an example. There are tons of fantastic programs out today, you might have your favorite; Treasure Trooper is mine.

Treasure Trooper hit the scene in 2005 as the “Get Paid To / Incentivized” craze began really taking off. Since then, they have never missed a payment ( at least for me ) and have added several different opportunities for making money over the years. Throw in a very active and energetic forum and your good to go.

Lets start with a realistic half hour a day. This should be enough to produce a nice $40 – $50 a month PayPal payment. You can do more, you can do less. It’s entirely up to you.

Daily Surveys … There are several survey opportunities available every day. The first is a seventy five cent survey. I’ve done quite a few of these and I can honestly tell you that I’ve never spent more that thirty minutes per survey. So that’s a quick seventy five cents earned. It takes a couple days for your survey earnings to appear in your account balance, so don’t freak out when your not compensated immediately. Oh and if you don’t qualify for a particular survey you can keep trying until you do qualify.

Cash Clicks …. As of today there have been over twenty clicks to view a day. At five cents a pop, that’s $1.00 + a day. You can not cash out on “Cash Clicks” alone, so knocking out a few short surveys a week is a good option for making payout every month.

Update!!!…..Cash Clicks are back but in limited supply.. still good news and FREE Money

Completing Offers ( that your interested in )… I can’t tell you which offers to complete, but I can tell you that I rarely complete an offer that I’m not interested in. Still a great way to add some quick cash to your balance. When I wanted a Discover card I went through Treasure Trooper and made a quick $55 and when I switched to Direct TV that was a nice $180 incentive.

The Referral Program… Of course today’s post is titled “Creating a monthly ad budget with Treasure Trooper“. So reserve some of that not so hard earned “working capital” to pick up a few referrals for Treasure Trooper as well. You’ll get paid 20% first level and 5% second level referral earnings. Sorry, but we don’t get paid for our referrals “Cash Clicks” and “Surveys”.

So as you can see, it really isn’t that difficult to create a nice chunk of advertising money every month. This is just one example. We’ll talk about “converting earnings” and the such in future posts. **Hint** check out the additional established programs below.

The important part is that your using some or most of your earnings to create more earnings month after month by building down lines.

Hopefully your focusing on building down lines in not only Treasure Trooper but also other well established programs like ClixSense, LinkGrand, “MatrixMails”, WordLinx to name a few.

Wow, it’s 2 AM. Guess I should go to sleep so I can wake up in four hours.

Help me win a Swag Tee Shirt. Yes! I finally joined SwagBucks and I really want the official SwagBucks Tee Shirt. Actually I really want a lot of things, but the shirt is my first goal. Thanks Eddy for the great program, I’ve made it my homepage.
