You Will Not Get Rich From This Blog

I’ve got a zit on the tip of my tongue!!

I know this is not the best way to start a post but it’s really annoying and painful. I’m a chronic gum chewer and I’m finding it very difficult to chew gum with this damn bump at the end of my tongue, let alone concentrate on anything else. I’ve tried biting into it and I’ve tried pinching it; painfully with no luck.

I know it will be gone soon, but for now it’s pissing me off.

Anyways… sorry for grossing you guys out today.

By now most of you have heard the news that ClixSense has come to an agreement with PayPal. PayPal will soon be accepted for advertising, payouts and everything else. I feel this is going to be a huge addition to an already awesome program!!

Although, I previously felt that giving up the eight levels in exchange to have PayPal added was a good idea, I’m pretty damn happy that they are keeping the current commission model and adding a very popular payment processor.

Will this bring more ads to click? There’s already a steady stream of ads to click on everyday ( pretty much every hour ), but I can only assume that giving everyone a new way to purchase ads will be a good thing all around!! I’ve made it very clear that 90% of my promotions are done on ClixSense and there’s a reason…. Advertising on CS Works. , I’m sure there will be a ton of new advertisers taking advantage of the new payment option; but once again, I’m only assuming.

Will this bring more upgrades? I’ve had several of you mention that they would jump on the chance to upgrade when PayPal is accepted. So it’s going to a good thing for all parties to have another way to pay for upgrades.

So yeah, I’m excited; not only for the added PayPal option but for the new site as well.

Here’s a snippit of the latest announcement:

After going back and forth with PayPal and finally getting to their Acceptable Use Department, explaining our business model and showing them what it is that we do exactly they have agreed that we can use them to accept our payments with our current model. So, not only will we be keeping the 8 level affiliate program for upgrade commissions but we will also be accepting PayPay payments for ads, upgrades and ClixGrid purchases. We will also offer withdrawals to your PayPal account too.

Pretty cool!!

Have a great weekend everyone.

So I’m working on a page that will not only be shown as a link in the sidebar of this blog but also at the top of this blog under the header. I’m still in the editing phase and I have another version in the works. I can be a bit wordy sometimes and this page is getting a bit longer than I’d hoped. As always feedback is appreciated. I got some great feedback from Eddy over at Work at Home No Scams, but I’m a bit curious to know what the rest of you think.

Ya know, I honestly expect to win at least once a day over at Instant Cash Sweepstakes. Of course I don’t, but that’s how I play. A couple times a day or more, I visit the site and enter my coins for the $2 draw that’s held six ( 6!!! ) times a day.

I answer a few super quick polls and let my tickets ride for the daily $50 prize as well. I never convert my coins for more tickets. I get plenty of tickets from my matching referral wins and by answering the polls.

Anyways… I won the $50 prize a few months ago and was pretty darn thrilled when I won it again earlier this month… sweet! Expected and Unexpected at the same time.

Like I said though “I Play to Win!” Everyday. Do I really expect to win everyday? Nope… but then again if I didn’t play and participate I would never know.

Read Instant Cash Sweepstakes… Just Got Awesomer!

That’s it for today. Short and simple and now I’m off to enjoy my Sunday ( chores, gym and family type stuff ).

Oh I forgot to mention that we picked up some new family members earlier this month.

Guinea Pigs!!

I was a bit reluctant at first, thinking that “Oh Great, Now I have something else to think about everyday”. To be honest though, they are actually pretty cool little pets.

I love how they communicate and have quickly become a part of the family.

Meet Gabriella and CoaCoa. Gab’s is the white one and is my favorite so far. I’m not sure if he ( yes.. He ) has adopted me or if I’ve adopted him, but he’s definitely got me wrapped around his furry little paw.

I remember the first time I joined and upgraded on ClixSense. Within a couple hours of paying the $10 for a years upgrade ( best deal on the net by the way ), I had received over 500 ads to click on. This took me a couple days to get through, and I was more than happy to see that immediate boost in earnings.

I remember the second year I upgraded my account; no additional ads. No biggy, I really didn’t expect any. Just happy to be upgraded for another year.

Last week I upgraded for a Third Year!! Guess what? Over four hundred ads to click on!! Awesome and unexpected. Actually, I had an immediate 460 ads in addition to the normal daily ads. This took me a bit longer to get through, but I finally clicked ‘em all. Love that boost in earnings and the extra advertising funds.

So what’s the big news?

My favorite program is undergoing some major changes! Personally I like everything about ClixSense, so I’m completely happy with the site as is.

Since just before Christmas the admin has been announcing little tidbits of things to come:

Adding a Forum – This should be huge! A forum is a welcome addition to any program. It allows members to share and lend support. It gives Admin a means of addressing issues, announcing upcoming events, and communicating with it’s members. So bravo for this!

Possibly adding PayPal – This doesn’t really affect me all that much since I use my PayPal debit card through Google Checkout. Still, I’m thinking that most of us don’t have this luxury and being able to directly use paypal for advertising and upgrades will be a welcome addition.

New Look – Honestly I really like the look now. In my opinion, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it, but Hey, I’ll get used to it.

So yeah, I’m looking forward to the new changes and additions and my fourth, fifth and tenth upgrade. Kudo’s for ClixSense for constantly moving forward!!
