You Will Not Get Rich From This Blog

I swear I have way more to talk about and share than just ClixSense and NeoBux, but they have both been hot topics the last couple weeks. So Yeah, this wasn’t the post I intended to write but, here ya go..

So it’s at the point in the night where I know I’m not going to be very productive. After spending a couple hours replying to emails, comments and reading other bloggers ramblings ( BoneHead ), I’m tired, but feeling the need to quickly put something together before bed.

Whenever I write a post about NeoBux, whether it’s the main topic or just a casual mention, the majority of the emails or comments I receive basically express the same thoughts.

“NeoBux is Great but I need a strategy for renting referrals.”

“It’s impossible to pick up referrals because everyone and their dog is advertising it.”

My reply to the rental thang is always; “Try not to use much of your own money when playing with rentals” and “Use your earnings to manage you rentals instead.” Honestly, I can’t endorse any strategy other than that, so… um, yeah. Good luck.

As far as picking up new direct referrals for NeoBux, or any popular program for that matter. Remember that everyday, thousands of people like you and I hit the internet looking for ways to supplement their income, and make money. I’m only assuming. So although a lot of the usual crowd and veterans have probably already joined ( whats hot ), theirs always a “Hot” group of new folks ready to join your NeoBux downline, or whatever your promoting. Getting frustrated and feeling like we’re wasting your time is natural. So don’t feel like your alone. Try new things and learn from others ( wink wink ). Or just give up and find a new hobby. I’ve heard Solitaire is a great way to pass the time.

Anyways, I always have that itch to spend money on advertising but I’ve learned to control what I spend, and use mostly (mostly) my earnings from other programs. Like on Sunday when I spent $24 on an ad promoting NeoBux on ClixSense. I re-ran my previous ad that I talked about in the last post, and just to illustrate my point that I mentioned above, I managed to wrangle up 26 new referrals.

Now I usually don’t advertise on Sundays. It’s not a religious thing, it’s just that a lot of times my ads won’t actually post until Monday. I hate that because then I’m then lumped in with everyone else’s ads and I feel like I don’t have the full attention of the clicker ( potential new referral ). ClixSense has been approving ads more frequently and several times a day on Sunday. So I went with advertising on Sunday and it payed off. Yay Me!!

Going to bed now, not even going to check stats.

Night all

Daily Babble, I Advertise, Promote This!, Will Work for Pennies

Well the Christmas decorations are boxed up for another year. The tree has been dismantled and was carted away this morning. Now all that needs to be done is moving sixteen large containers of holiday cheer up to the attic. Then I can officially call an end to the holiday season ( even though it’s officially over ).

So what I want to do in this post ( while waiting for me to officially end the holiday season ), is talk a bit about the programs, resources and tools I’ll be moving forward with and focusing on in 2010.

This past year has no doubt been a pain in the ass for a lot of us, both in real life and online. We’ve seen our share of programs and opportunities come and go. Many scammers took advantage of the weak and desperate, and there were a few programs that opened with the best intentions but couldn’t survive.

So what will I be focusing on this year? Well first and foremost I won’t be joining many new programs. There are a couple that I’m interested in because I know the program owners and I’ve been dying to add them to my portfolio ( err bookmarks ), but other than those few, I’m pretty happy with my current favorites.

Traffic Wave of course. Brian Rooney provides an amazing affiliate program and Auto-Responder service. If you haven’t been paying attention these last couple months, most of the big dogs have switched from Aweber to TW for their auto-responder needs.

My Instant Biz… Speaking of Traffic Wave. TW is MIB’s main program. Or at least that’s what it started off as. Margarete has grown MIB this year and created “TOAN Advantage”, “PTC Advantage” and “Escalating Biz”. They all support each other and really provides for one hell of a downline builder. Although, I would change a few things, My Instant Biz is definitely worth adding to your online earnings arsenal. I love most the promotional tools ( most ) and of course the no hype atmosphere.

Since we are talking down line builders ( sort of ). I’m absolutely in love with Affiliate Funnel. Every worthwhile resource, the best programs, an opportunity to have up to six of you favorite earners on one easy to promote page ( **hint** promote your “Your Programs” Page on PTC’s ), and of course the support and guidance that the forum provides, as well as Affiliate Funnel itself. Affiliate Funnel really puts everything in one awesome package and allows you to promote yourself as well ( we’ll talk branding later =P ).

To be honest, The three programs above pretty much cover everything for me. Traffic Wave is not only a stand alone Auto-Responder ( for your Newsletter or what not ) but also has one the best affiliate programs around. Brian’s been paying for ten years now. Affiliate Funnel has all my favorites wrapped up in one convenient, and brightly lit package ( even a spot for TW ), and My Instant Biz of course focuses on Traffic Wave ( are you getting the hint yet? ) as well as “The Online Ad Network”, and many many others.

Oh, and by the way. I actually have two Traffic Wave accounts. One for Traffic Wave itself. Just because I have an amazing up line ( horay for spillover ), and one for My Instant Biz.

That’s it for me today. Within the next couple days I’ll officially put an end to 2009 and give you my top PTC picks for 2010 and beyond. I think some of you might be surprised.

Hey Everyone..

So I thought I’d skip the video today and just type out today’s post. Actually, I did make several attempts at making a new video but as usual, several factors preventing me from finishing it; burping, sniffling, saying “epiphany” instead of “epitome”, and of course just talking to much. So we’ll save the video for my next project.

The last couple days were huge for me. Not only did I win $70 in the big 70,000 member giveaway over at Traffic Splash, but I also picked up another Traffic Splash upgrade ( thanks Eddy ).

and of course received a bit of PayPal fundage a couple hours after requesting. I’m telling you guys, No one pays faster than Paul so Join Traffic Splash and surf, promote and enjoy. Don’t forget to claim your Surf Rewards everyday.

Now lets move on to the big ClixSense news. We NOW earn 10% from our first level premium members click earnings!! Just as long as your a Premium member yourself, which shouldn’t be a problem since it’s only $10 a year and pretty much the best deal out there!! Anyways, 10% on clicks is a huge deal, especially if you have several ( I have 24 ) upgraded members in your first level!! Now, I’ve been harping on you guys to join and upgrade in ClixSense for eight months now. Now you really have no excuse. It’s simply one of the best programs out there. Check out Eddy Salomon’s recent video HERE, and read his post on ClixSense… and if you missed it or forgot about it, check out my previous post and video Here ( it’s right under the CashCrate video ).

I have a ton of really cool things to share this week as well as a big Video Series I’m working on. So if your not already subscribed to this blog, you might want to do so.

Talk to you guys later.

P.S. .. I’ve received a couple negative comments about my recent interest in a couple matrix type programs. I’m going to address this issue in a future post. In the meantime I added a link in the sidebar for “The Federal Trade Commission’s” Report on Pyramid Schemes. I thought it was a good read and it has a lot of great information in it. Although I feel that we really need an updated version.
