Most recommended PTC sites - something I would have done long time go

I am done with the last touches for what I called "The most recommended PTC" - a site to promote the most reliable and money-making PTC sites.
Like I said in the post title, this is something I should have done long time ago, but for some reasons let it for later.
Now the time come and here I am - having my own site for you, that I intend to keep up for ever as a tool for you to be up to date with the sites there are most profitable in the PTC industry.

I started with top 10 free money making sites, including the most reliable, eligible or at least the lowest chance to waste money for nothing PTC sites.

Everybody knows by know I am a fan of Clixsense - just follow the posts of my blog and you'll realize there is no doubt about it. There is one and only one reason for this - they are doing the most honest business out there.

Neobux is something that only a fool could ignore from such a top of most recommended PTC list . The true is Neobux is the leader in terms of number of members, traffic, advertising results, etc, etc etc.

The site of the day, however, is Probux. There are voices against and voices for this site. However, noboday can contest that this is the money making site of the day. Some people say this is a new version of old PTC sites  that turned in scamming their members few years ago. They even say the owner is the same. Maybe it is. Maybe it's not. However, this site cannot be missed from the most recommended PTC site of the day, as it is the most profitable PTC site of the moment.

For the rest of the list I will let you discover yourself.
Send me any comments about the site, the promoted PTC sites themselves, and about anything you like or not, including this post.

Good luck every body! Let's make some money!

Why should you join Clixsense

Many times people make research on google or any other searching engines to check if Clixsense is reliable, if it's a scam or not. I hope this post will help any of them get to the right conclusion about this PTC Company. Clixsense started in February 2007, so a long way to run and this is from the beginning a good point for any PTC out there.

Before coming to you with more reasons you should consider Clixsense as an Elite PTC site, let me make it short for you: Clixsense is not a scam. They are paying their members for all these years since its inception. Clixsense developed permanently in terms of layouts, commission earnings and all those changes were always increased their member benefits and make the site better and better.

There were never any issues with delayed or missing payments. Myself I've been paid several times by Clixsense and I never had any problems. You must know they don't make instant payments, like Neobux does, but they pay all existing requests on each Monday, every week. 

If you're still concerned about Clixsense is paying or not, just make a Google search for payment proofs, or check my payment proofs, or check their forum and see how many people are paid by Clixsense

So why Clixsense is a good place to join

So you have seen the facts in terms of payments. Now let's see why joining Clixsense is a great decision. You can earn from 8 levels of referrals, and there is no limit to how many you can get.  Ads are available for everyone. Even standard members can earn up to $0.02 per ad, unlike Neobux that pays you only $0.001. Actually, Clixsense standard members are having at least one $0.01 ad every day and this is guaranteed.

Next step should be to upgrade your membership. It cost only $17 a year and it gives you four guaranteed $0.01 ads daily and access to more ads that are advertised only to Premium upgraded members. Compare this to the $90 you need to pay on Neobux to get the Golden membership, not mention the $890 they require for the Ultimate membership.

You can also advertise on Clixsense. They offer cheap advertising packages for members and advertisers for as low as $2.40 of PTC ads. However, the cheapest options in terms of cost per click is the $17 one entire month on Clixgrid advertising.

One very nice feature they have is adding campaign names to your referral link when you advertise on other sites, so it’s very easy to know what ad or what site is more efficient for advertising your Clixsense referral link. If this is just nice for low volume advertisers, it is extremly usefull for massive advertising.

As briefly mention above, there is also the Clixgrid feature that allows you to earn more money. This is like a game of chances and luck where you can win prizes in money after viewing ads. You have up to 25 chances each day you can use and prizes are starting from $0.10 and can grow up to $5.00. I know somebody that won the $5.00 prize from the first try, but this is very rare.

Clixgrid shows up like a big picture divided into squares. You can choose what square to click so one ad is displayed. Standard members have 25 chances each day and they must watch each ad for at least 10 seconds. Premium (upgraded) members have 50 chances each day and only 5 seconds required to watch each ad.

You may say, “Ok, but such features are available to many other PTC sites”. True, but Clixsense comes recently with two other very important source of earning: Tasks and Offers.

Tasks are collections of small questions you must answer on varoiuos themes like “Categorize daily deals”, “Find phone numbers for specified business”, “Decide gender of Twitter members”, etc Beware you need to understand English to be able to complete tasks, or at least to have a handy english translator, otherwise you will not know what you have to do.

Offers are even better than tasks because you can complete an offer in only few minutes and earn dollars in short time.

However tasks and offers are subject to availability as they are geotargeted. If some tasks may be available worldwide, offers are only available in some countries

What are the downsides of Clixsense?

There is no perfect system on this world, even more on PTC world. We have seen the whole list of features Clixsense provides to its members. So what are the bad sides of this system?

Maybe the more important thing is Clixsense doesn’t rent or sell referrals. You need to find them yourself. This could be very challenging for most people. It is considered tough for many members who doesn't start their searches in their own circle of relatives, friends, neighbors, etc.

So how will you make money on Clixsense?

Why should you join my Clixsense team?

I left this on purpose at the end as this is very special but is reserved to those of you that read my entire article. There is one more feature Clixsense provides to it's members and this is the possibility to upgrade your referrals. I am one of those members that understand the benefits of being Premium and also the difficulties some of the members may have to pay themselves for their upgrade. 

I paid the upgrading fee for 4 of my referrals until now, during my first 6 months of Clixsense membership. This is not easy to achieve for you and is up to me to decide who and when I will upgrade. However, there are some basic things my upgraded members done - constantly active on clicking daily ads, inviting their own refs, and so on. In a single word I want to make sure you will be an active member even after upgrading as I cannot afford to pay for somebody and than that sombody to decide to leave the site.

Won the weekly tasks contest

Well, not exactly won but I finish in the Top 10 contest, on the 6th position to be more exacly :D. And I'm so happy!!

What I did won is an extra 2 dollar prize from Clixsense. Only 6 more tasks completed and I could get on the 5th position, rewarded with $5 instead.
Last Monday I was tired after a long day at work. You know how Mondays are so as soon as I got home I got a short refreshing sleep until 11PM.
When I wake up and checked what's new on Clixsense tasks, I found one I always loved to complete - Decide Yes or No on product manuals.
I start doing this task. It is so simple. You are given a scanned picture usually a cover of a manual and text converted from the scanned document. All you need to do is to check if the document is a manual or not (could be only a brochure, some technical specification etc). If the document is a manual, you also have to the company name producing that product.
I successfully completed about 200 in less than 3 hours and that put me in the top.
That week I was also lucky because tasks were not available like some other weeks. I say I was lucky because the rest of the days I was quite busy at work,so once I get home in the evening I doing task would have been the last thing I would like to do.

Until Sunday evening I succeed to complete other 295 tasks so I kept my position in weekly top 10 and here I am, one other the 10 winners.

I've made this way over 20 dollars last week, including a 5$ bonus (for accumulating another 50$ made on tasks).

For those of you who don't know, Clixsense initiated a weekly contest for it's members.
Initially this was rewarding $50 only the first winner, but later they decided to reward all of the top 10 "taskers". They kept the $50 for the weekly winner and add prizes for next 9 :

• 2nd get $20
• 3rd get $10
• 4th and 5th get $5
• 6th to 10th get $2 each

You can do it, too! It's fun and easy

My online earnings are increasing. Not because the number of referrals decided to follow me increased, but because Clixsense, the main site I'm active on, implemented the new feature called Tasks.
I'm very close to have $50 from completing tasks! I would have earned more if I would start completing since the day they became available.

My favorite task is to decide the category of online business deals. You are presented an online deal - like let's say 10% off for spending on food and drinks at Best Restaurant. First you have several options to choose from regarding the area people might be interested. There are 3 options for local and 2 for national deals. In case it is local, you may select local, or local for a region, local for traveling (I never had to choose the last one). In case of national deals, you have one simple national and another for national travel deals.
You must decide for 8 such deals in order to complete one task and get paid. By the way, you earn 6 cents for completing one tasks like this.

Did you know?

ClixSense doesn't set any limits on the amount of ads you can view per day.

Even more, Clixsense set a minimum number of $0.01 ads you can find available everyday. Beyond those Clixsense is so popular and reliable as more and more advertisers put their business introduction pages and sites here.

ClixSense doesn't set any limits on the amount of direct referrals you can have.

Just invite as many to benefit next to you. Start with your near friends, relatives and so on. Step on further and use your social networking connections to increase the number of referrals and make your Clixsense organization even stronger. 

ClixSense doesn't set any limits on the amount in indirect referrals you can have. 

Help your direct referrals on their way to success. Teach them the ways to get more and more referrals starting from your own experience. The deeper you go with this habit, the stronger your downline become and are your earnings. Encourage having up to 8 levels of referrals and don't be surprised when those levels start grow day by day  

ClixSense doesn't make you wait to do certain things like refer others.

Clixsense was always a pioneer by introducing of new and new ways to earn money and experience before any other did. 

ClixSense was the company that started the PTC craze in 2007.

Many of the member register at that times are still there. What else can better prove this is not just another PTC like many others out there? 

ClixSense has some of the lowest advertising rates in the industry.

Nothing less true than this statement. If you're looking for the cheapest but also very effective way for advertising, use advertising on Clixgrid. Your site will receive thousands of views during 30 days, averaging 15,000+ total views, that's less than $0.00113 per view! Have only $2.40 available for advertising? You can still advertise on Clixsense! And you can get 1,000 UNIQUE visitors reading your ad. The highest advertising package you can buy is for 500,000 views. Can you imagine this is only $690? Want more than half million? Feel free and go further buying several packages like this.  

ClixSense doesn't charge a ridiculous amount of money to upgrade your account.

You have only $17 to spend for upgrading to Premium. Compare this with 90$ as is the minimum upgrade on Neodev's PTC system, or $49.95 on North Owl Network.

ClixSense has no maximum cashout. If you can make it, we will pay it!

Did you succeed on growing your Clixsense earnings at hundreds or even thousands of dollars weekly? No problem with that. You get paid the entire requested amount. The nice thing is Clixsense is using part of your withdraw to cover the extra fees payment processors required but at special lower rates.

ClixSense doesn't have multiple membership levels, why pay more when you don't have to?

No, Sir. Just one. Want to be up there? Pay that small fee requested for one year or two and you're already there the second the made the payment. Tell me after one month if you need an extra upgrading level. 

ClixSense doesn't use a cheap purchased script to run our business, our site is 100% custom built by OUR employeed developers.

What else do you expect from those that actually invented PTC? There are so many PTC sites these days out there you would think they were made by copy-paste - it's only the name that is different. Would you trust such a site? 

ClixSense doesn't use a shared hosting server, we have multiple dedicated servers.

You don't wait while on Clixsense. You don't have dead times while clicking on ads.  Everything runs like the server is next to you. Same sensation when rising tickets to helpdesk. You can leave with the feeling that Admin is right behind you waiting for you just to finish your message and press Enter. Don't believe it? Try it your self! 

Otherwise how do you it's possible to statistics available down to the last $0.0001 earned? You just don't find this anywhere else. 

ClixSense doesn't hide behind a privacy protect when you look at who owns the domain, we have nothing to hide.
No reason to hide. Just follow http://whois.domaintools.com/clixsense.com and you find all information about the owners. Clixsense is all over the place.

Why are we telling you this?

Simple, with new PTC and bux sites coming online everyday you have no idea who you are dealing with and what their intentions are.

With ClixSense, you know us and trust us. We want you to be successful online with us and not be taken by a startup that is here today and gone tomorrow.

From the words of Clixsense Admin, as posted on Clixsense Forum on November 22, 2011

What is the pure profit expected on ClixSense?

I believe most people who participate in ClixSense, or any PTC for that matter, soon gets the idea of setting goals for their time and efforts put into the program. This is a good thing because it keeps you motivated and gives something to look forward to. I think many people in the PTC world share a common goal and that goal is to create a steady income. Whether this is your goal or not, I want to present to you some calculations that consider in many variables of potential earning with the focus being on reasonable estimations. With that being said, I will focus on possible earnings on a weekly and monthly basis since that seems to be a fair time in between cash outs for those looking to make a secondary or even main income for themselves.

The first thing any member of ClixSense should do when creating their goal or goals here is to study and understand the Affiliate Program. It gives a clear understanding of your earning potential. Understand the difference between Standard membership and Premium membership affiliate earnings so you can set your goals based on your membership level. I will present some possible scenarios based about the Premium membership.

Lets say you have 500 direct referrals and 25% of them are active everyday and 5% of them are Premium members. Your daily earnings would look something like this:

20% of 500 referrals clicking the guaranteed 1 ad = $0.40 per day
(20% of 500 = 100 with guarantee 1 standard ad per day with .004 commission per ad)

5% of 500 referrals Premium clicking 4 ads = $0.40 per day
(5% of 500 = 25 with guarantee 4 standard ads per day with .004 commission per ad)

Weekly earnings: $5.60 PURE PROFIT
Monthly earnings: $24.40 PURE PROFIT

Keep in mind this is not calculating in any extra ads, Tasks, signup, upgrade, down line, your OWN earnings from the ads and ClixGrid you make or advertising commissions that are more than possible in happening with these 500 referrals. Also keep in mind this is just assuming that only 25% of your 500 referrals are active everyday. Given the popularity of ClixSense and its no risk of losing money system, the chances of you having more than just that many referrals being active is much greater. This is just a 1 case scenario out of an infinite amount of possibilities. The above calculations are GUARANTEED earnings based upon that certain scenario happening for you.

Now lets take that same scenario and calculate in some estimated earnings from Task commissions. Given you have 25% of your referrals active out of 500 total, lets say 50 are active in the Tasks. Now lets say each of those 50 referrals completes 20 Tasks a week with each of those Tasks worth 0.10 each. (Tasks earnings vary by task so this is just a random value based upon average task value). Since in the above scenario you are a Premium member, you will earn 10% of each Task completed by your first level down line.

50 referrals x 20 tasks each per week x 10% of .10 = $10.00 / week

or

50 x 20 x .01(10% of the .10 value task) = $10.00 / week PURE PROFIT

$10.00/week = $40.00 / month PURE PROFIT

So considering your profit from ad commissions and now from the tasks example, you are now at $64.40 PURE PROFIT every month. Now take a moment to look over the numbers, particularly the number of referrals and active referrals in the above scenario. That is quite a small number of active referrals. And remember the profit so far has not even considered nor calculated in upgrade, down line upgrades, signup and any extra ads commissions as well as any advertising your referrals may purchase. When you consider all of that, your earnings can be much higher. I could go on and continue to do calculations based upon a given circumstance of referral activity, but I think you now understand the true earning potential and possibilities here at ClixSense.

ClixSense offers many opportunities for success to its members. The earning possibilities here are endless and it can go as far as you want as long as you continue to promote the service and encourage people to be active and upgraded members. Above you saw how just 100 active referrals can earn you a nice profit in a more than possible higher earning scenario. Think how your weekly and monthly earnings would be if you had 500 active referrals or more! The beauty of ClixSense is that you have no risk of losing profit because there are NO fees for having or keeping your referrals and whether you are a standard member or premium you can have unlimited direct referrals. ClixSense has truly changed the face and future of PTC and I strongly believe they will continue to grow in prosperity just as you can along with them if you put your heart into it.

Happy Earnings!

A few tips on building your Clixsense downline

The big challenge if you want to start having some results with any PTC system is about increasing your referrals number.What you need to take in consideration is that this is a time process and people may change during this time. Well, one thing is that there will always be people that join and do nothing. Also, people get married, get divorced, move locations, change jobs, take a different route in their life, etc. Therefore, as time moves forward, people that join ClixSense, may not be as active as they once were. So I think it's important to keep promoting your ClixSense as much as your time allows, consistently over time. Which brings me to the second thing you need to know...

Time. ClixSense has long since proven it's longevity stance. A good idea is to create pages and link your pages to each other, with information about ClixSense. Keyword those pages and make the pages content rich. If you do that, the pages will get into the search engines where they will stay forever. The longer your pages exist, the more your pages will go in the various search engines and the more likely they will rise and be found by those entering keyword specifics. Reality is, this is a no brainer for long term ClixSense members to gain referrals on the fly from time to time.

Traffic Exchanges. - The thing about traffic exchanges is the fact everyone is promoting something. What do traffic exchange members want? They want advertising. I'm sure a lot of TE users enjoy clicking all day but it's certainly not my cup of tea to click just to gain credits so I can exchange for traffic. Which brings us back to the 'Time' topic doesn't it? Yep. What I prefer to do is give people what they want. In traffic exchanges, I promote....traffic exchanges. In doing so, I am giving the traffic exchange users what they want...more advertising. Therefore it's easier to gain sign ups. By building up a few solid traffic exchanges with refs, I always have credits without having to spend TIME surfing for them. Which brings me us to....

Splash Pages. - I hate splash pages. I've always hated them. I'm a content person. However, there are times when splash pages come in handy and that is when there is TIMERS and the viewer is not going to spend much time reading. I'll use splash pages in areas like TRAFFIC EXCHANGES. Since I gain credits from refs surfing and from enrolling refs, I can go into the traffic exchange and enter my splash page url on a rather regular basis. A big key to splash pages is to grab the viewers eye, and make the viewer want whatever it is you got. Which also brings us to....

Autoresponders and Optins - Now I tell you something, you don't have to use an autoresponder. It's better if you do but I can tell you a little trick I some time ago that worked rather well for me. Save a message or two to a doc. On your splash page simply state, email me directly for the info and put an email address to a free email account in which you use for nothing except for that page. Every time you get an email, you'll know it is someone wanting the info. Open your doc, copy/paste your one or two messages to them. This little trick is some times better than an autoresponder since you immediately have direct email to email contact.

Text Ad Exchanges and Solo Ads - In one way, I think text ad exchanges are better now for the user than they were when they first started. Because most are not using them like they did when they first started. Still, many have members that are still members and will read the occasional solo they receive. Since yours is the occasional, less competition, you might pull in some refs which brings us to....

Subject Lines and Body Messages - A good idea is to open a doc and save it for your subject lines and body messages. In doing so you will save time because you can easily open your doc, copy the message and paste it every time you want to send an ad. Another reason it is a good idea is because you can think about the subject line and body message to create a really good one. You can review it and make sure your spelling is accurate. Who wants to join something under someone when they have bookoo typos in the message? Not me.

Blogs - Are a very good idea. However, blogs can be confusing for the viewer. It can be tough for them to locate what they want or for you to have them locate what you want them to see. Therefore, allow them to see ONE thing. Go get a free blog, focus it on ClixSense ONLY. Every few days, go to your blog and type something about ClixSense. There is plenty to type about....How you get paid, How much you can earn, How much you made this month, How the advertising works, How the free membership works, How the premium membership works, The funny thing someone said at the ClixSense forum, etc etc etc. You won't ever run out of stuff to talk about in regards to ClixSense. If you do that, here again, your blog will hit the search engines and as long as you continue to add content to your blog, it will continue to rise in the search engines and it will continue to be listed in more areas of the search engines due to your keeping it updated and due to your constant keyword content.

Social Networks - Probably one of the best places to gain referrals if you know how to go about it. I very new into these myself, so what I'm saying is rumors I've read. I just hate when I am at a social network and I get an ad from someone I don't even know. I am like.... getta outta here! If I am at a social network and someone starts communicating with me like.... what country are you in....have you tried the cornbread recipe...I have three kids what about you.....oh I see you are on here today how was your day yesterday.... Well when I get that kind of communication I MAKE FRIENDS. I like friends don't you? Finally one day that new friend is going to ask me, where do you work Rares? I will say, I work online. They'll say really, what kind of work do you do.....I'll say, oh I mainly do free to earn stuff....they'll say do you make any real money doing that....I'll say sure, you want to try one?

Forums - There are a lot of forums that allow you to post a link and/or advertise. Often tho, you may be barking up a horses tail if you simply hit a forum with ads. Instead, introduce yourself, let people know you are a credible person. Reply to posts. Make friends. After the people at the forum have accepted you, realize your credibility, they'll actually READ your posts, then post and tell them about ClixSense and how it works. You'll most likely get some sign ups if you do it that way instead of just signing up to a forum and posting a blatant ad.

PTC's - There are a lot of paid to click programs online today. Most are garbage. Still, credible people some times I join garbage because they don't know it's garbage. Instead of just going in and buying an ad....USE IT FIRST. See what others are advertising. Do you see any ClixSense ads? How many do you see? Is that place over-run with ClixSense ads? IF it is, you might want to think twice before purchasing. It's always best to USE a PTC Before buying. That way you'll know how it works. You'll know IF it really is working without errors.

There is never a shortage of places to advertise. By all means, don't forget about 'The Advertiser'. You may even want to create a page about the best place to advertise and place your ClixSense link and list some advertisers features, use it as a splash page and/or advertise it. Everyone in the marketing arena is always looking for advertising.

Whatever you do, remember the first paragraph above. There will be people that join and do nothing. There will be people that will be active for awhile and then become inactive. There will also be people that become full fledged premier members and use ClixSense forever. It's up to YOU to continuously spread the word and keep on keeping on. If you do that, you'll just grin when someone leaves because it is not going to hurt you....you'll have more coming in all the time, and your commissions will keep on growing.
