GoldMineClicks

GoldMineClicks is another PTC/PTR with lots and lots to do. One thing I found very impressive about this site is how fast it loads even though there's lots of graphics - I often have some slow-loading problems with sites that run this type of PTC script, not this one! It's a really nicely done site graphically too.

The site also has a weekly referral contest - the winner gets 5000 link credits - that's a pretty sweet deal. It also has a really nice referral level deal - 10% referral earnings, 10 levels deep - and pays you up to $0.01 per click.

GoldMineClicks has a $1 minimum cashout via AlertPay (which I generally recommend for click sites) and PayPal (and lists E-gold too, at least I guess they still pay that way). And it is a paying site - my upline/friend/colleague has proof of payment from this one, so I felt pretty confident in joining up. The site has been open since January 2008.

GoldMineClicks has been awarded the Platinum Seal of Approval from BeenPaid.com. International members are welcome - if you're not already a member, check it out today!


UPDATE 07/09/2009: This site has somewhat inexplicably disappeared in recent weeks and after waiting quite a while to see if it would return and searching for any news about it and finding none, I am moving it to the Closed Programs and Sites section.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, or Have a Good Weekend!

Just a quick note to send out Happy Holidays wishes to all those who celebrate, and to say after I make the next post, I am officially away from here until after Christmas week is over. Due to the holiday falling mid-week this year, we've pushed our own Christmas celebration ahead a day, so I am spending the rest of the week with my family for the holiday.

Also since I have fallen so behind on my e-mail, I wanted to send a quick special holiday shout-out to Sheri - I see you signing up all over, that's wonderful! *grin* Thanks so much and I'm glad you (and I hope many others!) are finding some useful stuff here on the site and have terrific luck with all of it. (Hope to catch up with you in e-mail soon!)

I actually have a ton of new PTC/PTRs to write about, and am also working on a handy little "quick list" so folks can quickly and easily find what they may be looking for - so stay tuned for all that starting next week!

In any case, hope everyone celebrating has a wonderful rest of the holiday week, and even if you don't celebrate Christmas, have a terrific weekend! See you all back on Monday!

Incentria

Incentria is another mostly PTC/PTR/multi-activity site owned by the same owners as Clicksia - very good reputation in the PTC industry for honesty, integrity, and payment, which is good to see there still are some these days!

Like Clicksia, Incentria has a good redeem rate to redeem your stuff for advertising - also another plus! Earn up to $0.002 per ad viewed, and one referral level of 10%.

Payment is a $1 minimum cashout by PayPal or AlertPay anytime. As usual with PTC sites, you can earn more by upgrading.

Incentria is open to international members. Join today!

Got Paid Update #37 - MatrixMails

Received yet another payment (this time for $2.85) from MatrixMails on December 20th. This brings my total with them for this year up to $20.72.

I am averaging about a five-day wait after payment request - that's pretty great in GPT/PTR payment terms!

Here's a tip about MatrixMails - be sure and get by and do the available PTC (paid to click) ads regularly. You will usually find when you request payment, you get paid more than you requested when the payment arrives (I requested around $2.50 and got paid $2.85 - sweet!).

CashMonkies Sites Being Sold

Well, I have had to be away for several days due to my old computer, which I had known was on its last legs for a while, taking a nosedive & I had to jump to a new one in a hurry - I had been planning the move anyway, but not quite so soon! Unfortunately the old computer made that decision for me.

Anyway, when I got back to a point where I could read and catch up, I discovered that the admin of CashMonkies, CashMonkies JR, and Stardust PTC has announced she is selling the sites. I hate to hear that, because these are paying sites, but she has had some family health issues going on and has been away for several weeks, so it's understandable.

The initial announcement stated that all site debts will be made, and that offers would stay up until the end of the month, but when I signed in to check some PTS ads I had at CashMonkies yesterday afternoon, I discovered that the ads and all offers on the site are gone, so I guess she changed her mind and shut those off earlier than planned (don't know).

In any case, I have removed my initial entries about the Monkies sites for the time being as I prefer not to continue to promote a sold site until I see how things go under the new ownership, so they may return to my listings in the near future. We'll see!

JillsClickCorner

I recently joined JillsClickCorner and whoa - talk about a LOT of PTC ads! Pages upon pages upon more pages!

JillsClickCorner has been around for a few years (i.e., likely not going anywhere like so many do). It pays up to 1 cent per ad though most are lower, but still - there are SO many! Upgraded members, as usual with PTC, can earn more. There are PTS offers as well, and many other ways to earn here on this multi-activity site. There is one referral level here of 10%.

UPDATED 03/02/2013: Minimum cashout is now $1 via PayPal, $1.06 via Payza, and between $0.10 to $1 for several other payment processors the site has available (including Liberty Reserve).

International members are welcome here. This one is also affiliated with the DonkeyMails/etc group of sites, which do pay, so I feel confident about this one as well. Check out Jill's Click Corner today!

MoneyDreams

MoneyDreams is a new site that opened a couple of months ago. I have it on good knowledgeable authority that the owner is a nice person and no doubt is and will continue to be a very good admin, and he is certainly enthusiastic and excited about the site and with good reason!

MoneyDreams has a $5 cashout minimum (yay!) and regular payments can be by either check or PayPal. Four referral levels here (12%, 10%, 5%, and 5%).

UPDATE 05/12/2009: MoneyDreams now pays on a weekly basis.

The site currently has a $2 signup bonus going on. There is no PTC on site, but there are frequent contests!

MoneyDreams is open to members in the US, UK, Canada and Australia only (note: the FAQ currently says open to members of all countries, but that has changed due to fraud issues). Join MoneyDreams today!

UPDATE 09/03/2009: MoneyDreams is showing up as a suspended site - which can sometimes just be the result of forgetting to pay for hosting that month, but I'm told it's been like this for a couple of weeks now. I'm removing it to the Closed Programs section due to this.

AdverBux

As regular readers likely know, I have kinda gotten a little "allergic" to PTC sites with "bux" in their name (or they closed out of the blue, like Buxout did yesterday - another good reason to be allergic). Out of frustration and aggravation, I have recently shelved some of the ones I previously had listed here, but AdverBux is one I have continued to stick with.

It operates a little differently from those other "b" sites, and actually they made a lot of really cool changes in recent months that I really love - including increasing the ads to standard members daily quite a bit in recent months. The front page now says "Never view less than 10 ads," but really I think there's usually one or two more than that most days.

I'm actually also doing fairly well at this one (by free PTC standards anyway), so that was another reason I have kept on working this one. I'm still a long ways away from cashout, but getting lots better results with AdverBux balance-wise than the other "bux" sites I gave up on (either because they disappeared, or couldn't seem to stay up, or changed their TOS to something ridiculous, or whatever - I got fed up and quit others).

Cashout is a $20 minimum by PayPal or AlertPay, and international members are welcome. AdverBux pays up to $0.01 per ad viewed, and has one referral level of 20%.

I really kind of love this site - I wish the cashout was a little lower, but that's OK, I'll get there eventually - and unlike a lot of the other "bux" sites, this one I really do recommend 'cos it seems to be working kinda nicely for me, steadily increasing anyway. Go see for yourself and have a go at AdverBux!


UPDATE 07/09/2009: AdverBux may or may not be closed - I understand some have been able to access the forum - but I have not been able to get this site to load or, on one or two occasions, load without severe amount of problems for weeks, and pretty much since its return after disappearing for several weeks with a "we'll be back eventually" type of message on the site. With its $20 minimum cashout, not having performed very well for me in over a year of effort with it, and all of the above problems, I am just taking it off my active listings whether it's actually closed or not. I couldn't tell you if it's really closed or not because it hasn't loaded for me in weeks, so for me, it might as well be closed anyway.

$8 Survey from ACOP - Woohoo!

In the Things That Don't Happen Every Day department (LOL), I had a nice little surprise last night when I qualified for an $8 survey with American Consumer Opinion last night. Even nicer - when I saw it was $8, I thought, "Ohhh no, this one's going to take forever," but I actually completed it fairly quickly. So basically I made eight bucks for about 10 or 15 minutes of effort. Now that I like!

I am bad to let my survey mailbox sit a while without checking it, and therefore many of the ones I get invitations to are expired by the time I get to them. If I was a little more diligent about it, I could probably make about $10-15 extra per month from most of the ones I'm registered with.

And American Consumer Opinion does indeed pay, as do all of the survey sites I have listed (click here to see my Survey Sites section). I generally don't get as many invitations from ACOP as I do most of the others, but when they come they're always bigger bucks than many of the ones I get all the time (and often don't qualify for) are. I haven't been paid by ACOP this year, but they've paid me in the past - and I'll certainly be looking forward to that $8 check and let you know when it arrives!

If you're not a member of American Consumer Opinion and interested in doing surveys, sign up today!

Addendum to Sites That Pay

Having said what I just said about the Buxout closing, that reminds me of something I was thinking about this weekend.

There are several very reliable and long-established PTC/PTR sites that are not going anywhere that I'm a member of and that have been paying people for years and years. The only problem is that I can't technically say they've paid ME, because I keep redeeming all my earnings at several of these sites for advertising instead. I was getting close to cashout on several of these and it occurred to me too late (after I'd already spent my earnings in advertising) that I had intentionally NOT spent my earnings on any ads lately because I wanted to be able to cash out and report that I'd been paid.... oops.

Now some of them have paid me (or their owners paid me elsewhere), as I've previously reported:

ClixSense
MatrixMails
AdPaid
ReadersPond
DonkeyMails
No-Minimum

But this next bunch, they've been around for ages and paid lots of people and they really DO pay, even though I keep forgetting not to re-spend my earnings there so I can't say they've paid ME. But they do pay and are VERY worthwhile (especially WordLinx, I couldn't possibly ever say enough about WordLinx and how fantastic the $10 a year upgrades there and at ClixSense are), so I'm popping this in the "Sites That Pay" section just for a note. (And hopefully will be able to report they paid ME before too long as long as I don't have any more blonde moments and forget to hang onto my earnings to cashout instead of redeeming it all for ads, heh.)

Good established, and/or with reputable ownership, sites that have paid tons of people:

WordLinx
LinkGrand
Clicksia
Incentria
EasyAdBucks

Anyway, so there you go. Have at it and go make some money at places that are very much NOT likely to just up and run at the drop of a hat like most of these "bux" and such sites are (can you tell I'm pretty much jaded at this point over that whole sector of the industry? LOL!).
