Got Paid Update #75 - Gomez PEER

Received my July payment from Gomez PEER in the amount of $8.30 on Sunday. I was starting to wonder where that one was as they usually pay around the middle of the month or earlier

The Gomez PEER is a great way to earn money doing absolutely nothing at all, as it works in the background of your computer while you do other stuff. Click here to re-read my original post about the PEER.

I venture to guess they may be a little saturated in North America right now as I haven't seen many who signed up under me get activated lately, but you never know when they might activate you so it's worth signing up for and keeping it running anyway. I think one of the keys is your computer being on and available most of the time (mine's rarely turned off). And you can still make money on referrals once they're activated, even when your account is pending or inactive.

This was my sixth payment from them since last July so I'm on about an every two months' pay from them. If you've not looked into it, read the post mentioned above and then check out Gomez PEER today!

News: ClixSense, CashCrate, Hundred Acre Clicks, Brandarama

This'll be a repeat of news that's been bouncing around here and there all over this week, but it's all pretty important so I wanted to post the updates here too for those who don't read around everywhere's benefit.

First, great news - if you are a ClixSense premium member, ClixSense is now paying 10% of your first level referral's ad view earnings, provided that referral has upgraded to premium. This is fabulous! So you and your referral both have to be upgraded, but honestly the ClixSense upgrade is such a deal at $10 for a whole year and otherwise you wait forever to get paid if you're a free member, so it just makes sense to upgrade anyway. In any case, awesome news and yay for ClixSense on this! (Thanks to Phil for this bit of news.)




More good news - there was an announcement on the CashCrate blog recently that upgraded Silver members at CashCrate can now have their earnings by direct deposit! That's really terrific - I wish ClixSense would do this too, LOL! (Thanks to Reanna for this heads up.)




Next, members of Hundred Acre Clicks need to go into their account and make sure everything in their profile is correct - especially your first and last name - as the admin will be deleting accounts with inaccurate info in the next few days. (Thanks to Jessica for this update, I'm so behind in my e-mail I might never have seen this.)




Finally, a very big heads up for those who are still doing PTS offers - do NOT do any Brandarama offers that may still be on whatever sites you're on. Brandarama, which has been one of the largest advertisers for PTS offers everywhere, is or has filed for bankruptcy and is refusing to pay for any leads from June and July, so do not do any offers that may still be out there for Brandarama - you won't get paid.

I read somewhere earlier in the week that one of the larger affiliates that provides many of the various PTS offers to sites is possibly planning to pay the leads for any Brandarama offers done via that affiliate up until the bankruptcy news, but I don't know if that is certain or not.

So in essence, if you have done any Brandarama offers in June or July, you may or may not get paid for them, but you definitely WON'T get paid for any that are still out there right now on any sites. I would imagine most of the owners have pulled those offers from their sites this week, but there may still be some out there, so be forewarned - DON'T do them!

Have a great rest of your Wednesday! (Or Thursday, depending on where you are!)

Got Paid Update #73 - MatrixMails

Got a speedy payment from MatrixMails for $5.66 last week on Monday, this time within two days of request. Oh, MatrixMails - I couldn't possibly love you more than I do! LOL!

Honestly (and yes, I know I was just recently talking about this here), the benefits are so huge at MatrixMails for Gold members, it just doesn't make any sense to remain a free member and not upgrade here, if only to Silver and not Gold - but the Gold Lifetime with Matrix is so excellent and gets you soooooo much more per mail and ad view, and the earnings potential so very, very huge.

The Gold Lifetime may seem like a lot on the front end, but it's for life - you only pay it once, never have to pay it again - and I can tell you from experience that $0.04 per paid mail (as opposed to $0.01 or half that) REALLY adds up! I don't do anything but paid mails and PTC at MatrixMails, so this has made the difference between me having to wait forever to cash out (I'd probably STILL be waiting for my first cashout this time next year if I was a free member), and being able to cash out once a month or two... and probably even more frequently on down the line. It's a good investment for future residual income.

But again (like I said the other day), if you don't want to spring for the Gold Lifetime yet, try the Gold Monthly (that's what I did at first) or one of the others and then be sure to do your paid mails when they come in, and do the daily PTC ad views. The increased balance proved to me it was worth it, and was a realllllllllllly pleasant surprise when I upgraded to Gold Lifetime to see what $0.04 per mail and ads did for my balance.

This program has bazillions of members so you reading this are probably already a member, but if you're not - or if you're new to the GPT/PTC/PTR community - this is one to join for sure! Check out MatrixMails today!

Got Paid Update #72 - GlobalCashClicks

Well, pretty much as I said the other day, I thought I'd better go ahead and get my review post of GlobalCashClicks up since I had just cashed out and knew I'd be getting paid soon, likely! I requested that payment of $1.38 on July 18th, and it arrived on July 21st.

R U Ready 4 Money - Now $5 Minimum Weekly Payout

And now for the real news instead of me babbling...

Some news from R U Ready 4 Money popped into my e-mail box late last night, announcing that the site is changing to a $5 minimum cashout and paying weekly! That's really great to hear, as I have been spending most of my time on $10 and under cashout sites for some time now, and my referral stats for many months have pretty much been showing that most people prefer the same. I've seen some sites in the last several months or so raise their cashout level up to $15 or $20 from lower, and I think that's just a mistake nowadays in GPT. But I've seen many more lower theirs or change to increased payment times, so that's the bigger (and I think better) trend.

So anyway, this is great and yay for R U Ready 4 Money! The other side of the coin here is there will be no more signup bonus, but that's completely understandable (and most other sites that have lowered their cashout likewise have done the same anyway). I really do feel that, for the most part, members will be more active on sites where the cashout is easily reached most months and would rather have a lowered cashout than a signup bonus anyway. Cashout is forever (or until it's changed again anyway!), signup bonuses only come once, after all!

The site is open to members in all countries, so if you're not already a member, check out R U Ready for Money today!

Wow!

I don't often post on the weekends, and I have been spending 18-22 hours a day (not exaggerating there) most days the past couple of weeks working on various projects as well as working-working, but (1) I had some cool news to report, and (2) I had something else unusual and awesome happen yesterday, so here I am!

I noticed the other day this was coming up and meant to keep an eye on it, but then I almost missed it (and actually did, by one click apparently, ha!).

That milestone came about late yesterday (Friday) morning. Rock!

I realize 10,000 page views is small potatoes in the grand scheme of the Internet, but when you consider that I started this site just a little over a year and three months ago with absolutely nothing - no advertising to speak of, and mostly relying on social networks like MyBlogLog and StumbleUpon and begging friends and acquaintances to let me park quietly on their MySpace and Twitter lists - and considering that GPT/PTC/PTR is sort of a small percentage of the Internet anyway, I'm pretty thrilled with 10K hits in that amount of time!

And I have a second "quicklist" site now which is HERE, so I guess you could say I've diversified a bit - even though it's really the same info, just with less yapping from me and more scaled down and mainly just need-to-know info - that one's for the people that don't like to read blogs (like most of my personal friends and acquaintances, heh). I'm going to officially link it here one of these days, I just want to get some more of the sites that are already there posted on here first - as usual, I'm behind!

What's next? Oh, I don't know, more of the same probably. I have a colleague who has been bugging me since Day One about the fact that I own the domain but am not self-hosting it yet (and it's not like I don't know about such things, I've been working as a web admin since 2004) - so maybe one of these days I'll move both sites to a hosted domain, but hey, I've been able to do all this for free and that goes along with the whole money-hunting deal anyway. If you're money-saving while money-hunting, all the better profit-wise! Plus (at least here on this page anyway), I'm sorta testing a suspected theory about Google, as it were.

But really when I started this back last year in April, I just mainly started it just to see what would happen and how things would go with no real major goal other than to share what was working for me (and sometimes not), so as far as I'm concerned 10,000 hits is great. And I've met and gotten to know a lot of terrific people along the way - site owners, other members, other money-related bloggers, all kinds of good folks! In any case, thanks to everybody who's ever stopped by and ever commented, ever subscribed, ever signed up for anything - everything. I'd have been happy with far less than 10K page views by now, but the fact that that many peeps have dropped by is really cool. Thanks. :)

Got Paid Update #71 - Fishing4Fortune

Received a fast payment from Fishing4Fortune on Thursday for $5.10 - yay!

As I announced the other day, the site has recently gone to no minimum cashout and Net 15 payments, which is fabulous! This is a really nice GPT where the admins are always right on top of everything (and really really nice), and they have really terrific contests regularly too so you could definitely maximize your earnings here on a regular basis. It's still small enough where your chances to win contests are greater for now, so hurry up and sign up before bunches more people find out what a great GPT this is! :)

They're open to members in the US & UK, so if you're not already a member, click the banner to visit Fishing4Fortune today!

Got Paid Update #70 - JillsClickCorner

Cashed out late last week on the 18th at JillsClickCorner and received that payment ($1.26) today. Always great to report a new first-time payment from a site!

It's very easy to reach the $1 minimum cashout here if you view your ads daily or almost, I've gotten a little more diligent about that type thing lately (well, until this week got so busy) and it really makes a difference.

Feel free to hop over and check JillsClickCorner out if you're not already a member!

Got Paid Update #69 - DealBarbiePaysFast

Received another lightning fast payment ($2.50) on Monday from DealBarbiePaysFast - this time under the new ownership of the DealBarbie network of sites (as of July 1st), who is also the admin of several other popular and established sites in the community.

So, that's cool - I wasn't really concerned about not getting paid since the site's sale since the admin has a good reputation in the industry, but it's nice to be able to report that yes indeed, I got paid, and within 24 hours of request. (Since instant PayPal payments are offered on almost all of this owner's other sites, I'm kinda hoping maybe DealBarbiePays will go to instant payments too, but dunno if it will - a girl can dream, tho, can't she?!!)

If you're not a member of DealBarbiePaysFast, check it out today - especially if you like to get paid super duper quickly!
