The Money Button

This is a money button:

Yours.org made it. You can make one too.

Talk about this with other users on the immutable, uncensorable, memo.cash.

Reconsidering Swagbucks

Well, looks like I might be wrong about Swagbucks.

I visited GetPaidToFart, and she's made some money with it, and I looked at my1000+ Swagbucks balance and saw that I could redeem a $10 Visa Card. Ok! I'll try that. I'll change my default from DuckDuckGo to Swagbucks to see if it wouldn't annoy me too much.

Ok I've switched it. I'm trying to figure out if Swagbucks uses Google search as their search engine.
It's kind of hard to tell, but it doesn't really look like it.

I'm a bit distracted from what I was doing with changing the layout because I'm intrigued by the various things she's made money on.

Which Social Networks Empower?

Which social networks empower?

That's the new title of this blog, with the name empoweringeverybody.

Which PTC's Work is no longer. I have laid it to rest, right after I typed this post up.

If I can use this blogspace as well as Yours.org, then I might use this place more often than Yours.

I don't know. First I'm going to revise the layout of the site and get rid of the google ads.

Which PTCs Work? None Of Them.

Hello.

As you can see, it's 6 years later, and I haven't written a post here in all of that time.

I'm planning on changing the title of this blog or something like that, because my overall conclusion is:
There are no decent PTCs for making an online income.
Not even combined.

Swagbucks sucks, GomezPeer is going out of business this October, and I rather doubt that JillsClicksCorner is anything great anymore.

I've been looking at various different social networks that include tipping - "micro-payments", as a source of income, like Memo.cash and Yours.org.

Why have I come back here if I think no PTCs make for a decent online income?

Because Yours has developed a Money Button, and you can't test that anywhere but on a website.

So I want to try and use it here:

Alright. I don't know if that worked, so I'll click publish and give it a look.

Wow so it's completely invisible text-wise when you're writing it. Interesting.

So this is the post to announce that I'm closing Which PTCs Work as the name and URL, and going to be changing the web address to something else that better fits the general direction I've gone in.

I don't want to be using google ads. I'm taking those off.

I want to be using peer-to-peer ads and direct advertising.

I'm Back. Again.

Hello again. My last post was written more than a year ago, and I was very mad at NeoBux.

Well, given that I've been seeing people who need money and help, specifically, XOmniverse, although I see it as a general trend, who are asking for whatever money can be spared, I thought of that old trend of doing PTCs to get cash enough to play ... some mining game.

Accordingly, I thought I'd try ol' NeoBux again. I met with success. For some reason, I was able to sign up with somethingsea1 and my usual email account. NeoBux must have deleted my old one.

Some immediate changes I'm seeing are some new and interesting tools, and as well, a more accurate timer for the ads, such as a very short one for the micro advertisements. I'm thinking I'll give this a whirl again and see if it does anything this time.

Here's hopin'!

Et Tu, NeoBux? -- APRIL FOOLS!

I'm not sure whether to be scared, or really amused. The cash and ads are showing in roman, though when you mouse-over, they display back as normal.

It's April Fools! And, by the way, Golden's become Supervisor, and Ultimates become President!

Pioneers become Ancient.

Not sure what Help desk is.

And guess what the admin is!

It's hard to be annoyed at this guy :P

I'm liking his humor.

NeoBux: Remember The $0.50 ticket?

Well, it's real.

I'm not sure what to make of that. But, if it's a regular occurrence, that would definitely be something to add against expenses. Lots of changes are happening... not sure yet if it's a good idea to stay. Will keep clicking until I've decided. Funny, though, how the improvements are offered slowly, while the one huge disappointment is dropped at the turn of a dime. Funny, innut... Oh, I know, admin, I know - it's because of "the reaction" to it. Either you're a schmuck (one with good intentions, of course), an idiot (again, one with good intentions, of course), or a scammer. Time will tell.

(Couldn't find the original post, so I'll post PTC-I's)

"9. Bonuses - For each advertisement you see you'll have an opportunity to earn $0.50 each hour. If you've seen advertisements in the past hour, you're eligible for the draw. This amount will be added to the main balance and users can do what they want with it."

NeoBux: A Turn for the Better

http://www.neobux.com/forum/?frmid=3&tpcid=197925

"Looking back almost 2 weeks ago, where the first and required step of the process was implemented, and recalling the chaos created by those who fear changes even though proven successful, I will take it easy this time."

"All the needed changes were to be ready until month's end and would turn NeoBux into the most perfect place to be BUT I won't take the risk, even though I'm perfectly sure everyone would love it, to make these radical changes all at once. I understand that some need time to digest changes and evolve with them. I understand and accept it. It's even better to have a surprise every now and then than to risk some having a heart attack for looking at something wonderful that was appeared overnight."

"Instead of a global instant change you'll benefit from the new model one feature at a time until we can finally conclude all changes."

"New features will be introduced as soon as the current ones are fully understood by our users."

THANK YOU. Although, I don't appreciate your inane characterization:
"having a heart attack for looking at something wonderful that was appeared overnight."
No, no, and no. But whatever. You can view it however you like so long as you're actually listening. Or do you REALLY think that users thought that earning $0.001 instead of $0.01 was "looking at something wonderful"?

NeoBux's 2012

I figured I'd get a snapshot of my earnings, since they happened to fall on the number:

As we wait for the end (or, at least, to the point where I have decided it's time to cashout) of NeoBux, having gone from probably the best PTC in the industry, to a suicide dive, we can at least amuse ourselves with things like this. Hopefully when I do cashout, I get the cash. I'm thinking I'll wait till the 1st of next month, or sometime around then. In the meantime, I've been finding other, better PTCs:

That's the one I'm guessing people aren't the most familiar with, and it's the one I'm most hopeful in. A lot of links at $0.001, and a cashout of $1. Nice!

PTC checkup - Are They Worth It?

I'm going to just go through some PTCs and check out their value:

Sift 1:

NeoBux
-4 guaranteed ads at $0.001 per day = $0.004
-To rent: $0.66. $0.66 / $0.004 = 165 days
-To cashout ($2); $2 / $0.004 = 500 days
-Feel: Feels alright. Little annoying the ads are down in value.

YouCubez
-48 cash cubes at 0.0002 = 0.0096
-To cashout (6); 6 / 0.0096 = 625 days
-Feel: Takes forever (30 min - 1 hr)! Long load time even though ads themselves aren't that high.

ClixSense
-0-12 ads per day = $0.00 - $0.12
-Cashout $10 / ($0.00 or $0.12) = never to 84 days
Feel: It's alright. Occasional annoying ad-breakers.

LinkGrand
-0-8 (approx.) at $0.003 = $0 - $0.024
-Cashout $5 / ($0 or $0.024) = never to 208.3 days
Feel: Meh. Layout could be considered annoying (new page for viewing ad by default), but it's useful for refreshing the page.

BigKahunaClicks
-3-15 (approx) at approx. $0.0005 = $0.0015 - $0.0075
Cashout $0.04 / ($0.0015 or $0.0075) = 27 to 5.3 days
Feel: Feels nice.

Wordlink
-2-4 (approx) at $0.005 (1-2) to $0.01 (2-3) = average $0.025
-Cashout $10 / $0.025 = 400 days
Feel: Feels nice.

AdPaid
-0-4 at .1c to .3c = $0 to $0.012
-Cashout: $3 / $0.012 = 250 days
Feel: Little archaic, not too annoying; very few ads

Clicksia
-about 12-15 ads at $0.001 - $0.005 = $0.012 to $0.075
-Cashout $1 / ($0.012 to $0.075) = 83.3 or 13.3 days
Feel: Slightly tedious security, annoying thing to click at ad end - using adblocker to stop that.

Bux-Matrix
-3-4 at about $0.004 = $0.012 to $0.016
-Cashout $2 / ($0.012 to $0.016) = 166.7 to 125 days
Feel: Hate it. Hard to navigate. But the ads don't take that long...

Incentria
-10-14 at about $0.001 to $0.004 = $0.01 to $0.056
-Cashout $1 / ($0.01 to $0.056) = 100 to 18 days
Feel: Slightly tedious security, annoying thing to click at ad end - using adblocker to stop that.

BuxP
-about 35 at $0.001 to $0.005 = $0.035 to $0.175
-Cashout $17.99 / ($0.035 to $0.175) = 514 to 102.8 days
Feel: Not too annoying.

JillsClickCorner
-approx: 10 ads per page at $0.001 to $0.01 * 25 pages = 250 * ($0.001 to $0.01) = $0.25 to $2.50
-Cashout $1 / ($0.25 to $2.50) = 4 to .4 days
Feel: It's alright.
