ClixMX - Another PTC

ClixMX.com always has at least 10 clicks per day for standard members, and 20 for premium members.

• Visit links for 30 seconds to earn $0.01
• Earn $0.01 for each website your referrals view.
• 5 cent sign-up bonus
• $10 minimum payout through AlertPay.
• Payment requests can be made everyday.

This site looks very good - user friendly and trustworthy. I myself have only recently joined it.

Join the Lightspeed Panel to Complete Surveys

Lightspeed Surveys have been the best for me, particularly since I live outside the U.S. I have already been paid 4 times within the last four months. That's pretty impressive for a survey site. The surveys usually take around 20 minutes to complete and I get invited to surveys at least once a week. To join, click here. The surveys are available in US, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands, and Australia. Each country has a different website. Payments are made via PayPal.

New on AlertPay

AlertPay has changed their accounts structure. It is now completely FREE to send AND receive money using the new "Personal Starter" account. There is a monthly receiving limit of $400 and a yearly limit of $2000 on this account, but otherwise I'd recommend it as the best one to use for earning with PTC sites.

Bux3 | paid to click

Bux3 is similar to Bux.to but even better. Once again you get paid $0.01 per click and $0.01 for each of your referrals' clicks. There are a lot of ads to click on every day, plus there are offers for which you can sign up to earn extra money. Payment is through AlertPay, with a minimum of $10. You'll receive a $0.05 bonus upon joining up. To start clicking, simply click on "Surf Ads" at the top of the page. To see the available offers, go to "Offers", and to see your stats, click on "Stats" or "My stats". Simple! The site is very easy to use and is attractive too. There are links at the bottom of the Bux3 screen to Payment Proofs and Testimonials.

Need Referrals?

If you're having trouble finding referrals for your PTC sites, try adding your referral links to some of the traffic exchange sites that I've listed in the category "Get traffic to your money-making blog". You might also like to mention them on your blogs or in forums.

A good site to join is myLot, where you can make friends and send links to your friends in personal messages if they are looking for PTC sites. But never SPAM people - never send messages or post on forums where your referral or affiliate links are not welcome. ALWAYS read the rules and guidelines first.

Another site you might like to try is Star Referrals. On star referrals, you can either buy stars or else earn stars for free by clicking on ads or signing up to other 'get paid to' sites under someone else. In return for signing up under someone else or viewing someone else's ad, you can then spend your stars and put up your own ads for other star referrals members to join up. So basically you'll be swapping each other's referral sites. If you need help with this, leave a comment here or send me an email.

Where to Start making money online

If you are feeling overwhelmed with information, and are at a loss as to where to start earning money online, here is a bit of general advice.

It's a good idea to start off with something simple and easy to do, and then once you get the hang of it, gradually explore some more options until you have found your favourite money-making niche online. There are lots of things to try and different kinds of people will enjoy different things.

So I would suggest to start by trying out some of the better PTC (paid to click) sites for a couple of weeks. Then move on to Get Paid To sites, where you can get paid to complete free offers online. At the same time or perhaps later, you can sign up to some free Survey panels and wait for survey offers to roll in to your email. You can complete only the surveys that you wish to, in your own time. If you like writing, you can try out some sites like mylot and look for other blogs online that tell you about posting articles to the internet for money (for example, http://paid2write.blogspot.com). Once you are fairly comfortable with money-making methods online, you might like to consider starting up a blog of your own about any topic under the sun that interests you. And you can use that to earn a bit of extra money too, by looking at my tips on this blog.

Remember, if you need help with anything, don't hesitate to leave a comment after any of the posts or send me an email! Good luck. :)

3. Choose the best type that will fit where you want your ads to be placed. For example, if you want them in the side bar then choose either "Vertical Banner" or "Vertical Rectangle" by first clicking on "Rectangles". If you want them displayed at the top or bottom of your blog, choose "Full Banner" or "Leaderboard" from the banners section. Play around with these after you have put the code on your blog, to see what looks best.


4. Once you have made your selection, you may "Customise colours" if you wish, and then click on "Update" at the bottom of the pop-up window.

8. Paste the code in the box that appears under "Content". Don't enter a title because that title will be displayed on your blog.


9. Click on "Save Changes". And that's it.

If you want to add other code such as banners or links to promote other sites or products you can follow the same steps shown above (steps 6-9). Add other elements to your blog such as lists, videos or polls, by choosing something else from the "add page element" box. Most of all, have fun blogging!

Creating a Blog | A Step-by-step Guide (Part 8)

How to edit the elements of your blog and add new elements (including banners, ads and links):

ACCESS: You can access the editing section either from the Dashboard, by clicking "Layout" next to your blog's name, or from your blog itself, by clicking on "Customise" in the top-right hand corner and you should be automatically directed to the "Layout" tab.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: The page that you see allows you to move around, edit and add elements to your page. (You can also change the colours of your blog or pick a new template from the sub-tabs under layout.) Depending on your particular blog template, you can click on the "add a page element" link on the side bar of your blog, at the bottom, in the header or directly beneath your posts. You can always move around any elements you have already created, by clicking on it, holding down the mouse-button and dragging it to where you wish to position it. Whenever you change something on this page, always remember to hit the orange "Save" button before you look at your blog to save your changes.

ADDING A PAGE ELEMENT: Click on the link "Add a page element". A new window should appear called "Choose new element", with several choices of elements to add.
Here is a brief explanation of each of them:

• Slideshow - allows you to display a slideshow of your photos that are saved somewhere on the internet like Picasa or Flickr.
• Poll - lets you create a poll for visitors to answer.
• List - allows you to display a list of anything at all. You have the option to include a link with the items on the list but it is not required. Links will open in a new window by default.
• Linked list - also creates a list but this time every item must have a URL link and links open in the same window as the blog when clicked on.
• Picture - you can add a picture to your blog from the computer or internet. It will be displayed on every page of your blog unlike pictures added in a post which are only shown with that post.
• AdSense - this is the easy button from which you can automatically add google adsense ads to your blog.
• Text - lets you add some text to your blog that gets displayed on every page of your blog (as people navigate around your site).
• HTML/Javascript - this is where you can add HTML code to display buttons, Bidvertiser ads, and banners on your blog.
• Feed - to show RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds on your blog, such as news releases, videos, and more. You just need to place the feed URL address and it will automatically be displayed on your blog.
• Labels - shows the labels with which you have tagged any your posts. (You can add labels to posts as you are creating them by typing in the label in the box at the bottom of the post editor next to "Labels for this post:")
• Newsreel - to display google news headlines.
• Video Bar - allows you to post videos from the internet onto your blog.
• Logo - add a Blogger.com logo.
• Profile - show your personal profile.
• Blog Archive - to display your posts' archives (if they are not already there).

To edit any elements already on your blog, just press the "edit" link in the corner of that element.
