Don't Waste your AdF.ly Click

Nowadays, earning online is very easy. Through AdF.ly, anyone can earn by just shrinking URLs and sharing  it to others. You can earn more than $2 for every 1000 clicks generated. If you do not know what AdF.ly is, you can visit my previous post "Get Paid to Post Links" and learn how AdF.ly works.

Today, I want to teach you a basic step to validate all visitors. I assume that many people are doing this but for the sake of newbies out there, I hope you will enjoy my simple tutorial.

Whenever someone clicks on your shortened URL (AdF.ly link), basically, they will be redirected to a different website first before they will see the real destination page. That "other website" is an advertisement where AdF.ly earns their revenue. For the clicker or visitor to be redirected to the right destination page, he/she should wait for the 5-second countdown and click on "Skip Ad" first. This is a real hassle for every visitor, in which for most cases, they may click the "Back" button of their browser making their click to be invalid. Invalid click means no earning.

A basic step to prevent visitors/clickers to hit the "back" button is to change the advertisement format from Interstitial Advert to Framed Banner. (Just click the picture to enlarge.)

If an AdF.ly advertisement is in Framed Banner format, the visitor will not be redirected to a different page first but instead, he/she will be redirected to the correct destination page with a "Framed Banner" advertisement at the top of the page. This will prevent them from hitting the "back" button since they will see the correct page they want to visit immediately.

For a live demo, here is a shortened URL of www.google.com following the above instructions, http://adf.ly/DDxhR. You can compare this live demo from my example on my previous post to see the difference.

Please keep in mind that if you are using the "Framed-banner" format, you will have a lower click-rate. This means that it will take more than 1000 clicks to earn $3-5. Also, keep in mind that the 1000-click is only an average and doesn't mean that you will need an exact thousand clicks to earn. Check the publisher's rate by clicking here to learn more.

Get Paid To Post Links

Do you know that you can earn money by just posting links? Probably you have already heard about this, but for newbies, I want to inform you that this is possible. How?

AdF.ly provides an easy way to earn money online by shrinking links or URLs using their shrinking tool and then posting it to anywhere you want. Your money is credited to your AdF.ly account when someone clicks on your AdF.ly link. Anyone can earn through Adf.ly even you don't have any website.

Here is an example, I will shrink www.facebook.com using the URL shrinker that can be found at the first page or Home Page of AdF.ly. Now, here is the shortened URL: http://adf.ly/DDt0T
Try clicking the shortened link and see what will happen.

You will be redirected to a page (not Facebook) and there will be a 5-second countdown timer at the top-right side portion of the page. Once the countdown reaches zero, a "Skip Ad" text will appear. Click "Skip Ad" and you will be redirected to Facebook.

AdF.ly earns its revenue by advertising their client's website before redirecting the link to the correct destination (in which from my example, www.facebook.com). A portion of AdF.ly's income is shared to their members who are using their tool to shrink URLs.

You can earn as much as $3-5 for every 1000 clicks. You can shrink as many URLs as you want and share it to facebook, twitter, google plus, forums, comment, article, and other places you want it to post. This is great especially to Twitter where you only have a limited number of characters to tweet. Just make sure that you will not be spamming to prevent being reported which may result to account suspension.

You can withdraw your accumulated earning once you reach $5 through PayPal or Payza.

To know more about AdF.ly, their policies, and do's and don'ts, you can visit their Knowledge Base.

First Investment - Joining ClixSense Team PH

After reaching the minimum cashout of $6.00 in ClixSense, we decided not to withdraw it immediately for advertising purposes. Since we planned on investing in ClixSense, I went ahead and joined the ClixSense Philippines.

ClixSense Philippines Team is the first ever and the fastest growing Clixsense Team in the Philippines and in the world. The team was officially launched on August 15, 2010. It is a group of Filipino Internet Marketers who aim to help online income seekers to earn money using ClixSense. To know more about CSTPH, you can visit our complete CSTPH here.

So what happened? The number 1 rule of CSTPH is that all members should have premium subscription. Any premium member of ClixSense who is NOT yet a member of CSTPH but wants to join, should renew their premium subscription via the CSTPH special registration process.

ClixSense Team Philippines - earn in ClixSense the Premium Way!

My upline is not a CSTPH member so my account was transferred to another upline who is a CSTPH member. That was totally cool! That means all my future referrals will be PREMIUM members, too. Aside from that, my referrer gave me a rebate of $2 for signing up under his network. And here is the most important thing that surprised me. Well, since my premium subscription on ClixSense will expire on December and I renewed immediately without waiting for it to expire, I got a refund pro-rated with the unused period of my old premium subscription.I received a refund amount of about $3 since I still have about 3 unused months before my old subscription's expiration. But to be honest, that refund is just my theory. I was just totally shocked when I saw that I have $9 on my account after my registration to CSTPH. If you will check my last post about my ClixSense account, I mentioned that I just hit the minimum $6. No other changes happened except for the fact that I renewed my premium account through CSTPH registration. A sudden increase of $3 on my account? That was really surprising!

Though CSTPH's premium membership is higher than the classical ClixSense upgrade ($19 vs $17), I was able to reimburse $5 upon registration (refund of $3 plus $2 rebate from my referrer which I received through PayPal). Check out my screenshot below:

An image of our account after joining CSTPH.

Please keep in mind that this article focuses on my personal experience with regards to joining ClixSense Team Philippines. Your experience may be different to mine and not all referrer offers rebate, so I may say that I am too lucky to found one. LoL

Now, Click Brothers Team is fresh and new, if you are interested to join ClixSense Team PH, kindly contact us or click this link.

More surprises and bonuses will be announce for being a member of our team. Stay tuned!

Reaching our First $6 in ClixSense

Having my old ClixSense account restored and cosidering that it is a premium account, it was very easy for us to reach the minimum payout of $6 (minimum payout for standard member is $8).

With guaranteed 4 ads worth $0.01, doubled chances for ClixGrid (50 chances for Premium while 25 chances for Standard), ClixSense tasks, increased referral commision for clicks, and the daily checklist bonus, we were able to hit the minimum payout a day after hitting our minimum payout in NeoBux. We also decided not to withdraw that $6 for advertising purposes that we will be doing in the near future.

You can visit our ClixSense manual for some basic info, things to do, guides and strategies and its features.

Now we are improving, it's time to do some investing. Next target - ClixSense Philippines Team.

I'm sorry if I was not able to get a screenshot of my ClixSense account.

That's it for now.

Day 21 - Just Reached $2 in NeoBux

It's just our third week as a standard member since we registered here in NeoBux. Even with 2 inactive referrals, we managed to hit our first minimum payout of $2.00. Thanks to Minijobs and AdPrize which played a big role in making us reach our first $2 easily.

Our First $2 in NeoBux

I know that this is still quite slower. You may earn your first $2 faster than we did or just within your first week upon registration. We did not take the full advantage of the Mini Jobs so that we can keep track of our blogging activities.

So how and when did you earn your first $2? Please feel free to share your stories by placing a comment using our Facebook comment box or our default comment box.

First Time Task-Earner

NeoBux' Mini Jobs

NeoBux and ClixSense are competitors of each other in the World of PTC. During this 2012, they both have great changes that benefit both member and advertisers. One of them is doing task. Both NeoBux and ClixSense are now offering tasks (called Mini Jobs in NeoBux) to do from CrowdFlower so that members can earn more even without investing.





Today, we want to blog about our first time experience in doing tasks both in NeoBux and in ClixSense. We have a separate section where we will discuss about each site's technicalities and features regarding tasks.

ClixSense Tasks

So what happened? It's really amazing! Doing tasks daily, especially when you have spare time, makes you earn more. You just need to follow all the easy steps provided by CrowdFlower. Most tasks are searching data that you need to enter on their database.

Both sites have their own disclaimer that they have a time delay for receiving your credits in doing tasks but in my case, I received them in just a refresh of my browser.




Below is an image of what we've earn doing tasks:

Image of our Earnings by doing tasks in NeoBux in ClixSense.
Image is for sample purpose only. We completed two (2) Mini Jobs in NeoBux
and 11 tasks from Clixsense

Tasks are very helpful especially for standard members. If you are a solo earner in PTC, doing this everyday will surely increase your earnings!

My ClixSense Account Restored

Being with the PTC industry since 2007, of course, I already have a ClixSense account. I lost my ClixSense access after losing my motivation to click and after a few months, I already forgot my username and password.

Launching "The Click Brothers" means a great challenge for us since we are starting back to zero and we want to document all of our activities. We even managed to create a new NeoBux (which I have blogged already) as well as a brand new ClixSense account. We are so lucky today because I tried to put all the passwords and usernames I used to have and yes, I was able to restore my old Clixsense account.

I know it is a little bit unfair for our new Neobux account since the other one has already have a little earning. We want to start to blog about ClixSense with this account. But before we continue, I want to introduce it to you and how it started:

My restored ClixSense Account

As you can see, I was a member since March 17, 2011 and upgraded to premium which is worth $14.95. I don't even remember why I upgraded to premium at that time! Foolish little me. LoL

Also, currently, I have 6 referrals in which only one is active. I may consider this account as a baby account since it only has one active referral plus the premium membership will expire this December. Regarding our newly created ClixSense account, we will close it since we don't need two accounts.

I know many PTC users are already earning big in ClixSense and we want to earn here, too. So brothers, happy Clix-earnings!

How to Kill Boredom in Clicking Ads

Click ads everyday is a very boring task. Admit it, yes it is. I found myself being bored too in clicking ads on PTC websites. Doing this everyday considering the number of websites you joined multiply by the number of ads they have daily multiply by the number of seconds they load for every view equals "Arrggghhh!!! I can't take this anymore!"

This is one of the greatest challenges that every PTC user experiences. Some PTC members quit because of this. Though this is quite a small problem, every member and PTC owners should take this seriously. So, how do we deal with this boredom in click ads?


According to Wikipedia, "Boredom is an emotional state experienced when an individual is left without anything in particular to do, and not interested in their surroundings". It is also “an unpleasant, transient affective state in which the individual feels a pervasive lack of interest in and difficulty concentrating on the current activity.”

Image source from Google. Credits to the owner.

Well, to tell you honestly, this is not an article to make you 100% awake and motivated. I'm not so sure if what I always do are applicable for all you. As for me, dealing with boredom requires a conditional mindset and outlook to keep you doing a repetitive task. To get it more simple, clicking ads doesn't require any critical thinking and awareness. Anyone can click ads using their subconscious mind. If you focus your mind on clicking ads and counting with the ad timer, eventually your mind will get tired thus the feeling of being bored comes in. Another situation is when you are too conscious with the click rates and the money you accumulated for a day. The latter one is more dangerous than the first  since it can affect your interest on the whole PTC system itself rather than being bored just by clicking ads.

So what do I do with the "subconscious mind" thing? I let my mind do other things I need to do while clicking ads without thinking of the latter. Let say for example, while clicking ads, I used to think of some topic that I want to blog about or any movies I want to watch over the next weekend. I also used to think of what just happened on our school today, or plan my day ahead for tomorrow and many more. Thinking other things that you can plan of while clicking is a good idea to kill my boredom.

Another thing that I always do is to play my favorite songs and singing with it. A song is compose if an average of 3 mins and a NeoBux normal advertisement (including AdPrize) runs about 5 seconds (with respect to the internet speed and the ad itself). That means, a whole song can cover about 30 ads. Playing three of my favorite songs will make me realize that I've already finished clicking all of my Neobux ads and AdPrize without realizing it.

Regarding about being bored because of the click rates and your accumulated main balance, well it still goes with out mindset and how we perceive it. If you are the type of person who rushes things, easily get annoyed or pessimistic, then you easily feel this kind of mental state. However, if you will put right things in your mind, you can easily overcome this. Remember, at the beginning, this is not an easy-to-get-rich activity. Also, as a newbie, this is not a job. Always think of this as a hobby on your daily life. Most of all, keep in your mind that a mile begins with a single step.

Always have a positive outlook in your life. The way on how you perceive things greatly affect your behavior and eventually your habit in life as your habit is another thing to consider for your own success.

You may agree or disagree with the things I just said on this article. But to make myself clear, these are all based on my opinion and the actual things I do in my activities. Hopefully, I was able to inspire you with my article. If you have other ways to kill your boredom while clicking ads or in PTC itself, kindly share it with us and we will appreciate it. Also, please respect our ideas as much as we will respect yours!

Happy earning, brothers!

My NeoBux - After 15 Days

It's been two weeks since I registered here in NeoBux. I'm so excited to write about some of my progress here.

Here is a glimpse to my account after 15 days:

NeoBux account status after 15 days

I've already earned more than $1 within after two (2) weeks without referral and by just being a standard member. Thanks to AdPrize, I was able to hit this half of the minimum payout in half a month being alone. LoL. Anyway, this is a good start.

Since I'm now on my Day 15, I can now use my referral link to invite my friends to join NeoBux! Click here to see how to use the referral link in NeoBux. According to NeoBux' ToS 3.10:

3.10.

Users can only have direct referrals after being a member for at least 15 days and having at least 100 clicks. Any attempts to get them before that will fail.

I've already seen 425 advertisements since Day 1 so I am now all set. Let's see what will happen next.
