The Truth.....

Ok so we've probably heard of these 'get this for FREE!!!!' but i mean really can you get something for nothing? Well if you have friends and family who are willing to help or a good online community you can talk to then you could well get the latest console for next to nothing....

The main site i use now is FreebieTwist, i've got off them so far, an xbox 360 elite, £40 amazon vouchers, 3 console games, 2 powerballs and have a new ipod waiting to be shipped along with nearly £300 in bank transfers.....believe it or not. So how do i get them?

Well now i use two of the main sites of FreebieTwists, Points and PayDay. PayDay is a new site that pays you per offer you do. The most commonly used offers are ringtone offers and in doing them you'll get between £2.50 and £3, you'll also get 10p per person you sign up AND 25%!!!! of whatever they earn so suddenly if you go on holiday for a week, your friend carries on doing offers, your earning whilst your on holiday! not bad :)

PayDay also has free offers such as newsletter sign ups and even simple kelkoo online searches! PayDay pays monthly either via bank transfer or via amazon vouchers (your choice)!.

Another site i use is the Points site of FreebieTwist which has the same layout but this time offers = points, points = gifts (of different point values) and you get 21% of anyone you refers points.

Why not have a go and see for yourself?

Points

PayDay

if you need further proof have a look at the Forum

After a long time away....

I bring tidings of a website that you should definitely check out. Granted it's a PayPerPost reason i'm posting about it, but it is of genuine interest. 5.11 is a great site not only for clothing, but also for freebies, visit the section called 'Freebies' to see the latest things that this site will GIVE YOU when you order.

If that's not incentive enough to buy from them i suggest you have a look at the many different sections of the site, from clothing to outdoor knives and bags this is a great site to kit yourself out for a camping holiday or to play indiana jones with the kids (just in time for the new movie release). Though i don't suggest or recommend waving a knife in front of kids, purely the clothing.

LA Police Gear...

A site i stumbled accross that plays host to police gear for you to buy for yourself. From flashlights to footwear, knee pads to ID tags, this site has it all.

Though a site you might not think to have a look on straight off, i say have a look, the great thing about the net is that it's free to look around without having some jumped up sales assistant trying to make you buy something.

Yes they sell knives and axes too so it really is getting the true police look, great for 'theme' nights or just for strutting your stuff and playing make believe ;)

Pretty Pleased with PayPerPost...

What can i say about PayPerPost....well i guess i should start as to why i joined, easy, clue's in the title, paid to post about things. I blog anyway so why not be paid to do it? with always changing opportunities PayPerPost helps you to find new things on the internet and then to be paid to speak your mind about them.

I joined after hearing about paid post websites and heard this one was reputable and so thought i would give it a go, live and let live. Although only blogging a bit at the moment i see the site as being addictive in a search to earn and explore new opportunities on the site.

With a large community of earners now established it's a great place to make new friends and network.

The money i earn will go to a few different bits....bills, xbox games, birthday presents and hopefully if i clear all my bills etc, some to charity. In posting i'm also helping to spread awareness of my blog and get more visitors to it and also to PayPerPost.

As much fun as typing up my statistics on Bux is, it's nice that there's sites out there that will pay the average user money to write about things, with an ever increasing internet it's getting harder to find a place that will pay you to type your thoughts without being tied into a 9-5 for it or being tied to set times. You can have a look for yourself in the blog ads.

That's the great thing about PPP, there's no pressure, you can post as and when you want according to opportunities you see and want to write about.

So why not join today and see for yourself :)

Another Day....Another Idea

2008-04-08T10:49:00.000-07:00

Ok so as you may have worked out, aside from this blog being about Bux.to it's also about making money online...

therefore let me explain the idea of Freebies. These incentive programmes have been running for a fair few years now with the BBC even covering some of them to see how real they are. Whilst most are indeed legit ways to get free consoles etc, some are scams so make sure you stick to ones you know.

So what is it exactly?

Freebie sites offer you the chance to get things like an Xbox 360 Elite console for a certain amount of referrals (on one site this is 14). You sign up, complete an offer (some are free and there are often many to choose from, from a ringtone site to a credit card application) and then get your friends to do the same, when they complete the offer you get a credit signifying that they have completed the offer. Do this the stated 'referrals needed' times to get the console, then order and wait.....and be prepared to wait a fair while on some sites as they have to wait for sponsors to pay them to buy your gift.

Essentially it's a i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine, they give you a console/vouchers/phone/laptop/tv etc if you complete the offers, the offers are sponsors, the sponsors pay the freebie site, voila a nice little transaction.

So how do you get involved? well there's many sites involved but the most reputable are FreePay, FreebieTwist, FreeAlbum and the KudosNetwork (from my experience).

The rules are simple, don't try and cheat the system, one IP per offer credit (e.g. you can't just use loads of mobiles and home and do the ringtone offer on them all, they do check!) and essentially, be patient, support is available if you run into problem but try and keep in mind it's something for free, so don't expect it sent the next day.

Interested? i'll post a few links up from the sites i'm using (currently awaiting an Xbox 360 Elite from FreebieTwist) and Free CD from FreeAlbum to get you started:-

Freebie Twist

NextGen.FreebieTwist - PS3, Xbox 360/Elite, Nintendo DS & Wii (just 6 friends for a DS)

Vouchers.FreebieTwist - Amazon vouchers up to £500! (nice and low referrals needed on this)

HighDef.FreebieTwist - 14 friends gets you a HD TV!!!

MP3.FreebieTwist - nice and low referral MP3 players, the latest ipods on here

Computers.FreebieTwist - big computer packages on here but also little accessories like mice

Freebie Freaks

Gadgets.FreebieFreaks - vouchers, memory card, dvd player....and other gadgets

MP3.FreebieFreaks - vouchers available but also lots of different mp3 players to choose from

Gaming.Freebiefreaks - controllers and games and a few other bits

Vouchers.FreebieFreaks.co.uk - vouchers again, up to £50 but amazon, play.com and argos vouchers available

FreeAlbum - just one referral gets you an album!

anyone wanting more information add a comment here and i'll try and help as best i can

Updating on current earnings from various sites, remember that i've only invested in Bux.to, the rest are standard user memberships and free to join (if you do please leave me as you referrer):-

Paid.vg - $2.05 - essentially i'm giving up on this one, it's quick loading but not a lot of ads so will take around 5 months to get to the minimum $10

Bux3.com - $4.59 - much better, a fair few ads on this one so i'm sticking with this for a bit, the true test will be when payments due

World-Bux.com - from the owners of Bux3.com so, i'm hopeful

MySearchFunds (earn from just using them as a search engine)- not been searching that much so -

Searches: 264

Earnings: £5.89

GreasyPalm - £27.69 - good earner from PhotoBox that does cheap good quality digital photo printing, £1.75 cashback per order!

Pigsback - nice site, simple to use, not the biggest earners a lot of the time but the occasional competiton/free sample and quick 5 PiggyPoint offers got me a £10 voucher already and i'm back up to £2.89 again working for a HMV voucher

During March so far i have made:- £15.26

I purchased 15 referrals on March 6th though so total is:- £6.91 this month

Doesn't sound a lot i know but bearing in mind there's still the on going stat delay, when it's fixed it should look a bit healthier and i have still cleared the outgoing cost of the referrals very quickly.

The New Bux.to Card

2008-03-04T15:55:00.000-08:00

Pricing for the new payment method from Bux.to, the Bux.to Card

Card activation within the US - $9.95/Per card
Card activation for Non US - $9.95/Per card - me in the UK: £5.01
Loading payments - $2.00/Per load - £1
Monthly account maintenance (Taken from available card balance each month) - $3.00/Per card - £1.50
ATM withdrawal within US $1.35/Per Transaction
ATM withdrawal outside US $2.15/Per Transaction - £1.08
Declined ATM withdrawal (When withdrawal request is declined) - $0.90/Per Transaction

So the Bux.to Card will be here and according to the Admins:-

'process should take less than a few working days to pay into the card, roughly same time as we process your ref/ad orders'

meaning very speedy payouts hopefully (though i assume it will be swarmed for at least the first month of activation)

Essentially if i want a card i pay £5 to activate it as a one off fee, then £1.50 a month maintenance for the card (£18 a year) £1 to put money on to the card then if i want money out at the ATM it'll cost me £1.08 each time.

I guess as long as the amount going in is higher than £10 or so it'll be worth it for fast payments but i may use it as a holding bay for emergency money or wait until i get to around £200 then withdraw it all for £1.08 instead of in bits and charged each time

Good idea, lets hope it all pays off and redeems faith in Bux after 'the stats issue'

Other Earners?

What if Bux goes? can't afford to invest in it and want to earn elsewhere?

I'm not trying to influence but i am part of the following sites...

GreasyPalm - at around £14, payout at £25. (Daily Cashback clicks of £0.02 and £0.04)

GreasyPalm is a cashback site so it comes into its own when you make purchases online, big cashbacks for places like ebay and Play.com but it has many many sites listed and so make sure you check before you buy online.

Save online.... MyCoucherCodes, VoucherCodes, EverydaySale

- these are all sites that have users listing voucher codes daily received by the post or email or seen on message boards so before you buy, check on these sites to see if you can save some money :)

The way i shop....

Find the product > Cashback site, click the retailers link > Check for discount (in separate window so it doesnt stop the cashback tracking) > Buy at discount and with cashback (if you're lucky and get both)

Pigsback

Pigsback is another cashback style website but instead of paying out money, it allows you to get vouchers for places like HMV and Pizzahut or give a donation to a number of charities, you earn through clicks on affiliates listed on the website (some are quick and just need a click to earn), they have competitions to earn points, free registrations for sites to earn points etc. Although not always huge money to be made, it's shaved £10 off my Pizzahut meal :)

Paid.vg - scam or not? same vein as Bux.to and other PTC sites, i've joined, wont be buying any referals and just seeing if it's legit really

Bux3.com- as the name suggests, another Bux style site, this ones fairly new so i figure i'll give it a go and see if it dies like so many others. Again i wont be buying referals, just seeing if i can earn through clicks and get paid

I'll post occasional updates such as this one and keep you up to date on my Paid.vg and Bux3.com experiences, hope this has been helpful to some of you, please leave a comment if it has.

Keeping track of Bux

2008-02-24T16:00:00.000-08:00

Ok so, 1.5 million or so members can't be wrong right?....

Well, the whole mass PTC thing means people are very quick to call Bux.to a scam, but i'm here to show my side of the experience, just a user like you (if you are, or if not go to www.bux.to to find out what exactly im on about here).

Having invested around...

£38 on referals and Premium membership

Referals - real people who signed up without a referal, your put as the referal and earn each time they click an advert

Premium membership - 1 year, earn $0.0125 instead of $0.01 per click for you and your referals and payment in 30 business days (60 if standard free member)

anyway im now around 2 and a bit months into it and at nearing £70, i cashed out (withdrew my earnings) at $10.07 (minimum is $10) on December 30th, being premium i was paid February 19th, ok so it's a long wait but if you're on free membership then well 'good things come to those who wait' and it is free after all!

I'll post daily updates wherever possible to track earnings to see the rise and fall of them and maybe help you judge for yourself if it's a 'scam' or legit and maybe join

if you do, please use referal danieljames

thanks
