You might not know of them, but thousands of sites are popping up daily which throw out promises of cash to just watch or click on ads. A large portion of these sites are run out of people’s bedrooms, and often go out of business in the blink of an eye. Still, there are a few larger ones out there, which have been around for a long time (at least in pay-to-click standards.) Three of the most notable are: Bux.to , Clicksense , and Neobux. I decided to take a look at these sites, and below is what I have found.
Basically, people can make money from these sites two different ways. One, a person can just click the ads and get paid around .01 per website viewed (quite a time waster), or two, they could sign up as a “premium member”, which is an option offered by most of these sites. Usually, these members will have to pay a fee to the site, but then will be able to earn more per click on each ad. (I know, it sounds ludicrous. Why should you have to pay money to make it?) Additionally, these sites often encourage you to refer other members, as you will make a percentage on whatever ads they click as well. According to many users of Bux.to, Clicksense and Neobux, this is the big money making area, as all of your referers are basically making you money while you sleep.
So are these sites scams or not? According to many users, the sites listed above are legitimate and do pay. There are hundreds of forums postings with pictures of checks people have received. Still, don’t hold your breath while waiting for your pay-check, as there are multiple reports of delayed or extremely late payments. Better late than never though, right? These sites are not exactly my cup of tea, as they can sometimes require lots of work or effort, but you might want to give them a try and see how you like them yourself.
Good Luck!

Hi again! To continue on with theme week, I am going to make today “Tip Tuesday.” So, today I am going to share a useful online job tip, which is… Use work at home forums. Work at home forums are great places to meet other stay at home workers and discuss job opportunities, possible scams, and helpful info on working at home. There are many work at home forums, but by far the largest and easiest to use is Wahm. Wahm, which stands for “Work at Home Moms,” currently has over 1,927,840 posts and 66,943 members. This forum has some of the friendliest work at homers who happily will help you out with any problems you have. It was this forum that helped me to start working at home. Work at home forums are great ways to get in touch with the work at home community. Additionally, many potential employers will post their job searches on Wahm. Though I love using Wahm, there are two other forums that are also pretty good. These are: Work-at-home-forum and Workathomeforum. Both have multiple benefits for stay at home workers. I highly recommend that you check them out. Enjoy!

Hi again! In the post I made two days ago, I discussed two different companies which pay you to make posts in other people’s forums. Of the two that I tried, (forumbooster.net and postingdirect.com) ForumBooster was by far the better option. So in this post I will mainly focus on ForumBooster. When you sign up with an account for ForumBooster they usually will give you around 16 forums to post in. There is no minimum amount of posts that you can make, but there is a maximum of 15 posts per forum. Additionally, ForumBooster starts you off at 10 cents a post. Once you have made 200 posts, you are paid 12 cents a post, and after 500 posts you are then paid 15 cents a posts. If you do the math, (16 forums, 15 posts a day, 10 cents a post) you will come out with $24 a day, $168 dollars a week. Granted, this isn’t a ton of money, but it does help. With ForumBooster, they pay out to Paypal every Monday. There is a minimum of 100 posts to receive a payout, but that is pretty easy to achieve. I found ForumBooster’s website to be simple to use and navigate. Their support was extremely helpful with any questions I had, and they paid out right on time! Because of this, I highly recommend ForumBooster as a way to make some extra work-at-home money.

Many people post in forums for fun conversation, but did you know that you can actually get paid for posting? Neither did I until just this week, when a reader submitted a question about it to me. Basically, different companies will pay you to make posts in their clients’ forums. From what I have seen, on average the pay is around 10 cents a posts ($10/100 posts). While this doesn’t seem like a lot, it quickly adds up. At first, I was a little skeptical as to why companies would want to pay you to post in forums, but then I found an explanation. Basically, when a forum is first created, it has no posts, so people visiting it are unlikely to post. So, the forum owner will pay to have people make posts in the forum, making the forum appear to be popular. This will help to generate more organic posts from non-paid posters, which will get the forum started. So far, I have signed up for two different posting companies: http://forumbooster.net/ and postingdirect.com, but I plan on signing up for a few more. Next week I will make a post reviewing these companies and will discuss which ones are reliable and pay the most. Until Then,
Lisa

Recently, I have been receiving a lot of emails about a work at home company known as Chacha. For those of you who do not know, Chacha was a search engine, (similar to Google,) except that unlike regular search engines, Chacha’s employees do all of the work for you. For example, say you wanted to find a few websites with articles on training dogs. All you would have to do is say that you were looking for dog training websites, and the Chacha employees “guides” would search for the articles for you, and then provide you with links to websites with the content you are looking for. At least, that is how Chacha worked when they first started out. When I worked for Chacha, it was still in beta phase, and let me say that the experience was not a good one. Most of the searches were done by pranksters who just wanted to make us search for vulgar things. In addition, many guides complained about not receiving their payments. After a while, I just decided to leave. Recently though, Chacha has taken a turn for the better. It now is a search engine for people with cell phones. If someone has a question, they just have to send a text message to Chacha and then get a reply back. This has greatly cut down on the amount of spammers, and from what I have heard Chacha now treats its guides better. This is why I think that Chacha is a great new work at home company to work for. To work for Chacha, all you usually have to do is just apply, and then if you are accepted, you will be given a series of tests. This will include an IQ test as well as a test on how well you can navigate the web. Don’t worry, even though the test appears difficult when you are taking them, they are actually very easy to pass. Testing can usually be completed in one sitting. If you finally become an employee, you get paid for answering people’s questions. What could be an easier job than that? If you want to apply, or would like more information, just visit the link below. Enjoy!

What do you do when call volume is slow or you just need a quick break from your work at home job? Well, I recently discovered Moola.com, a fun (but frustrating) way to make money online. Unlike other money makers, you make money on Moola by playing games against other players and betting the amount to win. Here’s how it works. Moola starts off your account by giving you one penny. Wow, I know that’s not much, but wait. When playing a game, you get a choice to go double or nothing with that penny. If you win, then you have two pennies. Say you win again, that’s 4. When you see their website, it is easy to see how you can easily keep doubling your money until you have a significant sum. When (or if) you reach $10, you can cash out, or keep playing for up to more than $10 million dollars. I know what you are thinking- Isn’t online gambling illegal? Well, according to Moola, their way isn’t, since unlike regular gambling sites, you DO NOT actually have to put in your own money, but instead start off with a penny from Moola. Moola then makes its own money by periodically showing ads to us, the users. The company seems pretty reliable with big name advertisers from all over the United States. After I played a few rounds, I got up to about $3, and then quickly lost it all. To me, Moola is a frustrating game that I cannot gain any headway with. Still, though there are only a limited amount of games, they are fun and slightly addicting. Next time you’re bored, check Moola out!

How would you like to be able to get paid for calling soon to be parents? Well, this is exactly what working at Babytobee is like. Basically, you are paid usually a set amount per hour to go over different free offers that companies are willing to give to the parents. This is not spam or telemarketing, as all of the people who are being called have either signed up themselves to be called, or have been submitted by a friend. From what I have heard, the pay with Babytobee is about $10/hour, which is pretty good for working at home. Pay is currently weekly by direct deposit.
You can visit their website here:
http://www.babytobee.com/index.aspx
As far as I can tell, your best chances of getting the job are by emailing this person who works for the company:
seth@babytobee.com
Good Luck!
