A New PTC Site Run By Filipinos: PinoyBux

Good news Filipinos! I was just introduced by a Filipino Blogger and a friend to a new Paid to Click Program known as PinoyBux. It resembles the names of other ptc sites. From the name itself, it's run by Filipinos. Yes it's newly launched and looking at the site itself, it is the same as other PTC sites like buxto. The layout, the look, the navigation, etc, exactly the same if not almost a 100% identical. See the similarity below.

Pinoybux is a PTC program and it's a very very slow money maker! Unless you get hundreds of referrals and you can do that by upgrading your account. Pinoybux pays $.01 per click. You can cash out via paypal when your account reaches $10.

The unique thing about Pinoybux is that pinoys can actually get their earnings even if they have not reached the $10 via GCash or mobile load.

If you are a Globe and Touch Mobile user, you can request for your earnings via Globe G-Cash anytime once you earned a minimum of $2.50 or P100.00. Or, you can request for your earnings to be converted into cellphone load once you made $0.50 or P20.00. Globe, Touch Mobile, Smart, and Talk&Text subscribers are welcome to apply.

I so like this idea so much that I immediately signed up. I know I can reach the $2.50 or the 100 PHP in a month's time or even less so that means I can get a free load. Hahaha! Got what I mean?! Am not forward to getting rich through Pinoybux, it's just impossible but I'm after my free load. I always visit my blogs everyday or every other day so I might as well do some clicking during those times. And oh, this is a good way for teens to get their free mobile loads..

Just signing up today you can see the ads I clicked and the earnings I have made.

Got Myself An MP3/MP4 Player: Thanks AWSurveys!

The $50 I got from AWSurveys is now a handy small gadget which I carry with me in my pocket. I just bought myself a new MP3/MP4 Player.

There are still speculations about how legit AWSurveys is. I just thought I might just spend the easy $50 I earned from the program to a tangible item that will serve as a reminder that once I joined a program that others call a scam and turned out I got paid! A move I would regret if I have not done so.


Am waiting for my 2nd payout again at the end of May probably. This time I already have plans of buying another gadget. For curious people out there, you can visit AWSurveys to learn more about how you can make money from this site.

Those who try can hope for some gain and those who don't well there's nothing to hope!

Another Clixsense Proof of Payment

Yesterday another Clixsense check arrived at my doorsteps. It was worth $19 and c04 It arrived by snail mail. It was sent April 1 and arrived only this May. How I wish Clixsense will pay through paypal. It could have been easier and way faster.

I shall be encashing the check tomorrow at our local money changer. I will be spared from waiting for the clearing of checks as required by banks. I’d get the cash equivalent of the check instantly. I’m thinking of what I will do with the $19. In pesos worth, it’s more or less 700 pesos. Not bad money when I think of the little effort I do to get this amount. Every time I am online I just click some ads. I do that passively. This is one of the best GPT sites there is. It's legit and anyone( kids, teenagers, adults) can click on the ads passively.

Anyway, perhaps I’ll just use the money to treat my friends to a good snack. A blessing received can be a blessing to others as well.

High SERP for "Teens Make Money Online"

It's amazing how things turned out these past days! I've been noticing an improvement in my SERP for the keyword "teens make money online" but today brought the surprise. I used Link Ezer dot com to check on the standing of this blog for the keyword "teens make money online". And these are the results:

click the images to enlarge

This blog makes it to the top 20, hitting the top 7 and top 8 in certain countries like USA, Canada, UK, India, Pakistan etc. I never do any optimization for these keywords. I can't even remember submitting my posts about how can teens make money online to any directory or any social bookmarking site. In the past months this blog only ranks somewhere between 80th to 120th position in google.

My friend Kirby was supposed to be dominating this keyword. I suspect his blog was penalized just like what happened to my other blog. Now his blog is nowhere to be found in the top 100. While my blog sits at the 7th and 8th position. ( See image below). According to my friend there's a good traffic coming from these keywords so that i will find out soon enough.

So what could have caused this? Somebody has to explain this to me! I did lost my top 14th spot for keyword "make money online" (am somewhere in the 113 spot for Google USA), so my problem now is how to maintain my position for "teens make money online". Any ideas?

Make Money With Yieldy at $1 Payout

Yieldy is a new advertising company wherein bloggers can earn money by simply placing banner ads in their blogs. There is no requirement such as page rank or the number of impressions per month that your site gets. New blogs and old blogs are welcome. It's a pay per click program so you get paid per click. The minimum payout is low at only $1, sent through your paypal account on a monthly basis. This is what I like the most. The low payout is achievable in a month's time so you can make money really fast. This is in comparison to Google Adsense or Adbrite or Bidvertiser and other ppc program. The program is still new and I'll be keeping an eye on how this program turns out in a few months.

This is how the yieldy banner looks like. The banner changes from time to time as there is a rotation of Advertisers. The ads can also look really flashy and interactive at times quite similar to the ads at widgetbucks.For a live sample just scroll down this page to see the live Yieldy Banner that I am currently using. It's just below the google search box. Yieldy has no referral program. But perhaps there will be one soon so that bloggers can make more money. Anyway if you are curious you can check yieldy here.

Important Update: A friend told me about Adsense ads showing in the yieldy banner. According to Adsense Policies, two publisher IDs in one blog is not allowed. So for now be cautious in placing the yieldy code to your blogs. I will investigate further and will keep you updated. Just to be safe: Don't use Yieldy together with your adsense ads.

Teens Resort To Sex For Money

Reports of Teens resorting to sex for money saddens me. Everyone needs money but do people need to engage in some kind of prostitution to get it. Prostitution is a dirty work. Although I hate to judge the people who do this kind filthy source of income, but come on people you can do more than just offering your bodies for sex. You can do a better, more decent work and yet make a decent amount of income. Prostitution as far as am concerned springs more from laziness and not poverty. Success in every endeavor requires hard work and a little bit of luck for some.

Looking back, the selling of flesh for money is the sphere of the adults, now it has become a job for many teenagers and underage children. The world has gone mad and seeing more and more teens and children selling their bodies for some cash is alarming. I am not a teen anymore, but back then I always knew how to make money with just a small money as capital. I would buy a pack of candies and sell it to my friends and I earn money. I do work for other people and get paid. Money comes to me as a teenager through decent ways that I can be proud of. Teens can even make money online, in the same way that I make money online despite having to battle school and blogging together. It's possible and I encourage teens to use the web decently to make money. Its difficult at the very beginning but it gets easier along the way. If you don't like blogging or facing the web to generate cash, its not bad to apply for work at restaurants or even do tutorials for younger children or walk dogs for some dollars. Oftentimes the opportunities are there, it's us the people who don't take time to find them.

How Can Teens Make Money Online?

The internet is a world of money making opportunities for teenagers. I often read about teens making extra money in front of their computers. In fact,personally, I know a lot of teens who makes about 5 thousand pesos or roughly $100 every month using the internet. How?

1. Play Games and Quizzes. Teens love playing games, counter strike or half life, DOTA, Warcraft and other popular games. I know this myself because we run a computer rental business and almost 90 percent of our customers are teens, ranging from high school students to freshmen and sophomores. These teens play about 2 hours to 5 hours online (some up to 10 hours) playing against other online players from all over the world and if they win they earn a few dollars. Check out my post about making money online by playing right here.

2. Make A Blog. Teens have wild active, creative minds. They can blog about almost anything and they never run out of ideas. Teens can create free blogs like that provided by blogger and have some ads displayed on it. Teens can be paid on a click basis or cost per thousand impression.

3. Participate in Surveys. What's so great about surveys like Panda Research is that they are for free. You risk nothing but your time and very minimal effort. Teens can participate on a weekly basis in surveys and generate as much as $150 a month depending on how many surveys they participate in. For Survey Programs you can check a list here.

4. Sell At Ebay. Teens can pool their resources, old items, old gadgets, old cellphones or new tshirts and sell at ebay.

5. Join GPT Sites or Get Paid To Sites. Teens can make the most of these GPT sites like Clixsense because they can convince their friends, classmates, schoolmates to join under their referrals. Many referrals is the key to making more money from GPT sites.

6. Sell Photos Online. Teens can sell their funny and unique photos online and earn. For links to help you sell photos click here.
