On an interactive learning curve...

A few days ago - just over a week ago, that is (On December 3, 2014) - I followed someone's twitter message/link and got myself into a whole bunch of BUSY...

The twitter message said that said a traffic exchange owner was giving away free upgrades, along with this in the twitterer's comment box:

"WHAT!?"

The message also held a link to a spreecast that was in progress where a TE owner was, indeed, giving out free upgrades...

With a catch.

The catch is... that the people receiving the upgrades would work with the TE owner via skype over the next 30 days to promote and get TE referrals. In a "case study" akin to a 30 day challenge/contest.

The TE owner wanted to see how people are promoting - that is, everyday "Joes" and a couple of "Janes" - how people spend their time promoting TEs in TEs and other advertising and social sites...

The TE owner that gave me a 30 day upgrade is...

TONY TEZAK

And I'm tryin' to get referrals at Tezak Traffic Power...

I'm learning a LOT from Tony Tezak's comments and suggestions in Skype chat and from other participants in the challenge/study...

For part of several days, participants have just been VIBRATING with energy, floating in and out of the skype chat that gets opened every day and closes whenever the last one of us that is awake falls off a chair haha. Sometimes there is grabbing of others' links, promoting others... it's pretty cool.

I'm slow off the mark but working steadily here - NO REFERRALS yet but I'm not sure this venture is going to be a "successful money-maker" but instead might just be one of those interactive learning curve experiences - and a good one.

I'll update again once I get a bit more TE pages viewed... and will also gather some links that fellow participants are working with, articles they're writing and sharing that are basically turning into a bunch of team work!

P.S.

Thx, Janelle P, for getting me into this curve:

it's after 1am in Canada, so I'll surf a bit and get some rest so I can view the AF webinar with fellow participants tomorrow! 

One Thing I Pay For - Shockwave Traffic

The way I operate, most of the earning/traffic sites I use are with a free membership until I earn enough funds to earn an upgrade or purchase I want to make at a particular site.

I got involved with one Traffic Exchange, Shockwave Traffic, that only allows a short free membership time period. Then you have to upgrade to have a working account. I have the lower upgrade (a monthly subscription, under $5US per month) in effect currently but am impressed with this site and hope to work myself up to the top upgrade (under $20/mo).


Join Shockwave Traffic Today

I've been a paid member at Shockwave Traffic for several months and I think it's worth the upgrade. Shockwave Traffic is changing my mind about always surfing for free. I'm starting to plan upgrades at other sites in my head but am still collecting funds from around the net and don't plan on investing my offline money yet in other sites. I'm just continuing to surf at my fave sites and at this "Pro - Only" TE, Shockwave Traffic.






The benefits of a paid membership at this site are:

• Everyone who maintains an account is a paid member
• Your pages/ads are being shown to proven buyers
• Your ads are shown to those who are active members
• Paid members tend to be more active than freebie seekers
• Response results are HIGH at Shockwave Traffic
• Shockwave Traffic TASK FORCE surfing (teams)

I'm on a Task Force team, which gives me more benefits, more ad views across at least 3 additional sites (the three sites change weekly).

Earning Tiny is Okay!

This might not be what everyone wants to hear but for go-getters and people who don't mind working hard, there are tiny bits of cash to be found all over the net.

Working with PTC, PTR, PTP, and Traffic Exchange programs and links will be time-consuming at first but the income generated from these programs is pretty stable, depending on YOUR personal adherence to daily necessary tasks.

Once you overcome the easy but pointed tasks of logging in to multiple sites, arranging links to where they're supposed to go for promoting and earning, and once you reach some surfing milestones so that you're on the plus side of many credits, earning gets easier.

On your way to earning credits (while you're surfing the Traffic Exchanges), you're going to come across hundreds of pages suggesting that you do something EASIER, FASTER to earn money. If you've got the cash in your payment processors to fork out for the easier, faster programs, by all means, try them... but beware - most are going to be earning programs that depend on other peoples' actions. In other words, you're going to have to rely on a lot of other people to earn with most high ticket programs and sites. You'll probably have to depend on other people buying stuff in order to earn.

I like PTC and PTR programs because I earn whether I get one, fifteen, a hundred or NO referrals at all. I never earn if I don't log in and click links, but then again, if I DO log in and click links, my earnings are mostly due to my own work. This is slow going and slow earning by myself and of course referrals are welcome but again I'll say in another way - with PTC and PTR programs I earn based on my own efforts and don't necessarily have to rely on other people in order to make money.

Currently, I have $2 - $42 in a number of programs and estimate that I have around $200 sitting in various PTR/PTC site dashboards. This estimate is low and conservative as I have been using earned funds for internal upgrades and purchases in many programs - the internal workings are hard to make claims about as sometimes credits are more useful than small cash amounts. Anyway, for some earning programs, the minimum cashout is $2, $3, $5, or $10 and in some programs I've reached a low level minimum cashout but am not concerned with cashing out under fifteen or twenty dollars right now (I'm saving up more to cash out just before Christmas this year!).

     e.g. My Clixsense balance is over $40, my Cash n Hits balance is over $7 right now, and I just re-started earning with Wordlinx after cashing out funds and sending back to upgrade. Had I left my earnings alone at Wordlinx, then right now I'd have around $60 sitting in dashboards in just those three programs.

I regularly log in to about 20 core programs. Each time I perform a daily log in, links are waiting for me. All I need to do is click for cash...

Now $60 doesn't sound like a whole lot of money but to me, it is. I live on a limited (disability) income and click programs allow me to earn money when I'm not mobile enough to do other things.

Earning TINY sums is just fine with me - especially when I don't need to rely on anyone else to earn the money or do an action in order for me to get paid. By "do an action" I mean - I don't have to rely on someone believing any hype I pitch in order for me to get sales and earnings. At the most basic level, I don't have to sell anything with PTC/PTR programs. At more active levels (as an active referrer/sponsor), yes, I like to sell the idea of someone earning WITH me as my referral, but I never have to ask anyone to actually fork out money to me. 

I just have to show up, log in, and click...
