ClickBank is just about the biggest website on the internet today as far as affiliates are concerned. If you want to make money online but you don’t have a product of your own to promote, what better solution could there be than to promote someone else’s in exchange for a slice of the profits?
ClickBank is a no brainer if you want to get started on no cash at all, and you have your choice of products to promote as well. It’s also a great chance to experiment a little and get to know what niches are profitable and which ones have the best products that you make the most sales on.
As far as an introduction to affiliate marketing goes, the best place to head to is definitely ClickBank…

Affiliate accounts are free at ClickBank, and once you have got yours you will need to take a look at the huge number of opportunities you have to promote products – mostly e-books – to your chosen audience.
Now you might be wondering how you can do this without having a website of your own or a blog you are hosting yourself, but all you need to do is get a free web page (or in fact as many as you like) from Squidoo. Check out the separate blog entry on that very subject to see how you can combine the two for maximum benefits.
If you do have a site of your own you can easily promote ClickBank products to your existing audience by searching for items that are likely to appeal to them. Use the search facility on ClickBank to help narrow down the number of products to sort through, and pick an appropriate category as well, to make sure you find the most suitable items.
You will get a dedicated link (called a hoplink) that will ensure you get a portion of the proceeds if someone clicks through to buy a product you have recommended. You can cloak this if you wish for extra security on your part by visiting one of the many free shortened URL sites online today.
The best way to profit from ClickBank is to focus on providing more than just an affiliate link for your customer to click on. The idea is to almost pre-sell the product before they even reach the sales page. You really need to be able to recommend it to them by stirring up some enthusiasm first.
A lot of affiliates get to the stage where they build a free web page (on Squidoo) or even a whole website on a specific subject, and write (or have someone else write) material that the visitors will find useful and interesting. In this way you are building a relationship with your visitors and projecting an image of someone that can be trusted and who knows a bit about what they are saying. It’s ironic really, but if you come across as an affiliate people will assume you are just out to make money and won’t even take a second look at the sales page you are trying to send them to – even if that product is really worth looking at.
Less is more when you are an affiliate trying to make money from ClickBank, and the more you remember that the more sales you are likely to make over time.
The good thing is that no matter how many different products you can promote, all your earnings will go straight into the same account, ready to be paid to you once you hit your payment threshold.
The best way to start with ClickBank is to find your way around the site and get to know how it works. Once you have done that start researching a few choice niches and develop things from there. Slowly but surely you will start to see results.
But before you head on over to ClickBank to sign up for your free account, make sure you leave a comment for us below! We always love to hear from you.

Bux.to
I have been using Paid to Click websites for about a year now and so far the best paid to click website I have found is Bux.to. Not only does it pay $0.01 an ad but at times when other leading paid to click websites went out of business and even websites like adbux displayed either no or little ads, bux.to remained at top and still gave at least 8 ads a day.
One of the best packages by Bux.to is its referral Packages. For those who find it difficult to refer people to bux.to, this difficulty can be overcome with a little investment i.e. Bux.to offers referral packages which can be purchased at an average of about $1 a referral and they are available in the following sets: 15, 35, 100 and 500.
I think that all are very beneficial, especially the set of 500 referrals because if you add up the earnings, by an investment of just $500 on this package you could make an income of $1500 every month.
Normal payout is through Alertpay. As a special service for their upgraded members they even give them a Bux.to Mastercard which is prepaid and you can spend your earnings through that card. The Premium membership package lasts for a year and costs only $59.
I tried contacting the bux.to support multiple times but had no luck. But still, I took a sleeping pill and took a rest on that matter. My account balance is still accumulating a lot of money every month and I’m still waiting on my payment. but they provide preference to the premium members and if you do upgrade then you may expect to receive prompt payments, like within 3 months.
If you are interested in joining bux.to to earn money then you may click here. If you want to ask any questions regarding bux.to you may comment to this post.
So if you’re in for some money making bigger than the ‘cents’ that you earn at paid to click websites then consider visiting the home page. There are defnintely a lot of articles around here that can help you make money. So best of luck with that!
Bux.to Rivalry with Adbux
After great rivalry with its competitor website Adbux, Bux.to successfully got the top spot and now is the most popular paid to click website. Like other websites Bux.to also pays you $0.01 for each ad that your referral views and so this can help you boost your earnings.Bux.to Referral Package

Bux.to Premium Membership
Moreover, if you become a premium Bux.to member, they pay you $0.015 for each click that you make and $0.015 for each click that your referral does. This means that if you first upgrade and then purchase a set of 500 referrals then instead of $1500 a month you would make $2250.Normal payout is through Alertpay. As a special service for their upgraded members they even give them a Bux.to Mastercard which is prepaid and you can spend your earnings through that card. The Premium membership package lasts for a year and costs only $59.
Bux.to Payment Proof
Although, you might have seen the ‘bux.to scam’ thing being tossed around I would be neutral on that matter. Reason being, I have been paid over $300 by Bux.to in the first year. However, I currently have a balance over $600 and requested around $100 on 30th May 2008 and my payment is still pending.I tried contacting the bux.to support multiple times but had no luck. But still, I took a sleeping pill and took a rest on that matter.

Bux.to Is No More Recommended
I think it would be unethical to blame a website even though I have a reason, but I have requested my payout for over 16 months now and still haven’t received it. If that triggers the ’spam’ filter in your mind then yes Bux.to is a scam. Not saying that out of personal hatred.Still Want To Make Money?

Happy 1st Anniversary - Bux.to
It’s been almost 1 year since Bux.to has been around, although I’m writing about it a little late but this was necessary because I’ve got something very cool to share with you. Bux.to came into existence on the Net on 12 Jun, 2007. Since that day, Bux.to has completely changed the way people look at Paid to click websites, which were once seen as scams are now seen as golden opportunities to earn. Bux.to has changed the lifes of many people, it has made people who were not even capable of earning more than $1000 a month by working, to more than $5000 a month through Bux.to
So now is there anyone left who still has not joined Bux.to? If you have not you are missing out a lot of free money, you can also view more information about Bux.to . If you’re interested then, Join Now!
Bux.to Payments
In a time span of 12 months, bux.to has paid over $1 million, I know that surprises people that how could a paid to click website pay so much, but that is a fact. They have over 4000 success stories, which they claim is very less compared to the number of their satisfied customers. For the upcoming year of Bux.to, they have planned a number of strategies which would make it even better. Since they’re moving to a new script for the website, they’ve got some cool features lined up.Bux.to Developments
I’ll just talk about those which I thought were going to make earning money on Bux.to easier and better. The first thing is Bux Reload, the only problem that I currently face at Bux.to is that their payments are too late, but processing thousands of payouts does take time, so in order to speed up the process, they came up with Bux Reload, I can’t wait till its in use, then I will not have to wait for my payments for so long. Then Bux.to is also going to be launching PayBux, which is a payment processor just like Alertpay and Paypal, for those who are having problems with Alertpay, which is their current payment processor, PayBux will solve your problems, I think that it is going to be available world-wide.Bux.to Lottery and Prizes
They are also introducing a lottery system, which according to estimates could be upto $50,000 or maybe even $100,000. One of their new aims is also to publicize Bux.to worldwide, both online and off line. As a starter to this I just saw a deal which gives you a Free Bux.to T-Shirt if you purchase 150 referrals, so you can help publicize Bux.to by wearing that T-Shirt. There are many more challenges for Bux.to, out of all these were the most important.So now is there anyone left who still has not joined Bux.to? If you have not you are missing out a lot of free money, you can also view more information about Bux.to . If you’re interested then, Join Now!
Why are there Banners of Paid to click Websites on this Blog?
A friend of mine who’s an affiliate marketing professional asked me that why are there ads of paid to click websites on the main and only advertising spot of this blog. You might yourself be pretty surprised with that but the answer is that because I was sick of Adbrite. Adbrite, the PPC website which offers money to bloggers for displaying ads from the Adbrite network on their blog, it may work for some other kind of a website, but in this case because of my fault it wasn’t working for me and in fact it was a distraction for my readers.
Imagine a blog which helps people to make money online is showing the ads which says “Moving House?”, totally unacceptable. Once a blue moon you’d see ads of web hosts or something related to the blog but most of the time, it would either say”Advertise on this site”, which is completely annoying or give some more stupid ads. Then I was told by my friend that it was actually some fault on my part too, Adbrite actually would show ads if the Ad Zone was meant for this blog, my fault was that I was using the same ad zones that I had set up for the previous version of this blog, those ads were meant for that and that pretty much explains the problem, moreover I had messed up the settings of Set Pricing, which had also blocked many ads for display here.
So now I made an ad Zone just for this spot, and actually to test that who was wrong because, that problem had hindered my earnings to just $0.5 a day, because of which I thought it was better to promote paid to click websites rather than getting embarrassing results. The Adbrite ad is back on its spot although right now it is gathering data to display Ads, shortly ads will be there. I have moved the paid to click Ads to the bottom of all articles, although hardly anyone will look over there, but I must promote my strong belief in Paid to click websites, also the Ads of paid to click websites got me some good results, so that is just another reason for it.

Double your Investment in 20 Days
Many people out there are willing to invest money on the Net with the hope that they’ll get paid off for it, but how about if I told you about something that could double your investment in 20 days, amazing isn’t it? I can guarantee that the thing about which I am going to talk is not a scam. Infact many of you already know about paid to click websites. Previously, I was mainly talking of how you can use these websites to earn money by clicking, but what about those who do not have time to click, but can still invest money. For them, paid to click websites offer sets of referrals which can be purchased.
I hope you know that the main way of earning in paid to click websites is by referring others who will add to your earnings. However, paid to click websites are offering transfer of un-referred members to your account as your referrals. There are various sets of referrals available in the range of 15, 35, 100, 500, etc. If you are an investor and are willing to invest $500 to buy 500 referrals, this can be your earning example:
However, if you have not already joined the webite, then you must join it first and then only can you purchase the referrals. Please clear your doubts before you purchase the referrals so that you do not waste your money thinking of the offer in some other way. You may ask your questions here by replying to this article.

- 500 referrals click 10 ads a day = 500 x $0.1 = $50 a day
- After 10 days = $50 x 10 = $500 , Isn’t this the same amount of money you invested?
- After 20 days = $50 x 20 = $1000, Haven’t you just doubled your investment?

Paid to click websites - Not filling my pocket
Lately, I have been upto trying a lot of new things. I will write about my experiments, but I have not been able to keep up with paid to click websites for a long time again. So yesterday I go to check my account balance and I see no big gains. Well, my next target is going to be paid to click websites, and I am going to make that big in terms of new sign-ups and earnings. I will tell you about the start and end date and I will tell you my target for the whole thing.
This is another time I’m telling you to join the paid to click websites that you find on the list on the right. I see big potential, because people actually are earning thousands of dollars a month through this. If you have lost faith in these paid to click websites and are not clicking ads, remember clicking ads is what makes the system work. If you stop doing that, sooner or later you’ll earn almost nothing. That is what I learned from my experience. I’ll also write about the biggest problem I faced using these paid to click websites, and how you can get rid of it.

Update of Paid to Click Websites
It has been a while since I last talked about paid to click websites. I am not talking about top earners this time, since it has been a long time, I’ll just give some news of what’s been happening. I have been inactive on paid to click websites for more than 3 weeks, but still my referral earnings kept it up for me. Now that I have gotten back on paid to click websites, I am going to do some serious money-making ideas on it to speed it up.
I am also going to filter the list of paid to click websites again as they are a lot to take care of and if they’re not as good as they should be, just put them aside. As for bux.to I’m thinking of upgrading my account and getting a master card to get my payments a little quicker from them because right now payments to standard members are extremely slow. So if you still have not joined some of the paid to click websites you can find the list in the sidebar and join them.

Update of paid to click websites
This week the earnings at paid to click websites were pretty fast especially for a load of new people signing up. Also, I received a comment on one of my articles for a reader who wanted me to tell more about paid to click websites, well I have already written an introductory article for that and you can read it. Moreover, I have some websites that will be added into the ‘Money-makers’ list the coming week and so you can expect the earnings to rise this month. As for those who are reading an update of paid to click websites for the first time, in this update I give the top five earners of the week that I recommend all to join. Here they are:
Unfortunately, this week Clixsense has dropped of the top five list because of slow earnings, I will be write an article on Clixsense so you can know more about it. The rest of the list has remained the same, although bux.to is giving almost the same number of ads as 07bux, since I have more referrals on it my earnings are multiplied by the number of referrals which makes a lot. I will say one thing again, that join the websites in the top five above only if you will stay active on the website, do not just click ads for one day and then leave the website, if you want to make money then you better commit yourself to it.

Beginner Blogging Mistakes - Promoting For No Reason
Back in 2007 when I started off as a blogger, I was totally off-track. As you might already know that I started off making money on the internet with paid to click websites. Yes, what a waste of time. But since I was quite enthusiastic about making money back then, I wanted to create a blog to promote my referral links.
In paid to click websites, you look for referrals who can come, click ads and make money for you forever. Since posting a whole bunch of links at places to let people know about it was kind of a tedious job, instead I created a blog, filled it with reviews and my referral links and then promoted the blog instead.
My initial aim was to get visitors to it and then have them to sign up for the paid to click website. It wasn’t long until blogger disabled my account with all of the blogs including the one I was using to promote the referral links. However, I was doing that for a reason, I was actually making money by the efforts that I put into getting visitors to the blog.
These days, I see a bunch of fully seo loaded blogs with no ads. The thing is, there is no point in doing SEO on a blog if you don’t have intentions of making money from it. Straight up. Unless you have other aims for the blog.
This thing gets even more emphasis when your main source of traffic is referral traffic. You can always play around with organic traffic because you know that more will be coming later on and you aren’t really losing a lot of money in the long run.
But usually the referral traffic comes and goes. You don’t have a chance of them returning or more of them coming in to your website after you’ve done the promotion. In that case, it is complete nonsense to have no monetisation on your blog which completely makes it promoting for no reason.
The most widely know fact is: Traffic is money. However, you need to learn how to convert that traffic into money else you’ll end up in the blues with no money and probably a loss in form of hosting fees.
My advice to all new bloggers is that: Monetize your blog from day one! There is no harm, I repeat, no harm whatsoever from monetizing a blog. If you think it will discourage visitors, no it wouldn’t. If that was the case, Google wouldn’t have been the number one search engine. There are thousands of other search engines without advertisements.
It will have no impact on your SEO. Why it will have no effect on your SEO is because Google will always be in benefit if you have adsense on your blog. Since, when Google sends traffic to your website, it clicks the adsense ad. Not only do you get paid but Google gets paid as well. I know this theory sounds totally absurd but it was just to diversify your minds from not monetizing a new website. So yeah, you can laugh!

Bux.to, the story of a Scam
I finally decided to write about the really of Bux.to. I started off with using bux.to around 3 years ago. If you remember well, this is how I got started into making money online. Blogging wasn’t until late 2007 and before that I was heavily occupied with paid to click websites.
To be frank, at that time bux.to seemed to be the best paid to click website to me. In fact, stats prove that it is the most popular paid to click websites as compared to popular paid to click websites of that time. It has risen to below 2000 in the alexa top websites.
So, where did Bux.to go wrong? Quite simple…
) and see how the paid to click websites started up. I remember the first paid to click website to be adbux and many other small paid to click websites followed up soon.
How these websites operated was over a simple concept:
Pretty basic huh? If this goes on a small scale, it’s all cool. But when you have big ambitions and want to make a lot of money, you have a little problem.
I’m sure that there aren’t a lot of wise webmasters or bloggers out there who would want to be spending 3 cents for a visitor who would visit the website for just 30 seconds. The purchasing power of the visitor can be seen from the fact that he is clicking ads for a cent each. (No offense, I was one of them a few years ago)
So, basically this makes the traffic pretty useless and probably the only reason why a big number of webmasters wouldn’t want to be advertising on such a website. Moreover, even if there are a lot of advertisers, their advertisement budget would not be enough to cater such a large user base as it was in bux.to’s case.
Instead of charging $3000 to a person who wants to buy a 100K visitors package, they’ll give him a discount just to get some cash into the system. Then they’ll use that money to pay off a user who requested payout 3 months ago telling him that this delay was due to ‘manual check’ before payout.
One reason why this was working out was because most of the users never made it to the minimum payout OR never protested if they never got paid and left the program.
Long story, short. Soon, as more users joined they needed more inflow of cash. So, they started selling those referral packages and the premium memberships to have some cash rolling in and as of now, that’s what they’re depending on.
Apparently, they’re only paying premium members. That too only after a wait of several months or years. The system reached a stop a long time ago, I (along with some other users) just didn’t realize that in time.
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, the bux.to mechanism flunked right before your eyes. i hate to say it, but yes I pronounce it a SCAM.
If you still want to check on paid to click websites, I’d recommend checking out clixsense. I also have an article on making money on the internet for beginners.
To be frank, at that time bux.to seemed to be the best paid to click website to me. In fact, stats prove that it is the most popular paid to click websites as compared to popular paid to click websites of that time. It has risen to below 2000 in the alexa top websites.
So, where did Bux.to go wrong? Quite simple…
Traditional paid to click concept
Let’s go old school (thought it’s just been 3 years, ) and see how the paid to click websites started up. I remember the first paid to click website to be adbux and many other small paid to click websites followed up soon.How these websites operated was over a simple concept:
- Advertisers pay the PTC website for visitors to their website.
- Users sign-up to the PTC website and get paid for clicking ads.
- The PTC website takes a part of the cost per visitor paid by the advertiser, and gives the rest to the users.
Pretty basic huh? If this goes on a small scale, it’s all cool. But when you have big ambitions and want to make a lot of money, you have a little problem.
I’m sure that there aren’t a lot of wise webmasters or bloggers out there who would want to be spending 3 cents for a visitor who would visit the website for just 30 seconds. The purchasing power of the visitor can be seen from the fact that he is clicking ads for a cent each.

Moreover, even if there are a lot of advertisers, their advertisement budget would not be enough to cater such a large user base as it was in bux.to’s case.
The Dirty Game
Then bux.to played a pretty dirty game. What they did was simple, they started putting up advertisements without actually receiving the money according to the mechanism. For example:Instead of charging $3000 to a person who wants to buy a 100K visitors package, they’ll give him a discount just to get some cash into the system. Then they’ll use that money to pay off a user who requested payout 3 months ago telling him that this delay was due to ‘manual check’ before payout.
One reason why this was working out was because most of the users never made it to the minimum payout OR never protested if they never got paid and left the program.
Long story, short. Soon, as more users joined they needed more inflow of cash. So, they started selling those referral packages and the premium memberships to have some cash rolling in and as of now, that’s what they’re depending on.
Apparently, they’re only paying premium members. That too only after a wait of several months or years. The system reached a stop a long time ago, I (along with some other users) just didn’t realize that in time.
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, the bux.to mechanism flunked right before your eyes. i hate to say it, but yes I pronounce it a SCAM.
If you still want to check on paid to click websites, I’d recommend checking out clixsense. I also have an article on making money on the internet for beginners.

Bux.to, the story of a Scam
I finally decided to write about the really of Bux.to. I started off with using bux.to around 3 years ago. If you remember well, this is how I got started into making money online. Blogging wasn’t until late 2007 and before that I was heavily occupied with paid to click websites.
To be frank, at that time bux.to seemed to be the best paid to click website to me. In fact, stats prove that it is the most popular paid to click websites as compared to popular paid to click websites of that time. It has risen to below 2000 in the alexa top websites.
So, where did Bux.to go wrong? Quite simple…
) and see how the paid to click websites started up. I remember the first paid to click website to be adbux and many other small paid to click websites followed up soon.
How these websites operated was over a simple concept:
Pretty basic huh? If this goes on a small scale, it’s all cool. But when you have big ambitions and want to make a lot of money, you have a little problem.
I’m sure that there aren’t a lot of wise webmasters or bloggers out there who would want to be spending 3 cents for a visitor who would visit the website for just 30 seconds. The purchasing power of the visitor can be seen from the fact that he is clicking ads for a cent each. (No offense, I was one of them a few years ago)
So, basically this makes the traffic pretty useless and probably the only reason why a big number of webmasters wouldn’t want to be advertising on such a website. Moreover, even if there are a lot of advertisers, their advertisement budget would not be enough to cater such a large user base as it was in bux.to’s case.
Instead of charging $3000 to a person who wants to buy a 100K visitors package, they’ll give him a discount just to get some cash into the system. Then they’ll use that money to pay off a user who requested payout 3 months ago telling him that this delay was due to ‘manual check’ before payout.

Traditional paid to click concept
Let’s go old school (thought it’s just been 3 years, ) and see how the paid to click websites started up. I remember the first paid to click website to be adbux and many other small paid to click websites followed up soon.How these websites operated was over a simple concept:
- Advertisers pay the PTC website for visitors to their website.
- Users sign-up to the PTC website and get paid for clicking ads.
- The PTC website takes a part of the cost per visitor paid by the advertiser, and gives the rest to the users.
Pretty basic huh? If this goes on a small scale, it’s all cool. But when you have big ambitions and want to make a lot of money, you have a little problem.
I’m sure that there aren’t a lot of wise webmasters or bloggers out there who would want to be spending 3 cents for a visitor who would visit the website for just 30 seconds. The purchasing power of the visitor can be seen from the fact that he is clicking ads for a cent each.

The Dirty Game
Then bux.to played a pretty dirty game. What they did was simple, they started putting up advertisements without actually receiving the money according to the mechanism. For example:Instead of charging $3000 to a person who wants to buy a 100K visitors package, they’ll give him a discount just to get some cash into the system. Then they’ll use that money to pay off a user who requested payout 3 months ago telling him that this delay was due to ‘manual check’ before payout.
