Its over!

I feel like this cat, sad and grumpy! I'm sad its over. I'm grumpy because I thought my badge was very easy to get and I was expecting more people to grab it!  Next to the kitty is my badge that I paid for to be a part of Spooktacular. I'm tired from the surfing over the last 10 days. I managed to collect 151 badges myself. My housework has been neglected. It is exciting though to wake up in the morning to see which people have joined my list or program I advertised.

I may have to work on my branding. I am still an "unknown" in this industry. Any help would be gratefully accepted. How could I have done this better? I even advertised with a fixed ad on Nerdbux.  Of coarse with good results and getting over 30 thousand hits. Also, a little satisfied with my efforts. I have a Nerdgrid ad and got 33 referrals for Click Track Profit during this time. 

My website I was promoting is HERE! I made it through EasyHits4U free splash page. I really should upgrade at AdKreator so it looks a little more professional! It was more an informative page and I wanted people to be able to see all the instructions on one page.

Overall, here are my stats: (some people joined more than just my elist!)

People who collected my badge: 52
Signups to my Newsletter/list : 49
Other programs signup: 9
Upgraded: 1 lifetime (this alone paid for my spooktacular badge)

If anything this has been a good branding experience for me. Would I buy another badge next time! Definitely YES!

Remember E-Gold?

I used to be a member of Egold  when I started earning money online about 10-15 years ago. Back then, some sites would send you earnings (no matter how small) to your Egold account weekly. Your earnings would fluctuate depending on the price of gold. Does this sound like Bitcoin slightly? Except Bitcoins dont really exist. Egold was meant to backed up with gold in a real vault somewhere.

Anyway Egold got shut down. You can get the full story HERE from Wiki. I recently got an email saying I can recover my money and make a claim to have it recovered. The word "SCAM" did enter my mind but I still have my log in details and so logged in to Egold to see how much is owing to me. A nice sum is sitting there waiting. To all those in the same position as me, be prepared for a "process" of proving your identity. Uploading ID, proving where you live etc. I had a problem with my ID (I simply entered it wrong) because it was knocked back so I questioned them via email. They did reply promptly. After this, and I almost missed it, you log in to another website, and re-provide your details including address, tax and banking details. Now all I have to do is wait for a cheque because the amount is under $1000. It may take a couple of months but its my money and I earnt it.

Its now the 5th of February 2014 and guess what I got a US check in the mail from e-gold! I'm still in shock it actually arrived. Well I hope it doesn't bounce. I will keep you all informed.

Its Raining referrals

This is no joke. It is raining referrals for me. I've recently been listening to the Spreecasts of Jon Olson and he highly recommends this site to advertise in. The program which I am talking about is called Nerdbux:




Has anyone tried to get Sweeva referrals? I resorted to advertising CTP and Sweeva in tandem at TEs everywhere for these. I needed 5 referrals for the Sweeva Mastery Badge at CTP. This was my motivation to advertise. I bought tonnes of credits everywhere for NIL results. I had to try something else. 

Ok, here are my stats. First, before anything else you have to load money into Nerdbux to use.

At first I advertised in the NerdGrid for $5 a month and got this many hits for the month: 7720. I currently have two other ads there as well with similar stats. So if you want lots of views with a few referrals then this sort of advertising is for you.

However, I then heard Jon talking about the PTC section. So I tried it. This is the section that people click on to get money. Not random rewards, if any, like the NerdGrid. People WILL click on your ad to get money. PTC ads run on how many views you want. For example, 1000 credits means you will get 1000 views. This advertising starts at only $2.40 for 1000 views. You can also target the audience based on country for no extra. It also slows the delivery of ads down a bit which is good. 

The fixed PTC are based on how many days you want your ad to show. They also show a thumb nail of your advertisement. 

OK back to my stats for the PTC section. After purchase you can then load your ad and verify it. Then ALLOCATE how many credits you want to use. They will go down fast if no geographical targeting enabled. 3337 / 28 The first number being the number of views so far and the second number being freebies when people are not logged in. I used a Trck.me and got heaps of conversions (clicks) on my ads. 0.62% conversion rate. This is great when compared with TEs. I advertised the various splashes for CTP as a rotator and this is the average rate.

For the finale:.....12 CTP referrals today alone. 28 referrals for various programs over 3 days BUT I wasn't loading my credits fast enough so there were times they weren't showing. I got my Sweeva referrals finally. Not to mention some are active and using the programs they joined. 

It's exciting waking up and wondering how many referrals I got during the night. I can't recommend Nerdbux enough to advertise in.

Until next time
