I decided to do an Adbux Autoline experiment. This will be an honest review or report on whether the Adbux Autoline is worth the money.
According to Adbux an autoline subscription will give you an estimated 12-25 referrals per 30 day subscription period. They also promise only active referrals in which you gain any missed clicks. The cost per subscription is $10.
Well it as been real hard for me to get referrals for Adbux being that there are 500,000 plus members. Finding people whom have not joined is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I only had one referral when I decided to buy 2 autoline packs.
I purchased my 2 autoline Packs on my birthday Nov. 12. I have 2 referrals of my own to begin with. The first referral I seen in my autoline did an offer and I have earned $.21 from that.
I will comment that I expected a double subscrption for 1 30 day period but I wound up with 2 consecutive Adbux subscriptions
Here is what my Adbux account looks like today Nov.19, 2007 I did start with just under $.50 and 2 referrals

So far looking better than expected. See ya next week

So basically I earned 56 referrals and almost half my money back, which is pretty great.
Here is the ugly
Adbux has been down sense the day my autoline expired. First a server problem, and now paypal issues, if that is not bad enough they do not have autoline available anymore.
I have to say in the long run this going to be a terrible loss, because Adbux has been down so long that new earners will loose interest, plus the blow of a possible new payment processor or worse yet there is speculation of them disappearing. Quite frankly I do not think that will happen. They are one of the largest PPC's and are profitable. I will post an update when they come back.
We used Honey Advertizer Pro as an example.
Understanding- the goal and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with paid email programs.
-E-mails range from .5 cents to 2 Cents 20 seconds approximately 5 a day (usually more)
-6 Refferal Levels. 3%, 2%,1%,1%,1%,1%
To start with we are going to figure that each day is 2.5 cents earnings per person (.5 cents at 5 a day) This is a low figure
For the matrix example I am going to give you I am going to use 3 simply because 3 sounds obtainable, and is not an overwhelming number.
You 2.5 cents a day
level 1 3 referrals @ 2.5 Cents a Day = 7.5 cents 7.5 * .03(3%) = your commission .225
level 2 9 referrals @ 2.5 Cents a Day= 27.0 cents 27.0 * .02(2%) = your commission .54
level 3 27 referrals @ 2.5 Cents a day= 67.5 cents 67.5 * .01(1%) = your commission .675
level 4 81 referrals @2.5 Cents a Day= 202.5 cents 202.5 * .01(1%) = your commission 2.025
level 5 243 referrals @2.5 Cents a Day= 607.5 cents 607.5 * .01(1%) = your commission 6.075
level 6 729 referrals @2.5 Cents a Day=1822.5 cents 1822.5 * .01(1%) = your commission 18.225
Totals $27.74 per day total
Looking at these figures might boggle your mind at first, you may think ,"How am I going to get 729 people to join my program?
Well the thing is, you only need to refer 3. The Secret is you must follow through and tell them how to get referrals, and give them the goal of three, and tell them where you have been successful getting referrals so they can do the same, and tell them to coach your downline as you are, show them the matrix so they understand the ultimate goal. I will be honest matrixes are not perfect, you may go through several referrals until you find the right 3. And remember 3 is not a magic number it is just your first goal get three, then get 3 more.
Allot of people loose interest because they keep clicking and referring people and not seeing a big difference in earnings, that's because the first few levels do not pay as much.
I just used Honey advertiser Pro as a example but there are a couple other at marketing pond that pay on the same types of levels. No Minimum & Donkey Mails.
I will be honest I am not the greatest at referrals but I will tell you a few ways I get them.
Create a blog, blog about the programs individually (like this one) try not to sound like all hype and add personality into the post ( honesty).
Add a signature line to all off your emails, and any forums you belong, too. Yuwie, Myspace, etc.
I also exchange points and such at other paid email sites for advertising.
My recent most favorite place to get referrals is getref.
Getref is complicated at first, but I have been very successful with it.
The idea behind getref is kind of an exchange. You join a program and get 1 point, You get a referral at the minimum of 2 points (meaning you have to join 2 programs to get 1 referral). Be sure you give programs you sign up for a fair chance, and read the requirements, some say a minimum of 10 clicks etc. The thing is when you are new you have to develop a reputation so a bidding of just 2 will put you at the bottom of the list of people wanting referrals. So If you want immediate results I would suggest bidding higher. You also get 2 points for every referral that joins a program and 10% of their points 5 levels deep. I have liked this program so much that I have bought credits and gold status. I do not recommend any updates until you are familiar with the program. Another benefit is that you can private message a referral and give helpful hints on how to be successful in the program.
I hope this information is helpful to you, and if you need any other personal assistance feel free to email me Paidbyemail@gmail.com
*****Hits 4 Pay
2 cents per email, very easy to click them in the internal mailbox average of between 5 & 10 e-mails a day. $10 sign on bonus $25 cash out. Average of between 5 and 22 emails a day. 1 cents per email on 2 levels of referrals . See our full Hits4pay review
*****Deals n Cash
$5 sign up bonus. Earn up to 5 cents per email. Earn 2 cents per email those you sponsor read. This site is almost a twin of hits 4 pay. I love them both.
***Honey Advertiser Pro
I like this one quite a bit emails pay .5 cents to 2 cents. Many pay per click areas on the website.6 referral levels of commission : Level 1 - 3% Level 4 - 1% Level 2 - 2% Level 5 - 1% Level 3 - 1% Level 6 - 1% Payout options are PayPal, AlertPay, E-Gold. The downfalls of this site are Payout is at $20, you can only request payment once in a month. Others have complained about touring numbers and pages load times but Honestly this is on of my favorites.
****Donkey Mails
One of the largest paid to read email programs online. Loads of ways to earn free money! 5 Referral levels of commission. Level 1 - 5%. Level 2 - 4%. Level 3 - 3%. Level 4 - 2%. Level 5 - 1%. Weekly payouts!
****No-Minumum
6 referral levels 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 1%. Pay Per Click, Paid to Sign up, and Paid to read e-mail Opportunities. Minimum payout for paypal is $1 and eGold .02 of a cent.
***AdPaid
$3 minimum payout (Paypal). Paid to click, paid to join opportunities. Earn 10% of referrals cheap upgrades available.
***Nocturnal Email
Sign-Up Bonus $0.03. Referral Level 1 - 10%. $1 Paypal & Alert Payment Payouts. There is also quite a few banner clicks available on top of your e-mails
*Myster e mail
This one pays randomly a couple of times a week, no minimum. Mail values range from .00015 (this is NOT 15 cents!!) to .01 (1 cent). This program sends out about 100-150 emails a day . I found out the hard way, to set your account to sitebox only. There are people who rave about this program but personally it is one of my least favorites- It might be that I do not have a clicking system down packed for this one. They do pay a couple times a week even if it is only a penny. There are allot of banner clicking oppurtunies conviently located at the tap of your emails, and many of the banners pay more than the email itself. 1 Ref levels of commission under you. *Level 1 - 25%.
***Adsensitive
Minimum Payout $3. 5 cent sign up bonus. 5 cent for referrals plus 20% commission on referrals activity. Payout Options : e-Gold and PayPal.
****Fishing 4 Mails
Cash out every 30 days no minimum! 1 referral level 50%. PayPal and E-Gold.
****Inbox dollars & Send Earnings I put these 2 together because they are run by the same company. Although these 2 sites are primarily offer sites, they can be profitable just working the emails. They send out 3 cent emails, which is good pay. They have $5 referral bonuses- the glitch is the referral must stay active in order to receive the bonus. So just keep clicking the emails and tell your referrals to do the same.
Also see our List of pay per click programs that pay
Okay, Let me tell you a few secrets of pay per click programs. Realize that yes we are dealing in pennies. You will not make a fortune just clicking these ads yourself. You have to refer people and refer people that are willing to click on the ads and refer more people.
Lets face everything on the Internet is MLM, the only thing that is great about the pay per click programs is that you have to buy absolutely nothing in order to get started. None of these programs will get you rich but they could earn $20-$50 a month each program joined ( or if you are a great promoter more).
Adbux and Bux.to are extremely popular right now But I am not that excited about either of them. Both require expensive upgrades in order to get more ads to click, with out the upgrades you get 5 or 6 ads a day, and that is all your referrals will get unless they upgrade. I am sticking with these awhile until I figure out what all the fuss is about, but I would not recommend them
With this in mind my favorite Pay Per Click Program is No Minimum the reason is that it pays you on six levels. This is where it is extremely important to tell people you refer how to get more referrals or help find a few for them so they stay interested in program. These percentages can be outstanding if all your referrals are getting referrals.
Another thing to do to maximize your earnings with your paid to click programs is to stop at each site 3 times a day morning, noon, and night. Advertisements rotate buy say 5000 clicks and once those clicks are served then the ad is gone, so it is good to check several times a day.
Below is a list of pay per click programs that actually pay.
****No-Minimum
6 referral levels 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 1%. Pay Per Click, Paid to Sign up, and Paid to read e-mail Opportunities. Minimum payout for paypal is $1 and eGold .02 of a cent.
****Clixsense
Click on ads in the member area. usually only 4 or 5 a day available. There are supposedly allot more available to click with a $10 a year upgrade. You earn 10% of the revenues collected from your referrals and 50% commission on any member you refer who upgrades their account to premium status. Hint: I would not pay to click on ads unless I could see an immediate result another words
***Clix-Hits-
Earn $0.005 per link clicked. Earn $0.0025 for each website your referrals view. Real time reports of your earnings. Payment requests can be made every day and are processed through PayPal. The minimum payout is $10.00. This site is similar to Adbux and Bux.to. This one is new from the very reputable makers of Clixsense. Although they have noted problems getting ads because of low amounts of actual buying from clickers. I am expecting big things from this site, and it is an excellent program to promote as it is on the ground floor and the market is not saturated.
***Clixmedia
1 Level 50% referral. $5.99 payout
Bux.to
$3.00 sign on bonus 1 cent per 30 sec ad and & 1 cent for ever ad your referral clicks on. They say there are 10 ads a day but I have been hitting like 6. There are upgrades available where you will have more ads to click but they are pricey. I would stick with free clicks until you build your referrals and then see if it is cost effective
Adbux
I am not at all excited about this one. Without costly upgrades, this one does not pay as much as the hype behind it. All of the figures they show you is based on a $59 a year upgrade and all of your referrals having the same $59 upgrade. It still pays but realistically free members get about 4-6 clicks a day ranging from .0015 to 2 cents.
****Wordlinx
Low $10 Cash out. Earn 1 cent Per Click. Earn 1% Per Referral. Earn 5% Per Sale. Special Level Bonuses
*****Link Grand
Get paid to click on links. Low $5 payouts. Earn 30% of your referrals earnings. Earn 10% on your referrals advertising purchases.

Hits 4 Pay is one of my favorite money makers. The internal mailbox is so streamlined I go from one message to the other with ease. The messages are usually on a 20 second timer.
Receive $10 just for signing up. E-mails earn 2 cents each. You receive 1 cent for each of the e-mails your referrals click 2 levels deep.
Here is how this breaks down
you 2 cents each average of 10 emails a day =20 cents a day =$1.40 week
1 referral 1 cent average of 10 emails a day= 10 cents a day= $2.10 week
2 referrals 1 cent average of 10 emails a day= 10cents a day= $2.80 week
3 referrals 1 cent average of 10 emails a day= 10 cents a day= $3.60 week
4 referrals 1 cent average of 10 emails a day= 10 cents a day=$4.30 week
5 referrals 1 cent average of 10 emails a day=10 cents a day= $5.00 week
Note I used 10 emails as an average, I have received between 6 & 44 a day
Remember you get $10 just for signing up for Hits 4 Pay
And if you teach those referrals how to get referrals then you can earn a penny a day off them also.
I know some of you are thinking. Well I can not make a living on $5.00 a week. Just Remember this is just one of many programs that can wind up paying you on a regular basis for 3 minutes of your time a day.
Payout is at $25 buy the 1st every month and checks mailed on the 15Th.
If you Are like me, you have fell into one after another bait and switch, get rich scheme. They claim to be free, then you find out you have got to pay something to get total knowledge. Then there are the 10 cents if you are lucky to click an e-mail (that you have got to stare at for 60 seconds), and paid surveys that give you a dollar in rewards after 20 minutes of time. If you were to add up the pay, it would be like 60 cents an hour.
So you start thinking there is no way for me to work on the Internet and actually make a living. I will tell you after much trial and error, I have figured out the key to it all. I still have much to learn but, I have figured out a few things along the way.
Referrals- You must refer people. I would sell my soul before I sold a spammy $300 get rich scheme. So I personally like to refer to free programs. Yes some of these are the cheap offers, and paid email websites. So now you are thinking, I do not talk to that many people on the Internet, and I do not have that many friends, How do I get referrals?
The answer is to write, write, write. Create a blog, or website, there are many resources for free websites. Post comments on other blogs referring back to your website. Make sure you read the blog and make an intelligent response. Do not say something like nice blog, now check mine out. In this day and age most surfers belong to a forum or community where you can add a link in your signature line. Remember do not spam, it irritates the hell out of people, but feel free to join in a natural conversation on any subject with your signature line intact. I will elaborate on the referral topic again in this blog as it is detrimental to making money online. If you think you cant write just sit down and try it one day. You may surprise your self. Just be natural and do not sound like a blatant advertisement.
Make sure to stay active in the programs you wish to promote. Some will drop you due to inactivity and it sets a good example for your referrals.
Okay, now the final step is to tell your referrals how to succeed and get referrals for themselves. Remember their success is your success ( in essence they are working for you).
I am currently reviewing several ( actually 40 or more) websites to measure their effectiveness. I think this is a good place to state that most of these sites record IP addresses and you will get caught if you try to sign up under yourself with a different email address. Also note that many offer sites have the same offers and most times you cannot get paid for the same offer on both sites, usually one of them will get denied.
I have a few I would highly recommend right now
Marketing pond
Highly recommended tool to market several programs at once, completely free with an insightful forum.
Cashcrate
A good paid offer site
Treasure Trooper
Mainly an offer site. This site also has daily surveys for pays, and some great tips on how to get referrals.
Here is a quick overview. In reality I think this is the only way to make money online
1. Sign up
2. Do some of the offers regularly hint: develop a system to get through a certain amount of them quickly.
3. Write about the programs and how easy it is to make money. Get referrals.
4. Tell the referrals how to find referrals for themselves.
5. Make sure to follow through with the above 4 steps
