I have today become aware that ClickSalary is providing a daily click contest and a referral contest.

The daily click contest features over 200 prizes per day.  While there are lots of prizes to be won, the very top prize each day is for $0.50.  Since many of the links are for 0.02 cents and points, I will likely not participate.  I may take a stab at winning a prize one or two days, but I will not be striving for it on a daily basis.

The referral contest runs until the site gets 10,000 referrals.  It has about 7,000 right now and is growing at a fair pace, so 10,000 may not be all that far off.  It pays out 15 prizes of which are very nice including a top prize of $150.  What is even more interesting is that when I checked, I’m already in the top 15 and in fact I’m only a relatively small number of referrals away from a substantial prize.

I’m setting a goal to finish #1 in this contest.  Because the prize is substantial ($150), I may even spend a few advertising dollars trying to achieve it.  I think it’s a fairly realistic goal and I believe that even if I cannot achieve the #1 spot, I can probably realisticly win one of the top 5 slots.  I’ll keep my progress and that in mind as I’m deciding exactly how much I’m willing to spend to get to the top spot.

I would hope that you would consider joining ClickSalary, not only because it will help me to win the top spot but more importantly because it’s a great program to join.  This is not a big money earner, but what sets it apart from many other programs is that you get paid each and every week no matter how much or how little you earn.  If you have only $0.01 in earnings, you’ll receive a payment for $0.01.  And don’t worry if you have a PayPal premium account where fees are deducted when you receive payments.  ClickSalary sends their payments by PayPal Mass Pay which means they cover all of the fees for the payment and you get the entire amount paid to you.

That said, my personal strategy with ClickSalary is to click the 0.10, 0.25 and 0.50 cent mails I get via e-mail.  It’s a relatively low volume and I usually ignore or delete the few 0.02 and point e-mails I get daily.  This is enough to achieve a $0.05 to $0.10 payment each week.  If you are interested in more, they feature about 200 or so ads that you can click on the site daily, however many of these are very low paying and some are point ads.  I have found the best balance to pay attention to the 0.10 cent and above e-mails and ads and just ignore the rest.  This generates a steady payment to me each and every week via PayPal.

 A couple of days ago, I noted that I was contacting the support desk at 3 Bears PTR to determine if there was a way to stop the high volume of point mails that I was receiving.  I was in error in the details.  It is not a high volume of point mails.  In fact, 3 Bears PTR does not use points at all, they are cash only sites.  The issue is the high volume of 0.02 cent e-mails.  That’s not 2 cent e-mails but 2/100 of a cent e-mails.

I receive a reply pointing out as much to me.  I believe however they completely missed the point of my inquiry.  Rather than addressing my concern of which is that I receive hundreds of e-mails daily from their programs for extremely low value (definitely not going to click that many links for that low of a rate per click), they decided to concentrate on the fact that I erroneously referred to them as point e-mails.

While I’m not pleased with their answer, I feel it is imperative that I correct my error for the benefit of those reading this blog.  I strive to be accurate in all that I share here and it is important to me that on the rare occassion when I miss and say something wrong that I stand up and acknowledge such and correct that error.

The results for January are in from Yuwie.  I am still a long ways off from getting paid (requires $25 in earnings before payment is sent), but I’m working it, slowly but surely.  Here are my results for January:

I joined the 3 Bears PTR Sites because they are get paid to e-mail sites that are relatively simple to do.  Rather than having to go to each different site each day and login and click links, you just check your e-mail.  I have since however discovered that these particular sites send extremely large volumes of point e-mails.  If I don’t check my e-mail for a few days, I come back to hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of e-mails in my inbox with the majority of them being from the 4 sites operated by that group.

I have sent a request to their support desk asking if there was a way to opt into cash only e-mails and not receive all of the point e-mails.  If there is not a way to do this, I will likely discontinue these sites from my click program because of the sheer volume of point based and extremely micro (less than 1/10th of one cent) cash e-mails.  I will report back here once I get an answer from their support desk.

Today brings two items of good news.  The first is that DaddyBux is back online.  I was beginning to get concerned with the amount of time the site had been down.  This again supports my suggestions in AdBux Down and Daily Clicks Problems where I suggested that users should not panic.  Get Paid To sites will go down.  Some will never come back.  But some do.  And when users panic and rush to dispute charges in PayPal and other payment processors, they only hinder the attempts of those sites that are trying to come back up.  I’m not suggesting that users should not try to recover their funds when possible, but you typically have 60 days to launch a dispute.  Give a site at least a few weeks to determine what is going on before rushing to conclusions and disputing payments to that site.

Daily Clicks is down also.  The notice on their site says they are looking for another host because their host shut down their account because some users were spamming their referral links.  There’s good news in this recent event.  As I suggested in the article mentioned above, for the Get Paid To sites themselves, communication with end users about problems is necessary.  Daily Clicks appears to have done a good job with it this go round.  Here’s a copy of the notice appearing on their site:
