Review of Services That Pay You For Your Time – and a new kid on the block

numbers money calculating calculationGetting paid for the time I spend online has been a wish of mine for several years now. It is FINALLy a reality! Let me count the ways:

1) InfinityTrafficBoost: This is a traffic exchange that lets you have one website URL, several banner ads and several text ads as a free member. For every 4 sites you surf, you earn a full credit for someone else to see your site. You also earn a surfer reward pool share for every 10 sites you surf. This share gets used to calculate your earnings at midnight every day.

2) InfinityMailerBoost: This is a safelist mailer with a difference. Credits you earn are calculated so that half the credits you have, are used to send to the number of members you wish to send to. A full credit is earned for every four emails you open and click through. You earn a mailer pool share for every 10 emails you open and click through. If you want your email to show up in the site’s “read messages” area and not merely in people’s inboxes, you need to send above a certain amount. This amount changes occasionally with site activity.

This means I can do free credit-based marketing AND get paid for it! Cool!

CryptoTab Browser3) CryptoBrowser: My 12yr old computer can finally start earning it’s keep while I surf online regardless if I’m fixing a remote computer or dong social media or reading the news or checking on balances. My 12yr old system doesn’t earn me much, but it’s something it’s elderly cycles can now contribute.

4) Webtalk: My time spent on social media will finally pay me for the data I volunteer by using the site. This is supposed to happen over at FuturePro where I used to be a member, but the social media portion of their online web presence needs so much work I could no longer promote the social media side of the business. When my account was hacked, there was no easy way to change my password or security settings either, and I don’t think I received any assistance from the attempt at contacting technical support. Needless to say, I am no longer promoting them as a way to be paid for your time on social networks. I want my recommendations to be useful, reachable, and safe. I am able to say that with Webtalk, so I am trying to move my contacts over there.

I’ve been part of webtalk for roughly a month now. I’ve been using the CryptoBrowser since late August, but wiped out my earnings due to forgetting to log in. Don’t forget to log in to save your earnings! I’ve been a member of InfinityMailerBoost since May and am looking forward to being paid for the first time soon. Hopefully before Christmas. I’ve been a member of InfinityTrafficBoost since a year ago August and could have been paid 3 times, but so far have been paid twice instead, as I’d been allowing the system to purchase ad packs on my behalf to begin with.

My earnings don’t just sit around doing nothing either. I send BTC earnings over to Freebitco so that they will earn me daily compounded interest. They pay 4.08% annual interest. You don’t have to be a gambler to use the deposit feature. If that’s the only aspect of the site you use, that’s fine. I am not a gambler either. If you play the faucet on the main page, you do earn reward points that you can cash in on various bonuses, or even gear if you accumulate enough.

I now try to time various tasks on the computer so that I have an earnings page open on one screen with unpaid activities occurring on another screen. This way, my time spent online is renumerated in some fashion.

Free 1000 Advertising Credits Plus $2.5 in Cash Bonuses.A new traffic exchange has entered the ad credit/pay you for surfing, space. This site will pay you via BTC, Payoneer, or SolidPay, so you are shown your earnings in dollar value, not BTC. It appears they stole some of their ideas from InfinityTrafficBoost, but are unique enough that the co-founder of ITB is endorsing it himself! This site is called AdFeedz!

Similar to ITB, you earn one point for every 10 sites you surf. Those points are used to calculate your share of the surfing pool which is paid out at midnight. Whereever this site’s server is, midnight for them is 4pm for me. Midnight for ITB is 9pm for me. Unlike ITB, Adfeedz gives you a 5-to-1 surfing ratio so that your site gets seen for every 5 credits you earn while surfing. You earn a full credit for every site you surf. Also unlike ITB, you can have any number of website URL’s, banners, and text ads as a free member. They offer a site rotator, but as a free member you are only allowed to create one rotator. Premium members can create more. Currently, they have a new sign-up bonus of up to $2.50 that you claim by walking through their guided tour. I am stuck on their stop on tour where they teach about earning from team groups. But to claim that portion of the bonus, I have to purchase an ad contract first. Otherwise, I earned $1.10 going through their guided tour to that point. I have since earned another $0.087 cents surfing roughly 116 pages. Just like ITB, the amount you earn per point varies depending on member interaction with the site.

I am so glad, and relieved that I am finally locating services that let me get paid for the time I spend doing various things online. I hope this list is helpful for you too, knowing that you don’t have to be wasting valuable time getting stuff done online when you can now be paid for it instead.

Income for Nothing: The Myth vs Reality

When it comes to sources of income that you don’t have to lift a finger for, 99.9% of them don’t work. None of the remaining sources provide a livable wage when engaged in alone, and extremely few actually follow through on their effortless promise.

Among those extreme few are the following three BTC earning methods:

If you have no BTC and want to earn it slowly but surely with no effort on your part, begin with either or both of these first two:

QoinPro: 
QoinPro will let you earn a tiny amount of BTC as well as a number of other digital coin, every day with no effort on your part. They went down for a few months due to a drastic redesign and a new app they were building for your phone. But they are back up now and those of us with prior accounts still have them, and our referral links still work. :-D

CryptoTabBrowser: 
Using this browser, you can surf faster than Chrome itself, while making your PC or laptop earn its keep. On my 12yr old Windows PC, this particular browser actually works better than either Firefox or Opera and those two already work better than Chrome on my system.

Earnings since installing in August:CryptoTabBrowser Earnings

NOTE: These earnings were wiped out after an extended period of time where I was not logged in with my gmail acct due to recaptcha issues needing me to delete cookies all the time. When I installed the new mobile browser for CTB and then logged in, my earnings disappeared so I am starting over. We’ll see if a support ticket brings back the above earnings or not. Just like syncing your phone with Outlook, there is a right and wrong way to do it without wiping out your contacts. In my case, I think I wiped out prior earnings.

Freebitco.in: 
If you already have a bit of BTC in a wallet gathering dust somewhere, and it totals at least 30,000 satoshi or more, transfer it to your very own wallet at Freebitco.in and earn daily interest on your BTC savings! I’m at roughly 50,000 satoshi at the time of this writing, and earning roughly 60 satoshi in interest per day without doing anything to earn it.

Interest earned since April 2017:Freebitco.in Interest Earnings

QoinPro and CryptoTabBrowser are both good introductions to the concepts of digital coin and mining. QoinPro’s revamp included adding a full-fledged wallet, so that you can send as well as receive coin to any of the digital coins activated on your account. This feature is on their current roadmap, thought not yet implemented. Previously, you could only send to that wallet, now you will be able to send from it as well. This is good, because this wallet, like most of the others out there, does not earn you interest while you save. That is what Freebitco.in’s wallet is for. As you can see in the interest screenshot above, the daily satoshi earned is small on my 50,000+ satoshi amount, but it is almost three times the amount earned if I just use the free tab of the same site. So it’s as if I get three free rolls without having clicked the “roll” button. I like the idea of daily interest, so this is where I keep my BTC when I am not using it.

Earnings at each of these site are small, but paid to the user regardless. If you want these sites to pay you a more livable amount, you actually DO need to DO something! It’s called marketing and promotion! Due to how many people out there seem to only want money rolling in without putting in any effort, theoretically, your marketing and promotion efforts should net you quite a good following. The larger the following, the better so that your rewards for bringing in new affiliate members starts to grow. Do note that because everyone wants something for nothing, it will largely be YOU doing all the work, but conversely, it will be YOU that benefits more than the others precisely because you did all the work.

In other words, while you CAN get something for nothing, it is a very small something. None of these sites expect you to pay to earn from their services. So no worries about spending money you might not have. But in exchange for not spending any money, you may wish to consider spending time and effort instead.

Finding locations where your message about these sites will be heard, means a level of observation that you might not be used to if this is your first time delving into marketing and promotion. Facebook used to be the go-to place for advertising, but now that free efforts there get squashed under paid efforts rather badly, I can no longer recommend it. We’re putting out effort here, not money remember. You may still get eyeballs on your offers in various affiliate, networking, and online business groups on Facebook, but be warned, posting the same thing too often can land you in FB jail for a time until they let you start posting again.

Other online locations where you can spread the word include Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. However, social networking doesn’t work for everyone. In those cases, it is time to head over to safelists/viral mailers or traffic exchanges. I recently wrote a blog article about yet another experience doing a mass send out from over a dozen mailers vs ongoing efforts at my favourite traffic exchange. You can read about that here. Incidentally, the two services linked in that article are what I strongly suggest you sign up to use to begin with. Other traffic exchanges do exist out there, but stay away from the auto-surfers. The convenience offered to you of just starting it and leaving it while you go away and do something else, means that not only are YOU not paying other member’s ads any mind, your ad won’t be paid any mind either. So if you’re going to put effort into these free methods of earning money, you want that effort to be wisely spent.

Classified ad sites, banner ad sites, particularly those that offer a form of affiliate system themselves such as:

can also work when it comes to promoting your free earning sites. You just need banners for the banner sites and sometimes square banners for the classified ad sites too. Some sites offer these already in their referral tools area, most don’t and you may have to create them in a graphics program on your own machine.

You decide how much time and effort you put into these sites that send you digital currency for no money, no time, and no effort directly on their programs. This article is simply here to say that yes, these sites do exist, you can earn and they do pay. But the earnings are small unless you at least invest time and effort promoting them.
