Neobux Updates : New Ad Offers, Lower Earnings for Members?

Click here to join Neobux, the #1 PTC site with INSTANT payments!

Before you read my post or even react, read the important announcement that the Neobux admin posted in the forum. It’s all about the implementation of new advertisement offers that they are claiming should benefit not just the advertisers but members as well.

Now, here are some of the important things you should note about this recent change. Well, these are the only ones I think deserve to be pointed out as this might change your plans as a Neobux member:

  1. The advertisements we get now will earn us $0.001 per click VS $0.01 previously.
  2. The commission for referral clicks have changed, too.
    • Standard members – $0.0005 vs $0.005 previously
    • Golden members – $0.005 vs $0.01 or 100% referral commission before
    • Golden members with Golden Packs – $0.01 or 100% referral commission
  3. A 35% decrease in prices for advertising. This means more ads to click.
  4. Advertisers can now buy Fixed or Permanent ad spaces.

A lot of Neobux members might be alarmed by these changes. Here’s my take on these changes.

NOTE: My Golden membership has expired in February. I decided to NOT renew my membership because I want to check what’s going to happen now that I have 200+ rented referrals already.

 

Points #1 & #2: Lower earnings per click & referral commission

These changes might be the only ones that matter to most Neobux members. After being used to earning $0.01 per click, now, the earnings per ad viewed is down by a whooping 90%.

I know, that’s alarming, especially for those who have rented referrals. Referral commissions of Standard to Golden members WITHOUT Golden packs also lowered down to 50%.

A lot of members had negative reactions about these 2 points. And I can’t blame them.

 

Point #3: More ads, more ads to click, more earnings, right?

Neobux has lowered down the costs of advertising.on their site. That means more people would want to purchase advertising. For us members, that means more earnings, right?

Some may argue that since the click value of ads have lowered down too, there’s not much difference with the earnings no matter how many more ads are available to members. And, honestly, I agree with them.

  • Before these changes, for Standard members:
    • 4 Ads worth $0.01 each = $0.04 per day
    • 6+ micro ads worth $0.001 each = $0.006 per day
    • Total: $0.046 per day
  • After changes have been implemented:
    • 4 permanent ads worth $0.001 each = $0.004 per day
    • 6+ micro ads worth $0.001 each = $0.006 per day
    • Total: $0.01 per day

That’s a HUGE difference, right? But, wait. How about those who have referrals?

  • Before, for Standard members:
    • 100 direct referrals with 4 ads each = ($0.005 x 4) x 100 = $2.00 per day
  • After changes:
    • 100 direct referrals with 4 ads each = ($0.0005 x 4) x 100 = $0.20 per day

Ouch. Even with those micro exposure ads, I don’t think there’ll be much improvement with the earnings of members.

To sum this up, I’m not upgrading my Neobux account anymore. Well, at least not yet. I’ll stay as a Standard member until I see any improvement. I’ll keep you updated on my observations and if I’m about to change my mind.

What are your thoughts on these changes?!

Introduction

I started as a Neobux member back in 2008. As I know that I needed to refer people so I can earn more, I started my blog, PTC Site Reviews. I managed to gain about 40+ direct referrals through that blog before I finally decided to upgrade my Neobux account.

Here are a few details about my Neobux membership, as of October 24, 2010:

  • I am currently a Neobux Golden member. I upgraded in February 2010 and paid $90.00 for the Golden membership.

    Below is a screenshot of my Neobux Golden membership’s expiration: 02/08/2011

  • As of this writing, I have 96 Neobux direct referrals.

    I actually managed to gain 100+ direct referrals, but, some of them stopped clicking so they all were automatically deactivated by Neobux. Some might have been suspended. I am getting new referrals daily and I’m hoping they’ll be all active and stay honest so they’ll continue helping me make more money online with Neobux.

  • I currently have 207 rented referrals and I have no plans of renting more (yet).

  • I only got 4 ads daily when I was still a Standard member and 9 ads daily now that I’m a Golden member – this is the default number of ads available for each membership.

 

Most of my tips on this strategy guide will focus on referral management in Neobux as this has been the concern of most Neobux members. But, I will also provide general tips all throughout the articles.

As much as possible, I won’t use a lot of complicated computations that can confuse you. I am writing and sharing my Neobux tips and strategies for NEWBIES or those who are not that familiar yet with Paid to Click sites. But, along the way, I’ll be using a little (I promise) Math just to show you what I mean.

I will also be sharing with you the Excel spreadsheet I use so you can monitor your investments in Neobux. That way, you’ll know if you’re close to getting your investments back or you’re already losing a lot of money. It’s a very simple Excel spreadsheet – just so you know how much more you need to earn back before you can say you’re already earning profits from Neobux.

Disclaimer

I am not claiming that these Neobux tips and strategies will work for everyone simply because we’ve got different online hours, habits, and schedules so please make sure you consider all that before you follow my tips.

All my tips that you will read on this multi-part Neobux strategy guide WORKED and is still working for ME.

If you follow any of my tips and observed that your earnings are not improving or is actually decreasing compared to how much you were making before, then, by all means, go back to your old strategy.
