Get Paid To Read Mail: Hits4Pay

I've joined this so-called PTR (Paid-To-Read) e-mails very long ago that i've already forgot when I joined it. It is an old site opened 10 years ago (if I'm not mistaken) and is acclaimed as the highest paying company in the industry. Compared to PTC, this is really a relax job. You do not need to click 10-20 ads daily, what you have to do is to "read" your email. Here's how it works (I just copy from the site itself):

1. Get paid $0.02 for reading and visiting our advertiser's messages send to you and get paid $0.01 from your referrals reading their messages.
2. To get paid for each email, you must click on the 'Validation Link' at the bottom of each message send to you.
3. You will receive messages via 'Regular Email' and in your 'Internal Mail Box'.
4. Look for regular email messages from us in your email account. You are set to receive messages from Hits4Pay at your e-mail.
5. The same messages that you receive in your regular email account can be read from your 'Internal Mail Box'.
6. You will only get credit for reading messages once. If you read advertiser messages from your regular mail box, you will not get credit for the same message from your 'Internal Mail Box'.
7. Checks are sent out 10 to 15 days after payments are cleared (zeroed out).
8. Subscriber commissions shall be paid by company check. Checks are distributed monthly when members reach the minimum of $25.00. Any account that has reached the minimum payout of $25.00 or more will be zeroed out on the 1st of every month. Accounts that does not meet the minimum payout requirement will be rolled over to the next month respectively. ONLY ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE REACHED $25.00 OR MORE ARE ZEROED OUT ON THE 1st OF EVERY MONTH. (There is a $2.00 check fee when a check is sent.)
9. The signup bonus of $10 will only be paid to members when member's total commissions reaches $25. Commissions earned that are less than minimum required will be carried over into the next month.

And these are what they offer:

1. Signup Reward: Earn $10 in your Hits4Pay account as soon as you signup for a free account.
2. Direct Income: Earn $0.02. Earn $0.02 for each advertiser's email that you read from us.
3. Direct Referral Income (level one): Earn $0.01. Refer us to a few friends and earn $0.01 for each email that they read. You will get credit for your direct referral reading emails.
4. Referral Income: (level two): Earn $0.01. When your direct referrals refer others, you earn $0.01 for them reading the emails we send them.
5. Payout: Any account that has reached the minimum payout of $25.00 or more will be zeroed out on the 1st of every month, and checks mailed out on or before the 15th.

Yes, it seems easy right? Yet, you need to "crawl" until you get the payment. In my experience, I got the e-mails (called Ads) very extremely slowly from the site, about only 1 or 2 Ads in a few days. That means you'll get $0.02 every several days. Haha. Honestly, up until now (including the $10 signout bonus), I only got $10.32!!! What is my mistake?

The true trick to earn more from this site is to gain referrals because you get paid ($0.01) when they read e-mails as well. In fact, this program offers up to 3 levels of referrals. Therefore, the more referrals you have, the more chance of you to earn more from this program. I got no referral.

JOIN NOW if you are interested.. =) If you have been paid or have some comment on this site, please feel free to leave a comment =)

uBux.biz is a SCAM?

uBux.biz is finally closed and I took quite some time to post this article. This is because uBux.biz was one of my favorite PTC site for the past few weeks. Well, that is before the problem started when the owner of the decided to sell that site.

MuazHadi have listed the chronology of uBux.biz in his article entitled uBux.biz added to the SCAM list as follows:

1. the founder is Enigma, well known personel in PTC world. He was the founder of Titan Network together with Cronus (Titan Network - sold early this month). As it attached with Titan Network, many members from Titancash and Advercash joined this ptc and they got a lot of members in a short time.
2. hv some bugs problem in their script
3. problem with MyPayScript (I personally lost more than $30 in MyPayScript) where uBux (Enigma) lost more than $4000 because of MPS internal problem
4. Enigma tried very hard to survive and members support him very much including me
5. Enigma decided to sell uBux (about $500) to Hamza whom he considered as a trustworthy person because he decided to focus on his college study
6. Hamza took it and after 2 days, he decided to shut the site down and wanted to give the site back to Titan Network as he found there are many bugs problem and loads of pending payment
7. Cronos and Enigma managed to convince Hamza that the site has a lot of potential and Hamza come back with the new domain of uBux
8. Hamza tried to pay to some of the members to gain back the uBux reputation
9. Hamza said he can't make anymore payment because his Alertpay account still not verified. Members believe him and stay calm
10. uBux found to be in the auction site for sell but Hamza denied that he is going to sell uBux
11. uBux site down and Hamza announce that the site was sold to the trusted owner
12. Hamza announce that the negotiation failed and he lost all the data because he gave all the data to the new owner bla bla bla bla - a lot of explaination...i"m bored
13. BANG!!!! - uBux gone..

Here's the story as told by the former owner of uBux himself (Hamza) quoted from what he said in PTCTalk Forum:

Well here is the real story, since people seem to be going berserk...right, let's move on. I will outline this in a sort of timeline format.

1. I am told by a friend ubux is for sale, he hooks me up with enigma, I buy it.
2. I get tons of problems in the beginning with many issues including script, previous site debt( which exceeded 10,000 after a few weeks.)
3. I get someone to fix script for me, and listen to Cronus who says I can get out of this if I follow his advice.
4. Advice does not work, more debt.
5. I spend all money(even my own from selling scripts.) on paying old debt.
6. I empty all money I made into more payouts.
7. More debt accumulates, I realise Cronus and Enigma's "hints" didn't work.
8. I get an offer for the site, and immediately sell it. (wouldn't you?)
9. The buyer looks at it and finds tons of debt( I told him there was) and bales out.
10. I kept no database or script copy( it was part of the deal I don't), and he will not respond to all contact.

Hmm..that's sad. I've earned quite an amount in that site, close to cashout. However, I could not trace any statement saying that this site is officially closed (yet). In my sense, this issue is not about scam or cheaters trying to fly with the money, it is more to their incapability to manage their PTC site.

This should be a lesson for those whose very keen in opening their own PTC site huh!?

p/s: I wonder what has happened to the Money-Cycler & the Extreme-Ads. Both of this site have been off line for a week I think. Hmm..

PTC: How To Get Referrals

The quick way to earn when you join PTC is to have a bundle of quality referrals. In fact, most of your earnings will come from your referrals. What do we mean by quality referrals? When your are involved in PTC, you will notice that not all of your referrals will do their function in clicking their Ads. Referrals are also human, and human can be lazy sometimes.

Is it hard to find referrals? Here's are some tips of a few ways on how you can get good quality referrals for your PTC programs.

1st: Buy the un-referred member's package

IF you have a capital, this is of course the easier yet costly way for you to gain a lot of referrals in a short of times. Most PTC sites ussually process your request fast within 1-2 days. Buying referrals package from the PTC sites can be said as a kind of gambling in a manner that it is not guaranteed that all the referrals will be active. Be careful because, although there are no significant proofs yet (as much as I know), PTC sites may also sell fake referrals.

2nd: Promote to your friends, others
This would be the first that come in your mind but I think its better to be put as No 2. Call all your friend and promote the PTC sites your involved. Explain to them how's PTC works (don't lie). If you have a blog, put it in your blog. Or, make a video and put it in YouTube. If you have payment proof, show them.

3rd: Referral Exchange
Make referral exchange with your friends, or join forums and make referral exchange with the forumers. I've been joining a referral exchange program in The PTCTalk Forum and the result is positive. Referrals exchange is being ones referral in a PTC in an exchange of having them as your referrals in other PTC.

4th: Join Get Referral Program
The are currently a bunch of Get Referral Programs in the net if you can find in the net. This site works by advertising your referral links in an expense of points collected by joining other PTC program. Up until now, I have joined 2:
1- GETREF
Honestly, don't actually get any referral from this site. They have too many members. 80,000 members will be available to be as your referral AND at the same time 80,000 will compete with you to get those referrals. However, this site is a good place for you to promote and gain traffic for your sites. There are also a list of other PTC, PTR(Paid-to-Read), Traffic Exchange, etc sites for your exposure. Regist for free and get to know by yourself.
2- SimpleRefs.com
I got some referrals from this site. The good thing from SimpleRef is that you can get to know your refs from there and stay in touch with your referrals with the on-site chat function. I think this site is new and there are not many members yet there.

Thats it. If there would be any sugestion or addition into this list, please do comment. Thanks.
