Ucash.in - Short Update
2008-03-29 13:30:00
It was exactly 2 month ago since I had joined Ucash.in, an URL shortening site that pays you for every click generated on one of the shortened links you provide to your readers. To find out more about the benefits of this service, you can read my short Ucash.in review first!Now it's time for a short recap about my earnings. But before anybody gets too excited here, let me tell you that I haven't made too much. It was only $0.60 in those 2 month...But (yes there's a but here), those earnings were mainly from my referrals alone. The last two month I was able to directly refer 12 people to Ucash.in. And by the way, you must know that there's a 10-level deep referral program and so far I only have refs on the first level. I'm still waiting for some more refs in the levels below.All in all I won't say that Ucash.in is bad at all. It makes good sense to join the program if you have a site with many visitors a day. It would be very possible to make some good bucks, especially with ma...

Bux.to Card Approved
2008-03-25 13:04:00
On March 7th I have ordered the new Bux.to Mastercard. Today, after waiting for nearly 20 days, I finally got a mail from Payoneer with those nice words "your card got approved" :)You may ask why I'm telling you this? Well, I will encourage all the people that are still waiting for their card to get approved. The Payoneer staff has a lot of hard work to do, because many thousand people are applying for the Mastercard. So, for some people it may even take longer before they'll get their card. But the card will come!Now I'm waiting for the card to be send to me by mail. I think it will take some days, because I'm from Germany and the card will be shipped from the USA. But, as long as I'll get the card, I'll feel happy.I'll keep you informed on further updates regarding the card!Ciao,Querblogger

Paid.vg - Still Waiting for First Payments

On February 25th I've made my first cashout request on Paid .vg, a really good PTC sites comparable to Bux.to. I've requested $12.50 nearly a month ago, but so far I didn't receive my payout. I've done some research in the forums and it seems some people already got paid the last days. I hope I will receive my first bucks too. My current account balance is now at $24, thanks to my 7 referrals who click eveyday. If it turns out that they really pay, Paid.vg seems like a very good money maker.See you,QuerbloggerPS: I know, it's only a short post.

Bum Marketing Experiment - Intro
2008-03-19 19:43:00
At the moment I'm involved in investigating a really nice money making opportunity called Bum Marketing . Basically, it's a way to make money online without investing a single cent. Therefore it's called "Bum" Marketing, because even a bum from the street could (in theory) start earning a nice income online without paying anything for it.The basic idea behind this marketing method is the following. First, you have to search a product you want to promote. It should be a niche product that people really want to buy. For example a uber-great ebook about magic methods for losing weight without doing any hard work on it (Ok, it's probably an ugly example... :)Second thing is keyword research. Look for long-tail keywords with high search volume and less competition (Third part in Bum Marketing is writing articles with your long-tail keywords in the title and body. It's really important to write your article with those keywords in mind to get the best position in the search results lat...

The eBay Standalone Affiliate Program
2008-03-17 21:01:00
Weird post title? You're right, I haven't found a better one such fast. But the major news behind this title is great (at least I hope so)!Maybe you can remember one of my posts about becoming an eBay affiliate from outside the USA? If not, just let me tell you that it can be very difficult to register for the US based affiliate network if you resides somewhere outside the USA. But why eBay USA? Well, it brings higher comissions and a much broader target market then eBay UK for example.Ok, now the major news. eBay has just announced today that they will start their very own affiliate program by April 1st. That means, no more CJ.com registration is required to join their network. And the best fact, they will globalize (!) their program. According to their news release they state:"Easy global registration to multiple countries simultaneously"I hope applying for international eBay affiliate programs will get easier now. If this would be possible, there would be many new ways to make...
