Deals 'n' Cash


Deals 'n' Cash is run by the same company as Hits4Pay, which you can learn more about by clicking here. The two are essentially the same in operation, though Deals 'n' Cash offers slightly less per ad, but some find it has more ads available. Upon joining, you'll be asked to choose topics that interest you. These determine what ads you will see.  It is strongly advised that you select the maximum number, 15, so you can receive more paid advertisements. It may also help to vary your interests a bit in order to get more ads.  Try to pick one or two interests from each category to maximize the number of as you'll get.

All you need to do is click the link and leave the tab open for a minute or two before clicking on to the next ad. You're free to use other tabs or windows while the ad page is open.

Each ad pays around one or two cents and you get $5.00 when you sign up. You also earn when your referrals and their referrals earn.  With enough referrals, this actually adds up quickly. When you reach $30.00, you receive payment to the Paypal account associated with your email address.

worldwinner.com

Before reading ahead, worldwinner.com is, from my understanding, US only and not available for residents of Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Vermont.

WorldWinner is a site that makes money by having people pay to play generic flash games. It isn't covered in advertisements like most of these sites, but rather encourages people to gamble on the games. Users pay up to several dollars to play a game against a few others and earn money depending on how they do.

However, you do not need to gamble to play or get rewards. Any games can be played for free for fun and worldwinner.com regularly runs promotions that give out points for playing certain games multiple times. Each month, there are four games that give you 500 points each if you play 5 times. Each week, there is a game selected that will give you 3,500 points if you play 15 times. It doesn't matter if you win, lose, or just leave the game in a different tab while the timer runs down. These are found by clicking the "my account" tab and then the "my promotions" tab on the next page. Assuming worldwinner.com continues to offer these promotions, that earns about 16,000 points per month.

The rewards you can cash out for are as follows:


Below is payment proof:

However, there is a catch. In order to cash out, you need to become a cash player, which means putting at least $10 in. Don't worry though, you can put your $10 in, redeem your reward, and then cash out your $10 right away. According to the worldwinner.com FAQ, there is a potential $1.75 charge for checks under $10, though it is not clear if this applies to Paypal. I suggest withdrawing $10 or more to avoid this potential problem.

Unfortunately once you become a cash player, those great weekly 3500 point promotions stop. As such, it is highly suggested that you save up points for the $200 gift card at 140,000 points.

A few games will say they require Internet Explorer, but don't worry, you can just open the game and close it a few times each day to get to the 5 or 15 plays required for the promotion. These games are rarely used for promotions anyway.

WorldWinner is a partner of InboxDollars, another potentially useful GPT site that will be covered in a later Web Loot Central entry.

You can join InboxDollars by clicking here and then navigate to worldwinner by clicking on "games" or simply go to http://www.worldwinner.com/ directly.

Neobux



Neobux is one of the few reputable Paid-To-Click(PTC) sites out there. PTC sites basically have the user view advertisements in exchange for money. Users and refer other members and get paid for their clicks as well. Unfortunately, PTC sites have a terrible reputation as being complete scams or not worth the time, and that reputation is well earned. Most PTC sites make users jump through hoops to try and actually get paid after viewing huge numbers of advertisements and often require users to invest real money before they can cash out. Neobux, however, is one of the few reputable ones that has been around for several years and actually pays its users.

Like most PTC sites, the pay per click is very low, ranging from 1/10th to 1 cent for free users. You can upgrade with a  monthly fee that increases the amount you get per click, but without a large number of referrals it simply wouldn't be worth the money. However, even if you don't want to get piles of direct referrals, you can still make money by using your on-site earnings, or off-site actual money, to rent referrals. In fact, this is how you will make most of your money. These rented referrals cost 20 cents per 30 days. If they're at least somewhat active they will earn you much more than their cost in that time. You can always extend or renew the rented referral, or allow them to expire if they are not clicking regularly. Neobux tends to match you up with rented referrals that are active.

In order to get credit for your referrals clicks, you need to do a few clicks each day yourself. Fortunately this is fairly simple. To be more specific, you need to view at least 4 qualifying ads daily. Which ads qualify? The Standard Exposure ads(normally green and pay $0.005 or $0.01) and the gold colored Fixed Advertisements(not to be confused with the green Fixed Advertisements) will count towards the required minimum of 4 ads per day.  If you don't have any of these ads available, just check back a few hours later and there will probably be new ones available.

The ads take between 5 and 30 seconds to give you credit for viewing them. Isn't this going to be painfully boring? Well no, it doesn't have to. While the ad does need to be open long enough to credit your account, you don't need to sit there and stare at it. Navigating to another tab in your browser will stop the ad from processing, but you can minimize it and use a different window without penalty.

If you'd like, you can always view more advertisements for a small amount or the bonus ad prizes that are made available temporarily when you view any other ads.  The ad prizes don't credit you money for every click, but they have a small chance of giving you money or even upgrading your member status. They can be clicked through quickly by keeping them in a small window and just clicking the next button as it appears while you do other things. Again, the additional ads and ad prizes are 100% optional and you can be successful on the site without them.

To summarize:
  1. Most PTC sites are scams or wastes of time, but Neobux is an exception.
  2. Join
  3. Click ads
  4. Rent referrals 
  5. Keep clicking at least 4 qualifying ads per day
  6. Cash out and/or use your earnings to rent more referrals


A proper tutorial with pictures and more detail will be added in the future.

Bing Rewards

In an effort to compete with Google, Microsoft offers a rewards program for using Bing. There are plenty of little things to click through for some starting credits and you can get 5 credits per referral for the first 5 referrals, but most of your points will come from searching. It's 1 credit per 2 searches You can get up to 20 credits per day, so 40 quick searches gets 20 credits each day. It doesn't matter if the searches are for web results, images or anything else.

Some of the rewards you can redeem credits for are:
125 credits for 100 Microsoft points
525 credits for $5 amazon or starbucks gift card
694 credits for 1 month of hulu plus
20 or 40 credits for various sweepstakes such as chances to win an Xbox 360
150 credits for a Redbox rental

It's a slow earner but takes very little time/effort.

Is r/beermoney tapped out for Superpoints referrals?

Reddit.com's /r/beermoney has provided me with more Superpoints referrals than any other source and was also  what introduced me to Superpoints. That said, over the coarse of a few months, I've seen Superpoints come into and fall out of the site's favor. People often complain that the subreddit cannot provide referrals because everyone on there is already on Superpoints. While most frequent readers are most likely already sign up for Superpoints, I suspected people with this complaint may be overlooking the subreddit's growth.

Over 25 days, I've periodically recorded the number of subscribed readers. Below are my notes on the dates and number of subscribed readers:

     
03/01/12 5937
03/02/12 5991
03/04/12 6002
03/05/12 6007
03/06/12 6023
03/07/12 6050
03/08/12 6050
03/09/12 6048
03/12/12 6060
03/14/12 6078
03/19/12 6170
03/20/12 6198
03/25/12 6317

That's an increase of 380 subscribed readers in 25 days. Sometimes throughout the day, I would notice the number drop slightly, so unless all those people re-subscribed later, I suspect the number of new, subscribed readers is closer to 400.  This combined with the readers that do not actually subscribe to the subreddit lead me to believe the number of potential Superpoints referrals coming to r/beermoney is still a great place to get referrals if approached intelligently.  

Do you have other suggestions for great places where readers are likely to be interested in Superpoints or any other GPT sites? If so, leave a comment and let us know.

Update: As of May 6th, /r/beermoney is up to 7,035 members. That means that in a little over a month, it grew by over 700 subscribed readers!
