What is Neobux?

Neobux is the benchmark in PTC sites today. It has been online since 2008 and has paid it’s members over $60 million. It continues to set the standard in innovation and benefits for both members and advertisers. My Neobux strategy guide will give you all of the information you need to earn the most from it.

Is Neobux a scam?

Although there are many, many scam sites in the world of PTC’s, Neobux certainly is not one of them. They offer instant cashouts to their members, which means by the time you have submitted your request for a payout and logged in to your Paypal or Alertpay account, the money is already there! Some members make over $2000 per month from Neobux alone, in part due to it’s generous rented referral system that allows everyone to make some decent money.

Getting started with Neobux:

If you are not a member already, you can join under me by clicking the banner at the top of this page. Once you have set up your account simply go to view advertisements. You will be paid a small amount for each ad you view. You won’t make a lot of money from clicking ads yourself, but if you look at the bigger picture you can have hundreds or thousands of referrals all clicking ads every day and you will make a portion of their earnings. Referrals are quite easy to get as you are not asking them to spend any money at all, instead you will be showing them how to earn money every day.

Which ads should I click first?

When you log in each day you will see the ads are sorted into a few categories.
Fixed advertisements (purple) These are ads that people have paid $100 to have displayed for a 24 hour period. You earn $0.001 from these.
Standard exposure (green) If you’re lucky you will be online at the right time to see one of these. They pay you 1 cent each.
Micro exposure (green) You will be paid $0.001 for each of these and should see a few each day. If you log in a few times a day you will see plenty.
Fixed advertisements (gold) These are your 4 guaranteed ads each day. In a month or so these will become very important to you.

Which ads should I click first?

Always start with the green standard exposure ads followed by the green micro exposure ads. This is because these can disappear at any moment once they have received their click allocation.
Next you should click the purple fixed exposure ads which are available for 24 hours usually, then finally you click the gold fixed advertisements which are available every day (4 of them).
Why? Well if you are busy clicking the gold ads which will remain available until you have clicked them, you could be missing out on some green ads which are only available for a short time. This is why you should always start with the green ads. Remember we are trying to squeeze every cent we can out of this.
For your first couple of weeks, all you need to do is log in each day and click all available ads.

What is Neobux Adprize?

Neobux Adprize is great for advertisers and great for members. For every ad you view, you will receive an additional 3 Adprize views. Every Adprize view is a chance to win a prize, such as Neopoints, cash and upgrades. You don’t have to view ads with Adprize, but you could be missing out on a fantastic prize if you don’t. If you are an advertiser, it means you will get more views to your ad without paying any additional money. It’s a win-win situation for everyone!

Renting referrals:

You can rent your first pack of 3 referrals for 60 cents. I suggest however, waiting until you have $1 in your account balance so you can cover renewing and recycling costs. They will last for a month and you can renew them for longer or recycle them if they aren’t clicking enough. You also have the option of using the autopay feature which will add time to their expiry date whenever they click ads. This is a good feature to use in the early stages when available funds are limited. Later on down the track you will want to renew them for 240 days at a time as this is the most cost effective option.
Whenever your rented referral clicks a gold fixed advertisement, you will receive half a cent as a free member. To receive this, you must have clicked your own gold fixed advertisements the previous day. This is where it is important that you only click the gold ads once in a 24 hour period. You don’t want to end up with 8 gold clicks one day and zero the next. The easiest thing to do is log in at the same time each day to click the gold ads. You will notice a message at the top of your screen saying you have not clicked any ads for today – this is when you need to click them. You can still log in multiple times per day to click all of the other ads.

Renewing and recycling referrals:

When you rent your first referrals they will cost you 20 cents each and are good for a month. You will make half a cent from each gold ad they click.
20 cents for 30 days means they are costing you $0.0067 per day or two thirds of a cent. This is where it is important to keep an eye on their averages. If their average is too low then you may be losing a small amount of money on them because you are only making half a cent but spending two thirds of a cent.
There are a few things we can do to improve the situation. You can recycle them and get a new referral at a cost of 7 cents, or you can look at ways to reduce the cost of having the referral which will lower the number of clicks needed to break even. The other option is to upgrade to golden membership where you will receive 1 cent for your referrals clicks, but this is not worth doing until you have 300 rented referrals.
So how do we reduce our referral cost? The longer you extend a referral for, the greater the discount. If you extend their rental for 60 days you will get a 10% discount, 18% for 90 days, 25% for 150 days and 30% for 240 days. This will have the effect of lowering your daily cost and the number of clicks needed to break even from each referral.
It’s also a good idea if you can afford it to deposit some money into your rental balance. Even just by putting $10 in you can rent some referrals and extend their rentals at a discounted cost. You don’t need to spend money as this is all a free system, however you can speed up your earnings quite dramatically by investing a small amount of money.
If you can’t afford to put money into your rental balance, you can use the autopay system. This is how Neobux describes it:
If you have AutoPay enabled, on the first click a referral makes per day, you’ll pay to keep that referral for an extra day. If the referral does not click, you won’t pay him for another day.
So, imagine you rented 500 referrals by spending $100 for a month’s rent. Instead of paying $100 again at the next due date (yes, it hurts), you can pay for them daily. In the end, you’ll save $15 and you’ll never run out of referrals (*). Also, you don’t have to worry about the due date (*). While it’s easier to pay this way, it’s also cheaper for you because you save 15% of a whole month’s rent.
Basically, you’ll pay one day in advance to your referral’s due date.
The value for each referral/day will be deducted from your rental balance. If your rental balance has insufficient funds, it will deduct from your main balance. If both balances have insufficient funds, it won’t be triggered and will only work again when one of the balances has enough funds.
(*) Please keep in mind that while you may have AutoPay activated, it’s only triggered for referrals that have 20 or more days left until the next payment. This value is smaller for some Golden Packs.

When should I upgrade to Golden at Neobux?

Slow down, not yet!! It is a good strategy to make sure you have your maximum allocation of 300 rented referrals as a free member. The reason for this is that just about every Golden member is renting referrals, and you are now trying to compete with them to get access to whatever amount of referrals are available to that particular membership type for that day. It’s quite easy to rent as a free member but at the upgraded levels it is not quite so easy, however there is the option of using the rental queue which will give you the referrals but at a higher cost.

How to get direct referrals at Neobux:

Firstly, a word of caution. You are limited in the number of direct referrals you can have based on how long you have been a member and your membership type. If you click on the direct referrals page it will tell you how many you can currently have. It is always a good idea to be aware of how many you can have before running any promotions.
The problem most people have with getting direct referrals is keeping them active. Often a new referral will click ads for a month or two and then give up because they are only making a few dollars. This can be somewhat circumvented by considering investing in the site to jump start the earning process. $150 will get you 300 rented referrals and the golden membership which will allow you to start making money very soon after signing up.
