My last post talked about myLot as one of the sites where I try to earn online. To be honest, earnings are quite slow -- and that's MY FAULT. Earnings in myLot is based on interaction, so if you post and comment a lot, you get to the minimum withdrawal threshold fast. But if you're not always on the site, well...

See? MY FAULT. :)

Anyway, today, I'll be talking about another site where I try to earn online: ClixSense.

What is ClixSense, exactly?

For many who have been in paid-to-click (PTC) programs, you're probably familiar with it. ClixSense is a popular PTC site wherein members from around the world click and view ads.

There are other ways to earn through ClixSense. There's the Clixgrid game where you randomly pick a square tile from the grid for a chance to earn a few more cents. There's also the Offers and Surveys wherein, if you qualify and finish them, you're paid bigger than the ad clicks. ClixSense also has an Affiliate Program for its members. You can earn from it if you refer someone to sign up for ClixSense.

How much can you earn from ClixSense?

Members can earn up to USD 0.02 per ad click (this more likely varies per location because I usually get USD 0.0001 ads). The Clixgrid lets you win up to USD 0.10 if you pick the right tile.

The Offers and Surveys let you earn bigger than the ad clicks. By experience, the earnings range from USD 0.25 to less than a dollar per Survey or offer.

Premium members earn bigger, whether from commissions, referrals, or doing tasks. But that means you have to pay for your membership every year (as opposed to the regular members who signed up for free).

How do you get paid?

You have to reach the minimum threshold of USD 8, if you're a regular member. Premium members can withdraw their earnings once it reaches USD 6.

Electronic payments are through Paypal, Payza, Paytoo and Neteller.There will be deductions when they process the payment, so don't expect to receive the full amount. But it's minimal and negligible.

My ClixSense experience

I joined ClixSense around 2013, the time I got convinced to try PTCs. I've read reviews that they were legit and that members have been paid. I signed up and did ad clicks ONLY back then, so my earnings were slow. I think I made only USD 0.10 in 4 or 6 months.

The first few weeks were quite okay, but then, the repetitive ad clicking got boring for me, so I stopped.

It was only last year that I thought of resurrecting my ClixSense account. I found out from a forum that they were still alive and paying their members.

This time, I tried the Offers and Surveys tasks. I didn't have much luck in the Offers. But it was another story with the Surveys.

I answered a questionnaire that lets the system pre-qualifies me for a survey. After that, I got my first survey. And I got to complete it.

After that, another survey came. And another, and another.

There were surveys that I got qualified, some I got declined because I wasn't qualified or because there were enough respondents for it.

So yes, the key is that if a survey alert arrives, answer it immediately.

Anyway, so I just kept doing surveys and clicking ads. After just 2 months of surveys and ad clicks, I met the minimum payout of USD 8.

I GOT PAID.



Wow! I didn't expect that. But yes, ClixSense is legit and it PAYS.

A tip: the way to bigger earnings with ClixSense is through answering the Surveys. And by experience, this is what you should focus on, along with the ad clicks.

ClixSense is legit, not a scam! But it's not a get-rich-quick program!

Again, when earning online, don't expect earning big and fast. See the payment for the ad clicks and surveys--it's not huge, but the extra money helps.

Join ClixSense here and earn by viewing ads and doing surveys and tasks!

myLot is one of the sites that I'm participating in to earn online.

What is myLot, exactly?

myLot is an online community in which members from around the world create and participate in discussions on different topics. It's basically paid-to-write, in the sense that you earn from starting discussions and commenting on others' topics.

You can also learn from doing Offers, if you are eligible.

How much can you earn from myLot?

According to their FAQ, it depends on how interesting or valuable the myLot community finds it. The more comments and likes your post makes, the more money it will make.

How do you get paid?

You have to reach their minimum threshold of USD 5, payable to Paypal only. That's why it's important to be active on the site and to have a Paypal account (which you can configure later).

My myLot experience

I joined myLot around 2008 but wasn't really very active. That time, I was happy with the social activity of joining discussions and making my own posts. And then a year after that, they underwent new management and before I knew it, they stopped the earnings scheme.

Fast forward to the present, after backreading emails, I found myLot again and thought of checking it out. Last 2013, the site had another facelift and the earning scheme was back again, but only for discussions and offers. Way back, members were able to earn through referrals, but that's not possible now -- at least not yet, according to the FAQ. That's probably going to happen down the line.

Have I cashed out? Not yet. I was halfway through the cashout when they decided to stop payments way back. Now, I'm almost at the USD 2 mark, but that's because I'm not always there like the other users (because of my day job and mom duties). But there had been members that cashed out. One of them even said that myLot did not deduct anything when she cashed out, even at the minimum threshold. So that's one positive thing about the site.

I plan to continue using myLot because I find socializing there fun. The members are very nice to talk to and sometimes they are able to help you with things. Just keep everything clean and friendly, and you'll enjoy your time at myLot.

myLot is not a get-rich-quick program!

I believe there is no such thing as a get-rich-quick scheme. If a site offers that, it's probably a scam. At myLot, you have to participate and work a bit extra to earn online. But don't forget the fun, it's what will make you stay at myLot.

Join myLot here and have fun socializing with people from around the world!

(this isn't a referral link -- they don't have an affiliate program just yet.)

Yes, it's not the first time that I've tried earning online. I've done so in the past, sometime during my early years of blogging. But I didn't take it seriously... unfortunately for me.

I don't know why, I just lost my "mojo." I got a bit busy with work as well and lost more time blogging. Then I gave birth to my first daughter and got even busier.

Time. The lack of it. That was what happened.

I lost track of the opportunities I signed up for. I became less active until I completely had no time for them.

Looking back, maybe when I continued, I would have been more successful in earning online.

And today, I'm hoping it's not too late for me.

For now, it's back to zero. Or maybe one. I've started to do some things I've done in the past.

Hopefully, even if slowly, I can get on track to earning online again.

Hi there and welcome to my blog! As you can surmise by the title of my blog, this site will detail my experiences in finding opportunities to earn online.

But wait, before I go any further, let me introduce myself.

I'm Michelle, a 30-something Filipina; a wife and mom; and a full-time web content writer for a BPO industry catering to hotels and accommodations. I've been blogging since 2008, maintaining Hits and Mrs. on WordPress (free, by the way).

So why did I come up with this blog?

Simple: I wanted to find a way to gain additional income. I have two little kids and big bills to pay. Well, my husband shares in that, but with our line of work and the growing needs at home, the combined income we get from our day jobs is just enough -- sometimes barely -- to pay for everything.

I've always been on the lookout for additional income streams. So far, what I have done is invest in insurance (for future use) and do other writing on the side.  My sideline is from referrals from friends and former co-workers.

But you know what, I found that there's a wealth of opportunities online. This I discovered while looking for other work to do to add to the money in the bank. And, to be honest, there were times that I have tried joining or was close enough to joining these opportunities. I got inspired by people who found success in making money online.

It will take hard work, though. Earning online is not a walk in the park nor a get-rich-quick thing. From what I've read, it takes time and dedication to be able to make money online.

And that's what I plan to do.

And that's what I want to share to you, too.

Because I know I'm not the only one who's looking for online earning opportunities. I know that you want to earn money, too, and turn to the internet as your source of income, whether main or just additional. And I know that you want guidance and enlightenment when searching for online income opportunities.

This is what I envision to do through this blog: to help you reach your financial goals through online income opportunities.

And through this blog, together, I know we can make it happen.

So join me in my quest to discover ways that we can make money online! If you have anything to say, don't hesitate to leave a comment below.

Here's to us and our future success!
