In the interest of the College Kid's Quest for Cool Cash Online Experiment, I have decided to start a new project, yes I am starting a new blog. What is the blog about? Well it will help you clear your debts. Are you under debt? Then I can help you out. Yes a 19 year old boy, a geek money maker- a guy who could just manage to make 5.81 dollars in the last month is gonna teach you the way out. Sounds interesting-sounds more funny too.
Well there are many plans behind it. The actual reason to start the blog is obvious-TO MAKE MORE MONEY. I know the amount of time required will be a little too much and a lot of hard work must be put into it. But once you start making money online, there are no excuses really. So get on with it, its life after all!
The second reason is that the Experiment needs to explore the passive streams to making money online rather than the active ones. So I am trying to achieve that. So my personal advice to you all will be to have as many sites as possible. But take care to maintain them all. I know its all not that easy. But the other side of the coin is that its better to have one site earning you 100 dollars a month than 20 sites collectively erning you 100 a month. So think about that too. Its your decision.
There are many more reasons which I am going to unfold in the coming weeks. So subscribe to the Cool Experiment so that you don't miss any of the adventure. Its gonna be better and better.

You must have probably heard of PTC sites which claim to give you free premium memberships even before they officially launch. Premium memberships for FREE!!! Yes, nothing to lose you would say. But what is this 'premium membership'?
Well, If they offered 10 ads to you when you were a free member, they may offer say 15 or 20 ads for you to click when you upgrade to premium. They say more ads each day equals more money. So guys and gals who already are looking for some easy cash sign up to such sites and claim free premium memberships. They get 15 ads per day. They make 15 or 20cents per day without any efforts(really!), which would have been only 10 cents if they were free members. They see the money reeling(fantasy!) and they work hard and collect referrals, and their referrals click and then when they reach payout and they request payment, they are assured by the site that they will be paid in the coming time. But one day-Whammo! The site explodes somewhere; no more ads to click, no more money, nothing. What did you gain? You'll answer back 'What did I lose...lol! Everything was free!'. But think practically;
You clicked 10 ads per day=10ads x 0.5min=5mins wasted=$0.00 earned
Your 20 referrals clicked 10 ads per day=20refs x 10ads x 0.5min=100mins=3hrs10mins wasted=$0.00 earned
This example of wastage of time is only for 20 referrals.
And when you claim your free premium membership, these are the statistic(considering you get 20 ads to click);
You clicked 20 ads per day=20ads x 0.5min=10mins wasted=$0.00 earned
Your 20 referrals clicked 20 ads per day=20ref x 20ads x 0.5min=200mins=6hrs20mins wasted=$0.00 earned.
This example of wastage of time is only for 20 referrals.
6 hours 20 mins wasted collectively everyday for almost nothing! Some of you won't agree with me, but TRUTH is TRUTH, whatsoever!
You go on for a month or two hoping that they pay you, but do they really pay??? Never. Yes, the site gets paid by its advertisers and the admin promises to pay their clickers(which they never do!) and they keep all the profits. Thats how they fall into the scam list, then they shut down their site, and then the same admin comes with a new disguise, with a new name, with a new site for search of new scapegoats!(usually called as CLICKERS).
Now why am I speaking all this. Because I found one. YES!!! I found a site which claims to give away its premium membership worth $90!!! They claim to pay $0.0125 per ad you click for 20 seconds and 0.0125 per ad your referral clicks for 20 seconds if you are a free member and 20 ads for premium members. The site is in its prelaunch beta, but still there are ads to click. I signed up there, but because the site looked a bit fishy(like most potential scam sites), I never thought of doing any business with it.
Forget about the free membership lol. I don't want it! You wanna check it out then type this www.netcashbux(dot)com. I don't want to give such sites free links, dude, you can understand!
Thats my view about PTC sites. I am not a big fan of PTC sites. Unless I google around and until I am confirmed that the site has had a great background and a good track record(in terms of payment to its members), I don't do any business with them. I don't just go, sign up and give away my personal information to such sites only to get my email inbox spammed, you know! So, I just don't rely on PTCs for
cash, there are many alternatives to them.
Then, are all such type of sites fake? No, not all. There are only some handful sites like Crewbux.com which pay its members. The admin at Crewbux is one of the few which pays its members really and pays them on time. Their payout is $5 and they pay you $0.01 per ad you click for 30 seconds and $0.005 per ad your referrals click for 30 seconds. They pay via Paypal or Alertpay. I like ptc sites which pay via paypal, there are only few such which do. If you want to earn some real cash helping me earn then click here to sign up to Crewbux.
Plus you are free to suggest legimitate ptc sites like Crewbux so that we can all benefit from them, but remember they should be legit, thats the only criterion required.

Sorry for this post. I know its nowhere related to this blog's blog topic, but I want to ask you all, Are we breaking the rules?
This is regarding the blogspot navbar, which is not in this template. I have also seen many others not having it so was thinking it is OK. Last month some guy who had a look at my blog slammed me for it and said that I broke the code of Ethics. My reply though polite was a little rude.
Today when browsing for some help in my blogger dashboard I came around this thing in the Terms of Service,
"Unless you publish your blog via FTP, the Navbar cannot be disabled."
What do you say? Shall I enable it before google takes my blog away? Has anyone's blog been taken away for this reason? I won't have any problems enabling it. Atleast it will save my blog.

A decision has been made over the last few days, to stop trying to post every single day, and combine a few days events and ideas into a less regular post of more substance.
Have you ever noticed, that a large article, that sits for three or four days, without other articles being continually plonked on top of it seems to develop better feedback from visitors to your site? Well I have and I tell you that I love feedback and soon I have got some plans to make this blog a 'do follow' blog to make sure that my readers are encouraged to comment regularly, of course I will turn on the comment moderation option, because even if Iove feedback, I hate spam.
Moneywise as promised, we will discover new as well as different revenue streams. We will write sponsored posts, take surveys, etc. I still encourage you to help us with new streams and also tell us your experiences with those sites.
Though many would think that $5.81 earned last month was a meagre amount, I would like to tell those people that money will come slowly and gradually and it will come on its own. Yes we are very slow towards our target, but we don't want to hurry towards it man, after all the College Kid's Quest for Cool Cash Experiment is all about positive thinking and money manifesting on its own. So we are optimistic about cash coming on its own, we just have to go with the flow! Let the opportunities come, we just take them. Thats all about our Experiment lol!

We are in the second month of our online adventure and this month is going to be a big one for us. As I promised you, I've joined a survey site called ciao.co.uk which is a survey site from the UK and which pays its United Kingdom(UK) members. It also pays for writing product reviews.
Their format is simple. Just fill in their free form with your real information with your primary email address. After you fill in the form and submit it, you will be sent an email on the ID you provided where there will be a confirmational link. Just fill out the detailed survey profiles that interest you to increase the number of invitations you receive. Be honest. Honesty is what they appreciate.
Earnings:
Just complete the surveys honestly and get paid between £1-5 GBP or the US dollars equivalent. Cash rewards are paid into your Ciao account.
Unfortunately, if you are from outside UK, you won't get paid over here, still you can have fun on this site or www.ciao.com would be the best option for you if you want to get paid. They pay you for writing honest product reviews.
Payments:
You can request your payments from the UK survey site ciao.co.uk when you reach the threshold of £5 GBP. You get credited directly in your UK bank account.
Referral System:
You get 50 pence or a dollar if I am not wrong for referring people to that site and getting them signed under you!
Best thing I liked about the site is that unlike other survey sites this site has got a Community. You will become part of one of the world's largest consumer communities. You'll get a member's only benefit of having your own member's homepage. No only that but you can exhange messages with other consumers in the community and make your opinions. This will help you in making your own shopping decisions.
update:Well I've also joined the international ciao.com site to get paid actually, as I am not the one who would love to make no money for my hard work. I know that it has no surveys to offer, just product reviews, but in the interest of the Experiment I cannot have fun on sites which can't pay me.

The College Kid's Quest for Cool Cash Online kick started on the 4th of August 2008 and we had many ups and downs in our journey. Its nearly a month over. Today being the first of September, I thought that I should sum up a month's journey an break the numbers for you.
We started with a zero and now at the end of the month when I look back I can say that we have achieved many things in the past month. This is what we have gained from the Blogosphere at large....
*Great help from like minded bloggers
*Good comments from readers.
*Great ideas from the readers of this blog.
*A few dollars added to the experiment.
*Decent traffic obtained-over 200 visitors.
*A new attitude overall.
*Less sleep, too many posts and new pals!!
Technorati:
I don't know why but only a few bloggers bother about the Technorati rankings. Our journey is from position no.4567345 to position no.4,591,694 which is not a total failure, but a few adds to technorati favorites and a few link exchanges can may be rise our rank.
Income:
Since it was our first month, we were too much on the backfoot as far as income is concerned. It was because we needed traffic and we were finding the traffic sources and other stuff like researching on SEO, etc. However there were a few dollars in the kitty from the Experiment. This is the summary of our earnings for the month of August.
Sources:
Active:
Myhpf
Mylot
Bux.to(I am not doing it anymore)
Passive:
Google Adsense
Earnings:
Myhpf $4.80
Mylot $0-63
Google Adsense $0-38
It makes roughly about $5.81. Remember I give just a half hour for my online endeavours as I am a student. So this could have been more if more efforts were put in.
At the start of the experiment, I used to think that google adsense would be best earner for me, but sometimes even the best blog earners slip under the radar. One reason for Google adsense income not being the best because I don't get Average joe visitors but my visitors are more Tech savvy and I think they know what they are looking for so they don't click the ads.
Well September is gonna be even better with newer income sources. I may take surveys, write some reviews for companies for cash and my focus will be accumulate a lot of cash in September. Since our goal is to make a Thousand dollars this year, I think we are on the right track. I encourage my readers to help me with more income sources both passive and active.
Thats it for today, see you in September. Till then ta-da...
