ClixSense is a pretty decent site. I really like the stats they provide for you (such as Transaction history and being able to break it down by your own activity and your referrals activity, plus lots of other interesting info). Here's a summary of the site:
Complete the Daily Checklist Bonus. The minimum you have to do is:
- 2 ads a day (6-50 seconds)
- 15 clicks on ClixGrid (150 seconds)
- Visit a page on the forum (1 second)
- 10 Tasks OR 2 Offers (Or a combination of 1 Offer and 5 Tasks)
It doesn't take all that long and you get a bonus for completing the Daily Checklist. The bonus amount is based on how much you've earned that day; 5% of that for standard, 12% for Premium (I'll explain Premium later). Completing the Daily Checklist is not a requirement, it's just another way to earn a bit extra with the bonus.
The ads run anywhere from 3 seconds to 30 seconds. The process to watch an ad is interesting. Well, the interesting part is the CAPTCHA. There are 5 pictures, 4 of which are dogs and one is a cat. Find and Click on the cat to start the timer running. When I first started, I didn't click on the ads much (except for the 2 needed to complete the Daily Checklist) because they generally didn't pay much (a penny or less per ad). However, I discovered that often when I was talking on the phone to someone boring, rather than play Solitaire like I used to do, I started clicking the ads. Might as well earn some money at the same time.
The ClixGrid can be fun. There's a grid with a scenic picture on it. Click on a square on the grid and watch the ad that comes up (for 10 seconds standard, 5 seconds Premium) and you either win or you don't. I've won 10 cents 3 times, but you can win up to $5. Close that ad and you get a new pretty picture to click on. The pictures are really nice and you can even download them if you want to. Someone on reddit.com/r/beermoney/ referred to it as "scenery porn", an amusing description.
Between the offers or the tasks, the offers pay better and the Daily Surveys are generally the best ones to do (I've had problems sometimes with the others ... not always, but sometimes I don't get credit for completing them).
Payouts
Payouts are done twice a week, on Monday and Friday. Minimum payout is $8 for standard $6 for Premium. These payments are via PayPal, Payza or Liberty Reserve (and also via checks, but checks are only paid once a month).Referrals
As always, referrals are what help bring in the money for you! I have 21 referrals (only 10 are currently active), which have brought in almost $20 since the beginning of December. Now, that doesn't sound really great, but let me mention the Premium account now and you'll see how it gets better fast.The Premium account costs $17/year and here are some of the benefits you get:
- Referral signup commissions
- Higher direct referral click commissions
- More chances to win in ClixGrid
- More ads available
- 8-Tier Affiliate Program (you get paid through 8-tiers for referrals who also upgrade their accounts)
You don't have to spend your own money to upgrade to a Premium account, you can use your existing winnings (rather than cashing out). If you're a little short but don't want to wait any longer, you can pay the difference from your PayPal account. My first month with Premium was in February and I made almost $3 more than I had made in January, with one less referral transaction. In March, I got $4.16 just from my referrals! And, yeah, I did get my $17 back pretty quickly ... as of today, my referrals have earned me (since I upgraded to Premium) $17.04. So, there you have it ... Premium is definitely worth investing in, I got the $17 back in 4 months. The rest of the year is gravy!
Please give ClixSense a try! And don't forget to try the Premium account, once you've decided you like ClixSense!
