You Will Not Get Rich From This Blog

I threw out a little blurp at the end of last Sundays post about Paid the Fastest. I promised to write a bit more when I cashed out.

Just to prove that I am a man of my word ( although slightly behind in my promises )… lets get to my first couple weeks with “Paid the Fastest“. Actually a little less than two weeks.

Right off the bat, lets establish that I haven’t joined a new “Get Paid To / Incentivized” site in years. I’ve been perfectly happy with Treasure Trooper and Cash Crate. Since I’m not one to complete offers or sign up for stuff, unless I’m interested, I really wasn’t looking for anything new.

So what drew me to Paid the Fastest? Fist off, my buddy Bret ( coach ) insisted that I joined. I ignored him for a couple days and then took a look. Since I’m all for adding a bit of extra funds to my PayPal account and increasing my daily earnings, I was drawn to the “Daily Click Offers” that didn’t require me to enter my email, buy anything, sign up for anything and the such. Just a couple clicks and, bingo.. a few more cents added to my account balance. Oh and the instant ( and daily ) PayPal payments peaked my curiosity as well.

Of course, I wanted to test out the referral part and see what damage I could do. So I combined a couple cash outs from NeoBux ( $40 ) with converting my current ClixSense earnings ( $8 ), made this quick splash page, and got a couple ads up on ClixSense. Picked up around 60 referrals the first week, and then just reinvested back into a couple more ads on ClixSense every other day. I now stand at 113 referrals and about $3.00 more a day from referrals in less than two weeks.

My first payment took less than twenty hours as a “NV = Not Verified” member. Every payment after that has been instant! ….Awesome!~

Another really cool feature is “Spin the Wheel”. You earn points when you have active referrals. Four points when each referral completes there first offer. You then have the option of redeeming any points earned for Spins, Amazon or EBay Giftcards or Level upgrades. I’ve been choosing the “Spins”. We are allowed to spin the wheel five times a day and since I’m actively promoting, earning those points hasn’t been a problem. Just so you know, the average win is fifteen cents. At five spins a day I’ve been picking up an additional $0.60 to $1.25 a day.

Paid the Fastest Spin the Wheel Wins

I did complete a couple additional offers; Home depot newsletter and World winner ( because i wanted to waste some time playing Zombies vs Plants ). I pretty much suck at “Zombies vs Plants”, which is probably a good thing since I really don’t need to be playing games anyways. The Home Depot offer was an easy choice for me since I shop there and a couple extra emails in my inbox might actually be welcome. So, not a problem.

So in conclusion, Paid the Fastest is pretty darn swell. Just remember that this is a Get Paid To… site and most offers you complete for money gives another party free reign of your email inbox ( is it really SPAM if you asked for it? ). The “Daily Click Offers” are the exception, and I’m sure there are a few other exceptions as well. My recommendation and something I always encourage; Just stick with completing and joining offers and things that you are interested in. You do what you want ( I’ll enjoy the extra 20% commission ), but at the very least add a few more cents a day to your daily earnings via the “Daily Click Offers”.

A quick tip when using Get paid to and incentivized type sites. Make sure you clear out your cookies at least once a day or more. You only need to do this once with the “Daily Click Offers”, but you want to make it a habit of deleting cookies ( history and stuff ) between the other offers.

I’m going to promote the hell out of Paid the Fastest for awhile. Something about Daily Payouts gets me feeling all warm and mushy inside. The first thing I’m going to do is put together a better and more bad ass ( even more responsive ) capture page. Since I finished this post tonight ( 4/27 ), I’ll have the time to put it together tomorrow.

Did I say Good Night yet?

Good Night.

oops, almost forgot to give Eddy a plug. His article Is Home Job Placement a Scam?, is a must read. Oh and if you pay attention and read carefully, you’ll notice that Eddy is developing a bit of a sense of humor.

A few of you know that I’ve been working on a new website. I’ve only shared it with a couple people, and although I’m still working on it, I thought I’d give you guys a sneak peek.

Almost Smoking . Com

I’m really taking my time with it and have a few posts partially written. I decided I really don’t like the rotating picture of myself ( I’m much sexier in real life ), but I decided to keep it up for now because I really don’t feel that smoking should be glorified. So I’ll go for the tired unattractive look that shows the functionality of the product.

So yeah, a little known secret and something I’m ashamed of, is that I’m a smoker. Growing up in the ’80s, everyone smoked. Even my high school had a smoking section. You could smoke in most bars and restaurants, and cigarettes cost only $1 a pack.

I started smoking when I was twelve and I remember my mom teaching me how to inhale while sitting in a pizza hut one day ( thanks mom ). There were very few times in my life where I wasn’t around cigarette smoke… even before I was born. I quite for four months three years ago and felt amazing. A couple years before that I became a private smoker. I was very much into living a body building lifestyle and worked out six days a week. When your a solid 210 lbs, most people won’t say anything to you, but when they see you smoking, look out. The shit hits the fan and people become quite brave when expressing there disgust. “oh my god! Your such a hypocrite!” One of the reasons I never became a personal trainer.

Anyways… I knew I wanted to create a website / blog focused on electronic cigarettes and smoking alternatives. I just didn’t want to pimp a product that I didn’t have personal experience with, just to make a commission. I also need to quite smoking. So I started purchasing from different companies that had affiliate programs. I’ve also purchased parts and accessories from companies without affiliate programs. So to be fair, I’ll be writing about them as well.

The only company on Almost Smoking.Com that I haven’t ordered from yet is Green Smoke. I decided to prematurely add a banner because I haven’t heard anything really bad about the company, plus they have a killer affiliate program. So I’ll look forward to purchasing and reviewing the Green Smoke product soon.

Like I said above, this is a sneak peek for you guys. I have a lot of work to do, but I couldn’t hold off any longer and just had to share. I won’t be promoting Almost Smoking just yet, still have a few more things I want to add. Then it’ll be all about reviews, me being me, and maintaining an honest and profitable site. I’m fighting the urge to have sponsored advertising or at least sell ad space, so it’s possible that you could see something in the sidebar that says “put your ad here”. Just not anytime soon.

Big Love to Eddy for all the help, support and continued mentoring. “hell to the nah” buddy, “hell to the nah”

Happy Sunday everyone!!

I can’t believe my family is still asleep and it’s almost 9 AM. I figure I’ll give ‘em ten more minutes and then I’ll go jump on the bed.

So what’s on the agenda for today?

For me. Yard Work!! Gym, Grocery shopping ( just a few more items ), beat the kids, fold laundry, try to get caught up on emails and comment reply’s, and watch some of the Giants vs Dodgers game before work.

So why was it important for me to type all those things out for you to read? I mean, do you really care about what I’m doing today? Most importantly, have you typed or written your schedule for the day yet?

Sure we can sit at the computer all day, focused on making our millions, but real life still exists and laundry still needs to be folded. So make a daily list. Ten Minutes for this, one hour for that, then you get to watch the ball game on tv as your reward, and you’ll feel relaxed and happy because you stuck to your list. Ahhh the feeling of accomplishment.

Focusing on establishing a daily online schedule ( work smarter, not harder ), is something I’ve been really working on lately and is something I’ll be writing a lot about.

Have a great Sunday everyone. Make it fun and make it productive.

HA.. there! Ten minutes to write this. Time to go jump on the bed and wake the kids up.

Oh and a quick update.

LinkGrand. Love it Love it Love it. Just upgraded for the year. Ten dollars well spent.

Paid the Fastest. Just joined this one a couple days ago. Really liking the PTC section ( although slow ) and the daily two cent ads. I’ll write more later when I cash out.
