My Advertising Pays - Why I Quit, The Shocking Truth!
If youve seen my previous posts, youll remember what I was going to do with My Advertising Pays.
Well I quit! Well, what I really mean is I quit building up my account for the month of December! As you know I had this big dilemma about whether to continue re-purchasing, above 950 Packs, or maintain that level and withdraw money at the end of the month.
So I finally decided that as we are moving house, the extra money would come in handy, and it also reinforces the, "Proof, progress, results", mantra that some on-line marketers like to use.
So as of the 1st December I have been maintaining 945 Credit Packs (and slightly more occasionally).
What has this achieved ?
Well, from 00.01am (UK time) on the 1st December, to midnight of the 3rd December my profit (whilst maintaining those packs) was $510 !
So thats an average of around $160+ earnings per day, which would equate to approximately $4800 per month,
OR
for anyone in the UK = £3500 per month!
Remember this is real, not just figures on a screen.
These are earnings that I can withdraw, no matter what nonsense you may read in some unscrupulous sites on the net.
Of course these results are not typical, and it has taken me personally 18 months to get to this point.
Some may get to the same point and higher quicker, for others, the journey may be slower.

First off, if you arrived at this blog via a search engine check out my cashcrate proof of payment for $476.55. If you are a teen and are looking for a ways to make legit money online than this is the site for you. Okay, so today I thought I would answer a couple questions I have been receiving from teens lately about CashCrate and ways to make money online. 1.) I have been scammed before, what makes cashcrate so different? Before I joined CashCrate I was just like you. The thing about CashCrate though, is that they actually do pay. I am only 17 years old, yet I have made over $2500 with them in the past year. CashCrate is a great way to earn some extra money when you dont have a lot of time or money to work. 2.) How long should I expect to work if I want to make a lot of money? That answer depends. If you have some miracle system that will generate you a lot of referrals then all power to you. But for the rest of us, you can expect to work a couple hours each week if you are just completing offers. However, if you want to make the big bucks then you have to spend a lot of time writing articles, submitting them to article directories and just spending time on search engine optimization for your blog/website. 3. I made a blog but I have not gotten any referrals out of it, how come? This answer is simple. You either picked a bad keyword or you have not spent enough time getting quality backlinks. Believe me, it usually takes about 3 months before you start receiving any good traffic to your website from search engines. Just dont be a lazy teenager and youll be fine. 4. Am I going to receive any junk mail from paid online survey sites? Yes you will. Thats why I made a junk email when I was completing offers. If you use your real email address than your inbox will be flooded with promotional offers. You will also receive the occasional letter to your house, but those are generally few and far between. 5. How old do I have to be to join paid online survey sites? Most online survey sites require that you must be 18 years old to join them. However at CashCrate you only have to be 13 and that is why it is perfect for teens looking to make money online. 6. Is there a better way to make money online as a teen? Im sure there is, but they are probably scams. One site that I know isnt a scam is CashCrate. They have over 1.5 million members and have paid out millions of dollars to their members. If you have any other questions about paid online survey sites and make money online as a teen just leave a comment and Ill answer it.
Would You Like More Free Time? Why Not Earn Online...?
If youve read my posts before, youll know I struggled to make any real money online in the past. Until, my friend, and sponsor, introduced me to
MyAdvertisingPays in 2014.
Its now 2016, and Im very close to earning like never before. In fact, even with the withdrawals I have made from MAP, I am already in a position to earn more than my normal job!
The time has flown by, yet back then it seemed like a distant dream.
But I stuck with it, I even withdrew money to prove to myself and others that this really works.
I stopped working overtime, a thing I was desperate to do.
People now ask me why I dont do it anymore, yet despite their curiosity, they still carry on in the same old rut.
Yeah, I still do the normal job, but I dont stress about it anymore.
I still have all day (I work nights) and weekends to myself, whereas some folks at work, seemed resigned even to working weekends, including saturday nights!
Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your account increase while you do something as simple as say, just walking the dog!
You may also know that we moved house recently, and there is a shed load of work to be done, including an extension to the back. All this is part of the "master plan" for the future.
2016 is looking great!
New house, less work, more money and a plan to have more free time.
BUT, its not just about me. Every one can do this, and tap into the revenue created in the online advertising market.
Of course, you have to use some money to get started. How are you going to join/start any business without it?
The beauty is, you can start with as little or as much as you feel you can afford.
Remember, as soon as you have one or more active credit packs, you WILL start earning.
And remember, this will happen every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day (as long as you have clicked and viewed at least 10 ads in the Traffic Exchange).
So, in effect this happens wherever you are, whatever youre doing.
You could be on holiday, walking the dog or sat on your couch.
More free time for you. More money.
I hope to be on 1200 Active Credit Packs within the next couple of months.
I have no idea how this will effect my life, but it can only be for the better.
Hi guys, just a quick post now that the World Cup has finished.
You know it struck me just how easy it is to make money with M.A.P.s as Germany lifted the trophy. There was my M.A.P.s account making money whilst I was watching the football!
Not only is it easier than Germany winning the World Cup. Its easier than actually going to work. Its easier than going to work and doing all that overtime.
Its easier than going to work, doing all that overtime and trying to save what little you get.
In fact its easier than playing Fifa on the Xbox!
All you need is to register with My Advertising Pays here:
Get yourself some Credit Packs (See Step by Step guide on how).
Then, all you need is 5 minutes of your time (leaving plenty to get back to the Xbox if you want!)
to click on ONLY10 ads ONCE per day.
Then watch your money grow every 20 minutes.
This will open your eyes if youve tried, and failed to make any money online before!
If you have been reading my posts you may have noticed that I always refer to CashCrate when talking about paid online survey sites. There are many reasons for that and I will briefly explain why it is such a great way for teens to make money online. CashCrate is simply the best when it comes to paid online survey sites. They are free to join, have hundreds of offers (free and trials) being updated daily, and also have a low payout. Not to mention the fact that you only have to be 13 years or older to join which is perfect for teens. It is hard to find sites that allow 13 year old kids to participate on them, which is why CashCrate is so special. Teens everywhere are always looking for ways to make money online, but are usually unable to find a program that is right for them. I spent months looking for a great way to earn some money online until I tried out CC. Now it is the only site I use for making money on the web. I have been receiving big checks from CashCrate for a year now. Don’t believe me? Check out my $200.13 CashCrate proof of payment. Other sites that I am a member of don’t pay nearly the amount that cc does. In fact, in their first month alone back in 2006 they paid over $30,000 to their members. Imagine how much they are paying today with over 1.5 million members. If you want to start making the big bucks on CashCrate I suggest that you check out my post, blogging is the key to getting referrals. In all honesty referrals on CashCrate can make you thousands of dollars on CashCrate….a month! Here is a contest back in May 2009 that shows you how many referrals one member got in a month. 900 referrals translates to about $2000+, which I can imagine would be more than enough for most of you teens. No other paid online survey system even comes close to allowing you to make that much in a single month, which is another reason why cc is is the best. Just recently a feaure called CashCrate pro was added to CashCrate. It allows you to make several different referral links, and monitor conversions rates and clicks for each link. Do you think that any other program on the internet has this feature? hahaha no. This allows you to see how well each one of your blogs, ads, etc. are performing and is an excellent way to make more money off of your referrals. You are able to receive your payments from cashcrate in the form of check or direct deposit. Paypal is not available because of fraud in the past which is a bummer. All in all if you are looking for a way to make money online then CashCrate is by far my number one choice. It has a low payment, low age to join, awesome features, ridiculous referral program and much much more. If you want to maximize your earnings I suggest you read all of my posts and not to mention, get to work!
YouTube has established itself as one of the most popular websites in the world since its introduction in 2005. Ranking in at number 3 according to the Alexa Top 500 Global Sites, YouTube receives millions of unique visitors every single day. People watch a staggering 2 billion videos each day and according to YouTube, 24 hours of video is uploaded to the video website every minute. These statistics are absolutely incredible and YouTube has limitless potential in terms of generating traffic to your website or blog.
YouTube is no longer used by kids who are solely looking to watch a funny cat video or various sports highlights. It now serves as a great resource filled with thousands of hours of informational videos. YouTube not only functions as an amazing way to generate ad revenue from people directly watching your videos, but also as a great way to generate traffic to your blog or website. Here are 5 helpful hints to use when you are looking to use YouTube to drive traffic to your blog or website.
1.) Create a High Quality Video
Possibly the most important step in using YouTube to drive traffic to your blog is to create a great video. You don’t need a high budget to create a great video, rather a plan of action, knowledge on your topic and some sort of video editing software. Examples of different kinds or effective videos are DIY (do it yourself) or top 10 list videos. These will encourage people to not only click on your video, but also watch the video in its entirety. Nothing is worse than having someone click on your video only to exit out after 10 seconds due to boredom.
2.) Link in the Video Description
This one seems pretty obvious, but I see people forget to add their URL in their video description more often than not. If you make a popular video, why miss out on potential targeted traffic by forgetting to add a silly thing like your website’s URL? Make sure you add it to the beginning of the video description as it will be the first thing that stands out to the viewer. Also make sure you include some information on your video and be descriptive. You want to make sure you do this, because the more YouTube knows about your video, the more confidently it can rank it for a specific keyword.
3.) Get Traffic to Your Video
If you spend hours in creating an informational video only to receive no traffic to it, you’ll be pretty disappointed in your efforts. Unless you already have a solid subscriber base, you will need to promote your video in order to get some traffic to it. Just like search engine optimization for a website, you can use the same methods to promote your video. This includes adding good tags and keywords to your video description, posting it to social sites like Facebook/Twitter/Google+/etc, or sending your new video out to a mailing list. You can also post your video, granted it is helpful, to online communities like LinkedIn or Ouora. Getting targeted traffic from online communities will also help your video and ultimately your website rank better on search engines. If you can generate solid traffic to your well-made video and then tell viewers to click on your link to your website, more often than not they will. This leads us to our next tip.
4.) Tell Them to Click Your Link!
What’s the point of creating a video, putting your link in the description and then not taking the time to tell the viewers that you want them to view your website? Put emphasis on the fact that there is a link to your website in the description and you want them to click on it. If you can create a high-quality, informational video that people want to watch, chances are that your website contains a ton more material that the viewer may be looking for. You can also encourage your viewers to like and subscribe to your video and channel so they will be informed when you come out with additional videos in the future.
5.) Put Your Website URL in Your Actual Video
When using simple video editing software, you should always put your websites URL into the actual video if your main goal is to generate traffic. You should remember that often times videos are shared and embedded onto different websites. This means that your link is being shared and viewed all over the internet and not just on YouTube. Maybe add it as a watermark in the corner of the video, so as not to obstruct the viewers view, but so that they know that it is there. This will also help prevent others from stealing your video and taking credit for it.
There you have it. Make sure you apply all 5 ideas from above when using YouTube to generate traffic to your blog. As a teen it can seen overwhelming when trying to get traffic to your blog, yet these simple, yet effective tips can work wonders for you and your website and help you produce more traffic then you have ever received before creating YouTube videos.
Since Ive started to make money with my advertising pays, Ive noticed a lot of comments, positive and negative, in Facebook groups, the MLM, Work from Home, Internet Business ones, etc, etc.
And, although I am no internet marketer, I would like to get some referrals in M.A.P.s to build a bigger team, just as my sponsor "Bill" is doing with myself and others.
But I often see the quote, "No start up fees", followed by comments that you have to work so hard for very little gain. (I dont know by the way, its just what I see).
On the other hand, a lot of people looking for an opportunity to make money, extra money or even "LOADS OF MONEY!", dont seem prepared to pay out any start up costs. They always look for a negative as to why should they pay any money out in case it, "all goes wrong".
On the one hand, that is a fairly valid point.
On the other hand, I Iost £3000 in perfectly legitimate, FSA protected ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts - a UK thing). Also, any business has start up costs, that you may, or may not recoup. This all depends on you, hard work, maybe some luck and the will to see it through.
You cant become a white van man without buying the white van first!
And so it is that in any business there is an element of the, "Speculate to accumulate", approach. This is why My Advertising Pays members see through this and realise you have to make your money work for you. Youre going to have to put something in, to get something out.
And its fair to say that because of this, M.A.P.s members maybe work (I use the term loosley), harder to make sure they get results, even if they are not actively seeking referrals or doing any advertising themselves. There is no such thing as free lunch!
If any of this sounds like common sense and yous like to know more, or get involved
then take action now, however small it is. It may take longer to but youll get there in the end, just the same!
Continuing from yesterdays post featuring Ton Robbins, speaking about how and why some people say theyre going to to do "something", but never follow through.
It was in the video that I heard the phrase,
"To be skeptical is to be gutless. It takes no guts to be skeptical. You dont have to have any capacity of knowledge to be a critic. It takes GUTS to believe. And if you think someone or something is going to do it for you without you putting your guts on the line, you might as well never even try. Its your fear talking. Fear of being disappointed. Your biggest disappointments will lead to your biggest appointments in your life if you get rid of the fear and believe".
Theres probably more than a hint of truth in that saying. A lot of times when youre trying to show possible new leads, how they can make money with my advertising pays, they often sit on the fence and make excuses.
Despite ALL the results and evidence that clearly proves this could be a life changing moment!
How many sceptics, will gladly throw their money away in the pub, at the bookmakers, on an average fast food/take away meal with the kids?
Or even like myself, (not so) gladly, trust my money to the men in suits to invest my money wisely in stocks, shares and ISAs , only for them to loose it!
Another old saying is, "Its better to have tried and failed, than never tried at all."
In one of the most interesting run-ups to a Republican Presidential Nomination Election in recent history, multi-billionaire property magnate Donald Trump has emerged as an unexpected leader for many in the party.
Trumps initial announcement that he was running for President was trivialised by most commentators, as a publicity stunt by a man seeking to simply push further his name brand into the public spotlight. His failed 2012 campaign had also done little to convince anyone that Trump had the capacity to sustain a strong campaign to gain Republican nomination.
However, The Donald has surprised his doubters so far and currently stands head and shoulders above his Republican competitors in the polls. According to Newsweek, he is almost two times more popular among Republicans than his closest competitor, Jeb Bush, with a stunning 32% approval rating.
So, why is Trump doing so well in this election, when he failed miserably in the last? From his first step on the escalator down to his announcement speech, to his challenging the Pope in a recent interview with CNN, heres a look at 4 reasons why The Donald is coming up trumps in 2015.
1) He doesnt give a damn about PC, or general manners whatsoever.
To some, Donald Trump is a self-made business visionary to some, and to others a bombastic example of the evils of capitalism- but what is pretty much certain is that he is a bold, often divisive personality who is rarely afraid to say what is on his mind.
Some truly hilarious moments have emerged out of Trumps campaign as a result of his apparent lack of limits in what he says and does. Whether its giving out fellow Republican Lindsey Grahams personal number out during a speech, saying that he likes "people that werent captured" when John McCains time as a POW was being applauded by the public, or claiming that a female interviewer was on a period because she was asking him difficult questions, Trumps often wacky remarks have ensured him the public spotlight in recent months.
But there is a more serious side to Trumps lack of restraint (and views in general). Certain statements of his, notably his claim that immigrants from Mexico are mostly rapists and criminals ("some, I assume, are good people" he brazenly claims), suggest a darker side to Trump that did turn off a large proportion of the population- but at the same time must have had the opposite effect on others.
2) Hes rich.
Multi-millionaire 2012 Republican Candidate Mitt Romney became noted for his attempts to hide his wealth in the run up to the election, trying to shake off the Corporate Republican image that turned many voters off. Donald Trump, on the other hand, couldnt care less about showing that he is a man of the people- indeed, he believes his position high up in the economic ladder puts him in a perfect place to be President, and hes not afraid to show off the fact.
"Im proud of my net worth. Ive done an amazing job," announced Trump in his announcement speech, before revealing his supposed net worth of almost nine billion dollars.
The man is clearly unafraid to show off his wealth, and this works on many voters. Not only does it boost his image as a successful businessman (despite his numerous bankruptcies in the 1980s), thus reinforcing his claims to become the "greatest jobs president God ever created", but it creates an aura of aspiration, the American Dream, around Trump. Some people see Trump as a man who has succeeded in life, by achieving The Dream and becoming extremely wealthy, and these people take this to be a sign that he will be a similarly successful president.
Not only is his vast wealth helpful in this sense, but it proves a necessary boost in a political system in which money is king, for anyone who wishes to partake in it. For Trump, it seems his own money has come very handy indeed- during the second quarter of 2015, Trumps campaign raised $1.9m. Of this money, Trump had donated $1.8m. Yes, thats right. Just 1/19th of Trumps campaign donations came from people other than himself. More recently, Trump has announced that he would be willing to spend up to $1bn in his campaign to become President.
3) Hes a celebrity.
Donald Trump really likes his name.
Donald Trump is not just a person, but he is really a brand; as anyone who has visited his flagship Trump Tower knows, his name and image is a massive part of who he is (of course, as well as his money). Trump T-Shirts, Trump Teddy Bears, Trump Mugs- you can find an abundance of Trump goods in his New York skyscraper.
The man has also hosted the popular but also Celebrity Apprentice on NBC, and was the owner of the Miss Universe vanity competition.
Compare this with Trumps competitors. Before entering politics, Jeb Bush had positions in banking and oil companies and Rand Paul was a doctor. Marco Rubio has basically always been in politics. Trumps career is by far the most glamorous, something that by default is likely to win him some voters. People who liked him from The Apprentice, for example, are by far more likely to vote for him rather than his competitors.
Trump has for a long time worked in the television industry, one that relies almost entirely on approval, popularity. Therefore, he is likely to know what sells in the arguably similar political arena. His divisive comments may mean that the audience he attracts is not always going to be the same, but his audience may see a shift rather than a shrinking.
4) His policies are popular among Conservatives.
In a way (other than just his hair), Donald Trump reminds me a little of Boris Johnson. Behind all the buffoonery and show, there is a functioning Conservative mind that is proposing policies that do actually appeal to those on the right as much as they infuriate the left.
One of the things that really puts Trump on the map in the Republican Party is his stance on immigration, for example. This is clearly something he wants at the forefront of his campaign; as he stated in his announcement speech, he would "build a great, great wall" on the southern border between the USA and Mexico, to supposedly end the illegal immigration issue.
Putting aside the logic of his proposal beside (he claims he will build it "inexpensively", yet he will "have the Mexicans pay for that wall"- so whats the point of making it cheaply?), this solid anti-immigration approach has great appeal on the Conservative side.
His economic policies are also textbook Republican- push for lower taxes and less regulation on businesses.
And of course, a Republican candidate is incomplete until they make the typical announcement to put their mark on the Middle East- "Nobody will be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump", according to the man himself.
With such issues in which there is a danger of anti-immigration proponents being branded politically incorrect, Mike Adams from Natural News comes to an interesting conclusion- that Trump is so popular because he is "the surrogate mouthpiece for the things most Americans deeply believe (but are too afraid to say)". While I am not so sure whether most Americans agree with him, it seems apparent that there are many in the USA who are in such a position.
But in being so honest and bold in his Conservative statements, Trump is running a dangerous risk of alienating even his supporters- his feud with his previous supporter Bill O Reilly, who now warns Trump will turn the Republican Party into one of racist brutalisers, suggests that Trump may be about to fall off his peak.

Welcome back. Here in the second instalment of the debate on Pennies, we shall look at a selection of the arguments against the penny and for its abolition.
1) Value for Money Many pro-pennyists counter-argue the idea that pennies are bad value for money for the government with the claim that, while pennies may well be financially inefficient, this doesnt mean their abolition will improve the financial efficiency of the Mint- in fact it may worsen it. They argue that should the penny be abolished, demand will rise for the next lowest coin- the silver nickel, worth 5 cents, which actually loses more money per coin than the penny. So, the argument goes, more investment will have to go into a bigger loss-making product should the coin be abolished.
With the cost of producing a nickel at 7.7 cents, and that of a penny at 1.26, this is theoretically true. Take the cost of making one dollar with either coin- it would cost (7.7*20) 154 cents to create a dollar with nickels, but just (1.26*100) 126 cents to do so with pennies. A 28 cent difference, quite decent proof that the penny is more cost-effective to produce. But this hits a snag- these figures are correct, but as of 2008. Seven years ago.
Today, the tables have figuratively turned. As of late 2014, a Nickel costs 8.1 cents to produce (a 3.1 cent loss), whereas a penny costs 1.7 cents to produce (a 0.7 cent loss). This may not seem to be a game-changing difference from 2008, but it makes all the difference. Today, making 1 dollars worth of nickels costs 162 cents. Making the same from pennies costs 170 cents. The prices of the two have crossed, to the point at which nickels are now more cost-effective than pennies- rendering the pennies causing greater financial inefficiency. 2) Productivity Just as the potential rounding tax could have tiny but compounding impacts upon the spending of consumers, there already exists a tiny but recurrent way in which we lose because of pennies- not in terms of money, but time. Whether its spending time rummaging in our pockets for a few remaining pennies, or waiting to receive them as change, it wastes time- not in the short term, but the seconds add up and become minutes, minutes, over the course of a year or two, hours. Hours that can be spent being more productive, whether its a store employee gaining more time to perform other duties or the customer having more time to spend in town and buy other stuff.
Its difficult to imagine seconds making such a difference, but added up in the long term, they can. Economist Robert Whaples quantifies the losses that the penny can cause. Using the average American wage of $17 an hour, he evaluates every two seconds of the average Americans work time to be worth a cent, and thereon estimates that time lost due to the complications brought on by pennies can cost around $300m per year to the US Economy.
Whaples proposes that rounded sale prices would help improve productivity of the economy as a whole, not by giving one significant boost but by trimming the excesses, the little seconds of time wasted because of the business of handling pennies.
3) Are they Useful? Have a look at this menu here. The price of a full dinner with multiple courses, at just 25 cents, is one that you might think is ridiculous, but that was how things were in 1900, the year this American bistro menu comes from.
Go forward to 1931, and food was still ridiculously cheap in comparison to the modern day. A penny could buy you an egg, or a pound of flour.
Today? Well, if you can find anything that I could buy with a penny in any store today Ill give you one (not that youd probably appreciate it). The fact is that pennies were not always the lowest valued coin- until 1857 you could get a half-cent, and currencies throughout the world have seen smaller denominations than a penny (think, for example, the British shilling). But over time, they have been taken out of circulation, for a number of reasons, but primarily because of inflation. Rising prices nullify the value of all denominations of money- and at one point we must re-evaluate whether any certain coin is necessary. We have very little use for pennies- so why should we carry on keeping them in circulation?
Economist Greg Mankiw summarises it effectively, stating "the purpose of the monetary system is to facilitate exchange... the penny no longer serves that purpose."
