Marketing Pond: Use the Free Money Programs
The purpose of Marketing Pond is to make it easy to find reliable free money programs. In this section I’ll talk about using the programs, and some of the things that might not be immediately obvious about each program.
One general tip for all the programs. Know what the minimum payout is for each program. This is the amount of money you must have in their system before you can ask them to give you any of it. As soon as you get the minimum payout in a program, ask for your money.
I would also recommend that you signup for all the programs, but learn how to use each one at a time. The paid email programs will send you email after you sign up, so go ahead and get paid for those, but spend some quality time with each program learning how to best use it. Clix Sense is a great one to start with, because by the time you get ready to start promoting Marketing Pond, you’ll have enough earnings with them to reinvest in advertising through Clix Sense.
Note that in any of these programs, if the advertisement you are paid to read fails to load, you can still get paid for that click. Just let the timer expire, and you’ll get credit even if the advertiser’s web page never showed.
Click to earn programs
Click to earn programs are those where you get paid some amount of money for clicking on (and viewing) advertisements. The general approach for these is that you get credited after viewing an advertisement for some number of seconds (anywhere from 10 to 30, depending on the program). Since you cannot get credited by a single program for two links at the same time, it helps to be working more than one program at the same time. So while you’re waiting on, for example, a Clix Sense ad to credit you, you can also be clicking on a Dream Clix ad. You can use several programs at the same time to maximize your earnings.
