I'm pretty sure this isn't how it's supposed to work.
I'm trying to give to charity whenever I can. Ten percent of what I have at any given time, plus all my loose change, I have been giving to good causes.
Instead of increasing my good fortune so that I can give more of myself, Fate is snatching away all of my possibilities, so that the charities are actually coming out ahead and I'm the one in the hole.
I want to sob at the unfairness of it all, but instead I'm going to keep plugging away at it, because, if nothing else, the charities ARE actually coming out ahead.
I'm hoping to put a few extra pennies into my Paypal account (and thence transfer them to my bank account) to avoid future overdrafts caused by being short by one lousy dollar due to having made a donation at the minimum amount permitted by the charitable organization in question. Yes, this happened; thanks so much, the Universe.
To that end, I have found a couple of pay-to-click sites. One is called Adbux, the other is GOT-2-PAY. They appear to work via the same means as Blog Explosion, except that, instead of visiting other people's blogs for at least thirty seconds, one must visit ads. Also unlike Blog Explosion, Adbux and GOT-2-PAY pay in pennies, literally.
Pennies are not great, but are accepted by charitable organizations. Blog Explosion credits, not so much.
This explains the respective referral programs for both sites pretty well, but is hooked specifically from the Adbux website:
At AdBux, you get paid to click on ads and visit websites. The process is easy! You simply click a link and view a website for 30 seconds to earn money. You can earn even more by referring friends. You'll get paid $0.01 for each website you personally view and $0.01 for each website your referrals view. Payment requests can be made every day and are processed through PayPal. The minimum payout is $10.00.
Earnings Example
- You click 10 ads per day = $0.10!
- 10 referrals click 10 ads per day = $1.00!
- Your weekly earnings = $7.70!
- Your monthly earnings = $30.80!
The above example is based only on 10 referrals and 10 daily clicks. Some days you will have more clicks available, some days you will have less. What if you had more referrals? What if there were more ads available?
The GOT-2-PAY one is essentially the same except that it's I think about 3¢ per click.
Obviously, I'm going to ask you to please register under my referrals.
I hope this works.
I hope something works.
I'm beginning to be very frustrated with all of my efforts at being positive, cheerful, and giving being rewarded by everyone and everything else being negative, critical, and selfish at my expense. It's the sort of thing that makes it a little difficult to Find My Happy Place.
