Work At Home Update: Clixsense Tasks
To my great delight there are lot of you who are making some decent money at Amazon Mechanical Turk. I know because of your comments and emails. So thanks for sharing that because it helps me know what is really working and popular with my visitors. If you don't know about Amazon Mechanical Turk, you need to check out my review so you can get your share of the money that so many of my other visitors are currently earning. Reading the review will also help you better appreciate the company I'm covering today.
More than clicking…
Some of you know Clixsense as a website that pays you for basically clicking on ads. Depending on your mindset you like the idea of earning a few cents for something you already do (viewing ads), or you feel it's a total waste of time. To each their own I say. But it seems like Clixsense wants to especially cater to the folks with the latter mentality by providing various higher paying activities.
So recently they've introduced a new way method to earn money which is completing small online tasks like the ones we discussed in the Amazon Mechanical Turk review. These tasks are like quick mini-jobs that take a few minutes to complete. You are paid per task instead of per hour like a traditional job. The tasks can range from simple data entry, internet research, tagging pictures and some other relatively easy web based task. They're available to anyone that is a member of Clixsense.
Just in case you're confused or you're like me and prefer to see how this all works, watch the video below. I start it off by showing you how you typically earn money with Clixsense just as an FYI and to tease you. But then I get into the task stuff. So be patient. In total the video is less than 8 minutes long anyway. Enjoy.
See the potential?
Well if you're an Amazon Mechanical Turk worker you're probably very excited about what you saw because of some of the nice advantages I highlighted in the video. And if you're new to the whole crowd sourcing task site stuff, you're probably very excited too. If so, just click here to sign up and get started!
Remember it's free and you don't have to upgrade to the premium membership. Although you probably will in the future. But right now, start off with the free membership and see how you like this opportunity. Doing these little tasks can really add up. Just read the comments in my Amazon Mechanical Turk article for confirmation of this.
Hopefully you see the value in this opportunity. It's something you can do while you're still searching for a higher paying traditional work at home job or while you're trying to build your business. Everyone has free time that they're probably wasting on TV, surfing the web, socializing on FB, etc.
So make better use of it today by taking advantage of Clixsense's Task opportunity!
I'd love to hear from you guys (especially folks that already work Mturk and love it.). Let me know if you like this opportunity and plan to take advantage of it. I hope you do. Good luck either way.

Hi All,
Hope you had a great week.
Congrats to those of you who have taken advantage of SuperPoints and are making money with it already! I see that many of you are really working it! Isn't nice to make some easy money, even if it's just a small amount?
I also want to give a shout out for those of you that are taking advantage of the Free Trial of Wealthy Affiliate Univierstiy. It's great opportunity if you want to learn how to create a website that makes money and people can actually find. And if you do have a website already, it's a great place to learn how to get more traffic and make more with it.
In any event, enjoy the online job leads below. Sorry we're a bit short this week. My virtual assistant Denise has been sick the last couple of days. So let's all pray for her speedy recovery because I know you guys appreciate the work she does in finding and listing these leads.

Work At Home Update: Wealthy Affiliate Is Free…
For Now! Okay so Wealthy Affiliate isn't going to be free forever! They're actually going to give you total access for FREE for 10 days starting May 1st, 2012. The offer is only good for a week. So if you join anytime from May 1st to the 8th, you'll get 10 days of full access to all of Wealthy Affiliate.
From what I understand all you need is a Facebook account to join. So if you have one then you're good to go. If not, you might want to get one to take advantage of this promotion. This is perfect if you wanted to get into affiliate marketing but don't know how to start. This is also great if you already have an existing site but want to step it up to the next level so you can get more traffic and make more money. Either way you'll benefit.
Just keep in mind that you're not going to build a successful affiliate marketing career or business in 10 days. However It will give you a taste of what you you'll learn if you're willing to invest in yourself and your dreams.
This promotion couldn't have come at a better time because so much has changed at Wealthy Affiliate. It seems like they really addressed all of the complaints I use to bitch and moan about in my old review which is pretty much out of date right now. I really should update it but at this point it may be better if I start from scratch because so much has improved and changed for the better. But knowing my lazy ass, I probably won't get to it anytime soon. LOL
That being the case, I decided to whip up a quick video instead. It quickly walks you through all the changes especially cons that Wealthy Affiliate addressed. So take a look although if you take advantage of the Free trial you'll be able to see these for yourselves instead of over my shoulders.
Well hopefully this has you excited and you're ready to give it a shot. After all it's free so what do you have to lose? If you want to take advantage of it, Click here to sign up! Enjoy ya'll!
Is SuperPoints.com ( SuperPoints ) A Scam?
As you know I'm always looking for new ways to make money online. I hate to admit it, but like many of you I do like finding methods that are EASY and don't require a lot of effort. If that's your mindset you'll probably enjoy the following company in this review. However before I get into it, please keep in mind opportunities that are relativity easy will NEVER pay you a full time salary or enough to cover all your bills. After all that's why they're easy. Websites and people claiming you can make ridiculous amount of money for simple tasks are basically just selling you a pipe dream. We all know what smoking that stuff can lead to!
The reality is that easy opportunities are really good for supplemental or extra money. This can be coupled with other income you may make with a traditional work at home job or business. This is the multiple streams of income philosophy that I preach constantly on this blog. But if you don't buy into this and can't appreciate earning money for something you already do without pay, then don't bother reading this article. Because it's definitely NOT for you. Everyone else you'll probably enjoy this as much as I do.
Now that we've established all this, let's get into today's company, SuperPoints.com
What is SuperPoints.com?
It's basically a website that pays you for using the internet. This company has a pretty good rating with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) if you're into that for validation and has been around since 2008.
You can earn rewards for reading emails, answering surveys, watching videos, trying various products, websites and services. But one of the EASIEST and unique ways of earning with SuperPoints is clicking on their SuperLucky Button a few times a day! Depending on your membership you get a certain number of clicks on that button per day. You randomly earn points for clicking the button. It's sort of like SwagBucks where you randomly earn Swag Bucks for searching on their site. If you're already sucking your teeth and cursing out the idea of damn points, please note points are equivalent to cash which we'll discuss later. So settle down…
Describing how this all works is alright but seeing it in action is a lot more powerful and useful. So you can watch the following video to see how all this works.
Pretty cool, huh? Ready to sign up? Click here! But be sure to confirm your email address otherwise you'll limit how much you'll earn with the company. I'll explain later in the sign up section of this review.
How are they able to pay me for using the web?
Who cares? LOL So you're probably thinking to yourself, this sounds too good to be true! After all, why would anyone pay us for things we already do online for free? Well like many of many of my favorite legitimate make money opportunities (SwagBucks, Irazoo, Fusion Cash, etc.) these websites make a lot of money displaying various ads on their site. They're usually paid a number ways for these ads.
For instance, they are paid a certain dollar amount for how many times an ad is viewed on their site. They can be paid every time a visitor clicks on an ad. Or they can even be paid if someone buys a product or service because of the ads. I suspect they're getting paid for all these activities. So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that with thousands of people visiting their website everyday, they're definitely producing a lot of income from these ads. Unlike Google or your favorite TV network they share this income with you via their point rewards system. This is a business model that has been around for years on the web and is totally sustainable because advertisers will always want visibility and visitors. So that's how they're paying you. Your visits and ad viewing makes them money that is shared with you!
What the heck are points? (I want real money!)
Well you already know I wouldn't waste my time or yours if money wasn't involved. Like MySurvey or Swagbucks, SuperPoints.com uses a reward system based on points. But fortunately the points can be redeemed for things we actually care about such as cash, gift cards and electronics. I've redeemed both a paypal payment and an amazon gift card.
Depending on your membership level it can take as little as 500 points to redeem your first cash payment or gift card reward. This may or may not change by the time you read this review.
When do I get my money?
Like many of these non-traditional opportunities, there is a threshold you have to reach before being able to redeem your points for cash, gift cards or other prizes. This threshold amount is based on your membership level with SuperPoints. Either way, once you've redeemed your points you'll usually get your reward within 7-10 days after your request. If you want the cash option, you'll need a Paypal account! So depending on how consistent you are (and other factors), you can conceivably get paid every week!
Here are some screenshots of my payments so you know I'm not bs'ing here: paypal payment and an amazon gift card
What's up with this membership stuff you keep yammering about?
You noticed that huh? First and foremost it's totally free to be a member of SuperPoints regardless of your membership level. So if that's where you were looking to find the catch, it's not happening captain. They've basically created this membership stuff to reward the folks that put in a little more effort than everyone else. That's usually how it works in life anyway, so it shouldn't come as a surprise here. You can see the membership level stuff in a nice little graph here.
If the graph wasn't enough, I'll make an attempt to better explain it here and why you should try to move up membership levels. (Just keep in mind some of this may change by the time you read this review.)
There are 4 membership levels.
None Level:
The first is none. I know, it's not a very sexy level and neither are the perks. At this level it means you just created an account but haven't confirmed your email address. At this level you won't get paid super points emails, you can only click on the super lucky button about 5 times per day which significantly decreases your likelihood of earning. And even if you do earn some points, you can't redeem them at this level until you move up. You don't want to stay at this level. It's basically useless.
Basic Level:
Next is the Basic level. You need to just confirm your email address which is clicking on a link sent to you via email. (Check your inbox or spam folder for this email.) Once you've done that, just fill in your basic profile (which can be accessed by clicking on your name located in the upper right hand corner of the super points website when you're logged in). The advantages of this membership is that you have more clicks (30 of them per day) on the super lucky button which means more chances to earn super points. You're also able to get occasional SuperPoint surveys which earn you even more super points. At this level to redeem your rewards you'll need at least 2500 points. (Again, this may vary by the time you read this.) Everyone should be able to reach this level with little effort.
The next two levels require just a little more effort but reward you well for it. But like all the levels they're optional so don't feel pressured to reach it. Although you will probably want to after reading about them.
Gold Level:
The 3rd membership level is Gold. You need to do everything you did in the Basic level but you must also fill in the advanced profile which gives SuperPoints more information about you. You must upload a valid profile picture and finally invite 2+ friends who move up to the Basic or higher membership level. For all this trouble you receive 50 clicks per day on that super lucky button. When your friends win on the SuperLucky Button you will win the same prize too! So if they win like 300 points from clicking that button so do you! When your friends takes a Super Points surveys and earns points, you earn the same amount of points. Redeeming your rewards only requires 1000 super points!
Platinum Level:
Finally is the Platinum membership. It's basically all the requirements and benefits of the Gold membership except you need at least 5+ friends that are at the Basic or higher membership. Some of the additional perks of being a Platinum member is that you get 100 clicks per day which obviously increases your chances of winning those random points. But in addition to increasing your chances of earning more, you're guaranteed to earn at least 1 point just for clicking on the button for that given day. That's an additional 30 points per month if you just click on the button every day for a month not including the random wins you'll probably get.
So that's the membership levels in a nutshell. Honestly it's pretty easy to reach the higher levels by having your family members and friends sign up using your referral link, confirm their email address and fill in their basic profile. Even if they aren't really active it just pushes you to the next levels which helps you earn more rewards on your own.
How much can I earn?
As we discussed earlier there are many ways to earn points (aka cash) with Super Points. A rule of thumb is the easier the activity is, the less you'll earn. For instance, they have an offer section where you can earn a lot of points for becoming a free member of netflix, downloading games, liking a Facebook fan page, tweeting, taking polls, or signing up for a certain product or service. Since this tends to involve more effort, personal information, etc., they reward you more. But it can be tricky. I suggest reading my Fusion Cash article on how to maximize doing offers without getting burned. The tips provided there apply to any site that pays you for trying offers. It can definitely be very profitable if you approach it the right way but it's not a requirement to earn with SuperPoints!
Points from activities like clicking on the super lucky button or reading an email can really vary. In most cases you'll earn a low amount of points like 1-10 points per winning activity. But there have been times I've earned 10 points for opening an email and 25 points for clicking the button once! I've read where some people earned 300 points for clicking on the super lucky button. So it super random and can really vary. I find that clicking the button a few times a day is easy and the points can really add up pretty quickly every day. So I tend to focus on clicking the button, watching videos, reading the emails and referring others. I'll do an occasional offer if it's really simple like watching a video and doesn't involve a lot of my time or personal information or if it's a well known company I wanted to try anyway.
Is this an international opportunity?
The site is open to members in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Unfortunately it's not open to folks outside these areas. Sorry I don't make the rules!
Do they have a referral program?
Uh…. yeah, why do you think I'm babbling on here? (LOL) Like most of my favorite supplemental income opportunities this company has a referral/affiliate program as well. You earn 25 points if you're referral signs up and becomes a basic member. If you're a Gold or Platinum member you also earn whatever your referral earns from clicking the super lucky button or via taking a survey. Having referrals will also give you a higher membership which means more opportunities to earn points and a lower payout threshold so you can redeem your rewards sooner. Please note some of these particular details may change by the time you read this review. Either way getting referrals is a good idea.
How do I get started?
So if you've heard enough and are ready to get started, just follow ALL of the simple steps below and you'll be good to go and can start earning today.
1. Click here to sign up! (It's free and quick!)
2. Fill out the short form with your REAL contact information.
3. Open your email inbox or spam folder and look for the following email and click on the confirmation link!
4. Sign in and click on the validate link at the top of the page. Fill in the basic profile information.
If you do all of that then you're ready to start with this company. By the way, if you want to increase how much you can earn, you should complete the advanced profile section located in step 4 as well. Ultimately you want your Profile completeness to be at 100% so you're not leaving any rewards on the table. But that's up to you.
Cons
So all of this sounds good in theory. But you already know how I do. I have to give you the ugly stuff too so you don't go into this blind. Now let me cover some of the bad points although there aren't many in my opinion.
1. Don't expect to quit your day job!
Obviously on your OWN you probably won't earn a full time living with this. It's really just a fun way to earn some additional supplemental income or prizes. I plan to use this to do my Christmas shopping. I figure by the end of the year I'll have enough points to do some serious damage. But I wouldn't really depend on this to pay my mortgage. That being said, if you're good at getting referrals it can actually be some decent consistent money. However that's usually not the case for most people. Despite that you can still earn with this opportunity with your own efforts.
2. Patience is a virtue…
A big complaint I hear is that it can take a while to redeem your first reward and thus not worth your time. Depending on your membership level it can be as long as a month to redeem your first reward or as little as a week or two. Honestly it was pretty quick for me and that was even before I had a lot of referrals. But you have to be consistent with your effort. Folks may not feel that putting aside a few minutes per day to get paid for something they already do unpaid is worth their time. But for me it's a no brainer. I always have free time during TV commercials, using the bathroom or when I'm waiting on someone. Sometimes I just multitask and work on SuperPoints as I'm working on the other smaller opportunities. I even just log in with my smart phone and work on it there too. At the end of the day, it may take a bit of patience especially if you don't plan to refer anyone. But over time it does add up.
3. More videos please….
One of the easiest ways to earn points is watching videos. It's very much like Beezag in that respect. Some of these videos are actually very entertaining or informative. But sadly there aren't many of them on a daily basis. I suspect that they are only paid for a certain number of views per day for a given video and if they've met that number then no more videos are provided. So I wish they had more opportunities to get paid for watching videos like SwagBucks offers. That being said, I have discovered that they do add videos randomly during the day. So it's a good idea to check periodically throughout the day even if they say there are none left for the day.
4. Tell me what to do!
I think they should do a better job of encouraging people to complete their profiles and increase their membership levels. When you complete your profile completely you move up in your membership level and thus can earn more points. But I've noticed a lot of people don't even move up to the basic level which is simple and doesn't involve any referrals. I strongly suspect that a lot of this has to do with the fact that members don't know they should perform the additional steps to move up to various levels. Ideally, I'd like to see a MORE prominent message when you first login instead of that little ass Validate link at the top of the member page that can be easily missed or ignored. I would take it a step further by sending an email directing you on what else you should do to get higher membership level. I think doing this would help SuperPoints earn even more ad dollars and we as members would also have a greater opportunity to earn more rewards. It's a win win for everyone. Just be sure you encourage whoever you refer to confirm their email address and fill in their profile so they get the most out of their experience and so you can earn the most out of their efforts too.
5. You've changed on me…
I'll be really real with you. Now that I'm at the highest membership level, I've noticed that my winning amounts for the super lucky button and emails are lower than when I was receiving at the basic or gold membership level. Now with that said I think it sort of balances out. Because it seems like I'm getting a lot more winnings because I have more clicks and now I'm earning on my referrals for some of their activities. So it might be they adjust the winning amounts based on the fact that I'm earning more as a whole on all the additional activities and perks. Either way it's something I noticed. Initially I thought to myself, ain't this a bitch, I'm being penalized for coming up. But when I started doing the mental math, I realized it was still working to my favor. Then again I've always sucked at math. lol
So is SuperPoints.com Legitimate?
It definitely appears that way. It's been around for a pretty long time so hopefully that doesn't change in the near future. I've been paid by them several times already (paypal payment and an amazon gift card) and so have others that I know and respect. It's a fun and addictive way of earning rewards for things you probably already do on the internet. No, it's probably not going to pay your rent or mortgage. But it will definitely add some additional funds in your pocket on a weekly basis if you put in the little effort it requires.
At the end of the day, all these little money making activities count in my book. This is more so the case when you haven't been able to earn a dime with your own make money online efforts. I literally earn several thousand dollars per month as a trained affiliate marketer and despite that I still take advantage of companies like SuperPoints.com every day. I obviously don't need to. But to me, it's easy money. I'll be using the money I earn with this and other smaller sites to fund my christmas shopping or paying for a new gadget I want. If I can earn for what I already do, then why not? Let me know what you guys think about this opportunity? Share your experiences. For those of you who aren't really interested in supplemental income and would prefer something more substantial feel free to visit our work at home jobs page here.

Good luck ya'll!
P.S. As many of you know because of the popularity of my sites I'm pretty decent at getting tons of referrals fairly quickly. It's how I earn my living. That's cool for me but what about you folks who aren't as blessed? Well depending on how many people I see sign up for SuperPoints I may offer anyone that joins under me and is active some free help to get your own referrals. I'll send out details about this in a week or two. So if you're interested chime in below. Include your Super Points user name, and the time and date you earned points and for what activity (clicking the super points button or survey) to get the ball rolling. I'm only interested in helping people that are active!
