Rising Surf

This year we started to earn money online through PTC. In September we started only with neobux, then joined other PTCs like baybux, TTG, performancebux, ppclix and other ptcs. Only neobux had paid and others were scam/closed before they can pay us our earnings.

We have come to conclude that PTC gives a low return in such a long period of time.

We have invested a capital of $90 in neobux and its invested value went up to $150 because we reinvested our earnings worth of $60. We started to place our capital in neobux late September and until now we have not break even with the invested value($150) but we already have a small profit(if based on the capital which is $90) of $25 in over 3 months worth of clicking. Pathetically low but decent since the profit was paid through paypal.

Early October we started to join Autosurfs, the first one we ever joined was Megalido which lasted for 3 months before it went scam. The 2nd site we joined and invested aggressively was Fastprofitsurf in which we were also able to profit about 4 cycles before it closed. We were able to get 3 cycles from Megalido before it closed. By the end of the Megalido and Fastprofitsurf era we profited $160(from Megalido) and $240(from Fastprofitsurf) paid through alertpay. The Megalido and Fastprofitsurf experience opened many doors for us, we learned a lot from the autosurf industry and earned a lot from it.

Other autosurfs that we were able to earn great profit were 12dailyclub, eizoinvest and golden surf. We had minor profit on others like TrafficAlmighty, DailyProfitPond and Privateoffshorecapital. There were many autosurfs we joined, but few lasted for a month. They closed and went scam after 1 cycle only, leaving us very little profit and on other sites lost a few bucks. We only had minor loss and the biggest was on 8dailyforever in which we lost $44.

We then have summarized our experience with the Autosurf industry as ruthless and harsh but provided that you have technical knowledge about domains, webhosting and the autosurf industry trends, you will survive this industry and even profit from it.

By late October we also started to invest in HYIPs(High Yield Investment Programs). We come to realize that this is the most ruthless of all the types of investment programs you can join online. Most of the websites of this type of program is hosted on a shared server, and you can conclude that the admins are very cheap and only after your money. They have the most obvious signs of scam but some new investors still fall for it.

So far the only HYIP that we were able to gain great profit from was Youmilex giving us a $66 profit in 3 cycles. Youmilex never closed and is still active entering 2009 but we stopped our investments there.

A brief conclusion would be:
PTC/PTS (Paid to click or Paid-to-sites) give a low return of investments in a long period of time but it is less risky.
Autosurfs give a high return of investments in a short period of time and it is more risky than PTS.
HYIPs(High Yield Investment Programs) are the most risky programs though the return ia higher than of other programs, it is not worth the risk. Very few selective programs may give you profit.

Overall by the end of the year we have invested $300 worth of capital, break even and profited $400. This was a great year though it ended as the scam season in full swing. We are just glad that we pulled out our investments in time. We stopped all our investments in early December and RisingSurf will be back in late January. We will then be aggressively investing again in the autosurf industry if everything will be back to normal in this industry. We are also considering to tackle currency trading in forex as another way of earning online. We still be providing free monitoring services and referral commissions back to our downlines.
