LIVING AND WORKING IN FRANCE

Just bought a PTC

2009-04-27T15:54:00.003+02:00

After all the frustrations in the PTC world, I have decided to give it a go myself and have bought my own PTC.

It is called Hilarious Clicks, and is based on the aurora script. The membership, which is free by the way, is just over the 100 mark, but new members are joining everyday.

There are approximately around 20 clicks per day, and you can even add your own site in the click exchange section (similar to a traffic exchange) on a 5:4 ratio, meaning for every five sites that you surf, you will receive 4 in exchange.

Advertising prices are low at the moment, although as the membership increases, then the prices will go up slightly so that the members can earn more per click.

Payout is at the moment $1.00 (although I am considering lowering this) and payment is via Paypal (again other payment processors will be added in time).

Take a look and see what you think at Hilarious clicks.

CafeBux - New PTC

2009-04-24T16:05:00.001+02:00

A New PTC (paid to click) company I have just joined is CafeBux.

It looks a promising new site, not too many ads to click on at the moment, but it is early days yet. As always, I wouldn't invest in it yet at the moment accept my time, not until I hear if it is paying out yet.

Clicking Kingdom - A New Blog

2009-04-06T11:14:00.001+02:00

I have just recently started a new blog called Clicking Kingdom, as this blog is starting to get a bit jumbled up now, so I thought that it would be better to try and separate things up a bit, so the New Blog at Clicking Kingdom, will specialise more on Money Earning possibilities on the Internet.

Pickjack - Payment proof

2009-03-24T15:41:00.002+01:00

Just got paid from the Question and answers site Pickjack, which I never go on that much, as I always seem to be busier on other things, so I was glad when I received payment to my paypal account, as again I had heard rumors that this site was also not paying, but the proof is below (just click to enlarge) :

For anyone who has never been to pickjack before the concept is very simple, you just answer questions that other members have set and then you can also set related questions for others to follow.

They pay via PayPal, and as I said the proof is above.

Orangebizs - Payment Proof

2009-03-21T19:38:00.000+01:00

Just been paid at orangebizs, the Paid to read copy, it is not that much, but to be honest I was just making sure that they paid okay, which obviously they do, they only took a couple of days for the payment, which isn't that bad.

Here is the payment proof (just click on it to enlarge it):

Another Good PTC Program

2009-03-10T21:28:00.003+01:00

Jills Click Corner is another site I have recently joined after several people recommending it to me, so thought I would give it a go, and must say that I am not disappointed with it.

Lots of ads to click everyday, and I know that they are only a small value, but is because the site is managed correctly that it manages to survive and pay its members unlike some of the other PTC companies that are coming and going nowadays.

Click on the banner below and take a look at it yourself, I am sure you will agree with me.

Great PTC/PTR

2009-03-05T21:17:00.001+01:00

Just recently joined this PTC site, Donkey Mails that also sends paid emails as well. They have been around for years, so you don't have a problem with them turning into a scam, which is refreshing in today's economic climate.

Payouts are low at $1 for PayPal, and there are plenty of ads to click as well.

2009-03-03T21:23:00.000+01:00

ArgentoPTC, the Spanish PTC company has also now turned into a scam, they seem to be falling like flies at the moment, so that is another one to avoid.

Taylor Swift - Love Story

2009-03-01T19:54:00.000+01:00

Another song that is getting a lot of airplay at the moment is this one from Taylor Swift. The Title is called Love Story. Hope you enjoy it.

RoudyCash, the promising PTC company certainly looks like it has turned into a scam, and is certainly one to avoid now.

What I have done as payment there seems impossible, is to convert my balance to ads, so that at least I will get a bit of benefit from it any way, it is a shame, but that is what it is like in the PTC industry at the moment.

Camping holidays in France

2009-02-26T01:59:00.000+01:00

Camping in France, either in tents, caravans or mobile homes is a hugely popular activity both with French people and foreigners from neighbouring European countries. There are around 11,000 campsites scattered across France, ranging from minimal facility farm campsites through to luxury holiday parks. Most campsites in France are graded by stars, one to four in much the same way as hotels.

One-star campsites are fairly basic and becoming increasingly rare. Two-star sites (the most numerous) generally provide a reasonable level of comfort. Three and four stars usually mean a degree of luxury, often extending to first-class restaurants and beautifully landscaped swimming pools.

The main sectors of the French coast are:
1) Brittany (may also include Normandy covering North-West France)
2) The Vendée
3) The Loire Valley
4) The Dordogne
5) Languedoc-Roussillon
6) The Alps (may also include the Pyrenees)

The main tourist areas cater well for campers and you can usually find a good choice of campsites or mobile homes in France. Inland sites generally have more space available, and if you do find it difficult to find a pitch along the coast just turn inland and you’re sure to find one. It probably won’t be that far from a beach either.

The majority of French campsites close down during the winter months and some are only open for a few months during the summer. The summer season is especially busy for family holidays in France, with many of them becoming full to capacity.

Even though France has some magnificent mountain scenery in the Alps and Pyrenees, plus some beautiful rivers like the Loire and Dordogne, most campers head for the coast and there’s a lot of it in France, particularly in the west. Within easy reach of it all there are many superb campsites at which to stay.

RoudyCash PTC

I still haven't been paid by RoudyCash, I keep hearing rumors that they are going to go scam.

Apparently they have been having problems with their Aleert Pay account, and they have now swapped everything over to PayPal, which would be good, if they paid. Despite them saying that they will now pay immediately, unfortunately when you click the button for payment, it says that enough have been processed today, try later.

Not very encouarging. For now I am continuing to click, but not promoting the link to signup at the moment until things are made clearer.

Problems at Buxcorp ?

This is what they write in the announcement:

I am not the only one having this issue.

But I have talked to two other site owners recently and one of them said they have a ton of reversals from people doing fraudelaunt transactions.

They told me they had more transactions reversed and showed me who it was, and I said that same person bought from me, and he bought alot, and if they reversed my funds I would be in the hole.

Sure enough they reversed everything and I’m in the hole.

2/18/2009 Payment Received From jeson green
jesongreen@yahoo.com Reversed $12.00 USD
2/18/2009 Payment Received From jeson green
jesongreen@yahoo.com Reversed $80.18 USD
2/18/2009 Payment Received From jeson green
jesongreen@yahoo.com Reversed $63.48 USD

A negative account balance of $-43.77 USD exists in your U.S. Dollars account
You are required to transfer amounts from the following balance(s):

Would you like to continue with this transfer?
———————————————

I’m unable to make any payouts due to this, and sometimes if their credit card purchases we the site owners get charged $37 fee if it’s reversed.

I’m going to place a donation button on buxcorp that way we’ll have funds to continue paying our members. I have a feeling this won’t stop unless we start banning countries such as russia and china and vietnam since they seem to be the ones doing these kind of transactions as of late.

If you request payout via instant pay while our account is in the hole, it will come back as a failed transaction. Please bare with us while we try to resolve the issue.

No matter is that true or not, I believe that Buxcorp is living on borrowed time at the moment and could just run away without notice soon, just similar to many scam sites before. So I would advise everyone not to invest any money with them at the moment.

PTC News

2009-02-23T16:00:00.004+01:00

There are a lot of sites that are currently advertising UnoBux as a “New NeoBux site”.
This action is just to trick many users into thinking that UnoBux is another site by admin of NeoBux.

I’m here to let my visitor know that NeoBux have never said that UnoBux is one of their sites.

People advertise like that just so they can get easier referrals, so if you want to sign up for UnoBux that is fine, but don't sign up because you think it is part of the same company.

As for me, I don't like NeoBux, just too few ads to really make any money unless you upgrade although they are regular payers. UnoBux, I am looking into signing up to them, but I am just checking out a couple of things First.

ProsperBux - New PTC

2009-02-18T01:09:00.001+01:00

I have just recently joined this PTC program called Prosperbux, and it seems to be quite a promising one with a good layout and some interesting options. For a standard member, you get 1 cent per click and half a cent for your referrals with between 5 - 8 ads per day and they pay instantly to Alertpay when your balance reaches $3.

The nice thing I like about this site is that it gives you the option of either Buying referrals or you can rent them on a month to month basis, depending on how much you want to risk or make depending on how you look at it.

Facebook - How Safe is your Content ?

2009-02-17T01:03:00.004+01:00

Now I am not a fan of Facebook, I just don't seem to get it as such, but my wife and daughters are, and that is why my eye caught an interesting article the other day about Facebook changing its TOS.

On February 4th, the largest social network by all accounts, Facebook, quietly updated it’s terms of service to grant itself an unending and irrevocable license to use all content ever uploaded to its service.

You might think to yourself, I will then close my account and good for you,but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content. They can even sublicense it if they want.

So just be careful not to upload any content to Facebook except links. Links merely point to the actual content. Most blogs and content site these days provide a “Share with Facebook” tool that will allow readers (or yourself) submit content to Facebook. The sticky point is that you are not actually uploading the photo, or the video to Facebook itself. Merely an excerpt and thumbnail.

Unfortunately, this thing slid through in the dead of night without so much as a peep and you’re expected to swallow the pill and be happy with it. Facebook never offered you a chance to decline the new TOS, nor did they offer to grandfather content previously uploaded. So feel free to delete stuff you never meant to give away for any constructive or nefarious purpose out there - it’s gone.

I wouldn't go as far as saying to cancel your account with Facebook, after all it is the largest Social network but just be aware of what you actually want to share.

MyPage5 - Make Money from Home

2009-02-11T22:16:00.006+01:00

MyPage5 is a social networking site which pays its members to socialize, chat, discuss topics of the day, upload photos and videos and well anything else that you would normally do which any other Social Network.

How can a social networking site afford to pay its members I here you ask, you don't off the larger companies. With MyPage5 , the members will get a share of our advertising revenue.

MyPage5 has advertisements on every page and these are put there by an advertising network, and are paid by the advertisers on a ‘cost per thousand’ page view basis. This means that every time a page containing an advert is viewed a thousand times, MyPage5 gets a small amount of revenue. Members will get 20% of the profit revenue based on a twentieth of the page views that they have accumulated monthly. Members will accumulate page views every time another member views their profile, pictures, videos or blogs.

Payment is made via PayPal, the well known online payment service, once you get to the qualifying amount, which is remarkable easy to get to as their payment rates seem unbeatable and miles ahead of the competition, and they also have no limit on the amount you can upload and earn daily.

If you Social Network regularly and don't get paid, you should ask yourself why can't you have a piece of the advertising cake and click HERE, and register for MyPage5.

You have nothing to lose as it's free to join, and have plenty to gain. I look forward to seeing you there.

Take Your Level - Payment Proof

2009-02-05T20:10:00.003+01:00

Just got paid by Take your Level, a program that I was dubious about at first, but although a slow earner, does seem to be paying at the moment.

I orginally invested $1 to start with and test the system, and then quickly invested another $1 shortly afterwards, which has now grown to $5, which after their charges has paid me $4.50 to my alertpay.

My orginal investment is still there moving up the scale, and I will probably re-invest any future profit the next time, so to make future maximum returns.

The payment proof is below, just click it to enlarge it.

French Protests - Black Thursday

2009-01-28T20:37:00.003+01:00

To update everyone on the latest strike details this thursday, I have just come across this on France24, which throws a bit more light on what to expect.

Major disruptions to transport and public services are expected on "Black Thursday" after all of France's main trade unions called for a general strike in response to fears that workers will be made to pay the price of the global financial crisis.

All the country's main trade unions have called for their members to stay away from work to take part in large-scale street protests against President Nicolas Sarkozy's right-wing government.

With businesses failing and unemployment mounting, many workers fear they will be made to pay the price for a crisis they blame on the greed of bankers and a failure in market capitalism.

Sarkozy, who came to power 20 months ago promising to cut taxes and trim France's public administration, has announced a 26 billion euro (34 billion dollar) industrial stimulus package.

But he has also set aside 360 billion euros to underwrite banks and has signalled he intends to press ahead with most planned reforms to shake up the public sector and liberalise the labour market.

Opposition Socialists, who have been flailing in the political wilderness since Sarkozy's May 2007 election victory, have seized upon the protest movement to thrust themselves back into the debate.

"We're the opposition. Did you think we were just going to lie back and wait for 2012?" declared Socialist leader Martine Aubry, referring to the date of the next presidential vote.

Thursday's protests will see mainstream Socialist politicians once more marching alongside organised labour and the hard left. "All the unions are telling us, 'It's good to have you back'," Aubry said.

Both the government and the unions are expecting the strike -- which opinion polls have indicated are thus far supported by a majority of the public -- to cause widespread disruption.

Airlines will have to cancel a third of flights departing and arriving at Paris's Orly airport and 10 percent of those from the main Charles de Gaulle hub, aviation officials said.

The SNCF state rail company said only 60 percent of TGV high-speed trains would run and warned of even greater disruption on regional trains.

Only 35 percent to 50 percent of Lyria high-speed services will connect to Switzerland, but Eurostar trains to London and Thalys trains to the Netherlands and northern Germany will not be affected, it said.

Metro and Parisian commuter train services will be badly disrupted, the RATP transport authority said, but the city's buses and trams are planning to run normally, albeit crowded with overflow Metro passengers.

"Workers, the unemployed, the vulnerable, pensioners, everyone who is suffering must not hesitate to take part. To be heard, we need to mobilise in great numbers," said Bernard Thibault, head of Communist union the CGT.

Sarkozy's government has been careful in its approach to the protests, striking a conciliatory tone and postponing reforms to secondary education which could have provoked teenagers to join the marchers.

But some of the president's right-wing allies have spoken out.

Laurence Parisot, the head of the French employers' federation MEDEF, attacked the strike movement as the wrong answer to the crisis.

"We all agree on the diagnosis, we are going through a crisis of unequalled proportions," she told France Inter radio, confirming that transport shutdowns would keep many non-striking private sector staff from their posts.

"But ... it is bad news that France's only response should be this kind of hodge-podge, blanket protest. It is as if a sailor caught up in a storm started shouting at the weather, instead of holding the tiller."
