A Clicker Forever

Since this blog is about making money online, I want to share with you how I actually earned real cash the very first time online. There are so many people who say Paid To Click (PTC) websites are a waste of time, mostly because they pay in pennies and it seems like forever reaching payouts. Most of these members have been scammed or have legitimate reasons not to like clicking. Heck, most of them did waste their time clicking since the sites they joined either closed or they never reached payout and gave up. Whatever their reason, there is a POSITIVE side to clicking on PTC websites. If you are thinking about quitting PTC websites, please read these very good reasons to continue clicking before making your decision. I have been clicking since 2006 and will never quit because:

Free Money:  Just name one place where you can get free money. Sure you can get lots of free things online but is anyone giving away real money? How can this money be free you are probably thinking? Well the upside to meager earnings as others have wined about is the good ole IRS requires a minimum of six hundred dollars ($600) per year in order to report these earnings. No way you gonna come even close to those kinds of earnings clicking on PTC websites. Remember, this amount counts for EACH website. So let those pennies add up and collect your free money. 

Little Time:  Remember the popular statement about PTC being a waste of time? Well there is just one word that ends this argument, Facebook. How much time do you spend on Facebook reading their millions of ads and clicking on those links? Forwarding the links to all your friends so they can do the same thing. All that advertising revenue being passed around by millions of members. Is Facebook paying you one red cent for reading their ads? Wow, talk about a waste of time. It takes only 30 seconds to earn one cent on most PTC websites (2 cents per minute). Are you seriously telling me you don't have 30 minutes to spare from your busy day? Most PTC sites only give members 5-10 ads per day and even joining several sites, you can click all of them in less than an hour. You can spend an hour on Facebook and earn them millions while you earn nothing OR you can spend that hour clicking on PTC sites and earn some real cash. You do the math.

No Experience:  Well this statement is self explanatory but let me add a few more things. The PTC world is constantly changing. Lots of websites are now adding all kinds of mini tasks, surveys, games, videos and so many different ways to earn more cash. No resumes or interview questions necessary. No supervisor looking over your shoulder. You work when you want and you get to pick the type of assignments you want. It's sorta like being your own boss right? Now what job let's you be in charge from the very beginning with absolutely no experience?

Click Anywhere: This is my favorite reason for staying with PTC websites, you can click from just about anywhere. If you own a laptop, you have struck gold since most places now offer free wi-fi connections. Talk about the perfect business, one you can do from anywhere and any time. Clicking also makes a good hobby for those rainy days when you are bored. Just one word of caution, be sure and check the terms first before logging in from another location. Some PTC websites only allow members to use the computer they registered with to sign on. Definitely don't want to lose your account and earnings because you broke a rule.

A Clicker Forever:  So after reading these good reasons, do you still want to quit clicking? Let me put it another way. Clicking is a job that allows you to earn free money, with no experience required, that you can do any time and from just about anywhere. As for me, I will be a clicker forever.

Welcome and the Title Belongs to Me

Welcome to my blog, Money Under My Mattress. There are a lot of blogs on the internet with this title and guess what, most of them belong to me so this blog is authentic. I started blogging many years ago and did not keep up with them so my blogs were deleted. Also because Google felt it was a spam magnet. This is exactly what happens when you don't maintain your blogs. Geeze, I must have written a post every month or maybe even two months, what a crying shame. Anyway I'm giving blogging another shot and decided to keep the same title because it works for me. This title represents everything I am trying to do on the internet, MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH. You know the kind of cash everyone used to stash under their mattress before banks were invented (smile).

Since we are talking about blogging, I just want to give you some advice. I don't care how much anyone loves writing, blogging is hard WORK in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I really love writing but it's easy to understand why there are so many blogs out there with links that have long expired or have a "this domain name for sale" sign on them. Those bloggers threw in the towel just like I did years ago.Writing your thoughts down on internet paper is the easy part for most bloggers. The tricky part is MAINTAINING the content and layout of the blog. Let me give you an example so you understand.One day I removed a small referral banner that was for a popular website called Mylot. I wanted to make my own banner that matched my blog layout. No hurry on getting this banner done, more important things to work on. Well after deleting this banner I had forgotten that the banner was also mentioned in one of my earlier blog posts and when did I find this out? After a potential referral read my post and asked me where the banner was. Yikes! Unfortunately they signed up for Mylot anyway without my referral name, but he thanked me for the great review. So of course a decision had to be made. Either get my new Mylot banner up fast or change the post. You see my point now?

This is just one of many examples of the trouble of maintaining a blog. When you start spending a great deal of time picking layouts, photos, grammar, updating links, replying to every comment, promoting your blog, getting neat blog gadgets, advertising affiliate programs and the list goes on, BLOGGING then becomes a full time job and for most bloggers with very little or no pay at all. Blogging does not have to overwhelm you and seem like a chore. Write when you feel inspired. You can always publish the posts later. Rushing or forced blogging jeopardizes the content and originality. Keep things simple, work smarter not harder and this will cut down on the maintenance side of blogging. I hope you find this advice helpful and continue blogging.

My name is Sergeantrom and my ultimate goal in life is to work from home. For now, I am earning lots of pocket change, reading and taking plenty of notes about my adventures online. This blog is my way of sharing all the many different ways of earning extra cash on the internet. Oh yeah and the plane in the background, that photo represents the Sky is the Limit when it comes to Money Under My (and hopefully your) Mattress. Good luck everyone.
