Comprehensive guide that will teach you step by step how to earn money from PROBUX
When I first learned about PROBux 3 years ago, I thought it would
be impossible to earn significant income when you only earn a penny per click.
I had no PROBUX education or ProBux strategy and so I walked away from it.
However, some time later I found an online ProBux Strategy Guide that explained
how to properly rent referrals and to begin to view ProBux as a business not
just a "paid to click" site.
In the following ProBux Strategy Guide, I will share with you the basic principles
of renting ProBux referrals, how to manage your ProBux referrals, how to have
FREE Direct ProBux Referrals added to your account automatically, and other
ProBux Tips & Tricks.
Established users may find some of the information trivial, but new ProBux
members will find most of the data critical to their success. Every ProBux member
should read the guide as I have developed solutions for many of the common
issues that 'ProBuxers' have.
Getting Started
What is ProBux?
ProBux is a PTC (Paid To Click) service where members earn a small amount of
money for viewing ads. It is 100% legitimate and ProBux is possibly the #1 premier
PTC site on the internet. Advertisers on ProBux are fully aware that members
are being paid to view the ads, so it is a fair system to all.
How do I earn money with ProBux?
There are three basic streams of income from ProBux:
• Income from your personal actions on the site (viewing ads, adgrids, etc)
• Commissions paid to you from RRs (Rented Referrals)
• Commissions paid to you from DRs (Direct Referrals)
How much money can I make?
If you are willing to put a small amount of time each day, and you follow this
guide, you should be able to make well over $1,000 per month spending less than
30 minutes each day. Some users make several thousand dollars per month with the
same time commitment. It will not happen overnight, but with some diligence,
this is certainly an achievable goal already reached by many of the ProBux veterans.
How do I get started?
If you have not already signed up for ProBux, click on any of the ProBux banners
within the guide or sign up here.
NOTE: There is only a very slim chance that I (the author of this ProBux strategy
guide) will get you as a DR. This ProBux strategy guide is not only educational,
but also a tool I developed to help all ProBux users get FREE Direct ProBux Referrals.
You will be able to participate as well, as I will explain later.
Something to think about... if you have 300 DRs but they are uneducated about ProBux
and quit, you won't make money from them! My goal is to help you acquire ACTIVE
ProBux referrals so that you make more money. Typically, educated referrals are
active referrals!
After you have signed up, continue Reading.
The First Two Weeks (1 Goal to complete)
In my opinion, the first two weeks are "make it or break it" with ProoBux users.
Sadly, a lack of education will cause many to leave, but you are in the right
place to avoid missing out on this great opportunity.
During the time, you are sign-up with probux you are eligible for DRs, so do not focus on that
at all. Your ONLY focus should be:
• Getting into the daily routine of viewing the ads assigned to you
• Earning your first $0.60 so you can begin the referral rental process
It is critical that you view EVERY ad assigned to you during this period so that
you can multiply the rentals of referrals from your account and be eligible for DRs as soon as possible.
You need to be a member for 30 days and have more ad views to increase your balance from your rented referrals.
TIP: View ads by logging in and clicking the "View Advertisements" button at the top of your page.
TIP: ProoBux has notifier toolbars for various internet browsers. They are not AdWare.
They simply tell you your balance and when new ads are available.
You are not going to earn much during the first two weeks, that's a fact Jack.
15 days * approx. $0.04 / day = $0.60 ... Trivial as it may seem, $0.60 is your 1st goal.
Goal #1 - Earn $0.60
TIP: If you are able to complete mini jobs, you can reach Goal #1 within a day or two!
If you are interested in a small jump start and have even just a few dollars to
invest into your new ProoBux business, there are instructions in Part #3. However,
the 15 day requirement before you are eligible for renting more referrals will still take (you guessed it) 15 days.
Renting Your First Referrals (3 Goals to complete)
Congratulations, you just graduated from Kindergarten! It's a big deal to make it
through the first 15 days. A lot of people quit before this point... and guess what,
this is where the fun begins! You're gonna do just fine!
Once you have at least $0.60 in your ProoBux account (even if the 15 days are not
up yet), you have enough to rent 3 referrals. As mentioned above, you can "jump
start" your business by investing a few dollars of your own and begin renting
Probux referrals sooner.
Before you do, read this:
• According to the TOS: "If you click at least 4 advertisements being a Standard
/ Pioneer member or you click at least 9 advertisements being a Golden member,
you'll receive all clicks made from your referrals."
In other words, if you do not click the 4 required advertisements, you won't
earn income for your referrals for that day!
TIP: The required ads are the "Standard Exposures" [Green] and "Fixed Advertisements"
[Yellow/Gold] ... though you should always view every ad available anyway.
Goal #2 - Rent 3 referrals by clicking the "Referrals" button on your account home page.
Goal #3 - Turn on "AutoPay" within the Referrals->Rented menu.
(From the original guide I found)
"Referrals cost 0.30 a month to maintain. Instead of paying for the referral,
they will pay themselves as long as autopay is on. You get one penny less from
each referral, but they will be your referral as long as they are active. As a
standard, you receive 0.005 per click from each RR."
I prefer Autopay = Enabled because each day your referrals are active, they pay
for themselves to be extended. This way, you do not need to worry about how
much money to reserve for re-rental. Autopay is a must!
TIP: There is a discount applied when using Autopay as well, yet another good
reason to use it!
Assuming your 3 rented referrals stay active, you will earn the following:
3 RR * 4 RR-clicks at $0.005 each = $0.06 / day
Clicking ads assigned to you, still approx $0.04 / day
For a total of $0.10 / day.
• Within one more week you can rent 3 more referrals, and be earning $0.16 / day
• The following week you will have enough to rent 5 more referrals (now you
will have 11 RRs) for a total of $0.26 / day.
• The week after that, you will have enough to rent 10 more referrals (now you
will have 21 RRs) for a total of $0.46 / day.
• At the end of the 4th week from when you rented your first RRs, you will have
enough to rent 19 more referrals (now you will have 40 RRs) for a total of
$0.84 / day. • And so on...
TIP: If a rented referral is inactive for 14 days, it will be replaced with a
new one for free! (As you build your business, the 14 days can actually be
lowered to 7 days)
Continue viewing your assigned advertisements each day so that you can earn your
rented referral income, and when you save up enough money to rent more referrals,
get them! The more rented referrals you have, the more you will make. I recommend
choosing a day of the week for rentals, and on that day rent as many as the
funds in your ProBux account can afford.
Goal #4 - Continue until acquire 300 rented referrals
Yes, It will take some time, but remember, you are building a business and
passive income with just a small time commitment each day! It goes pretty fast
since renting referrals increases your income, and increased income allows you
to rent more referrals. Can you say "snowball effect?"
TIP: 300 RRs * 4 RR-clicks at $0.005 per click = $6/day ... It will take about
two weeks to save up $90 .
Once you have 300 referrals, stop renting and save up $90 in your ProBux account.
I will explain this more in Part 5.
There are many ways to acquire DRs... YouTube, Facebook, word of mouth, forum
signatures, AdWords, and a list of places towards the end of the guide! These
are all valid and I encourage you to use any marketing skills that you have to
promote your ProBux business.

Bring The Fresh in 2014
I talk a lot in this blog about the importance of getting a job in the industry…
not only to learn and understand how it works, but to build relationships with
working professionals. So today’s question comes,
…
“Get a job in the industry, even A
low-level job as an assistant, intern, PA, or runner” as a great way to
build your professional contacts. It’s a great idea but work is scarce
right now. Do you have any insightful tips on pursuing any of these
entry and low-level jobs?
Getting a job in Hollywood is all about connections and relationships.
Rarely will you land a Hollywood job solely on the strength of your resume
or past experience. Yet, as a points out, even positioning yourself to
make those connections can be tough. So here are some great ways to break
in and get your career ball rolling…
1. WORK AT AN AGENCY – There’s a reason people refer to working at an agency
as “grad school for the industry.” The big agencies, especially in television,
are the hub of all commerce; there’s not a sale or deal that happens without
going through one of the major agencies. As a result, agencies have their
fingers on the pulse of everything happening in Hollywood as it happens…
who’s buying, what’s selling, which shows are getting picked up, who’s
getting hired or fired. Nothing happens in Hollywood without agencies
knowing about it… often even before the other people involved!
Thus, agencies are often the BEST STARTING PLACE for anyone launching a
Hollywood career… even if you don’t want to be an agent.
In fact, many networks, studios, and producers won’t even hire assistants who
don’t already have agency experience!
…Which is why, if you walk into the belly of one of Hollywood’s top agencies,
you’ll find law school graduates, MBA’s, undergraduate interns… people of
all levels starting their careers. (I know a guy who started his own business,
built it into a multi-million-dollar, international company… of which he was
the CEO… then decided he wanted to switch careers, become an agent. He got a
job at one of Hollywood’s biggest agencies… in their mailroom. Now, his
knowledge and experience helped him excel faster than the other low-level
employees, and he’s now a full-fledged agent, but the point is:
everyone starts in the mailroom.)
Future showrunners hard at work
Working at an agency, you usually begin in the mailroom, sorting and delivering
incoming and outgoing mail. Once you’ve proven your mettle, you’ll become a
“floater,” or substitute assistant, “floating” from one agent’s desk to
another, covering for assistants who are out sick, on vacation, etc. As you
do this, you’re hopefully forming good relationships with agents throughout
the agency, especially in areas where you hope to work. (If you want to be a
screenwriter, you’re forming relationships with MP lit agents; if you want
to be a reality producer, you’re meeting alternative agents; if you want to
be a TV casting director, you’re meeting TV talent agents, etc.) Eventually,
you land on an agent’s desk permanently, working strictly as that agent’s
assistant until you’re ready to move on… either within the company, or
to an external job.
This whole time, you’re in the midst of a massive swirl of information.
You’ll read countless scripts—and learn to analyze them. You’ll know who
all the major players are (and meet many of them, as well as their assistants,
personally or on the phone). You’ll understand the ins and outs of negotiating,
giving (and receiving) notes, pitching a new show idea. You will learn more,
and meet more people, faster than you ever thought possible.
You’ll also build your Rolodex… not only with people within your company,
but with all the execs, managers, writers, producers, and clients with whom
the agency does business. These people not only form the foundation of your
professional network, they’re people who will get you your next job (and the
one after that… and the one after that). In fact, assistants at agencies often
know of job openings around town long before anyone else… so you’re perfectly
positioned to nab that writers assistant gig at How I Met Your Mother…
or the job assisting the president of NBC… or the new story producer
opening at Top Chef. For all of these reasons.....
