Make Money Online, Is this Real? Part 2

Part 2 of my venture in one of the million internet businesses out there. Today, I will highlight my experience in NeoBux. You may think its a Scam. There are bitter websites out there who can't do anything but to knock the hell-up of others credibility. As for me, before venturing in this business, I ensure myself that I'll have an open-mind, done all my homework and have enough cash to splash. Since I'm all-in, now, I'm sharing my story.

I joined NeoBux last June 29, 2009. I have so much to learn about this prestigious PTC site but what the heck, I'm a risk taker. I'm currently a Standard Member. I'm earning $0.04 cent every day. Meaning, as a Standard member, I only have 4 advertisements to click worth $0.01 cent compared to an upgraded fellow. With this in mind, I know I can't "bring home the bacon". After 2 weeks of clicking ads, I started renting my "clickers" or "referrals". As the title implies, these folks helps you with the clicking and of course earning. It's not slavery believe me, you're helping them as well by paying them with their efforts. More on this as we move further.

First, I have rented 30 referrals worth almost $8. As a standard member in NeoBux, your first 2 rentals are discounted. Since I have only earned less than a dollar, I need to invest from my own pocket. This is one of the hardest part to do especially when you're doing transaction in the internet. You're not sure whether the company you're investing in is legit or not. But with research and testimonies from other members, that made me decide to spill out some cash.


As I've experienced, results were pretty much noticeable. After renting 30 referrals, my earnings went up for almost double what I'm getting every day. By the way, we're just talking about cents here, don't get carried away. After seeing the success of the 30 refs, I rented again for my first 100 referrals for $25 bucks. All in, I have invested $33 already. Thats approximately Php1,500 in Philippine currency. Risk risk risk is the word for the day.


After getting my 130 referrals, I'm now averaging $1 per day. Imagine, I rented referrals last July 24 and I earned $10.92 last August 4 already. The minimum payout in NeoBux is $2 actually, so its up to you how much you want to cash. As for me, I played safe. I tried if this really works. Well, I was satisfied! Payout went right away to my Paypal account.

With this in mind, at least we know that NeoBux is really true. Right now, I'm currently thinking of my next move whether I'll invest again for an upgrade or not. You'll know once I've done it.

I'm sharing this information for all of you to be aware. I'm not saying you venture right away because of a $10 result. Before doing any move, STOP, LOOK and LISTEN (this is very famous when I'm in pre-school). Lets not decide in an impulse, lets study whatever business we want to pursue to ensure that whatever cash we splurge in will come back in no time.

This topic is part by part. This will depend on my experience whether I'll be successful in this Internet business or not. So hang-on tight, the ride may get nasty as we move further.

Hong Kong, Secod Day Tour

Second day is busier in Hong Kong. We woke up early to go to the Repulse Bay. It's one of Hong Kongs Beach. White Sand but Boracay is better! We took some shots, wade in the water and enjoy the sun.

Next stop is the Big Buddha in Ngong Ping Lantau Island. Wuhooo! One mistake we made was we took the almost 2-3 hours bus ride instead of riding the cable car! what the! Anyways, at least we still ended up in front of the Big Buddha without a scratch. Imagine going to the 100 steps in Baguio? Thats how it works here. We went to more than a hundred steps just to see the Buddha upclose. While on the top, you can see almost the whole Hong Kong. Just like in The Victoria Peak. Nice! Not to mention walking right through the Po Lin Monastery. Preservation of culture at its best!

We didn't spend much time in Ngong Ping by the way since our next stop is, where else, Hong Kong Disneyland! wuhooo! We went there aboard the MTR Disneyland Resort Line. The trains themselves are sleek and modern, but their colors and fanciful details, including Mickey Mouse-shaped windows trimmed in red that look out over gold ribbons and sparkling pixie dust, provide a classic look that enables them to appear equally at home in either of their destinations: the futuristic Sunny Bay Station and the Victorian-themed Disneyland Resort Station.This makes the very first dedicated train line for a Disney theme park anywhere in the world! Imagine the excitement we've experience aboard it until we've reached the park. We can describe it in 1 work - "Magical!"

There's a lot to see, hear, do and experience in Hong Kong Disneyland. We are like kids waving to Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Buzz Lightyear and all other Disney Characters. One of the best experienced that we will treasure and of share to our family in the future!

That's the highlight of our stay in Hong Kong. We love the country so much that we don't wanna go home anymore! we wish! Catch our next blog regarding Hong Kong. We will tackle each and every tourists spot in detail.

Hong Kong, First Day Tour

Upon arriving in Hong Kong sometime November, a climate of 19 degrees welcomed us. That's fairly cold. It's a good thing our cardigans and vests are ready. We went straight to our Hotel riding in the front seat of a "double-decker" bus. How i imagined some of those buses are available here. It could be a help for commuters but a nightmare to all traffic enforcers. haha! Anyways, since we ended up staying in Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, we started checking out the spectacular view of Victoria Harbour. Alongside the coastline is the Avenue of Stars. Imagine you're in now defunct Baywalk in Roxas Boulevard without the "fish-like" smell and walking along Philippines version of Hollywoods Walk of Fame in Libis QC. That's how we described it. Stars like Jacky Chan, Bruce Lee, Chow Yun Fat and Jet Li are some of the well known celebrities who have their names engraved in the floor. Not to mention, Bruce Lees monument with his trademark fighting stance. So if you're a big fan of chinese or hong kong celebrities, you better try this place.

First day was a very busy day! we had breakfast at where else... at McDonalds! (One of the cheapest "good to go" resto in Hong Kong). We then rode the ferry going to Central Station. Our first tourist spot for the day is the well known Victoria Peak (Tai Ping Shan). We went there by riding the Peak Tram. Imagine a train that is pulled by a very tough metal chain atop a mountain. That's how it works. We were actually seated with an inclination of 45 degrees. Whooooo! While in The Peak, there are lots of tourist attractions like the EA Sports Facilities, where we tried some of the new games in X Box, PS 3 and even PSP for Free. Yep, you've read it right. Another place to check out is the Madame Tussauds (Wax Museum). We didn't actually go there since it's too expensive.

We're better off with the life size statue of Jacky Chan. hehe! The most awesome place of all is in the viewing deck or the Sky Terraces. Imagine seeing the whole island of Hong Kong. For those who got phobias of heights, it's now or never to you guys. We guarantee you, one of the coolest must-see spot in Hong Kong!

After checking out The Peak, we walked our way to the Ocean Park bus terminal and passed through Centrals Garden Park. We're very excited to the see the Ocean Park and we were not disappointed. Lots of rides for young and old alike. The park is really for the family. How we wished we can bring along our family to share this one of a kind park. Maybe next time...

It's getting dark and we hopped on the bus going to Central again eat at one of the best noodles in Hong Kong. yum yum!

We rushed in to Kowloons Victoria Harbour since its almost 8PM. One spectacular scene that we've witnessed in Hong Kong is the Symphony of Lights. A spectacular display of laser beams bouncing off 33 key skyscrapers on both sides of the harbor for 15minutes or so. Accompanied by synchronized music and commentary, the sound and light display depicts the growth of Hong Kong from a sleepy fishing village to the dynamic world-class city it is today. The sad part here is we didn't got the chance to capture it in video since our vidcam is out of battery. huhuh! Nevertheless, the experience of being there with your loveone is a whole new level.

After the checking out the spectacular light display, of course, getting into a night market in Hong Kont is a must. We went to Temple Street to check out some finds. Imagine a night market in Divisoria and Greenhills. That's basically it.

To be continued... watch out for the Second Day Tour in Hong Kong
