$10+ a day Neobux Challenge 2016

cufc_mike

So I downloaded the Neobux Handy Manager a couple of days ago, the same day I bought an extra 10 RR's. Couldn't work out, or decide whether it'd be more beneficial to buy new RR's, or extend existing ones by 240 days. I spent about 3 hours reading different forums/sites/strategies etc, all with differing approaches. In the end I opted to purchase 10 new RR's, and renew 5 existing ones by just 90 days. I figured I'll probably save up a bit now and just extend existing RR's for as long as possible before I start buying additional ones. I've also worked out my BEP, and have started to use the flags to determine which of my RR's are profitable, allow me to recycle those that aren't. Before, I saw recycling as a waste of money, but now I realise that it's beneficial providing you get the balance right.

Of my 10 RR's that I bought a couple of days ago, I assume one is a 'Golden Member' as they appear to be clicking 8 times per day. I read on a site that it meant they were likely to be Golden and to 'lock' them which I presume prevents them from being auto-recycled? I presume this means they're also likely to be more profitable for me than standard members.

I've also installed the AdAlert extension for Google Chrome, which I'm finding to be beneficial. I'm getting an extra 5-6 Ad's per day that I probably wouldn't have otherwise got.

Anyway, here's my current position:

Balance: $1.632
Refs: 21 (up from 11)
Points: 2,953 (up from 2,324)
Coins: 150 and 105 pending

Mike........Im very impressed!! You seem to be getting the hang of the site very well.

I remember in my early days I spent hours and hours reading different sites on line and also on the neobux forum. I also invested a few times from what I had earned on swagbucks but that was when paypal was an option and Im not sure how to get money into my account if I wanted to invest more.(which I dont at the moment)

The handy manager .......if you can get it right ....really helps with recycling and earning more. I used to use it but then my laptop went on the blink and I have never bothered with this new laptop. Perhaps I should give it a go again. Have you seen the visualisation filter on the actual neo site? I use this to recycle a few a day. My average could be better but its ticking along ok.

Im extending for 90 days days at the moment as I had a big batch of 50 that there is no way I could have done for the 240 days whilst still putting a bit into my Ultimate account. Will carry on with this till I feel Im on top of things again.

Anyway.....this is where I am at

Refs.........900

Ultimate savings ......$381

Points.....24,396

Coins....774..... pending......2,704

Naff all in my balance as I have just extended 4 refs and put rest in ultimate pot. I do this each morning when I usually have around $5- $5.50

Out of interest, how long do you normally give them before recycling? For example I've got 3 RR's from a new batch of 10 that I just bought that after 3 days still haven't clicked once. I'm contemplating recycling all 3, but part of me thinks I should maybe give them another day or so.

Then I've got 3-4 that are all around the 0.8 - 0.9 average, clicking every 2-3 days. So not quite profitable, but not far off. Almost feel like these need to go too, but don't want to recycle too often if I can help it.

In terms of investing more if you wanted to do so, you can use Skrill, which is similar to Paypal. I have a Skrill account that I used from matched betting. I could use occasional profits from that to top up my account, but I like the idea of building Neobux up from absolute $0 with no investment.

I discovered 'AdscendMedia' yesterday evening too. 5 coins per 3 videos watched. I realise this is naughty, but I left my laptop on all night and when I woke up, there was a message on screen saying something like "Are you still watching? Click to continue", but in behind that it had accumulated over 700 coins. I'll keep doing that for the next few nights and see if it was just a one off.

I always give new refs at least 20 days.

Adscend is where I get all my coins from but bit wary of leaving laptop on over night but am now tempted.

My theory is that if I can keep building these coins up.........I will have a good chunk to pay towards my second year of Ultimate costs.

Not planning too far ahead :rotfl:

I have a skrill account but Im a bit like you. I now want to run neo off its own steam. Just seems frustratingly slow at times.

Looks like I got a bit lucky on night 1 with Ascend, and the 700 coins. I've tried it a few nights since, and whilst it's still worked to some extent, I've only been getting 150-200 coins. Still, better than nothing, and over time that will certainly add up!

I've recycled my inactives, and now have all 21 RR's with a 1.0+ avg. Majority are 1.33+ avg. According to the Handy Manager my BEP is 1.267 and average of all RR's is 1.648 so I guess I'm starting to get to grips with it.

Currently:

Balance: $4.481 (up from $1.632) (so increasing by approx $3 per week)
Refs: 21
Points: 3,462 (up from 2,953) (so averaging about 600 per week at the moment)
Coins: 150 and 3,418 pending

Is this normal? For about a week, I was getting about 80 of the blue Ads worth $0.005 each. Then for 2 days in a row, this jumped up to about 160 - which took a lot of time, but was an incredible cash builder. Now I'm back to between 10-15 per day, which is bringing in very little

Kantankrus_Mare

Yes its normal Mike :rotfl: just need to make the most while the ads are there. They often disappear for a few days and then come back or they can be gone for a while.

Ohhhh nooooooo....engageme.tv seems to gave disappeared for me :eek:

Have you got it on yours Mike?

Kantankrus_Mare

Thought I'd just drop by with my stats as I am just over the halfway mark to saving for Ultimate. :j

Golden pack balance $454

Points 26,911

Coins 2,044 with 2,406 pending

I have almost $22 saved for the hopefully upcoming christmas discount period when I have 50 that need renewing on the 19th of Dec :eek:

Was banking on the points helping me out in the future but seems engageme.tv isnt an option any more.:(

I am religiously putting $3 a day into golden pack which should give me enough to reach my dream by end of April and then I need to increase my refs as quick as possible to sustain my account.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Hi KM - sorry I didn't see this post. No, I can't see it on mine either.
