Here's my first cashout from Twickerz. It's without doubt the biggest cashout I ever made from a PTC website. (2nd place for $230 at Neobux)

This is indeed a proof that PTC can still be considered a money making industry,
and that they system works if you know how to use it.. Awesome payment!

I only remember seeing such payments from "browser" back in the PTCBox days... don't know where he's been though..
It would be cool to have him in our team.. I think I had tried to find him with no luck as his username was very generic..

I don't dare to ask how much you've invested to get this far.. [smiley=z03-lol.gif]
I'll only ask.. how long have you been collecting all of this cash and with how many active refs in average?

Side note.. "It's a long way.. to the top, if you wanna rock n roll!"  [smiley=z06-guitar.gif]

I'll tell you anyway. $8824 invested. I applied a similar strategy to Neobux, i.e., go for the rented refs up until the maximum (4300). Surprisingly, I don't have to recycle them nearly as much as I though I would. Their overall activity is much higher than anticipated. By my excel sheet I estimate liquid profits of $300 per month. When I had that same number of referrals on Neobux I had a liquid profit of $150 per month. Money invested wasn't all that different in both sites (pherhaps a little less on Neobux due to their RR discounts for Ultimate members).
On the direct referral front, a meager 45 referrals had activity in the last 4 days, from my grand total of 390 referrals. That said, no big surprises there. It's not all that different my account at Clixsense.
On the bright side, 25 of my referrals are upgraded members, which means over half of my direct referrals.

To tell the truth, I've had 11 $500+ payments so far myself

Thanks for sharing ruicarlov!

Glad to be among you both guys!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I haven't been posting the payment proofs here because I'm getting paid nearly every day. The reason for that is that the max cashout has been limited to $50 daily due to their internal audit. On the bright side, their payments are now automatic and instant, so no more waiting 1-3 days for payments. On the downside, due to new pricing changes within Paypal, they no longer exempt their members from withdrawal fee.

In short, I've received 22 payments, for a grand total of $1092.2
Since it would take a ridiculous amount of space here to post the images, I'll just post the links.

Congrats on this wonderful twickerz career!
Thankfully there are still some good old programs that have survived PayPal..

Btw, I made at least your last payment proof visible..
I feel the post makes a more "Solid" sense this way.. [smiley=lolx.gif]

Silly Snake, why would my post need to have a solid sense?
Now if we were talking about a "Rui" sense....   [smiley=crazy.gif]

Good news, the daily limit increase to $100
So here's my new proof with this new limit.

Ha! I new there was another one.. my "Spider" sense was tingling..  :D

Anyways.. careful when pulling out big amounts daily.. you never know when PayPal's "Too Many Transactions" sense will call their attention..  :-/

Other than that, awesome payouts! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Considering their size, this is most likely a drop in the ocean.

I think that's kinda backwards thinking. IMHO.

I was actually talking about "your" account.. :)
If you receive too many large payments in a small time it might trigger their alarms on your own activity..
However if it's usual then I guess it's fine..

Yes, but how do we know what that threshold is? Also, I think if you use your account for purchases on other sites like Ebay and merchant sites with your CC, I don't think they are going to hassle you. If your site seems like a money laundering site (which is the type of thing they are looking for)
and not a commission sales person site, then they might want to take a closer look at it.

Maybe we should look up a few lawyers that have dealt with Paypal just in case we need them.

i think if your earnings are growing in a steady pace you should not have to worry. If they suddenly start seeing payments that are six and seven times what you normally get, then they might take a look. If we come across an idea that will create such a situation, then maybe it would be wise to contact PP beforehand so that they know what to expect (kind of like you need to contact your CC company these days before going on vacation so they know you card hasn't been hijacked) . If we do that then maybe we can get an account rep who we can contact if anything bad happens.

As the boy scouts always taught: BE PREPARED!   :)

Are you making a full time income on the web? Are you able to support yourself? I still have a full time job myself but, at the rate things are going assuming my main sites don't crash and burn, I should be able to support myself within one or two years at the very outside. That is one reason I am reinvesting pretty much everything I make   :money  :)

It may even be a wise choice down the road to start my own site or partner up with someone who has one  8-)

I'm still reinvesting, but in terms of monthly profits, it's slightly above $1000. Where I'm living it's enough to get by. My daytime "job" (as in a PhD grant) is $1322. So yeah, a bit more and I'll have another full income. Providing Neobux and Twickerz don't crash and burn, as those two are +80% of my online income.

But I think some major cash turnover is required. As you said, it's not good to be dependent on Paypal. I already got my account limited some time ago, but I managed to remove those limits after sending some documentation.
Since big PTC sites only allow cashout from the processor you invested the most money in, right now I have to use Paypal. I thought about cashing out everything I needed and reinvest through Payza, until the amount invested by both processors is the same. That way I can withdraw unlimited funds from wherever I chose. For Neobux things are a bit more spread out between the three (PP, Payza, Neteller). So I "only" need to compensate $5000 on Payza. For Twickerz I invested everything through Paypal (since they didn't have any cashout fees for that one). Now that there's fees everywhere, I no longer have any advantage in using only Paypal. Not only that, but Paypal only allows me add bank accounts in Portugal or USA. Payza is more flexible. And ever since Neobux cashout fees to Payza are capped at $4, it becomes a better alternative than Paypal.

The problem is those d*mned currency exchange fees. Since I have to withdraw to my bank account and then convert to USD again in the other processor, it's kind of a bummer. I wish I could have an US account...

Here's daily cashouts, all the way to the 31st. This batch totals $665.

A cashout a day keeps the poverty away

Okay, so somebody got a bit lazy with these payment proofs, especially with the trip, the holiday season, and..... oh, who am I kidding. I just got lazy.

So bear with me while I do a little shortcut for these ones:

Who says you can't make any money on penny per click sites. I think the next decade belongs to PPC!

We'll know we have arrived at the peak when we start seeing articles about us in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.

Until then, it is our little secret  8-)

I reinvested a great deal back using Payza, for the New Year Promotions. Starting now, it will be pure cashouts for a while.

They may have trained us now. It seems it is best to save our money for the period between Black Friday and New Year's in order to cash in on all the competing promotions we will be seeing  :)

I already do something like that for Neobux. But that's easier to do, since there are more special dates with discounts. In Twickerz, so far I've only seen in their birthday June 1st and now on New Year celebration.

Yep.. that's a killing right there..  :cool1
We now know it's possible to have a stable income of $100/day using a single PTC site.. :)

Not really. I just had a lot of balance piled up and was caught off guard when they limited cashouts to $100 per day. I don't earn that much daily.

Ok.. my dream has just collapsed..  [smiley=sad.gif]
(Though the "inception" of the idea was working well so far.. lol)

What dream?

Though these last two lately I've been earning $60-70 per day, like I posted on the other topic. Considering I was earning $20 per day before the restructuring, it was one big change, although I believe it's only temporary.
I've got some more three payments, but I'm a bit busy now. I'll probably post them in batch sometime soon.

Hmm, that's a nice idea. Maybe I'll try it soon.

WOW your doing great there.

congrats bro'

For the last couple of months, I had some delays with Payza payments. It seems there's a problem on Twickerz part to add funds to Payza using bank account, so funds are harder to come by. Choosing Paypal to cashout made the process much quicker.

Since I have to post all my payment proofs on Twickerz now, might as well post them here too.
