Neobux Challenge Update

Right, so this is now really beginning to go down the pan. My 3 clickers have fallen into a pattern of idleness. No-one has clicked for 5 days and I've had to recycle 2 of them. Averages for all were barely over 1.1 so as things stand, I'm making a loss now on my $5 investment.

I can hardly say i'm surprised as I've been skeptical of this renting referrals scheme since I started (and is why I started to test it for myself). Things might pick up now I've recycled 2 of them but I shall not be holding my breath for any great period of time.

The Neobux Challenge - SLOWING DOWN....

Uh oh.

My clickers are really slowing the pace. I'm banging in my minimum 4 per day without fail since I started this but sadly my 3 are less prolific. Stats are beginning to tell a sad story.....

Clicker 1 - last click 2012/12/06 - average 1.474
Clicker 2 - last click yesterday (THANK YOU!) - average 1.714
Clicker 3 - last click 2012/12/09 - average 1.286

I was beginning to think this might actually start to prove worthwhile around the time of my previous post and that I would be proved wrong... alas, things seem to be going the way I had expected.

Here's hoping for an upturn in fortune.

The Neobux Challenge - Day 16

I haven't updated in this whole Neobux Challenge thingy so thought I ought to! We're on day 16 now and a steady pace seems to have taken hold.

I have extended all 3 of my clickers to 150 days now and am desperately remembering to try to click myself each day. It's becoming harder than I thought but haven't missed one yet.

My averages look as follows based on a total of 84

Clicker 1: 2.154
Clicker 2: 2.000
Clicker 3: 1.500

I still can't work the maths out on this but have been told each need to maintain an average of around 1.3 I believe to break even. So... so far so good if they maintain this pace.

Neobux Challenge - Day... I've lost count!

Been a bit quiet from me on the whole Neobux challenge thing. This is primarily because I got bored... and thought you probably would too if I updated daily. Suffice to say, I've lost my enthusiasm for the whole thing now and am clicking myself the bare minimum of 4 orange ones and any juicy bigger clicks (like 1 whole cent!).

My 3 amigos have picked up the pace a wee bit but are hardly stretching themselves. Here's how they are doing:

clicker 1: Total of 8 clicks at an average of 2.000
clicker 2: Total of 16 clicks at an average of 2.286
clicker 3: Total of 16 clicks at an average of 2.286

I haven't a clue if this is good or not but I'm guessing it's not great. They seem to be doing just enough to not get the dreaded recycle treatment! I'll give them a few more days and see where we are then. I also think I'll start extending the ones that are performing well.

The Neobux Challenge Day 4 & 5

... well, my recycled clicker is just as bad as my previous one and isn't clicking at all! The other 2 are doing OK and have 8 clicks each with an average of 2. Not the kind of form that will make my million though....

I can see disappointment on the near horizon. Think I might extend the 2 that are performing though to cut my loses. Come 27th of this month I can rent again and I think I might go for broke and put all the rest of my money into more referrals and extend them to 150 days.

The Neobux Challenge - Day 3

I've doubled my clicks! I now have a total of 8 from my rented referrals after 2 days. That's the 4 from yesterday from ref 1 (who's been lazy today and had no clicks) and 4 from ref 2 from today (who was lazy yesterday and didn't fancy a single click). I imagine both have plenty of referrals and are doing their minimum 4 clicks... or it's a scam and a robot is doing the minimum so I don't recycle them. The third is still not playing ball... and is going to be recycled today! Still nowhere near breaking even after 2 days though. I wish I had me as one of my referrals, because I'm still clicking like a madman. Someone out there is very lucky indeed and will be profiting heavily from my index finger! Hopefully tomorrow will yield more profitable clicking!

The Neobux Challenge - Day 2

Okey dokey. Day 2 commenced and I was able to purchase my 3 rented referrals for a period of 30 days at a total value of $0.60.

And now... let the clicking commence!

I think my guys have opted more for the tortoise approach rather than the hare. In the first 24 hours of activity, between them they have amassed a mighty 4 clicks! That has all come from one individual. The remaining 2 are idly sitting by waiting for me to lose money. I'll give them another 2 days and if still nothing, they're for the chop!

Me on the other hand, I can't get enough of the clicking! It's become something of an obsession. I'm now logging in hourly and clicking wherever possible with the conviction of an addict (which I hope I'm not becoming, as to some, this whole process could easily be construed as gambling... because it basically is).

I'm hoping day 3 will produce an upsurge in clicking from my 3 amigos... but I'm not holding my breath.

Current balance without referrals has lept to an impressive $0.225. Who needs these guys? I'm gonna make a million on my own at this rate!

Tune in tomorrow for more enthralling excitement.

The Neobux Challenge - Day 1

I put the cat amongst the pigeons a little recently on a forum board suggesting Neobux was a waste of time and effort as after a week of furious clicking I had only earned myself a meager $0.049. It was suggested to me that the only way you can realistically make money on this site is to rent referrals... in other words, speculate to accumulate.

 So... I thought I'd give it a go and run a diary here of how my money is coming along. I am going to invest US$5.00 dollars in this scheme and see where that gets me and how quickly. My understanding of the referral practice is that for $0.60 you can rent 3 referrals for 30 days and hope that they all continue to click as frantically as you. If they don't, for a price you can ditch them... or lose your shirt... or your %5 in this instance.

Being of hesitant and careful nature, I will not be investing my full $5.00 into referrals in one go but will see how my first 3 friends get on. In the meantime, I will be frantically clicking myself recalling memories of Lost, the hatch and the numbers.

Day 1 - opening balance is $0.065

I'm paid up and about to rent my first 3 referrals..... and I've already hit a snag! Apparently I didn't click yesterday at 'server time'. Yikes! What is this? I didn't realise I have to click too? It really is going to be like Lost....

An inauspicious start. Tune in tomorrow for my first referral friends getting underway!
