FAQS
NeoBux - Frequently asked questions
How much do I earn for each ad that I view
That depends on the type of advert you've viewed and the type of account you own
At NeoBux there are currently three types of ads
Mini Ads: These have a 15 second duration and pay you $0.005 irrespective of your membership status
Standard Ads: They are the most common. They have a white background and give us up to $0.02 each
Extended
Ads: These are selected by advertisers who want their advert to draw
more attention than the rest. They have a blue background. Golden users
are paid $0.02 while the pioneer and standard are paid $0.015 for
viewing an extended advertisement
How much do I earn for each ads my referrals view
That depends on the type of account you have and the type of advert your referral has viewed
Golden Members receive $0.01 per referral click and $0.02 if it is a referral viewing an extended advert
Standard members receive $0.005 per referral click and $0.01 if it is a referral viewing an extended advert
How many ads can I get to see
That depends on the type of account you have
Standard members have a minimum of 4 adverts per day
Golden members have a minimum of 9 adverts per day
Emerald members have a minimum of 10 adverts per day
Sapphire members have a minimum of 10 adverts per day
Platinum members have a minimum of 12 adverts per day
Diamond members have a minimum of 12 adverts per day
Ultimate members have a minimum of 15 adverts per day
Throughout
the day you can still view some adverts that advertisers purchase, but
they do not last as long as the others above. Depending on the number of
clicks the advertisers purchase, we are able to click more adverts but
they are irregular
How long do I have to wait to receive my money
All
you have to do is reach the minimum amounts in order to request a
payment, currently they start from $2.00 for the first payment, $3.00
for the second, $4.00 for the third and it continues in $1.00 increments
up to $10.00 where it remains
Once you've reached the minimum amounts you can request a payment and you will receive it instantly
What is AutoPay
AutoPay fees vary depending on the type of account and the amount of referrals you have, you can see the prices on this table
When
we rent referrals they are ours for one calendar month. Before the end
of the month we have to pay them for another 30 or 60 (10% discount) or
90 (18% discount) days if we want them to continue working for us.
NeoBux gives us some statistics on each referral
In
this case and underlined in red we see that one of my referrals will
have to be paid in 67 days, the second in 36 days and the third in 56
days if I want to keep them working for me. Autopay is recommended to
have referrals paid slowly and avoid paying them in large amounts
The
AutoPay feature is used to pay referrals for another day. The advantage
of this is that in the end you can save 10% on renewing costs
Autopay works like this
From
the day you rent referrals their days remaining decreases 1 per day
except when you have autopay enabled. Lets assume that the first day
they could not click, but in the second day they could, the first day
the referral will lose a day and you will not earn any money although on
the second day, the referral is automatically paid at a discounted rate
for another day so their days remaining stays the same, we rent the
referrals for a month in advance and when they click an advert they are
paid for another day in advance with a 10% discount, for standard
members, autopay only works when the rented referral has 20 or more days
remaining so it is prudent to keep all of your referrals above 20 days
if you have the autopay feature enabled
To summarize
The
first time your referral clicks an advert per day a predetermined
amount of money is automatically deducted from your rental balance, if
you do not have enough money in your rental balance it is deducted from
your main balance, the money which is deducted is at a discounted rate
If they do not click, no money is deducted and their days remaining decreases by 1 day
It
only works for referrals with more than 20 days remaining, exceptions
are 18 days for Sapphire members, 14 days for Diamond members and 10
days for Ultimate members
You save 10% renewing costs on the days that the referral clicks
Facts to consider
On neobux you rent referrals for a calendar month, when the days remaining reaches 0, the referral is removed from your list and you will lose him or her
You
can pay to extend the referrals for another 30 days, another 60 days at
a 10% discount or another 90 days at a 20% discount
Can I get more details on direct referrals
First of all, you can only have direct referrals after you meet these conditions
- Been a member for at least 30 days
- Have made at least 100 clicks
After these conditions are met, the direct referral you can have will be based first on the following limit
- Standard: 30
- Pioneer: 60
- Golden: 200
- Golden+Pioneer: 250
- Golden/Emerald: 300
- Golden/Sapphire: 300
- Golden/Platinum: 400
- Golden/Diamond: 400
- Golden/Ultimate: 800
Depending on how many days you've been registered, all those days, minus the first 30, will count towards a limit increase
This means that the older member you are, the more referrals you may have
The amount will be based on your current membership/pack and the days you're registered (minus 30). This amount will vary and is explained below
- Standard/Pioneer = Days-30 divided by 4
- Golden (without a pack) = Days-30 divided by 2
- Golden (with a pack) = Days-30
For example, if you have been registered for 330 days (which minus 30 gives 300 days)
- Standard= 30 + (300/4) = 105
- Golden = 200 + (300/2) = 350
- Golden (Ultimate) = 800 + 300 = 1100
If a user registers with your username he/she won't be your referral if you haven't met the 30 days/100 clicks condition or have reached the limit of allowed direct referrals
You can always remove all direct referrals you don't want to make room for new ones
How do I recycle
Recycling a referral will cost up to $0.07 for each referral. Only rented referrals can be recycled and when they are recycled we are given a referral who is active in exchange for the inactive one. With active, I mean that we are given a replacement who has at clicked at least 10 adverts in the last 5 days
To recycle a referral you can click on the green arrows that are in the same row: and then confirm by clicking on "YES" or if you have enough funds in your rental balance you can select individual check boxes and scroll to the foot of the page and select I want to recycle them on the drop down menu
Why are referral clicks not credited to me
When this situation occurs it is usually because you have not made any clicks or at least not enough on the previous day. According to section 3.7 of the terms of service if one day you do not click adverts, the following day you will not be credited for the clicks your referrals make. you must ensure that the adverts you view are according to the neobux server time and not only according to your local time as the terms of service 3.7 is based on server time
If you are not credited for your referral clicks you can look at your account summary page by clicking on your username or directly from here and check the two advertisements click charts. If 0 clicks appear on the server time chart then this is the reason why this is happening and you should click at a different time but at the same time daily and ensure that the clicks are being credited according to the server time chart
I have activated the AutoPay and I lost referrals, why
AutoPay only works for the referrals who have 20 or more days until their next payment date, exceptions apply to the golden packs. If a referral clicks on a day it only increases their next payment date by 1 day so if the rented referral does not click very often in the end they will fall out of the autopay 20 days remaining requirement and their days remaining will decrease by 1 per day until you extend them so they will have 20 or more days remaining
Why do my referrals have unusual names
When a rented referral has a name such as "R123456" this means for privacy reasons the username is hidden. All of us can hide our user name at any time so that other people do not know who we are for whatever reason. To hide your name you have to go to the personal setting page here and look for "Show my username" using the drop down menu select yes or no, usernames are hidden by default
Is my rented referral profiting when I rent him
No one knows this, and it is not a concern so long as the rented referral clicks enough adverts to pay for themselves for another month and more which would be your profits, if a rented referral is not active enough for your liking you always have the option to recycle them for a small fee
What is the Rental balance
The rental balance is a balance that only serves to rent more referrals and to pay expenses incurred by recycling and extending your rented referrals. Money in the rental balance can not be transferred to your main balance, used to purchase membership upgrades, nor can it be cashed out
When can I click my adverts again
Each country has a different time. To see it you have to click on "View Advertisements" (the top) and on the left you will see
From that time onwards you can click again. This time is based on your local time. Again, ensure the clicks you make are based on the server time
Types of Memberships: Upgrading
NeoBux: Upgrading to Golden and beyond
At NeoBux there are 2 types of memberships
- Standard: These are free members of NeoBux. This is the basic membership and you do not need to pay any money for it. It has the least benefits. Everyone starts here
- Golden: You have to pay $90.00 to upgrade. Anyone can pay and get it, once you have been a member at least 15 days and have rented referrals at least twice. It has many advantages such as $0.01 for every referral click, discounted renewal costs, statistics for each referral, you can use the rental queue and there are 5 more adverts giving you a total of 9 minimum per day. Being Golden DOUBLES your referral income
Standard Membership
| Per click: | $0.010 (standard exposure) $0.015 (extended exposure) |
| Per referral click: | $0.005 (standard exposure) $0.010 (extended exposure) |
Golden Membership
| Per click: | $0.010 (standard exposure) $0.020 (extended exposure) |
| Per referral click: | $0.010 (standard exposure) $0.020 (extended exposure) |
We also have mini exposure advertisements where users earn $0.005 for each click without referral commissions
Additionally there are add-ons called "Golden packs" which enhance the golden memberships impressive features
Currently I have the Diamond pack. This gives me a free recycle time of 10 days instead of 14, which I use now instead of paying for recycling. I also have 15 vacation days so I will earn from my referrals even on days I can't click my ads
Each pack has different features, choose which are most important for you. Of course the Ultimate pack has all the features and better ones as well

What are referrals
A referral is someone who works for you
A referral receives what everyone receives when they view adverts: Money
But if a user views an advertisement and is your referral, you also get paid
Ultimately, a referral is another member like us, every time they view an advertisement and earn money, we also earn from it, you lose nothing
There are currently two types of referrals and two methods of acquiring them them
Direct Referrals
Users who register under you by putting your user name as their referrer
Rented referrals
You initially rent them for one calendar month, but you will be extending the rental time each month
So how is it done
There are currently three methods to obtain referrals
Use the banner on your site or a link in your email signature
The banner is an image and a link which you can use on any website and when people click it they automatically appear as your referral after they register so long as you have met the 30 days of membership and 100 click requirement. You can get the banners in your back office
Sharing
Just tell everyone you know to register with NeoBux and type your username in the "Referrer" field during the registration process but do not send spam emails as it can lead to your account being suspended, have a thorough read of the terms of service if you have any doubts
Rent
You can rent referrals that work for you. You simply pay NeoBux for your referrals. Those you rent are active, meaning they have clicked at least 10 advertisements in the last 5 days
The prices per month are
The number of rented referrals that each user can have is relative to his/her type of membership/pack as follows
The rental balance is used to rent referrals and pay for extending them
You can deposit money into your rental balance by going to your account page by going to your account summary
You can transfer money into the Renting Balance through your Main Balance (once you've earned some from ad clicking)/Payza (Alert Pay)/PayPal/Netteller
BUT do NOT rent them until your second day of clicking! I did mine the first day and regretted it because you only get paid on referral clicks if you have clicked your own ads the day before
So I paid for a day of referrals that I couldn't possibly get paid for since I wasn't even a member the day before! Don't make that mistake, wait for day 2 to rent them
How do I rent referrals
We first go to the administration page of our account by clicking on our user name in top right hand corner
Make sure your RENTAL BALANCE is funded
Click on REFERRALS in the bar above the chart
Mine is grayed out because I already rented referrals this week. When it is green, you can rent
You can choose how many referrals you want to rent in the next window
They come in packages of 3/10/20/30/50/70/100
The options to renew are
- Autopay(10% Discount) - Autopay pays to extend a referral an extra day when that referral clicks.
- 30 Day Renewal
- 60 Day Renewal (10% Discount)
- 90 Day Renewal (18% Discount)
- 150 Day Renewal (25% Discount)
- 240 Day Renewal (30% Discount)
It will bring you to a screen that shows your rented referral listing. Here you can manage your referrals that you have through recycling and extending. You can extend your referral through this page by checking the box next to them and scrolling to the bottom of the page
In the table you can see several columns
- Referral: This is the user name of your referral or a masked number that identifies you anonymously
- Your referral since: Here you can see the date and time you first rented or recycled this referral
- Next payment: Displays the days remaining for that referral to expire, pay them for another month if you do not want to lose them.
- Last click: Displays the day that the referral made their last click
- Clicks: Displays the total amount of clicks that the referral has made whilst they have been working for you
- Avg: An abbreviation of average which is calculated from since the first day you acquired the referral
AutoPay
AutoPay offers a 10% discount from regular 30 day renewing and can be very useful. AutoPay will pay to keep a referral an extra day instead of monthly. AutoPay pays for each referral that click today to be renewed one day. Autopay is easy to use as you do not have to worry about extending your referrals if they click daily
If you have 1000 rented referrals and a referral clicks that day, $0.0070 will be taken out of your account to pay that referral and extra day
Recycling
It costs money to recycle that referral, and it is better to recycle them instead of keeping a bad referral who will not earn you money. Normally it will cost $0.07 to recycle a referral, but with certain Golden Pack upgrades it is cheaper.
Referrals that have not clicked in 14 days are recycled automatically and for free by the system. Strategically, it is more cost effective to recycle them before 14 days as you are paying rent on that spot with no income coming in from it. But waiting for automatic recycle is an option
MOST IMPORTANTLY: You must click your 4 (or 9 if you are golden) ads every day if we want to receive money from your referrals tomorrow. If you do not make any clicks in a day according to server time, you will not be credited any of the clicks your referrals make on the following day. This can be read in more detail in section 3.7 of the NeoBux terms of service
Make sure you understand the difference between a RENTAL SLOT and a REFERRAL. When you rent referrals, you are paying for one month's rent in advance. You are paying for a RENTAL SLOT, occupied by one REFERRAL
The REFERRAL in each slot can be changed (recycled) as many times as necessary to get a good clicker into the slot, but the slot is still rented for 1 month only until you extend it
You do not ever want to let that RENTAL SLOT expire, so if the number of days left to renewal get below 20 days, you are going to have to EXTEND the rent on that slot by checking the box and then going to the roll down menu at the bottom and choosing a length of time to rent it for. The longer you rent it for, the bigger your discount price
If you have autopay turned on, every day the referral clicks will extend the rent for one day at a 10% discount. But if the referral doesn't click often enough to keep that slot extended, you will have to pay to extend it instead
This is where you can save a ton of money by extending for up to 240 days with a 30% discount. It costs more up front, but allows for more profits sooner down the line
Personally, I have started to extend my referral slots the same day I rent them for at least 90 days or longer if I have the funds. And I have turned autopay off. By extending now, I save more money and even if I have to recycle the referral in the slot, the slot won't expire for at least 3 months
As I said, it is more costly to do it this way upfront, but it will allow for more and bigger profits sooner in the long run
How do I make money
NeoBux Start Earning
Advertisements
are one way to earn in Neobux
Click on the VIEW ADVERTISEMENTS link in your back office
You can also get more ads throughout the day as occasionally an extra ad will show. Keep checking in
If you have already clicked your ads then they will be grayed out. If it is an ad that needs to be clicked, then the ad and the star will be yellow (Mine are gray here
Click on each ad box, one at a time. You will then see a red dot. Click on that dot. This is to thwart auto-clicking robots
The advertisement will open in a new window or tab. At first, it will say WAITING FOR ADVERTISEMENT TO LOAD. Then there will be a timer bar. Then it will tell you that your account has been credited with money
Then click on the next ad, and so on until you have clicked all your ads for the day
Once you finish viewing these Ads you will receive money and be qualified to earn from your referral's clicks tomorrow (more on rented referrals in next step
VERY IMPORTANT!! In order to be credited for your referral clicks, you must click according to server time
According to the NeoBux Terms of Service
3.7. The clicks you earn from referrals are directly related to the clicks you make
If you click at least 4 advertisements being a Standard member or you click at least 9 advertisements being a Golden member, you'll receive all clicks made from your referrals
If you click less than that, the maximum you will receive is only the amount of clicks you've made multiplied by the number of referrals you have
The referral clicks will be calculated based on the clicks you made on the previous day
These calculations are based on the server time which can be seen in the "View Advertisements" page
The reset time is assigned to your account when you first register. It is random and can never be changed. This shows you when your ads will be reset YOUR TIME
The server time is on the right and you need to make sure you click ads only ONCE per day, server time. It is possible to click ads twice (8 ads per day) if your ads reset before midnight server time
In the image above, you notice that my ads are grayed out yet it says in the yellow warning banner
This is because I made a rookie mistake and clicked on my ads a second time, after they had reset, but during the same server day. Now I am stuck having to click between reset time and last 90 minutes of the server day (between 4:30 - 6:00 AM my time - UGH) or I won't get paid on my referral clicks the next day
Eventually I skipped a day of referral earnings and got back into a normal clicking time, but this is a great example so you don't make the same mistake! Always make sure you click after the server time has gone into the next day, even if your ads are reset and clickable again! The best way to do this is to just click at pretty much the same time every day. But if you get up early or get home late, make sure you check server time before you click those ads, if you have already clicked them for the day, server time
