TaketheGlobe has a rough road ahead

TTG has long been closed down, I thought I'd keep this here as a reference

TTG or TaketheGlobe has been a real good PTC for me, this is a fact. The stand out feature of the site isn't just the earnings but it is run by an admin whom has kept all it's members informed of the progress and the problems that it has been happening.

The test of a person is what they do when problems arise, those whom quit will continue to do this in thier life, whereas those that ride the rough waves and come out the other side are labelled as heroes.

Last year, Bryan and his family went through a massive wave which almost cost him something more than his PTC site, that is, the life of himself and his family. When he finally got back from a doomed trip he had found a member had ripped him off at TTG when they reversed $6,000 of advertising.

To compound matters, V2 of TTG ran into problems when he hired PHP Coders which didn't have it in them to do the job properly. So the expense of hiring them ate into profits, and now he has to hire even more coders to fix up a mess which was not his doing.

For a short time, there was hope when he thought he had a major investor, only for the bad news that they decided to bail out at the last moment and so talks are in session with other potential investors.

More information has been revealed regarding V2 of TTG, such as Instant CashOuts for Upgraded Members and Rented Referrals. I guess what I'm waiting for is the release of V2 because it is a signal that all things are heading in the right direction.

Income from the features V2 has will provide a massive amount of income for Bryan because he will be introducing income streams which have proven to be successful at other Get paid To Sites. It will definitely bring financial stability to the site and that's the real key of TaketheGlobe.

The admin is looking for a long term solution, he's not going to forget Free Members which is something I hate about other PTC sites which have been put in the same boat. I am more keen to see the release of V2, but for now, waves are getting higher, so grab your board and let's surf those puppies.

When things go bump in the night

Last month was for most parts bumpy, some of the new sites I had signed up to decided to pack thier bags and leave town. It was pretty typical of the PTC scene and was a sad reminder of how shakey it is to earn money from clicking ads.

The standout site was NeoBux, I was able to cash out $12 which I really need to post proof at some stage. It allowed me to buy a month membership for Rapidshare which I've used daily grabbing some of the latest television episodes which I can't get in New Zealand.

I guess the word of the moment is perserverance, to ride out the hard times and hope that another "NeoBux" site will emerge. In the meantime, low earning sites like ClickSia has been doing fine, it's slow earnings but at least it is a stable PTC. AdverBux seems to be ticking over nicely.

TaketheGlobe has been running into some troubles with V2 of their site, thier initial backer for some odd reason decided not to invest. The site seems to be in limbo, we're all waiting until the launch of V2. The best thing about the site is that the admin has been keeping us informed of the progress, so it still is my preferred PTC by a huge margin.

Perserverance, a nice sounding word but one which requires much patience, and so we wait, while the days roll by. Perhaps it may be time to test out some new PTC sites that have been popping up, or maybe I should keep to those low earning PTC sites which are more stable.
