TIPS & Rules when doing OFFERS

ClixSense offers numerous ways for their members to earn. One of the newest implements is the ‘Offers’ category within your member area.

If you’re new to doing ‘Offers’, you may find some tips in this topic, that will help you.

First, lets look at some of the types of offers you might see. If you don’t see them now, you might see them later because ClixSense will be adding more offers. Keep in mind, this info here may not be categorized exactly to ClixSense Offers categories. Just pointing out the various types of offers you may see, now or in the future.

Trial Shopping: This refers to buying a product or service on a trial period. For example, a hosting company that charges $10 per month, may offer a one month free trial and offer an immediate $1 paid to you for joining and agreeing to two months service. Another example might be a cosmetic company that offers to pay you $5 for trying their facial moisturizer. It is very important that you read the instructions of the trial offer AND that you read the TERMS at the trial offer website. Usually in trial shopping you WON’T always be credited immediately. This makes sense of course because you may cancel the purchase. Therefore it might take a few days to several weeks to see the earnings credited to your account.

CashBack Shopping: This refers to buying a product or service, and getting either a percentage or a dollar figure amount, back. An example might be, making a purchase for a pair of slacks that cost $20 and receiving $5 cash back. Another example might be purchasing a kitchen appliance that cost $100 and receiving 5% cash back. Here again, it might take a few days for you to see the amount credited to your account. Because a member might cancel their purchase. 

Daily Surveys: These may be completed as a norm, once per day unless stated otherwise. Once per days, normally means once per 24 hours. Daily surveys function similar to ClixSenseResearch surveys (if you are familiar with those). These surveys often have a PRE-Screening AND a Screening process. This means when you click to do a daily survey, you may be ask a serious of questions such as your name, email address, age, etc. That is the pre-screening process. You may then see a page that says you can go on to do the survey. This is because according to the pre-screening it APPEARS you MAY qualify to do their clients survey. You are then directed to the survey screening. Now you may be instructed to answer some of the same questions again, such as your name, email address, age, etc. This is the client screening your information to see if you truly qualify to take the survey. If you qualify, the client will continue forward with questions. Once you complete the survey, you will be credited at ClixSense for the amount stated. Some times, after you complete the daily survey, it will ask you if you want to do another....click NO. There is no point in you doing another because it is a DAILY survey and will only credit for the one survey you completed. Some times you will NOT qualify to take the survey and it may ask you if you want to try again...click YES. Just because you did not qualify on the first try, does not mean you won’t qualify the second try. Keep trying til you qualify or there is no more tries.

You can complete one daily survey for each of the daily surveys offered.

IF you try a daily survey and it says there is no surveys today for you to do, close it and come back later.
Some times if you wait an hour or so, try again, you get to take the survey.

Survey Combos: For lack of a better term, I will call these ‘Survey Combos’. These usually function a tad similar to a survey because they ask you questions but they usually have many pages of offers that you must check no or yes to. Some times, you can ‘skip’ through some of the pages that present offers you are not interested in. Follow the instructions as stated in the info for that offer in ClixSense. IF it says do the first two pages, I suggest to you to take that offer all the way to it’s end.

SignUps: As the name implies, many of these offers will pay for you to sign up to their program or offer. Some times, the sign up process is very simple. Other times, it may be more indepth, wanting you to do a bit more than just fill in your name and email address. You must do what the offer is wanting you to do in order to get credited.

Downloads: These vary but as the name implies, the offer will want you to download something. Often it is a toolbar of sorts but it can be other things too. It might be a report or ebook. It might be some sort of a notification bar about shopping or coupons or something else. You must follow the instructions completely. Some of these may credit immediately and some it may take a few days for it to credit. Some may have terms that require you to keep the downloaded item on your computer for a specific period of time, before being credited.

Games: This can be a variety of things but pertaining to games. Some will pay you for trying out their game. Some may require you to play a game for a specific period of time. Some may want you to download a game. Read the instructions.

Free: There are all kinds of offers and most offers are free unless it’s something such as shopping that requires a purchase. ClixSense will put most of all the free to earn offers in this category.

Other Offers: Some offers are kind of tough to put them into any particular category. As long as they are free, in ClixSense you will see them in the ‘Free‘ category. For example, you might find a Credit Card offer. The credit card offer is free but you must submit application for it and must be approved for it. Offers like credit cards, may take some days to credit because of the approval process. Some offers, like credit cards in this example, may want you to confirm it ...such as in actually receiving the credit card and activating it.

Before we go into the Tips, it’s important to know that you should not complain here on the forums about an offer not crediting to your account. IF you have a legitimate issue you need to submit a support ticket. What would be a legitimate issue in which you would contact ClixSense support? Well, let’s say you took up a credit card offer that will pay you $15 and you applied, were approved, and activated the card...you followed all the instructions for the card but after a couple of months or the time allotted for the earnings, you were not credited. That would be a good reason to submit a support ticket. When submitting the support ticket do NOT play hopscotch. Make sure you give support the complete information, that you did such and such credit card, your name for the credit card is, the name of the credit card offer...all the pertinent information (do not give credit card number). Doing this, they can submit to that offer in question and relay the info so you can get credited. And by relaying the info as complete as you can, everyone will save time and you’ll get your earnings a lot faster.

Submitting a ticket for a survey offer not crediting, is a big NO. Complaining here on the forums that a survey did not credit, is a big NO. The reason why you shouldn’t really should go without saying. The point is, there is such a wide array of reasons as to why a survey did not credit. For the most part, it is impossible to pin point so no point in complaining about it. It’s also impossible to do anything about. It’s like eating a sandwich, once you’ve ate it, it’s gone and that is that. Another reason why there is no point in complaining is because ClixSense is NOT the owner of the companies making the offers. ClixSense has already relaid to you the following:

Conversions: Please be advised that not all offers will convert, we apologize for this. We do not get any information from the advertiser regarding this but we ask that if you attempt it again at a later date to please follow the instructions closely and to take your time. The reasons why an offer may not convert include but are not limited to:

You are not from the geographical location required by the advertiser;

You entered invalid/fake information;
Your email or other information is already in the advertiser's database;
You did not let the advertiser's site load completely;

TIPS

1) PREPARE - This is the first thing you should do before doing offers.
a - Clean out your email account, make sure your spam folder is empty
b - Make sure you are using a good free web based email account (strongly suggest gmail)
c - Do offers when you have Time without Interruption
d - Turn off Ad Blockers
e - Clear history before beginning each offer
f - Clear cache before beginning each offer
g - Clear cookies before beginning each offer
h - Use IE browser when possible. Use FireFox browser if IE is not possible. Other browsers most often work but with offers, the two stated are the best.

2) WATCH - Keep an eye on your email account after completing an offer.
a - Some offers may send an email with a confirmation link. It's an important to check your email immediately after completing an offer.
b - Be sure to check your spam folder for email message containing confirmation link after completing an offer. Often, they hit the spam folder.
c - If the offer you completed, credited the stated earnings to your ClixSense account immediately, you don't necessarily have to look for a confirmation email.

3) FOLLOW to the END - Complete the offer.
a - The offer instructions might simply state to complete the first two pages. Go further if there is more than two pages.
b - If the offer instructions say to do the first 1, 2, 3, 4, etc pages, keep an eye on your email as it's highly possible a confirmation link will arrive in your email....if it does, you can click to confirm and you don't have to proceed forward doing more of the pages

4) SUBMIT HONEST INFO - Inaccurate information can eventually boot you permanently.
a - Always submit your name, address, age, etc with accurate information.
b - Don't focus on what might be, stay honest, some you will qualify for, some you won't. You can't win by fibbing.

5) DON'T ATTEMPT OFFERS DONE ELSE WHERE - You could be booted from that offer company.
a - Create an offline offers sheet or notebook.
b - Write down the exact name of the offer you completed.
c - If you do offers else where, it is extremely important to not repeat the offer here or any where else. This is why it can be important to keep a notepad. If you don't, you might find yourself doing the same offer again either here or else where and then that company giving you a permanent boot.

Oh, another thing  to make you aware of, is the fact you may click on some of these offers else where, such as in searching within google, a ptc, bux site, browsing the internet, etc. You may not realize you have a cookie on your computer from visiting offers sites some where at some time, before here. This is one major reason, you should clear cookies, cache, history before doing each offer.
