TrustUrBux Review


I joined TrustUrBux because it advertised that they would pay up to $0.01 for viewing their ads and has 10 ads a day. That means that there’s a potential to earn $0.10 per day just from direct clicking. Added with an okay 40% referral program, I thought I’d give it a shot. But, this one didn't work out.

Company Background

TrustUrBux is a relatively new company with its domain registered in April of 2008. The website is registered through GoDaddy.com with bogus contact information. I couldn’t find any other information on the company. So, right off the bat, some of the technical information regarding the company is a bit shaky.

How to Earn Money

Members can earn credit towards their accounts by clicking on links, reading ads, signing up for offers, and read e-mails. I had around three ads available to me per day at the $0.001 to $0.002 range. That is nowhere near the “up to” rate of $0.01. The site also offers various types of premium membership from $30/year to $10/week, but at this time, I would have only received access to 3 extra premium ads. Even at the $0.01 rate, membership probably wouldn’t be worth it.

TrustUrBux has a 40% earnings from referrals. With the purchase of additional premium memberships, the earnings from referrals can get as high as 60%. However, since the ads are so cheap and so few are offered each day, it’s hard to see how that would add up.

The one good thing about this site is that it has a very low minimum payout limit at $3.00. Then again, it’s easy to see why because of the very low earning power from the membership. Even at $3.00, it would take quite a long time with a well-developed downline in order to hit the minimum payout mark.

My Impression

After taking a firsthand look at what is really offered in the members area, I decided not to participate in this program. This program would simply take too much time for the very little earning power it provides. In the announcement section, they note that they’ve made payments of $280, $234, and $97 in the month of September. That is a payout of $611 to its 6079 active members. Although it is only the payout amount and not the credit amount, paying on average of $0.10 per member in a month doesn’t sound very appealing. I would look for some other higher-paying sites before turning to this site for your clicking time.
