Who does not know the announcements from the PTC (Paid To Click) sites, which are promising big earnings during sleeping. The same kind of promotion got done from AdFiver. Only stupid ones are investing in such a Ponzi scheme. Real marketing agencies will not trash money at Pay To Click sites. For this reason you'll find only the amateur advertisements from other affiliate marketers and pyramid schemes at PTC sites. All these advertisements have something in common: You should spend your money for getting nothing in return. The promises are so great that each normal person, which has all senses together, get it that the promotion is only scam.

How much in need of money the owner from AdFiver.com is get shown in the following screenshot. There he is offering 10% bonus if you are waiting with the payout 14 days:

With other words the AdFiver admin is at a normal bank not credit-worthy. A bank will charge you only 5% - 10% per year depending on the risk they have. If we are calculate the offer percentage up to one year than it would be 260%. This case shows already that the Pay To Click system from adfiver.com sucks and how money gets destroyed in this system!

That AdFiver is unable to pay gets shown on the next screen shot. There are too many requests for the available funds:

The minimum payout from AdFiver.com is $3. Even this small amount is already not available. What will happen if you are not a free user and you have paid a membership? How your referrals will believe you in the case they are not getting paid? Will they believe you again if you like to sign them up at another site?

It seems that the owner of AdFiver tried to get rich fast. For this reason he has programmed the system quick and dirty. For example you got the message that someone with your IP address has seen the advertisement during the last 24 hours. The reason for this failure has been that the programmer of the system has been too stupid to show only the advertisements at your dashboard which are available for you. Intelligence is commercially not available.

How lazy the admn from AdFiver is gets shown at the upgrade page. There he has tried to get paid members by giving a 10% discount until January 31. The problem is that we have already February 3 and the actual prices for the membership are not shown on the site:

On the membership site you see directly the scam too. If you buy the "Platinum" membership for $70/year you'll get guaranteed 8 advertisements a day. That means you are able to earn $0.08/day * 365 days/year. As you earn in this case $29.20/year you'll lose with this membership $40.80 per year.

You even lose more if you sign up for the "Ultimate" membership. In this case you'll get 12 advertisements a day. In this case you'll lose $202 per year (Earnings $1.20/day * 365 days/year = $438 - $640 discounted membership fee).

In the case you are a paying member than you pay for getting teased from a stupid programmer and have additional the risk that the system breaks down before your membership expires. Shorter membership periods are not getting offered from AdFiver.

You can make only a little bit money with PTC sites if you are a free member. In this case you'll earn around $0.05 per day from your own clicks and have only the risk that you not get paid as soon as you reach the minimum payout. I got the first time paid and now around 2 months later adfiver.com is already not able to pay $3. What can all happen during the time of one year?

littlebux.com is a typical Pay To Cick (PTC) provider. Their domain got registered at September 19, 2014 - 1 year and 119 days ago. Until now they have tried not be a scam site, but now they are getting greedy by changing their payout structure. They are thinking that nothing can happen to them, because they are using a privacy protection service for their domain and no business address is written on their site.

Until now they had a payout between US$ 0.05 and US$ 0.06 per day for their free members. Free members got 4 daily advertisements with a payout of US$ 0.01 each and in average 15 advertisements with a payout of US$ 0.001 each. Paid members get a higher payout for their own clicks and for the clicks of their referrals.

Compared with other Paid to Click (PTC) providers have been littlebux.com on the lower end in their payment structure. An example from the sites, where I have received money as a free member are:

1. US$ 0.20/day are in average paying the incompetent script kiddies from trafficmonsoon.com
   
   
2. US$ 0.08/day in average is paying AdFiver.com
   
   
3. US$ 0.05/day in average is paying clixsense.com, which is already 9 years at the market and do not hide their domain ownership behind an anonymizing service.

With the following posting has the admin (no real name available) announced at the littlebux forum the changes (reducing the payout by 33% for free members) for the free members on Sunday January 17, 2016:

Hi everybody!

I feel like it was yesterday that I was writing the first official topic for LittleBux. So much time has gone by (About 5 months actually) since then, and we're beginning to get a place in this industry as one of the leaders. We are nowhere near that, but we are getting there.

Since we started, we have paid out more than $100,000 to all of you wonderful users. I must admit, when I first started this project, I didn't imagine that we would have reached such an amazing milestone so early on. It's truly amazing to see how rapidly we've grown and how well the industry are treating us. During the next few weeks, we'll have some exciting news for you!

Standard Members Rates IMPORTANT
As of this moment, we have decided to lower the advertisement value for standard membersto $0.005 for the daily advertisements. (Previously $0.01). I know that this change will probably meet a lot of resistance from our standard members - however, it is only done in order to ensure the stability of LittleBux - not necessarily now, but more importantly - in the future.

This change will only affect standard members and only have an affect on the dailyadvertisements. Again, to be clear: your referrals earnings will not be affected by this change.

AdAlert
We've released our first AdAlert feature (which is currently only available for our Ruby andUltimate members).

Once a new advertisement is made available at LittleBux, you'll receive a text message, directly to your mobile phone with an alert! Simply go to your account settings, enable AdAlert, and enter your phone number.

We are currently working on an AdAlert feature for our Standard/Golden members as well.

What will the future bring?
We can't say for sure (if we could, we'd be in another business). One thing we can say though, is that it will not be dull. We have a lot of things planned for 2016, which includes a lot of new features that will help you manage your account and new ways of earning. More news about this very soon.

Upgrade Promotion SALE
We've kicked in 2016 with quite a bang. Almost 100,000 members in less than 6 months, and a total withdrawn sum of over $100,000. That has to be some of the best statistics for a new founded site. You are the reason for that.
That's why we are starting the year with an incredible discount on all our memberships - save up to $50:

Prices for new new upgrades and/or membership extensions:

One Year Golden = $75

One Year Ruby = $285

One Year Ultimate = $705

Click here to see our plans.

These promotions will be available until 18/01 15:00 (servertime)

Already the short time, which is the special offer for the paid memberships is available (less than one day) shows the scam and how needy Littlebux is. It seems that they cannot pay already the hosting fees.

The next problem is that even for the golden membership you'll need at least 13 referrals, which are staying and clicking a full year on the advertisements to earn the same amount like a free member. You are only making no loss in this case if Littlebux is not changing in their payout structure again. As they are trying already a commercial suicide by reducing the payout for the free members in the high of 33% (US$ 0.02) per day you have no guarantee for the future that they will repeat to try the suicide for the case they'll survive now.

If someone takes a look at the homepage from Littlebux.com than you'll see that they have actually 171,771 users and paid out the sum of US$ 105,625.02. If you think now that $105,625.02 is an impressing sum, you need only divide this sum by the amount of users to see that in average got each user paid US$ 0.6149. As their minimum payout is US$ 2.00 you'll can calculate that in average got less than 52,812 from the 171,771 users got paid until now! In this business are seldom some people so stupid and pay a high fee for a membership as they cannot be sure that the site will not change into a scam site like Littlebux now. I think that the paid members can get counted by using the fingers of one hand as Littlebux is only selling yearly memberships.

I have no pity for the stupid ones, which are paid members at Littlebux, and are now making a loss for the reason of losing their referrals. These are the guinea pigs from amateur businessmen and marketing deadbeats. The reason for such changes are mostly the greediness or the wish of getting rich quick from the site owners. Such a behavior like changes at the Littlebux site are in Europe forbidden by the consumer protection law. Maybe one European member brings them in front of the law court for the case Littlebux is surviving the commercial suicide. In any case I hope that a lot of users are now learning that they are not able to buy money for a discount price.

Update January 19, 2016: The new membership fees from Littlebux got published. The Golden: US$ 90/year, Ruby US$ 310/year, Ultimate US$ 755/year. You need now 16 referrals for the golden, 24 referrals for the ruby and 58 referrals for the ultimate membership, which are active on the site for one year, to get a few dollars more than a standard/free member. You know how hard it is to find some referrals and keep them active on the site. Additional you need to be sure that the terms and conditions will not change today or tomorrow again. You have no guarantees that such changes will not happen during the next day or weeks and for this reason I call the actual changes to be a "commercial suicide".

You should ask yourself the question: "How long will stay a standard/free member on the site if he sees that he needs between 50 and 67 days to reach the minimum payout sum of US$ 2.00?". All new members will start as a standard/free member. Only when they are reaching the necessary referrals they will take the risk to upgrade for a paid membership.

Update Jan. 18, 2017: Links for littlebux.com removed as the domain does not exist anymore.
