Why don't you try to earn on Flixya by just watching and uploading your favorite videos and photos?



This program works the same as Shareapic but with slight differences between them.

Your Adsense account is still secure and your payment details and other informations are not accessible to Flixya.

If you sucessfully completed the requirements, you can now start earning by uploading videos from Youtube, Google Video, Metacafe, Veoh, Revver and other related programs. You can also upload your photos on any category like personal photos, celebrities, travels, pets, cars, sports, anime and etc. Blogs and community services for inviting other people to view your own customed gallery are also offered. Perhaps my favorite part of this program is that you can easily track all your pageviews count on your account section. Giving you a quick peek on your latest stats.

Im still new from Flixya but it really works fine to me. From my first 3 hours in the program, I already recieved 52 pageviews with just less than 10 videos I uploaded. That's a good start for a newcomer like me aside from the fact that I easily got addicted to the site.

The blog of your advertiser has a direct link to his own blog URL. Whenever somebody clicked it, that will directly send him to that owner's blog. So you are having a win-to-win situation with other party.

Entrecard uses credits as the currency of the network. It used to buy advertisement space on other blogger's Entrecard. There are 3 ways to get credits in this program: One is when you drop 1 credit on someone else. Second is when somebody will drop their credit to your card. Lastly, is when someone buy advertisement space on your Entrecard widget. Remember that this program is 100% free and credits has no monetary value or whatsoever.

I've tried it for two days and Im still amazed with the results (sounds like Im having a commercial for diet pills). Im having more traffic 3 times than my average per day. Can you believe it? Well, after I checked my Adsense pageviews I fell on my seat in disbelief. Got the picture?! Good, now your learning from your photography lesson.
