ClixSense Review 2017: Is ClixSense Legitimate?

September 20, 2017 0
ClixSense is a website that claims to pay you for completing offers, surveys, and simple tasks. It is very popular in countries like Pakistan, India, Phillippines, Indonesia, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia, France, Poland, Romania, United States, Germany, Venezuela, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Kenya, and UAE.
​However, most people are not sure if ClixSense is a scam or is it legitimate. Therefore, I thought of writing a ClixSense Review to clear all your doubts.
So without beating around the bush, let us start with our ClixSense review.


What is ClixSense?

ClixSense is a “Get Paid To” (GPT) website which was founded in February 2007. It started as a Paid to Click website but over the course of time, ClixSense added new ways of making money like Crowdflower tasks, ClixSense offers and paid surveys which soon became very popular among its users.
On 17 July 2017, ClixSense changed its business model to discontinue their core business, PTC ads and clixgrid to concentrate on surveys, tasks and offers.

For more info about Clixsense watch this short video:


Is ClixSense Legitimate?

ClixSense is definitely a legitimate website. It has been paying its members since 2007. Since 2007 Clixsense has paid it's members over $28,273,900 and still counting.

Proof Of Payment

The next question you would ask is: Do you have ClixSense Payment Proof?
The answer to that is => YES



Another big question that people ask is: Can you get rich with Clixsense?

The answer to this is Yes and No, if you are planning to earn money on your own at ClixSense then you can't get rich at all but it is a good alternative if you want to earn some additional income over regular income. It is also good for students to earn pocket money and for house moms to utilize their free time efficiently.

But if you manage to get a good amount of referrals then you can even earn a Full-time income, but it takes a lot more work to earn a full time income. So you have to work hard to achieve a full-time income from clixsense.


Are There Any Charges For Registering With ClixSense?

No, there are no charges ClixSense is absolutely free. You do not have to pay a single dime for registering or making money with ClixSense.

Note: After you Register with ClixSense, make sure to install official ClixAddon for your browser. This simple browser extension will notify you whenever a new task or survey is available for you to complete.
Now that we know ClixSense is legitimate, let us find out various ways you can make money with it along with various ClixSense FAQ's that people have.

Ways Of Making Money With ClixSense:


Below are the various ways for you to make money with ClixSense
  • Taking surveys
  • Completing Crowdflower tasks and many others
  • Completing ClixSense offers
  • ClixSense Daily Bonus
  • Referring others to ClixSense


Let us now understand each method of making money in a little bit detail.

1. Earn With Surveys

Now that Clixsense has discontinued PTC ads, it's primary earnings source, surveys are an excellent way to make money quickly. You need zero skills to complete surveys.
However, availability of survey depends upon your geographic location as well as your demographics. Clixsense has divided all the Countries of the globe into 3 Tiers. Surveys are available in abundance for Tier 1 countries.
The Tier 1 country includes Australia, Austria, Belgium, BrazilCanada, Chile, China, Denmark, Finland, FranceGermany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab EmiratesUnited Kingdom and United States.
Even people from developing countries like India and Pakistan get a lot of surveys. Below is the screenshot showing the number of surveys available for a user.
The pay rate for a survey can vary considerably. Folks from Tier 1 countries can earn in the range of $0.8 to $5 for each survey.
The pay rates are lower for developing countries like India, Pakistan and Phillippines and other countries not included in Tier 1. People from these countries get surveys which usually earn them around $0.3 to $2.5 per survey.

1.1. How To Get More Surveys?

To ensure you get more surveys targeted for your country and demographics, you must first fill up your survey profile. 
You can find the option for filling up your survey profile on the top left corner of your survey page as shown in the image below.

1.2. Is It Safe To Share Personal Details With Survey Companies?

Most survey companies will ask you for more information like Age, Gender, Your Income, Details about your family, etc. It is safe to share such details as the companies will use this data for statistics purpose only.
If you are browsing the internet, you are anyways sharing such data with the website you surf. This is because 99% of websites including Google, Facebook, and Twitter use cookies to record your IP Address, your location, your approximate age, gender, details about the device you are using to access the internet, etc.
So as long as you are not sharing sensitive data like Credit Card Number, Bank Details, Contact Number, Email Id and other information like this, it is totally safe.

1.3. Reason For Disqualification While Completing Surveys

As I have said earlier, most surveys are targeted for a specific audience depending upon the geographic location and demographics.
Apart from this, there are various other factors that decide whether or not you are eligible for a survey or not. These factors include your qualification, your work status, your job profile, the number of people in your family, the technology you use to connect to the internet, the gadgets you own, the vehicles you own, etc. among others.
Usually, the first few questions of the survey will decide whether or not you are eligible for taking the survey.
If you have correctly filled up your survey profile, it will minimize the chances of you getting irrelevant surveys.

2. Earn With ClixSense Tasks

ClixSense tasks are the best way for you to make money. This is especially true if you are not from Tier 1 countries mentioned above. Tasks at ClixSense are provided by a third party company named CrowdFlower.
Most of the top Clixsense earners are usually very active task workers. This is because unlike surveys, tasks are not limited by location and demographics. They are just limited by your talent and the amount of time you can devote to working.
You will be required to complete simple tasks like finding a specific Company information on the internet, classifying products, judging the sentiments of the tweet, etc.

2.1 Do I need any special Skills For Completing Tasks?

CrowdFlower tasks are not as easy as surveys. However, you do not require any special skills to complete these tasks.
To complete CrowdFlower tasks, you just need some basic internet skills along with an ability to follow the instructions mentioned for completing the task.

2.2 How Do I Complete CrowdFlower Tasks?

To complete the tasks, select the "Complete Tasks" under the "Tasks" section of your ClixSense menu. 
You will now see a list of all the tasks available to you along with the level required to complete the task, Pay per task, the number of tasks available and the user rating for that particular task.


Click on the task that you find to be interesting or the one that pays you well.
You will now be taken to CrowdFlower registration page which is a 3rd party solution which provides the tasks to ClixSense. Enter your credentials to sign up with CrowdFlower and login to your account.
Once you sign-in, you will now be taken to the task page.
You will be provided with a set of instructions that will help you understand what exactly you have to do. Each task page may contain multiple questions which you need to answer for completing the task.
However, before you start completing your tasks, it is important to know various modes whiles completing ClixSense Tasks.

2.3. Different modes of ClixSense Tasks

Below are the three modes that you will encounter while completing tasks.
A. Test Mode
Almost all the tasks contain test questions to check whether or not you have desired skills to complete the task. When you open a task, you will first enter the Test Mode.
To pass the test mode, you will have to complete the task with some degree of accuracy which will be specified on the top bar as shown in the screenshot below.

The above task contains 10 questions, and you have to answer 7 questions correctly, that is, maintain a minimum of 70% accuracy level to move to the next mode, that is "Work mode."
If you fail to answer 7 questions correctly, you will enter the "Expelled Mode."
The accuracy required to clear the test mode will be different for each and every task.
B. Work Mode
Once you clear the Test Mode, you will enter the work mode and start making money for each task that you complete.
However, in the work mode, you will get one random test question. If you get this question wrong, your overall accuracy will be affected.
Suppose you answer 7 out of 10 questions correctly in the task as mentioned earlier. Since your accuracy is 70%, you will enter the Work Mode.
But, if you fail to answer the test question in the work mode correctly, you will now have 7 out of 11 test questions correctly. Your accuracy will now be 66.66% which is less than the desired accuracy of 70%.
Your accuracy will now be 66.66% which is less than the desired accuracy of 70%. So you will enter into the expelled mode.
C. Expelled Mode
As the name suggests, in the expelled mode you will be barred from completing the particular task. You can, however, complete other tasks.

2.4. What Are Different Levels of CrowdFlower Tasks

CrowdFlower has a level system to bifurcate people completing the task as per their skills. This is to make sure employers have the choice of filtering less skilled people by restricting the tasks to a higher level task workers.
If you regularly complete the tasks with good accuracy, CrowdFlower will promote you to higher levels and you can than complete more tasks. 
Level 0: If you are just starting with CrowdFlower tasks, you will be placed at Level 0. There are very few tasks available at this level.
So you must complete all the tasks available to you irrespective of whether they pay well or not. This will make sure that you quickly move to Level 1 or above.
To Level up, you must answer at least 100 questions and complete almost 5 different tasks. Your overall accuracy will decide the level you are promoted to.
Level 1: Minimum 70% accuracy needed.
Level 2: Minimum 80% accuracy needed.
Level 3: Minimum 85% accuracy needed.
You can check the number of questions you answered and your overall accuracy level by going to your CrowdFlower Dashboard.

2.5. How Much Money Can I Earn With CrowdFlower Tasks?

The amount of money you can earn with CrowdFlower tasks depend on various factors. Some tasks can be completed very quickly while others take too much of time  and effort to complete for the same pay rate.
However, you can usually earn between $1 to $3 per hour with CrowdFlower tasks. And you will get a $5 bonus for every $50 you make with CrowdFlower Tasks.
At Level 1 and above you will have enough tasks to keep you busy the whole day. So the earning potential is only limited by the time and effort you can devote to complete the tasks.
There are many people who regularly complete over 6000 tasks in a month. You can check the list of Top Workers at ClixSense at the bottom of your Clixsense Tasks Page.

Moreover Clixsense also divides a total of 100$ every week to it's Top task workers. You can see at the end of the screenshot above how the 100$ weekly bonus is distributed by Clixsense.

3. ClixSense Offers

ClixSense also allows you to make money by completing offers from various partner websites like Persona.ly, TrialPay, TokenAds, OfferTorro,  AdScend and some others.
The various types of offers include
Surveys - These surveys are different from regular surveys. However, like regular surveys, these surveys target specific geographic audience so you may or may not qualify for the surveys you attempt.
Shopping - The shopping offers require you to make a purchase from an online store. They are more like cash back offers. I generally do not recommend using these offers unless you need to buy the product.
Signups - These type of offers will require you to signup for various different websites.
Free - This category includes all the offers from the above categories that are free.
For completing each offer, you will earn ClixCents. You can directly convert ClixCents to cash. 100 ClixCents is equivalent to 1 USD.

4. ClixSense Daily Checklist Bonus

You can earn up to 16% daily bonus at ClixSense. So if your total earnings from Surveys, Tasks, and Offers is $1, you can earn up to $0.16 bonus.
The daily bonus consists of the following parts:
A. Daily Checklist
You can earn 16% bonus by completing the daily checklist. For availing the daily checklist bonus, you have to complete the following:
  • Complete 10 tasks
  • Complete 2 offers

B. ClixAddon Bonus
You can earn an additional bonus of 1% by installing the ClixAddon and running it for at least one hour. Following is a screenshot of ClixAddon:

C. Activity Bonus
To earn the Activity bonus of 1%, you have to complete the daily checklist for 3 consecutive days. You will continue to receive the daily bonus for as long as you are able to complete the daily checklist without any gap.
If you fail to complete the daily checklist for one day, the activity bonus will be reset.You will then have to complete the daily checklist again for 3 days so you can receive the bonus again.

5. Earn Money Through ClixSense Affiliate Program

ClixSense has an affiliates program where you can earn money by referring others to ClixSense. This is the best and also the toughest way to make money with ClixSense.

5.1. How Much Can I Earn With ClixSense Affiliate Program?

ClixSense does not restrict the amount you can earn with ClixSense Affiliate program. The more number of active referrals you have more will be your earnings.
The referral commission you can earn is divided into 2 categories
A. One Time Signup Commissions
ClixSense pays you a fixed commission whenever a person signs up to ClixSense and performs at least 3 actions on 3 different days.
To avoid misuse, ClixSense does not reveal any further details about the exact actions that your referral performs for you to be eligible to receive the signup commission. Even if you are eligible to receive the commission, you will receive it only after 10 days from the signup date.
If your referral is from Tier 1 Country, you will earn $0.3 as signup commission. The amount is $0.1 if your referral is from a country not listed in the list of Tier 1 countries.
You also receive an additional one-time commission of $2 as soon as your referrals earn $5 through Clixsense surveys, tasks, and offers.
B. Activity Commission
You earn a commission of 20% whenever your referral completes a survey, a task or a ClixSense offer. The activity commission does not include any bonuses and prizes.
So if your referral from Tier 1 country earns $5 with Clixsense surveys, tasks, and offers, you will earn $0.3 signup bonus + $2 signup bonus + 20% of $5 = $3.3

5.2. How Does ClixSense Track My Referrals?

For each member, ClixSense provides a unique affiliate link. You can find the affiliate link in the "My Affiliate Details" section of your ClixSense Dashboard.
You can also use the shrink link option to shorten your affiliate url which is easy to remember and share with others.

5.3. How To Get ClixSense Referrals?

Getting new referrals for ClixSense does seem to be very easy, but it is not the case. The online world is full of scams, and when you promote ClixSense, most people will think of you as a scammer.
Unless you have a large number of friends or followers who believe your advice, this is not going to be an easy task. Having said that, nothing is impossible in this world.
So if you have the ability to win the trust of people, you can go ahead and promote ClixSense. After all, it does not cost you a single dime to promote it.
A. Who Should You Promote ClixSense To?
You can promote to ClixSense to anyone and everyone. However, not everyone has the time to complete surveys and tasks.
You can get better results by promoting ClixSense to
  • Students looking to earn pocket money.
  • House moms who want to utilize their time efficiently.
  • Retired professionals who have lots of free time to kill.
To maximize your earnings, you should try to promote ClixSense to individuals living in Tier 1 countries as they get more number of surveys.
Following are some of the best ways to promote your Clixsense referral link:
1. Promote To Your Friends
This is the easiest way to promote ClixSense. Your friends know you and trust you the most. So it is easier for you to convince them to join ClixSense.
Do make sure to cash out your first earnings before you approach a friend. This is because, your friend does trust you, but he may still not trust ClixSense.
2. Create A Blog For Promoting ClixSense
If you have good writing skills, you can create a blog to promote ClixSense. However, getting referrals through a blog may take some time and effort as you will have very few visitors to your blog in the beginning.
However, if you continue to write useful content and use SEO wisely to drive traffic to your blog, you will slowly start getting positive results. If you see the list of Top 50 ClixSense sponsors, most of them are promoting ClixSense through their blogs.
You can always start a free blog on Blogger platform by Google. However, you will not be able to rank a free blog on Google search engine. Also, a free blog shows a lack of professionalism and people may not trust someone who is not an expert in the field.
3. Promote On Social Media
Social media is a great place to promote your ClixSense affiliate links. You can promote your affiliate links on Twitter as well Facebook. However, promoting on Facebook will get you better results.
For Facebook promotion, I suggest you create a new account. This is because your friends and family may get annoyed if you are aggressively promoting ClixSense links.
You can also create a Facebook Page on "Making Money Online" or "Part Time Jobs" and get as many followers to the page as you can. If your page gets around 1000 to 10000 likes, you can earn a lot of referrals.
However, the downside of promoting ClixSense on social media is that social media posts are short lived. According to a study by Wiselytics, a Tweet has a half life of just 24 minutes, while thta of a Facebook page is 90 minutes.
So to make sure you get many referrals, you must continuously promote ClixSense on social media which can be very time-consuming.
4. Promote On Quora
For those who do not know, Quora is a "Questions & Answers" website which is very popular among the youth. According to Alexa, it is ranked at the 131st position among all the websites in the world.
The popular answers on Quora get millions of views. This shows the potential of promoting ClixSense referral link on Quora.
To get referrals from Quora, all you need to do is select a popular question and write a useful answer promoting ClixSense.
However, Quora's policy does not allow you to post affiliate links at Quora. Since many users were promoting their ClixSense affiliate link, Quora decided to delete all the answers that link back to ClixSense.
To utilize the traffic from Quora, you will have to divert them to your blog where you can place your Clixsense affiliate links.

                    Registering With ClixSense

I would recommend you to use Payoneer as your payment method because it is the cheapest of them all. It only costs a one time 2$ fee and then it's free to cash out from Payoneer. Sign up on Payoneer below:

Tips For Getting Clixsense Referrals:

  • If you want to promote ClixSense on Facebook, create a new account for the same to make sure not to annoy your friends and family.
  • Prefer Facebook over twitter to promote your affiliate links.
