Intro.

Many money making sites have begun to pop up in recent years, especially the sites that claim you can earn a few cents at a time by completing menial tasks.

StudentBux is one of these sites, and this StudentBux review will explain how you can make money using their system. Some people will suggest that they don’t allow you to make enough money, but that may depend on your situation.

So take your time to read this review, and you’ll become educated in how to make a few pennies.

I’ll declare now that I’m not affiliated with StudentBux, and should you choose to sign up to StudentBux, I will not make any money. I have no links that will direct you to StudentBux.

Yes I am an affiliate marketer, but I only promote great products and services that I recommend.

What is StudentBux

Essentially, StudentBux is a website that will allow you to make a few cents online, or maybe even a few dollars depending on how much time you allocate. The predominant thing you’ll be doing is watching adverts and signing up to specific offers.

For instance, the following is an image from the inside of StudentBux.

Here, you’ll have 4 different advert types to choose from.

• Fixed Advertisements
• Standard Ads
• Mini Ads
• Micro Ads

Usually, these types of websites will disclose a specific time that you need to watch the adverts for. Having checked the StudentBux F.A.Q. & Terms & Conditions page, they don’t say how long you must watch the adverts for. So, I can only assume there is no minimum time.

The idea is that you’ll watch the advert for long enough to take action on what you are watching. For instance, from the above image of adverts, I clicked on ‘Trusted Aticlix’.

You’ll then be prompted with the above advert that has a ‘Register Now’ button. So the idea is to get you to sign up to external programs, many similar to StudentBux.

As an additional note, you will need to watch at least 4 adverts per day to receive the earnings for the next day.

StudentBux Creator/s

One thing I don’t particularly like about StudentBux, and other similar sites, is that they don’t disclose who is behind the site. There is no record of who the owners or founders are, which means we don’t know who is responsible when things go wrong.

When I join a program, I like to research what it’s about, and who is responsible for creating the site.

Is StudentBux A Scam?

I don’t believe StudentBux to be a scam, but I also don’t believe it to be a very good earning opportunity. I’ll mention the income earnings soon, but don’t go signing up expecting a genuine income from StudentBux.

StudentBux Earning Methods

As I’ve touched on, the main way that you’ll be earning money is by watching adverts. However, this is not the only way you can earn through StudentBux.

They also have a game called Head Tail Game. I believe you will need a certain amount of earnings before you are eligible to play this game. Either that, or you need to deposit money in order to do so.

This to me, defeats the purpose of Student money in the first place. Why would you want to deposit money in order to play a Heads or Tails game. It sounds like online gambling to me.

There’s also the StudentGrid. Here you’ll have the chance to win up to $2. You will be presented with a picture grid like the image below, and the idea is to choose a grid square.

When you do pick a square, a new tab will open with an advert, which you’ll have to watch for 7 seconds. When I tried it, the same advert appeared 4 times, and it and lasted for 17 seconds. 

They say you’ll know if you win. Well, I wasn’t given any indication of winning or losing.

Earning Potential

The earning potential from StudentBux is extremely poor. Each advert watched will give you either $0.001 cent, $0.0005 cent or $0.0001 cent. Even though their website homepage says ‘Earn up to $0.003 per ad view’, I didn’t find any ads that offered this.

Even if you were offered $0.003 for each ad view, you would not be earning very much at all. Even though the adverts I watched went for 17 seconds, let’s assume each ad ran for 15 seconds. Include the loading and closing time, we’ll say 20 seconds.

For one minutes work you would earn $0.009 cents. For one hour, you’d earn 54 cents. That means constantly clicking ads for one hour.

Now they say the ads you watch must be unique. In other words, they cannot be the same identical advert to earn money. So if you are shown the same advert 4 times, you only earn for watching once. The problem is, you cannot guarantee being shown different ads.

StudentBux Payment Proofs

StudentBux does have a members forum where you can discuss with others. They have a payment proof category, where people show their payment proofs. Most of the payments are 10c or 20c. Hardly anything to write home about.

StudentBux Cashout

The minimum cashout from StudentBux is $0.30. What I don’t like is the processing fee that StudentBux takes. The will claim a fee of $0.10 +2.5% of your earnings. So for the time that you invest, you can write off over a third of that in StudentBux fees. Not good.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Multiple ways to earn
• Easy to watch ads

Cons:

• Very poor earnings
• High processing fees
• Takes a long time to earn money
• Unknown owners

How I Earn Money Online

I used to be enticed by these kinds of offers, clicking on adverts or earning satoshi through crypto sites. I quickly became aware that this was not going to earn me enough money to replace my income.

I needed to figure out the best way for me to earn a consistent, recurring income stream that could be replicated. Did it even exist? Well, yes it does.

It’s called affiliate marketing, which is basically promoting other people’s products or services. When a sale is initiated, a commission is earned. This can be done with recurring commissions or high ticket commissions.

For instance, I could sell a luxury boat on my website for somebody else. If I was able to do this and I received a 10% commission, and the boat cost $100,000, I would earn $10,000. This is an extreme case, and no, I haven’t been able to do this. That’s not to say the opportunity doesn’t exist.

I work on a smaller level, constantly receiving commissions of $8, $23.50 or even $227 as you can see in the recent screenshot below.

This is just from one income source, I earn more from multiple other income sources.

If you’d like to learn how to earn money like this on a consistent basis, you can read my blog how to start affiliate marketing from scratch, or check out the platform that taught me how to do it. And I’m still a member there.

Final Thoughts

​On a final note, I’ll give my honest thoughts on StudentBux. I would not bother to waste any time with this site, or any others like it.

The income returns are way too small for the amount of time you will invest. If you’re going to put in hours of work per day, my advice would be to start building your own asset. A website that is your own, and you can build to earn larger sums of money than what StudentBux will ever offer.
