So I decided to help a few people learn more about probux and actually have more of a motive to try it.
There are plenty methods on it in the methods section

So If you sign up using my ref link
http://www.probux.com/?r=yofun
Click at least all of the Orange ads.

I'm picking two people every 2 weeks to give $5.50 for them to keep the 50 cents and invest the $5 to probux to buy referral.

Why am I doing this? Because it will help you learn about probux, and I should get my $5 back within 2 months or so if you do it correctly (through the direct referrals) so it's a win for both of us.

In my opinion Probux actually works, my first glance at it, and it looked like a scam

---

I'm willing to help people, invest in $5 (more?). Invest at least half my earnings from you being a direct referral. At the moment I'm unable to pay out the $5 I might have it in a few days on probux, currently I have 95 referrals,Which I just rented today

great a pyramid scheme, yes this will work -.-

I have always wondered what type of structure Probux is. To me, it seems like a Ponzi scheme with an additional supplement of cash from ads. Ponzi instead of pyramid because, while you have underlings like a pyramid, anyone who deposits money into Probux is funding the people who are withdrawing. Probux has "technical difficulties" and an "overloaded server" such that you can only withdraw money within a few seconds after 00:00 and 12:00. Obviously, they have a certain income per day that they are giving to people and once they have distributed that amount, they run into "technical difficulties," every single day. The limitations are supposedly a byproduct of how PayPal deals with new businesses, and will clear up in a month, once PayPal trusts them as a business. In a Ponzi, the first people in will get their return on their investment, but people who jump on too late have their money payed to the first people, and the latecomers never get money. Probux is behaving similarly, as they only have a limited amount that they can payout. The difference is that it isn't the first people who invested that can get money, it's the people who can time their requests closest to 00:00 or 12:00, like a lottery.

Eh? Probux doesn't seem to have any of those issues.

It throttles how much money it pays out, using that as an excuse. That doesn't mean it isn't possible to get money out, but it's just hard. For an example, see:
