I regiter at readbud,for now I earned 12 dollars, I refer my friend and she registered today. But i found out that $5 dollars for every refferal will be added only into your account,if your reffered person successfully redeem the $50 dollars they earned or in other words, If they reach 50 dollars and successfuly redeemed the money, it is is the only time that the $5.00 will be added in
to your account. What if they did not pay? Is there anyone of you registerd in this site? What do you think? Did they really pay earning $50 dollars, needs a lot of time and effort,I am so scared and ashame to my friend if it is scam.

I'm afraid that it is looking very much like Readbud is a scam, several people have reached their $50 and are still waiting for their money, one woman has been refused payment because 'she read the articles too fast'.
I am continuing with it until $50 just to see, but I don't hold out many hopes!!

Readbud hasn't actually been proved to be a non-paying site yet BUT you will find that the closer you get to $50, the fewer articles you will get to rate per day and also, if you do not really read the articles before rating them (or read too fast) your payment may be refused. They have software which checks your reading speed and, if it is not consistent and realistic, your earnings will be cancelled. Since this is mentioned in the terms, they are within their rights to enforce it.

i just joined this site. I still have to work on it to earn. I researched on the internet. Seems legit to me. I saw some payment proofs there. But the logic behind this site seems a little shaky to me. How can any person rate articles. There are chances where people may not even read the articles in the site and rate them and earn money. Though many people may join but the base of this site is not very strong as compared to other earning sites. I have joined to test it for sometime. Lets hope this works, or else it may be a complete waste of time.

It's a 100% scam site. Just see my previous discussions. I also posted the same discussion and i found that it's a scam site!

I was actually looking into that site and thinking about joining. But it seems that the general consensus here is that the site indeed is a scam. I trust mylotters to let us know about scams and it seems to be one based off what they're saying. It's a real shame, though. I was really hoping it was legitimate.

I am so glad I read this discussion. I joined readbud 5 days ago and already have $3.65 in my account. I do not want to waste my time on something that is not going to pay. I joined youdata and clixsense, I hope they pay. Hopefully I can find other ways to make money on here.
