Making money using PTC sites : Paid To Click

The secret is to sign up with multiple sites and click links simultaneously on the different sites you signed up to. If you registered for 10 accounts that serve 10 offers per day, paying a cent per click, you will have earned your first dollar today. 


Step 1 
The first step to maximizing your profits is to a pick a few PTC sites that you really like. Do not join every single PTC site out there and be very careful which sites you choose. I have included a great list of all the legitimate and paying PTC sites online. You can find this list in this blog. There is also a list showing you all the sites to stay away from. Do not join more than 50 PTC sites as you may not be able to work on them all on a daily basis! 


Step 2 
The second step to maximizing your income is to only work on those sites that you picked out. It might be hard to only pick a few sites but it will help you in the long run. I mean sure you can join a lot of sites and do a few offers here and there on each site, however it will take you a long time to reach cash out. You might even get in trouble for fraud for doing the same offer twice. Lots of sites use different names for each offer. So it can be hard to know if you have done the offer or not in the past. It is easier when you are working with a limited amount of sites, but trustworthy sites. 


Step 3 
The third step is to promote only the sites you are working on. I have come across sources online where they urge you to promote all the sites you join. If you join a site and do not click on their offers, you will not find out if they really pay or not. You do not want potential referrals joining a site that will not pay them. If you own a website or a blog, you do not want potential referrals to see banners all over the place promoting exaggerated amounts of sites. It might overwhelm them and they may not want to join any sites because there are far too many to choose from. You only want to promote the sites that you are currently working with and sites that you have been paid from. You want your potential referrals to understand that you trust the sites you promote. 


Step 4 
The fourth step to maximizing your income is to keep a look out for when your PTC sites are having contests. Most PTC sites at present offer multiple contests during a single month. You have a chance to win free prizes for completing the most offers, getting the most referrals, and so forth. Make sure to check the contests and complete those offers so you can win some prizes. 


Step 5 
The fifth step is to make sure you know how much payout is. GPT payouts are usually higher than PTC ones because you can easily earn more money on a GPT site. I would say if you join a PTC site make sure the payout is not high and it will not take you forever to reach payout. If payout is over $11, I would not waste my time working on that site because it would take forever to reach payout. For me, I hate waiting forever to reach a payout on a click site because you do not make much on PTC. I can usually deal with the $10 payout but if it is $20 no thanks. It is not worth my computer getting a virus or spyware for only $20. 


Step 6 
When you have decided which site you will be using and promoting make sure you become a premium member for that site, this will increase your per click amount and also speed up your payout time. Don’t become a premium member until you have accumulated at least 10 referrers. An keep clicking, don’t neglect sites for too long or your account will become dormant and you will lose all your money and referrers. 


More Tips 
Join at least 10 to 20 programs that are proven, trusted and that pays on time. Do multi tasking; use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet explorer. It is much safer. Open 5-10 Different websites at a time and while you click on ads of one site immediately click on ads of 2nd site and then 3rd, 4th, 5th... Have patience clicking ads and don't give up even if you're clicking on your own, once you manage to reach your payout don't spend it, invest first in buying or renting referrals from your own favourite PTC site. This may guarantee that you will earn reasonable profits in the near future. Once you are earning a steady supply of cash, that's the right time to spend it for your own pleasure. 


You might even earn more... 
Once you have been a member for a while and see for yourself that the site does pay, you might consider upgrading your membership or buying referrals. Upgrading your membership: Most PTC sites offer a premium membership (it might be called something different, though, like gold). This premium membership has many benefits: an increase in the amount that each click pays, an increase in the amount that you earn from your referral's clicks, and even an increase in the number of clicks available to you. Upgrading can virtually double your earnings, and is often inexpensive and well worth it! 
Buying Referrals: Most sites will offer sets of un-referred members that can be added to your down line for a price. This price varies, but usually it is well worth it. You should keep in mind that the site will not guarantee that the members will remain active. They will be active at the time that you buy them, but most sites will not replace members who become inactive. This action can increase your earnings by hundreds, because your referrals will earn for you. It is important to be sure that the site is legitimate before you make a purchase with your own money, because few sites offer refunds or replacements for inactive referrals. 
If you want to purchase referrals or a Premium Membership, but you are not sure that you should trust the site, most sites allow you to purchase those things with your earnings. Until you are sure, you will just have to get referrals the old fashioned way - traffic exchanges! 

Best PTC Tips and Tricks : Paid To Click

Before Joining a PTC :

Scoping out SCAMS / Legitimate Sites 
There are thousands of paid to click websites on the Internet and with that much money making programs, you can expect different experiences from site to site. Some users have had bad experiences. This is not always the fault of the PTC website, but generally the whole industry has got a bad name because of many 'fly-by-night' operators that open a BUX website for a few months and then disappear. One of the main reasons is they don’t really know what they are doing and how much work and effort is involved.

Remember almost every PTC will have some bad reviews and this is normal because there are so many people using them. Unfortunately, not everyone will be happy for different reasons, so make sure you spend some time researching the sites you want to participate in. Fortunately for you, I will teach you how to identify scams, and on top of that, included at the end of this guide is a wealthy list of all the proven scam sites.

Avoiding scam sites:

Research Background
Check the business record by going to whois.net and also BBB. You can read how many complaints on the said establishment. Find out if there's any company name or contact number listed for the site/company. Also, attempt to search for the feedback of the site and if you cannot take the risks then do not apply with such site. If the site has an actual physical address, it is worthwhile to check if they are genuinely located at those premises. You may send them emails, even call them to prove that a real person answers your calls and your emails and gives you answers to your specific questions and not an automatic mail with canned responses.

PTC Investigations - PTC / GPT Site Reviews 
This is not a PTC site but it's one of the most useful sites I've ever stumbled across on the internet as far as making money goes. This site lists MANY PTC sites that one can use to make money. The best places to look is under the "Trusted Sites", "The Elite" or "Legit Sites". If you look in these lists, you will find many PTC sites you can sign up with and start making money on the side. There is tons of useful information on this site so take some time, click around and read the comments. PTC Investigations completely lays it all out for you. They review PTC sites, and let you know if it's a scam or if it's legit. It's very useful to search for a site here before you sign up. They have proof of payments and much more. It really will be beneficial for you to poke around here and read a bit. IT WILL PAY OFF LATER! 


Don’t Join Non-Customized Sites 
When finding a new site, look at the layout - is it professional and unique? This may not seem like a major influencing factor to legitimacy of the site, but it most definitely is. If the layout is visually unpleasant, they probably didn't put much time and effort into it. Some sites are just generally bad looking or covered in advertisements. This is a bad factor. You want to find a site that is professional, custom and in it for the long run. If they were in it for the long run, they would make their site unique and would have invested into a professional outcome.

Don't Purchase Anything!
If you find a new site that seems "legitimate" and are considering purchasing something - don't. If the site is new with no real member base and no evident payment proofs, don't join. Let the site run for at least 4 months before purchasing upgrades to be on the safe side.

Don't Join Sites of Past Scammers 
If the site owner is known to of scammed in the past, don't join the site. If they have scammed once, they will scam again, don't take the chance.

Don't Use Sites without Support/Forums
If the PTC site doesn't have a decent support system or a forum where an administrator is active, don't use it. You should always try to get in touch with the administrator, even if you send a simple enquiry to their email address or via a "Contact Us" form. If the admin doesn't make contact within 2 business days, you should avoid the site altogether.

Check the member list and the pay rate
A site that attempt to hide the members list or how much they pay and try to be unclear about how they conduct business it’s probably got something to hide. Check the sites payouts in the forums and at their proofs page. Note that it is easy to make up ‘proofs’ so read in the forums about real people that have received payouts.

Read the TOS, FAQ and the help sections of the site
In the TOS (Terms of Service, or Terms and Conditions) you can find a lot of answers to questions you may have. You should pay careful attention to the TOS and also make sure to read thoroughly through the site's FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and the support section.


Sustainability
"Sustainability is a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely." (Wikipedia) In PTC terms, when a site is sustainable that means it can survive for years. A PTC which is charging less money than it pays it is unsustainable and cannot live forever. Unsustainable sites are scams, period. It is inevitable that sites paying $1 to $100 per click are scams. Generally you can expect
to earn $0.001 to $0.01 per click (standard member). As for your referrals, you can expect to earn anywhere from $0.0025 to $0.005 per each click. Sites paying more than $0.005 per referral's click (standard member) are unsustainable no matter what their advertising rates may be.
Only one or two PTC sites can pay more than $0.005 per referral's click and ultimately survive.

Blacklists
There are many websites and blogs like this one that keep an updated track of all the PTC sites that do not meet their end of the agreement. These SCAM sites should be avoided at all times so to ensure you are not wasting your time when you can be making money on other sites that do pay. I have sourced a list containing all the proven scam sites online today. You can find this list in this blog. Likewise, I have put together a list of all the proven sites out there that you can join with and participate.

Requirements for using PTC sites : Paid-To-Click

. You need an email address - I recommend Gmail. It has excellent anti spam control 
which can come in very handy 
. You need a PayPal account 
. You need an AlertPay account 
. 1 hour a day of your own time. I recommend you to invest at maximum 1 hour a day 
once you've established your referral network. Initially, you should invest more time 
in order to setup your referral network and learn the best practices and skills required 
to succeed in this industry. 

How PTC sites work : Paid-To-Click

PTC sites essentially pay you to click ads, view offers and visit websites. The process is
quiet simple! Once an ad is presented to you, you click on that ad and browse the
webpage opened for the time required. After the time has passed, the reward is credited
to your account balance. In general, PTC sites pay you anywhere between $0.005 to
$0.05 per each ad click/view. Furthermore, many PTC sites allow you to earn a lot more
money by rewarding you with money your referrals earn! Each of your referrals can earn
you anywhere from $0.001 to $0.01 per ad click/view - again depending on the PTC site.
Payment requests can be made virtually any time through PayPal and AlertPay, so long
as you exceed the minimum payment threshold which ranges from $1 to $25.
Income Example 

. You click 10 ads per day: $0.10
. 500 referrals click 10 ads each per day: $50.00
. Your daily earnings: $50.10
. Your weekly earnings: $350.70
. Your monthly earnings: $1402.80

The above example is based only on 500 referrals and 10 daily clicks. Some days you will
have more clicks available, some days you will have less, and same goes for your referrals.

PTC Introduction : Paid To Click

I will explain in detail how you can make money and achieve a steady 
income from PTC (Paid To Click) websites. 
I have personally made $1,000s of dollars across 6 PTC sites in the last 6 months. All 
this was possible thanks to my referrals - other people who essentially earn an income 
for themselves, whilst providing a share for myself. Without referrals, I wouldn't even 
achieve $100 per month! 

I will teach you about PTC sites and acquisition of referrals. Once you have 
setup your network of referrals, you can make $100 to $10,000 per month with minimal 
amount of effort on your behalf. Essentially, your referrals will earn you a steady income, 
and the more referrals you have, the more you will earn! 
Tremendous amount of time has been spent on the research of how to earn a good and 
steady income from participation on PTC sites. The information gathered is now 
available to you in this guide. I have ensured to make all the information as clear as 
possible and simple to understand, even to those unfamiliar to PTC sites and the 
industry. 

What is a PTC website : Paid-To-Click

A Paid-To-Click site is a website based program that pays you to click advertisements 
and participate in various offers. 
Paid To Click or PTC websites are the easiest and quickest ways to legitimately earn 
money online. These websites let you make money without tiresome effort, require no 
skills, and are absolutely free. All you have to do is click a few ads, read a few emails or 
complete a few surveys. 


Many PTC websites require you to click on an ad and view it for about 30 seconds to 
earn. When your account balance reaches the minimum payout value, you can request 
for a payout. Payments are generally made to a PayPal or AlertPay account. Staying 
active in a number of these programs lets you earn steady and regular online income. 
However, due to the boom in PTC industry, there are more scam sites out there than 
genuine ones.
