Tips to help you earn from Paid to click (PTC) sites

In one of my previous articles I have introduced the “Paid to click program”, which is the best alternative for earning from the internet.
This article explains few ways through which you can maximize your earnings. A few require investment and a few can be obtained from shear hard work.

1. Referrals: The more referrals you obtain the better is your income. Every site offers referral commission i.e commission for bringing the member to the site. For every ad your referral clicks you get commission. You either fetch some referrals on your own or you can buy them from the site itself. Every site sells referrals, but does not promise their activity. So it is advised you get referrals on your own

2. Premium membership: This requires investment in the site. Premium members are offered more for every ad and also more referral commission than the standard members. In order to be a premium member you need to buy Premium membership package from the site, which are available on various period basis.

3. Members who can’t afford to buy referrals or premium membership can involve themselves in referral exchange programs where you join as a referral for some other person and ask them to join under you in your choice of PTC. Such offers are available in various forums and sites. Search for “PTC referral exchange” and you will surely find them.

4. Also there are a few members who offer “RCB” – Referral commission back i.e they pay you back part of the referral commission they will get if you join under them. This is really profitable as you can earn extra apart from your own earning.

5. Finally members who can afford investments are advised to invest in the premium membership and offer referral commission back in order to get referrals. Or you can even buy them from the site but if they turn inactive you lose your investment and the site won’t hold any responsibility for it unless you are buying atleast 500 referrals.

Always be wise and choose the right alternative to earn.

What is a paid to click program ?

Paid to click, famously known as PTC is regarded as one of the easiest programs available to start your run in online earning. This is the basic program for all those people who want to earn from home.

To brief it simply on how the program runs, you are given a set of ads everyday and you are paid to view those ads. Sounds simple isn’t it? It works the same way too.

In order to get registered in a PTC one is required to fill in some standard details like Username desired, password, E- Mail address and payment options etc. From the moment you finish registration you are ready to earn your money.
When you log into your account you can see various options namely “Home”, “View ads”, “Stats”, “FAQ” etc. I will explain only a few options which are important for everyone to know what importance they hold in your account.

Profile – This page contains all the details that you have submitted in the site for registration. Any further clarification or transaction will be done regarded to these details only.

View Ads – This is a very important part of the site because this is where your ads will be displayed. Generally they are in the form of text ads and will be arranged in a row.
You just need to click on one ad at a time and wait for the ad to load completely. Once the ad completely loads a timer will be running in the same window indicating that you should be on that page only for that amount of time for you to get paid. Once a green tick mark is visible or any indication telling you that you have been paid for the ad you can close the ad and move onto the next one. But if there is a red “x” mark, that means either you have loaded the ad already once or there may be an error.

Stats – This is another part of the site which you will be referring to a lot of times. This is where all the statistics will be given on how many ads you have clicked in a period of time; it also shows how many referrals you have under you. It also has other options like “History”, “Cashout” etc.
Once you accumulate a certain amount in your account you can Cashout/ request your payment by using the Cashout option. Most commonly accepted processors are Alertpay and Liberty Reserve.
In order to check whether your payment has been processed or not you can check its status in the History column.
In stats section along with these you will get a link, which is called “Referral link”, which is used to let members join under you. Members who click on your referral link and register on the site are counted as your referrals and will be displayed in the stats section.
You can even earn from the ads your referrals view. The commission that you get from your referral clicks varies from site to site.

There are two kinds of memberships available in these sites: Standard and Premium.
All the members who join for free and start earning are regarded as Standard members.
Members who invest some amount (determined by the site) are labeled as Premium members. Premium members are paid more than the standard members and also their payments are processed faster.
There are tens and hundreds of PTC programs popping up every day. Most of them end up scamming its members without paying them even a cent. Be careful and be wise in choosing the program you want to invest your time in.

Strategy behind how a paid to post program runs

Now we understand how Paid to post sites work. But now the question is why do they pay their members to post?

Well the answer is quite simple, “To earn money from advertising.”

The idea goes like this:

Webmasters launch a forum, Introduce Paid to post offer into the forum and advertise the launch of forum/site in various places.
Initially whatever the administrator pays to the members is from their own pocket. This is the initial investment they risk to earn profits later.

A particular amount (say 3 or 4 cents) will be paid for the members for every post they make in the forum. Members are required to accumulate the amount until they reach the minimum payout (varies from$2 to $10 or even higher), after which they can request a payout and get paid. The payment proofs of the program are then used as an advertising tip to attract more members to the forum.

This is person – to – person advertising of the site. Once the payment proofs are out more members start joining the site and the traffic gradually increases, enabling the site to have good number of static traffic.

Once they have good number of traffic, they advertise ad spaces available in the forum. This is the main source of income of any site.

Now the funds they receive should be distributed for the hosting costs, staff salaries, member payments etc. So for a few weeks or even months none of the Paid to post forums makes any profit, it is in long run that they start making some money.

There is another purpose on how the Paid to post administrators profit from the site. They advertise their own sites or businesses in the forum and try to improve and gain ;)
So a forum sustains purely on advertising.

Tips for beginners to earn Online

New members who have the desire to earn some money from their homes enter the world of online earning and are generally lost where to start or how to go about. In this article various programs are pointed out, which will be helpful for members to earn online just by staying at their homes. It is possible to earn from the internet with your own home pc but you have to remember every thing starts from a cent and grows to a million, depending on your hard work.

In the initial search for programs that pay, members come across a lot of programs which quote “Earn from home at your comfort” and claim to be paying thousands of dollars to its members without doing much effort at all.
Always remember the main principle of success “No Pain No Gain”.
Such programs either encourage you to invest in their plans or they ask for your details (E – mail, Address etc,). If you pay them they give you an E – book in which, details on how the program works will be discussed or most of the times they take your money and return nothing.
They take advantage of your account details and spam your mail box with useless e – mails which are nothing other than waste of time.

Online earning is not different from offline work in terms of dedication and interest. The only difference you may say is that in Online earning you earn at the comfort of your home.

Here is a small list of “Get Paid to” famously expressed as GPT programs which require no skill and zero investment of your money:

7. Paid to Search

Detailed description of “What are these programs?” “What do we do with them to earn” and so on are given in my other posts, please do go through.

The ratio of a paying program to a scam program is far above comparison. Some don’t fall for the tricks and deceits of scammers. Be wise in choosing the programs, be happy no matter how much you earn and always believe that you can earn much more.
