How To Make Money With Paid To Click Sites – Useful Tips To Start Earning From PTC Programs

Basically, there’s really nothing special about making money from PTC sites. From the name itself, all you have to do is to just click and you’ll make money out of it. But beyond just simple clicking and viewing of ads for a period of time, there’s a whole array of technique used to maximize your earning potential from PTC sites. Like it or not, most of these techniques have been proven effective by PTC users who have been milking the industry earlier than you and me. Here, I will detail tried and tested ways for you to start earning something decent out of these Paid To Click programs.

First and foremost, like every trade known to man, you’ll need patience and perseverance. Nothing comes from work without effort but waste. Again and again, setbacks will come your way; and if you give up early in the game, then you’ll just be wasting your time. In the same manner, doing things repetitively without any clear direction is another waste of time. Before subjecting yourself to any form of endeavor, you need to have some strategy on how to make things go your way and not the reverse. In PTC business, patience plus smart work equals success.

REQUIREMENTS

Computer + internet connection = It’s an internet business therefore you need to have a medium where you can access the internet, preferably the one at home. Why? There are many PTC sites that are quite strict about IP addresses. Accessing the internet from places with shared IPs may disqualify you into joining a PTC site or viewing an ad simply because there could be another PTC user who has just recently used that IP address you’re using.

Email = You need to have one. Signup for one if you don’t have. Most PTC users recommend Gmail because of its reliable spam detection capability. I’m using Yahoo mail and, currently, everything works fine.

Payment Processors = You’ll need a payment processor to receive your earnings. Although there are some PTC sites offering check payments, Clixsense is the only one I find trustworthy since they have been in the business for a very long time and have a good payment track record. The others, well, it’s really easy to fake it and make a run of your hard earned cash.

The most common payment processors used in the PTC industry are Paypal and Alertpay. If you don’t have one, you can signup below:

• Paypal
• Alertpay

LET’S GET STARTED

1) Find reliable PTC sites and register for free. If it requires a fee to signup, that’s definitely a scam. (Bookmark your Paid to Click Programs, so you won't forget the PTC you had already joined)

Some points to consider when joining PTC:

• Make sure that the site will not scam you (at least not anytime soon). If you’re unsure about them, do some searches in Google first if they’re actually paying all their members.
• Join at least 10 PTCs. I’ll explain why later.
• I have a list of reliable and paying PTCs which you can signup to so you don’t have to undergo that tedious validation process.

2) Log in to your account and start earning cash by clicking/viewing/surfing advertisements (use Internet Explorer or Firefox browser in viewing ads. Most PTCs are compatible with Internet Explorer and Firefox).

3) Make the clicking and viewing of ads a daily habit (1-2 hours per day).


START EARNING

Like I said earlier, you need to start with at least 10 PTCs. This is simply because you’ll earn more in a day clicking their ads combined as compared to just sticking to a few. Most veteran PTC users use something around 20 or more programs to really get things going. You’ll start out with ten just to get a hang of things. You can add more to your list of PTCs when you’re confident enough that you can handle them.

With 10 PTCs at hand, you can earn something around 50 cents a day. Of course it all depends on the PTC sites you’ve joined. You need to look for those that have a considerable number of ads for standard members (not upgraded) and with better pay per click, starting at .005 (half a cent) up to .02 per click (higher than this and it’s most probably a scam, if lower then you have to evaluate more if their number of ads could make up for the low value of your clicks).

Let’s do some math and see what you can possibly come up with.

Let's say you have joined 20 PTC programs then those 20 PTC programs will have an average of 5 advertisements for you to view per day (usually more but it can vary).

And most PTC will pay you $0.01 per ad you view.

Therefore 20 PTC programs x 5 ads = 100 ads.

So you will be getting 100 x $0.01= $1.00/day. In a month you can make $30 on your own. I know it's not enough but that's a guaranteed extra income for you!

To save time viewing all the ads you’ll be clicking, you can open as many PTC programs as your internet connection can handle simultaneously in tabs. If you’re still using IE6, better upgrade to avoid too much clutter in your desktop. In case you didn’t know, tabbed browsers have been the standard in internet browsing lately.


REFERRALS

Although the number of PTC programs you’re into can definitely help on your quest to make money online, the true secret to making it big in PTC business is your downline of referrals. The more referrals you have, the faster you’ll be making money. That’s because in PTC business, you get paid a percentage when someone signs up under your referral link, you’ll also get paid for every clicks they make. What’s more is that your referrals could recruit their own referrals too which will also help you earn more.

Again let’s do some math. Let’s say you have 4 referrals in each of your 20 PTC programs. And they click the same 5 advertisements that you do.

If let’s say the average percentage you’ll get from your referral’s click in all PTC programs is 50%, you’ll get $0.025 from one of them (half of $0.05).

That’s $0.10 in 4 of your referrals from one PTC program ($0.025 X 4).

$2 a day in all your 20 PTCs ($0.10 X 20) and $60 a month ($2 X 30).

Now add that $60 to the $30 you made from your clicks. That’s a rough $90 for a month of clicking ads and recruiting referrals.

That ain’t bad, right?

Now, let’s say you have 10 referrals in each of your 20 PTCs.

The equation:
($0.025 x 10) x 20 = $5 per day
$5 x 30 = $150 a month
You’ll earn $180 a month along with your monthly clicks.

That’s just your first level of referral. There’s also such a thing as 2nd, 3rd, and so on levels in your referral system depending on your PTC program’s incentives. What’s more is that some PTCs offer even higher percentages sometimes up to a 100% of your referral’s click. Take note also that you can earn more than $0.05 a day in some PTC programs.

Now, how do you recruit referrals you may ask? More than just asking your online buddies to sign up under the referral link which your PTC program will provide you, there are other ways to get people online who are seeking ways to earn extra money to signup under your referral code. You can try posting your referral links in forums or using them as your forum signature. You could also try answering questions related to PTCs in Yahoo Answers, and then offer your referral link afterwards. Also, you could set up a blog, or a website dedicated entirely to your quest in earning from PTCs.

Alternatively, if you’re not really good at recruiting referrals, why don’t you just buy them? Some PTCs offer un-referred users (those who didn’t sign up under anyone) for sale.


HELPFUL TIPS

1. Some PTC have cheat protection measures. Make sure that you read their rules and guidelines about these. If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice these cheat protection in action through links that says “Don’t Click Here”. Sometimes they ask questions with choices. All of these just to make sure that they provide “high quality traffic” to their advertisers.

2. Open 6 or more tabs (depending on the capacity of your internet speed).This can help speed up your clicking activity for each PTC site by simultaneously opening them and viewing their ads.

3. Protect your computer, use a good antivirus program. You don’t know when you’ll be hit by malwares from malicious people using these income generating opportunities.

4. To boost your earnings, work on how to recruit more people as your referral to click for you. The more referrals the more dollars will come to you.

5. Be extra careful when joining a site. Research well if it’s a scam or not. Some scammers change their site’s name and continue earning without paying its members.

6. Keep clicking! After your downline gets big enough, you may feel you don't need to click anymore as your downline is doing all the work! But remember, you have an upline that is counting on your clicking every day and you should pay it forward. Also, some PTC programs cancel all your earnings on the next day (that include your earnings from your referrals) after the day of your clicking inactivity.

7. Never give up! It takes time and effort to really make good and stable money from PTC programs. Like they said; “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Just hang in there.
