How to earn through PTC - Paid to Click

PTC is the first online earning I've ventured in to when I started my online earning journey. Below is my explanation of how PTC works. What I have learned from it all.

=========


What is a PTC?

PTC or Paid to Click is an advertising website, where one pays a certain amount to have his or her website, blog or products seen by members. Each website that a member clicks and views has a certain amount paid to them.

How to earn by PTC?
To earn in PTC, one must become a member first, and have an ALERTPAY and/or PAYPAL account, which you can apply for free. Almost all PTC sites are free to join, so one can start earning right away without having to invest money in it. When you become a member here, you are given a certain number of ads that you can click daily. Each ad pays 0.005-0.01 in US dollars. So lets say, you have 4 ads to click today, when you view them all at 1 cent per ad, you will earn 4 cents in a day.

Each PTC site has their own payout. Most of them have $2.00 payout, so you have to click daily to reach $2.00, once you reach $2.00 you can request for payment. The best way to earn here is to refer people to join you. Once you have a downline you can expect to earn more and cash out early.

Some pays instantly, some you will have to wait for days. As a warning to those who are going to try PTC as a means of earning, there are many scam sites out there, so before venturing into this one, check and search if the site you are going to join is legit or not. I have made a list of my own scam sites here, you can check on that one too. This is so that you will not waste your time and effort clicking daily and not getting payment for it.

PTC is a good way to earn a little amount of money each month, you will not get rich here. And it is not guaranteed that you will get payments for every click you make from PTC sites you joined. Check for blogs and payment proofs from members before joining any PTC sites.

Some suggestions to maximize your PTC earnings
Before joining any PTC site, look for referral cashback or trade reflink. It's not that profitable to rent referrals in any site. Before upgrading in any PTC site (as upgraded members earn more), read a lot about the site first, this is to make sure that they will not run away with your money, which most PTC site owners do once they get many members upgrading in their site. Think very very well before investing in any PTC site.

What is a referral cashback?
Referral cashback is when you have an upline that pays you a certain percentage of what they will earn from your click. There are many PTC earners that offers this type, but before making any deal with any person make you sure that you can trust him or her to pay you for the referral cashback. There are also some sites that offers referral cashback, all you have to do is join these sites and they will pay you instead of your direct upline. Some refcashback sites that i have tried are PTCBucket, PTCMarket, and GPTBank.

What is a trade reflink?
Once you have gotten yourself involve in PTC sites, there are people out there that would like to trade referral links, you join their site (become their downline) and they will join your site (become their upline). Like the refcashback, make sure before you make a deal with anybody on this one that you can trust them to join your referral link and be active.

=========

I've made some money in it, but not enough for what I really need having no offline job and with may bills to pay. But I have stopped clicking in PTC and have been involved in other online earning programs, which pays higher and in a shorter period of time than PTC. Those that I am in I will post here too, so come back from time to time to check my blog.

A little guide on my online earning journey

I'll be starting on some 'how to' and 'what is' kind of posting from now on, on the programs I am in. Some of the people I know are asking where I am earning online and how I am doing it. There are those who have visited this blog and is still confused on how to do it, and start earning online like what I do.

I started from scratch, with zero money on my pocket, and only an internet connection to start. Here are some of the programs I have tried. I have earned from them, some were good and some were little. But every little amount add up, so I am thankful for each one of those sites for the payments I have received from them. But not all sites in the programs I have tried have paid me, so it's really wise before anyone starts joining an online earning site, a search should be done first if it is a paying site or not. SCAM sites should be avoided, that way you will not waste your time and effort in it.

I started with $2 payment, and I can say I am progressing in what I am doing. From $2 in one month, now I am able to earn more than $100.00 in a month. My goal is to earn a good amount online. Every month I post here my monthly earnings, and every payment I get from the sites I am in, I also post here.

Below are the programs I have tried and have earned from:
(all of them are free to join, and you can earn from them as a free member, except for the last one where you have to spend money to earn)
  1. PTC - Paid toClick
  2. TE - Traffic Exchange
  3. TAE - Text Ad Exchange
  4. GPT - Get Paid to Post
  5. Social Networking Sites
  6. Forum
  7. Writing
  8. HYIP - High Yield Investment Program (very risky)
I will do some explanation on each of the programs listed here, I'll be posting them to give you an idea on how I earned there and what to do. This will make this post some kind of series, so drop by and check once in a while if you have time.

These ones below I am also in but have not yet received any payment:
  1. Clickbank
  2. Autoposting on social networking sites
  3. Gaming sites

Check also my other posts, as I have posted payment proofs on the sites I am in, I have also here some featured sites, where I consider them as one of my favorite and I visit daily. Thank you for taking your time to read this post, see you next time.

SCAM SITES!

Updated

HYIP that closed down - as i have stated in my HYIP dedicated post, these sites are very risky as they can go away any minute without users knowing and run away with the members' money.

1. Investimates - right after i reinvested for my second investment, it closed down. I lost some $8 there. Admin owner here is Roger Miller... so next time, beware of this name, if he is going to open another site again.

Traffic exchange sites going bye bye... And here's the lesson I learned, if there is no picture of owners/staffs like the other sites, better not invest in it. use the freebies for advertising your sites, you will get results and your money is safe. if the commissions and bonuses are too high, too good to be true, take caution on spending on the site.

1. RevolutionayTraffic.com - money problem, too high surfing bonus, admin's broke


My list of non-paying PTC sites. Either you wont be able to cashout or you'll be waiting for payments or always cashout limit reached. Some of the sites here, I've been waiting for my payments for more than a month now.

HYIP that pays

On to my online earning journey...

I ventured now into the risky world of HYIP or High Yield Investment Program.

THIS SITE INVESTIMATES HAVE CLOSED DOWN...
Investimates - This is the first program I tried. I invested $5 with a 144% return after 12 days. So i waited for 12 days, and i indeed got $2.20 profit from my $5. The $0.30 extra was commissions from two referrals that invested $5 too. I cashed-out the profit and reinvested my $5 again. I'll wait for another 12 days to get another $2.20 from it. After that 12 days, it means I have almost gotten my money back and the one I will be reinvesting again is profit.

payment proof on my profit of 144% after 12 days

Of course, these sites are free to join, but if you want to earn there you have to spend their minimum amount which is $5, with a 144% return after 12 days. There is also a referral commission of 3%. You choose between 10% daily for 12 days with daily cash out on profit or 144% in 12 days, and you will wait for 12 days before you can cash out your money.


Bestinv - This is the second program I tried. I invested $5 with a 120% return after 5 days. So i waited for 5 days, and was able to earn $1.00 profit from my $5 investment. I tried withdrawing all and I got paid $6.00.

BestInv.com - best investment program
click banner to join

Just like the first HYIP i joined this one is also free to join, but if you want to earn there you have to spend their minimum amount which is $5, with a 120% return after 5 days. There is also a referral commission of 5%. So far this is the site where you can earn fastest, because it only takes 5 days for your investment to expire, and then you can cash out the profit and investment right away, or cash out profit only and reinvest your money.

These sites are still new, and the best way to earn in HYIP is when the sites are still new, so get in there now and start earning. Just be careful with how much you are going to invest. Dont put in too much and always read news on HYIP.

My plan on HYIP is to get my money back and just keep on rolling back the profit till I get good amount for cashout every other week. This will really help me on my online earning journey. I know HYIP are very risky as many of them turns to scam after a while, that's why im trying to be careful and invest only the minimum amount there.

i have received a surprise payment from an article i made in my other blog and it was $7.50, it really helped a lot. some of the sites where i have put hopes on reaching my goal for last month early did not yet sent their payments to me, and up to now i am still waiting for it, especially the other one which i have made a request before the end of june and up now i still have not received payment from it.

look over my traffic exchanges that pays and the social networking site that pays too.

next month is another online earning journey and another goal to reach, i was able to reach my two months goal earning. and this month i am going to increase my goal and make it $150.00 per month. with hard work, i know i can make it out there.
