MAKING MONEY ONLINE WITH PTC SITES...

PTC (Paid To Click) sites really are the most popular ones, as a means of making money online.  Hence, I'm starting off with my take on PTC sites. 


WHAT DO YOU DO : Here a member makes money while surfing the net/viewing specific websites put up by the PTC site for a certain time, typically 30 or 60 seconds, after which the account is credited with the amount promised to view the site.


HOW MUCH: On an average, $0.001, $0.01, $0.02 is the typical rate which is paid for view ONE site for 30/60 seconds.


PROS : If you want something totally brainless, and on autopilot, go for these sites!  It's what they promise in the marketing hype "earn doing little", though you would never earn the figures they promise, but I'd come to that a little later. 


CONS : Actually the same as PROS!  TOTALLY BRAINLESS and as we all know, the world pays for the use of brain MUCH MORE then it does for physical labour in the 'Real' world.  Unfortuantely, the same rule applies to the 'Virtual' world too!!
Second, the payout is pathetic, but then so is the work, to be fair!
Third, In my opinion, no other work at home opportunity is so FULL OF SCAMS as this one!  So, you would really need to choose your sites very carefully.


STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS : PTC sites' payment structure relies quite heavily on referrals, going as deep as 10 levels (typically 3-6 levels) in case of some sites.  So, do plan to focus there, if you want to make good money.


DOING THE MATHS: As you can work out, as a free member, you would probably get 4-6 ads per day to click on.  Taking a rate of $0.01 per ad (which is a HIGH rate for a genuine site), that would amount to something between $ 1.2 to $1.8 PER MONTH!!  Even with referrals et al, I don't think it would be wise to depend on PTC sites as a main income stream for your work at home options.


MY SPECIAL TIP:  Don't let the low payouts and a miniscule number of ads as a free member discourage you.  I know of someone who has managed to constantly earn $300/- pm just from PTC sites.  But he is a member of over 30 PTC sites(!!) and works on them 3-4 hrs a day, every day.  If you feel, this is your calling in life, by all means, go all out with PTC!  The point is, it CAN be done. 


To find out about GENUINE PAYING PTC sites, click here.  My advice would be to keep A FEW genuine ones in your kitty, and click on these when -
  • You want a break from your regular 'brainy' work
  • You are waiting for your main work sites to open!  After all, it would take precisely 5 odd minutes to do your day's work on one site.


BEWARE :  Especially BEWARE of the sites promising $1 or $10 (!!) rates PER AD viewed.  THEY ARE NOTHING BUT SCAMS!!!! 


REMEMBER, If something is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE......chances are that IT ISN'T, especially in the quicksand world of PTC sites!!
