Beginners Guide
1. Intro
This PTC guide is targeted mostly in the potential (or existing) members of PTC sites who want to improve their income and make money online. Before we start covering the different aspects of this wide subject we would like to make a quick notice. Please keep this in mind during all your profit making endeavors : There is no such thing as "easy money". You can't get rich in a few days. It takes hard work, commitment and wise planning in order to reach your goals. Having this under consideration will help you to be prepared and protect yourself from fraud, no matter how tempting some schemes may seem. Usually, the "once-in-a-lifetime-opportunities" that urge you to reach into your pocket, promising wealth and prosperity, can have terrible results. At least that's our own personal experience. As someone said : " If it feels to you like a scam... it probably is! ". We will address to the matter of scamming more thoroughly in our "Scam or Legit?" page. Because, yes, there are a lot of scams on the internet, but there are legit ways of making profit too. So lets start with the basics:
2. What is PTC?
PTC (Paid To Click) is an online business model that is growing rapidly on an international scale. PTC sites act as an intermediary between advertisers and consumers. They pay their members to click on specific ads per day, thus generating traffic, and selling it to clients who want to promote their business.
3. Requirements - How to join?
Becoming a member in PTC sites requires no investment whatsoever, except your time & effort. Anyone with the basic knowledge of using a computer can start making some extra bucks, simply by joining a trustworthy site and viewing a small number of ads on a daily basis. Also, an account in a global money transfer service is needed (like Paypal, Payza, Alertpay etc.) in order to collect your earnings. The registration process in these services is very simple and above all 100% safe. Millions of people make transactions everyday throughout the world.
4. Registration process
1) Create an e-mail account (Gmail, Yahoo, Gmx etc.)
2) Create an account on PayPal or PayZa. You can register easily in almost a minute for free.
3) Join all (or as many as you can) of the best PTC sites and start earning.
You can access your account from your home, work, library, friends' house, internet cafe etc. Meaning that you can access your account from a different IP address, however, only one account is permitted per household (same IP adress).
5. How does it work?
As a member in PTC sites, each day you are provided with a number of advertisement links (~4 minimum) that you have to click on. The time length of each ad varies from 6-30sec. For every click you make your account balance gets updated instantly according to the value of the ad. The number of available ads per day also varies depending on site, but it can reach 50 ads or more. ( To compare the differences between ptc sites you can click here ). When you want to cash out, your earnings get transfered by (Paypal, Payza etc.) directly to your bank account. To be able to cash out there is a minimum limit that you have to reach (also varies from site to site). In most cases that minimum limit is around $1-$3, so it's not really a problem.
6. Can I make a profit from PTC?
The amount of money earned for each click you make varies from $0.001 to $0.02. These values don't seem very rewarding at first. But let's take a closer look :
Ads x Average Value Per Click Profit
20 ads x 0.008 (average) $0.16
30 days x 0.16 $4.80
20-30 PTC sites x 4.80 $96 - $144
This profit can be obtained by your personal clicks alone. That's without using the most important part of the PTC mechanics: The referrals.
7. What is a referral?
In simple terms, referrals are your helpers. People like you following the same process, clicking on ads, but they are assigned under you. So, while they are making profit by clicking on their ads, you also get paid as an ongoing commission. As you can imagine, depending on the quantity of referrals, the possibilities are endless. You will be surprised when you see the payment proofs of certain PTC members reaching up to five figures.
8. How can I get referrals?
There are three kinds of referrals :
A) Rented Referrals (RR)
In most PTC sites you will be able to rent referrals, usually for a certain amount of period.
B) Bought Referrals (BR)
Same as the above, but in this case, the referrals remain yours permanently.
C) Direct Referrals (DR)
Also permanent referrals registered under your name, but more rewarding. These are the people that you personally "bring" to the ptc sites. You can achieve this either by introducing the PTC concept to your circles (family, friends & people you know), or by expanding your online network (websites, blogs, social media etc.)
As opposed to the third type, the first two types of referrals are aquired in exchange for a small amount of money from the PTC sites. We have to clarify that this is not obligatory in any way and does not prevent you from making profit, if you choose to avoid it. However, you have the possibility of increasing your output greatly, as well as having results a lot sooner, by implementing more advanced (and costly) techniques, which we will describe in this next section of our guide. Before we move on, we have to emphasize that it's not recommended, for people that are not familiar yet with some details, to start making hasty investments, as this could lead into decrement instead of profit. If you want to succeed in ptc, patience is the key.
9. Upgrades
Ptc sites usually offer a number of possible upgrades to your account, in exchange for an amount of money.
By paying the related ammount for each site, you can upgrade your account to as many levels as each one of them allows you. By upgrading, your account output gets boosted by some priviledges you obtain, among which are : more $per click, more ads to click per day, better $yield of your referrals click, earning % of their upgrades or purchaces etc. We will examine this in more detail with an example in a while).
10. Advanced Features of PTC Sites
Since we are going to take a more in-depth look into the monetery outputs, timelines, membership upgrades and referral outputs, for convenience, we will use one of the most popular and trusted PTC sites ( Neobux ) as an example (due to differences between sites, as stated above).
