Why PTC Sites?

By Leonardo Syluancia

What are PTCs?

These are a type of HYIPs "high yield investment programs" designed to lure people into making easy money through the internet, and they are all basically a SCAM.

They pay or give credit to people who would simply "click" the ads posted in their site.

The call to make money online, whether through scamming other people, gambling, or plain hard work will be the driving force of anyone.

But why PTC?
Simply because it is the easiest!!!
But the downfall is it is the one that posts the greatest risk.

People continue to take those risks. Why?

because they believe they will succeed
because they believe they know how to succeed
because they believe they are better than those other clickers
because it is fun as well (for those who have nothing better to do)

How do PTCs work anyway?

PTCs gain members by offering them compensation for every click they make, either through points, cash, free ads etc.

The would-be advertisers then buy those clicks in the form of advertisement. The advertisers are very much aware of the fact that the site pays its members to click their ads.

Since both parties, the clickers and the advertisers are well aware of their roles, where is the scam part? There are a few advertisers who would end up paying these clickers. In short, the number of clickers clearly outnumber the advertisers. In order to give its members their compensation, PTCs need to come up with a source of funding other than from the real advertisers.

Briefly...

1. Gold, premium, or upgraded membership - the members will pay the PTCs a certain amount so that each of their click will be earning higher than usual and gain other, if any, benefits.

2. Selling un-referred of self-referred members to other members - PTCs pay for referral clicks.

I listed just two for they are the most obvious

PTCs continue to advertise on how much more they will pay its members by upgrading and by buying more referrals. In this way, PTCs gain funds from its members, and from these funds, they pay the other members. The cycle will continue wherein members will be investing through upgrading and buying referrals. For a time everything will be okay, until the PTCs dry out all the possible members or until the rate of payment to members exceeds the rate of investment. And when that time comes, the owner runs away with the remaining money...

Tips on how not to be SCAMMED

DO NOT JOIN PTCs???

Yes, I think that is the best solution.

But if you do think you are better than the rest of us, then by all means please do so.

Still, somehow I feel responsible for you so i will still give you the following:

1. Read the forums first. A lot of the posts are made by the creators themselves so please take time to read them. If they do not have any, then how will you know if they really pay?

2. Find out who runs the site. Known scammer site owner simply just create a new one once the last one has closed down.

3. Find out how long the site has been running. Remember that they do not have any products to sell other than clicking their self advertisements. If it is too "old", it will soon close down. If it is too "young" it might not grow old at all.

4. Read the TOS (Terms of Service), especially on the getting paid part.

5. It is better to find real referral than buying bots. It is free.

Getting referrals is your form of investment. Either you buy or refer others. You could also advertise the site to get your referrals.

How do someone earn through PTC sites?

There are simply no guarantees when it comes to this type of sites, but one can follow the following steps:

here are several methods how to earn in PTC sites, and it does not include solo clicking because if you do, you would end up clicking and clicking and clicking but not get paid at all.

If you do not have cash to spare or too afraid to invest, try the following:

1. Be a downline. It does not sound too good but this could be your first step. Find a good upline that would pay you back for your clicks. You will be able to earn faster if you could negotiate to be a referral on most (if not all) PTCs your upline has. You can then negotiate to your upline to combine your earnings and be paid. This is a lot faster than waiting a month or more to get to the minimum payout for a single PTC.

2. Advertise the site. Post your referral link to forums. It's free.

3. Refer real people or friends. This option, however, might make you the escape goat if you and your friends got scammed.

If you have cash to spare, you can do any or all of the following:

4. Rent/Buy referrals. This is of course a gamble. You might end up wasting money on inactive referrals or end up buying referrals again and again only to lose all you investments. Be strict on your budget.

5. Buy advertisement on other PTCs either by banners, links, or paid to sign ups. This is little cheaper than buying referrals but with less yield.

6. Referral cash back program. Offer money to people who would want to be your referral, and pay them.

Earn Money Typing at Home - Not With Fake PTC Sites

By Austin Millo

Have you burnt your fingers trying to earn money from clicking ads on PTC sites that promised to have you rolling in money in weeks? If you are one of those enterprising people who decided to utilize their spare time earning some spare cash and prop up your shaky finances by joining Paid To Click sites and have seen little or no money for your time and efforts, you might be feeling frustrated and dejected. The financial model on which true PTC sites are based is very closely linked to Affiliate Marketing - you need very good networking skills and have a great many contacts and referrals to earn decent money from such sites.

These skills are outside the ken of the average stay-at-home parent or student or retired professional. You may now want to choose something less risky and more tangible to base your income. There is a way you can do this - you could try to earn money typing at home.The jobs that involve typing at home are typically offered by online companies that want ads posted on websites - what they actually expect you to do is copywriting, or draft the ad by yourself. That may sound intimidating, especially if you have never done this sort of thing before, but the task can be actually easy.

The only requirement for this job is to be able to form sentences coherently and make sure that the ad you type is based on the keywords provided and easy to understand. There is no prior or specialized training required, all you need is a computer with an Internet connection. Moreover, there is no risk here, if you post an ad, you are paid for it - the payment does not depend on ad clicks. If you are still hesitant about availing the opportunity to earn money typing at home, there is more to come.

The major objection that a person, especially an ambitious one may have to a job that helps you earn money typing at home is that the income generated may be meager. It is true that you can't expect typing at home jobs to generate the kind of income that a full-time job can. However, if a typist is able to generate referrals for the company's services or if the typist is able to generate a considerable number of traffic to the site through ad clicks, the potential for earning money increases tremendously.

Best Paying PTR and PTC - Websites That Pay

By Steve Hiatt

For people who did not know this yet, PTR and PTC sites are the same PTR stands for "paid to read" and PTC for "paid to click". These sites have been very popular through the net in the last few years. They give people a chance to earn real money with it.

However there are so many sites that it's just impossible to join them all, and we want a quality PTC/PTR sites that don't run off after some months with the money that many people clicked for. I've joined quite a lot of these sites and sometimes I encountered some sites that just didn't paid me. Luckily there are more paying sites then scamming ones.

It's always nice to join many PTC/PTR. For me they are just the perfect way to save some money for gifts and to go out. I'm always clicking on them while I'm chatting or surfing on the net so I barely notice anything about them.

Like I would say " A great way to earn extra money without doing almost any efforts for it and without even noticing it in my case"

Currently I'm writing some reviews about these PTC sites, but because of my lack of time I've only managed to write some good reviews about some of the best PTC/PTR sites. If you're planning to join a site then I would really recommend you to take a look at my little blog that will grow by time. It will give you as much information as possible.

5 Questions to Ask to Find Out a Good PTC Site

By Shanmugam Piramanayagam

Registering in paid-to-click sites or PTC sites is one of the easiest ways to earn money. It is really cool that you can get paid for what you really do on the internet. The phrase 'get paid to surf the internet' looks really great, but is it really great?

Unfortunately, the answer is 'No'. Because, it is much difficult to find out a good site among hundreds of scam sites out there and even if you find one, unless you have a couple of hundred referrals, you cannot earn some money that you can call as 'earning'.

So, how to find out if a PTC site is a scam or a good one?

There are five important questions which you have to ask to find out the truth.

1.Is it too good to be true?

Stay away!

No one can run a business without a reasonable profit and the offers that claim to give a lot to you actually take a lot from you and disappear.

2. How much variety is there in the type of ads shown and what is the number of sites that advertise in the paid-to-click site that you have signed up for?

If a PTC site is struggling hard to get advertisers and show only self serving ads, then it is doubtful that the site can pay you in the time it has promised.

3. How is the feedback of public?

Most of the members post the issues about PTC sites in forums and hence you can easily find out where the site stands. Do a Google search with the phrase '[sitename] + scam'.. If it is really scam, then the first page of the search results is enough to show it out.

If the site itself has a forum, it is a bit trustworthy. Go there and check the posts.

4. Do the FAQ and 'Terms of service' clear enough?

This is important for two reasons. Most of the PTC sites use the same script for their sites. If the site is scam, then site owner may not really care to edit the FAQ section and leave it with the default content. The default content may show a wrong minimum payout value or something else.

Second reason is, most of the sites hide their minus points inside the 'Terms of service'. For example, it may say that when $100 is paid out, a $25 commission will be deducted.

5. How good and stable is the site?

A good PTC site will have its own paid domain and will not be hosted in a subdomain or a free domain like co.nr, .tk etc. The site should be always up, should do a really good spam check, should be easy to navigate and make people comfortable to browse. If it does this all, then it means that the site owner has made a good investment on the site and should have enough money to pay its members.

Lastly, remember that PTC sites cannot make you rich. They can only give you some pocket money for some online purchases. But if you are really sincere and smart, you can make something higher.

Thanks, Shanmugam P

PTC Beginners Tips

By Hossam Elgharraz

1. Use Different Usernames and passwords
Well basically In PTC, if you have an insecure password or use password on two sites, there's a chance your account will get hacked, and your balance cashed out to there account. Want to stop this? You'll need a secure user name/password which is what this guide is for. User name: You may think: what's the harm in using the same username on every site? Well the risk is extremely but till existent, of an admin of another PTC site where you use the same username will come and hack your account. Or someone Might just hack your password using tools or luck. How to make unique on each site? Well there are quite a few networks of PTC's with the same owners so you can use the same user name there, (for example the latin PTC network the paid clicks network the titan cash network etc) so you can save time and effort there. If you use only decent PTC's then you should only need 4 or 5 user names Password:Base rules: don't ever use the same password twice (except maybe on networks - your choice) and never use the same password for a PTC as you do for your PayPal/alertpay account. Try to use uppercase lower case and numbers in your password. A few good password examples:Fgn145JklP87RG12grwant even more secure? Use at least 10 characters JK12joo98KJFfF900aFfFTTFaF21135off course don't use these as there examples. Trusting thousands of dollars in an account? Use a password like thisPjRT1T5HHHas5.9561thats all, hope you don't get hacked....

2. First look what PTC is about ..
Most PTC Sites will let you view ads before you register look at the ads and the minimum payout and enter those into the calculator below. If the PTC Site has a Forum, view the Payment Proof/Success Stories section(s) for payment proofs .Some PTC Sites have a Total Paid statistic. If the number is over $100 and there are payment proofs, it is probably a trusted site If you are constantly receiving referrals, it is time to upgrade if the premium membership gives you more for referral link If you are on a forum that allows referral links/images, put a referral link in your signature Sometimes, the PTC site may display an advertisement that has many images. (Such as Payment Proofs) To make it take a lot less time, click on a link within the page that goes to something else that doesn't have images. (Such as My stats)

3. Investment in PTC's -
1) Always check for other people having success from investing at that PTC If there's any bad ones you might not want to invest at all!
2) Make sure the site pays in under half a month, anything more is extra time to get your ROI (return on investment).
3) The deal must have a high probability of earning itself back within 45-60 days MAX (including cash out time) Anything higher is unlikely to be worth your time4) Never Use New sites, There's no telling how fast they might disappear (sites under 2 months are not wise investments)
4) You should of been paid at least once personally by the site. While this is not always necessary it is very useful.
5) Only assume half your referrals will be active unless the site states otherwise, this will help you plan better new tips since edit button came back
6): Keep away from bux.to unless you hate money that much... And if you do hate it send all your money to me...
7) sites with $0.01 or higher will often die quickly

4. Upgrades-
Look for outrageous other the top claims (1,000% referral earnings for example) which will make the site a scam. The tips stated above should be about 99% full proof when investing on any PTC site and should help you make a good ROI (return on investment)

5. Click More than one site at once-
A lot of you may already do this as a quicker way to get through all of the ptc sites. I currently use Firefox. But I just have like 3 browsers open and I am on like 1 or 2 PTC sites on each browser. This will definitely keep you busy plus you will earn more than doing one or maybe even 2 at a time. With internet explorer, when you click on a link it opens up in a new window, with opera or Firefox whenever you click on a link it just opens in a new tab. Hope this helps..

Other useful tips -
First you will have to register in as many websites as you can. Try to click in as many ads as you can until you have enough cash for referrals. After you have enough cash already, don't get it out of the website! Leave it there for now. Create a blog and post there all your ref links, don't forget to say something about each site. Now that you have your blog done, convert all your cash into Ad links, this way you will have more chances to get lots of referrals in your down line. Don't worry, the refs will take sometime to come along, but when they start piling up, that's when you start cashing a lot. Don't forget to keep clicking the ads as well; this will be necessary for the next step. After the first month with referrals in your down line, the cash that you made ONLY by you clicking ads, convert it again in more Ad links

As you can see, no problems, no stress and no spamming on the web, a simple guide that uses the best resources for your max profits. This way you will never loose promising referrals and you never loose any money, since your referrals are winning it for you.

A Review of the Top GPT Sites

By April M Dowling

For those of you interested in GPT sites, you are probably wondering which ones are the best to join. When joining these sites, there are certain qualities you should look for in the site, because not all GPT sites are created equal.

First of all, you may ask, "What are GPT Sites?" GPT sites (Get-Paid-To) are basically sites where you complete small tasks (like offers, surveys, quizzes, etc.) for money. The offers can be either trial offers or free offers. Try to only join sites that are constantly updating their offers by adding new ones on a daily or weekly basis. If the site is not updating their offers, you are going to eventually run out of offers to complete and stop earning money.

Trial offers are offers where you need to use your credit card to complete them and then when the trial period is over, cancel your subscription. In the end, you make way more than you paid for the trial. These offers pay anywhere from $1 to $100 depending on the offer and they are a fun way to try out new products that you might have not been able to afford otherwise. Free offers do not charge you anything to complete and they are most popular. They mainly consist of quizzes, surveys, etc. They are the most popular on GPT Sites. Free offers pay usually $.10 to $1.00. If you complete a lot of free offers you can really increase your earnings.

Another important part of GPT sites is their referral program. Some sites allow members to earn up to 100% from their referrals earnings. It is important to have a lot of referrals in order to make some serious money online, because the more referrals you have the more money you make. Having a lot of referrals is basically like earning money automatically in your sleep. They earn, you earn. It's that simple. Try to join the sites with the best referral programs.

The most important part of GPT sites is whether they pay or not. Before you should join any site, you should look at the reviews on it. IM Report Card is a good place to search for reviews on sites. Keep in mind that not all reviews are correct. Some people may say that a site is a scam when they really never tested it out to find out if it paid or not. If you are in doubt about a site, just test it yourself to see if it really pays.

If you find "A Review On The Top GPT Sites" useful and would like to know where to start, please visit http://www.topgptsites.info. There you will find all of the best GPT sites with detailed information about their referral programs, payments, etc. You can also learn how to get referrals to build a big downline which equals more money for you.

GPT Sites Taking Over the Online Business World

By Joe Malone

A year ago, almost nobody was familiar with GPT sites. It seemed that if you had any interest in making money, MLM was the way to go. Now, people are looking for something where they can earn money quicker, without dealing with the years of struggling and rejection usually associated with MLM.

What is GPT? GPT, or Get Paid Today, is a business model in which you get paid now, for the work that you are doing now. You do not need to sponsor x number of people who each sell or use x number of products to raise your level, or any of the structure associated with MLM. GPT sites are businesses in which you have a product, you market it, you get paid.

How is this different that a traditional business? If you are building a GPT business the right way, you will require nowhere near the investment amount needed for most traditional businesses. You will not need employees, or a location other than your computer desk to build you business. A good Get Paid Today business will not require you to stock up on products, but will allow you customers easy access to your product or service.

How are GPT sites affecting the business world? Get Paid Today businesses are taking over the business world. People are moving away from their MLM opportunities to start making money now. This is hurting the MLM companies, and for the people who are acting fast, it is helping them create massive income streams. People are starting to make money in their business sooner, which is helping motivate them and keep them pushing. This is the opposite of MLM. While MLM is legal, many companies have been referred to as scams because people get in them, don't make money, and then bad mouth them. They have extremely high dropout rates. More people are staying focused on their GPT sites, and the results are showing.

How do I spot a good GPT business? Spotting a good Get Paid Today business is the same as spotting any good business. They want to have a quality product. They need to be running a legal, ethical business. They need to offer you the proper education to help you build you business the right way. Unfortunately, most GPT, MLM, and business opportunities in general, tend to be missing one or more of these key characteristics.

What GPT sites have everything needed to build a successful business? I have done a lot of searching for the best businesses out there. In the end, 2 companies rise above the rest. They are Global Resorts Network, which offers the product, and Carbon Copy Pro, which offers the education. These companies merged together to create an unparalleled business opportunity. They have created a GPT company, in which you can earn $1,000 commissions, partnered with the ultimate education company, which not only teaches you how to build your GPT business, but also gives you the opportunity to earn $25 - $150 commissions. The two companies work hand in hand to ensure your business success. Get a taste of what CC Pro has to offer HERE.

GPT Sites - Best Get Paid Today Opportunity

By Lucien Bechard

GPT, which stands for (Get Paid Today) is a term that's opening a lot of network marketers eyes. Network marketers are getting sick and tired of receiving tiny MLM checks, and they've been crying out for something to be done about it. They can't survive on the little bit of income they are making. They need to get paid significantly up front for their efforts, and GPT is that answer. So how can you receive the benefits of GPT, and who are the best GPT sites? Let's take a look into why GPT is so important.

So what is GPT and why is it so important to success in the network marketing industry?

It's an answer to tiny MLM checks, disappearing downlines, and the "what's new" mentality that's taken over the industry. The concept of getting paid today focuses on paying you thousands of dollars up front for the work you do in weeks and months, not years. The great part is that you don't have to build huge MLM downlines to receive its benefits.

For years now, MLM companies have talked about how great residual income is and why it's so important to receive it. Residual income is a tremendous concept and it's still important till this day, but things have changed dramatically in the MLM industry. Since distributors can't hold on long enough to receive the benefits of residual income, they are leaving their current MLM companies to join the latest "get rich quick" companies.

Network marketers are going broke trying to build traditional network marketing businesses because they can't afford purchasing products, business tools, and committing to monthly auto-shipping. If they were getting paid significantly up front, they would have a better chance of survival.

In today's world, network marketing isn't the way it used to be. Since the arrival of the internet, peoples mentalities have changed. They want instant results, convenience, and they don't want to follow the traditional network marketing concepts that have been around the industry forever.

People are switching from MLM company to MLM company desperately trying to find an opportunity that works. Every time this happens, distributors downlines disappear. They have to start all over again trying to rebuild their business, only to have it disappear all over again. It's a never ending cycle.

The sad thing is that network marketers are falling for the trap of thinking that joining a new business will solve their problems. Everywhere you go on the internet you see terms like "pre-launch", "ground-floor", "reserve your spot", and "enroll now.

These are ways to try to get people to think they will make it if they just join the latest and greatest opportunity. The truth is, these network marketers will still have the same failure rate because they won't hang in there long enough to make money. Just joining a new business opportunity will not put money into your pockets.

So who are the best GPT sites and are these companies really legit? Here are some things that you should know about the best GPT sites. The legitimate sites will not tell you that you will get rich quick. They won't say "we will build a downline" for you, just "reserve your spot." They also won't tell you that you won't have to invest any money to succeed. And here are the big one's.

They won't have you "make a list of friends and family", hassle them to "show the plan", and continue with this never ending cycle. Here's the deal. The only way you will ever succeed in network marketing is to become a master marketer. Marketing is the key. The top GPT sites will teach you each step how to become a master marketer, and how to truly succeed in the network marketing industry.

To become a master marketer you will need to invest money to succeed. If you need to invest money, you need to be making money. The reason why most people quit MLM is because the run out of money fast, and become frustrated thinking it doesn't work.

The truth is MLM companies and uplines aren't teaching their distributors how to build a business the right way, and they aren't paying them enough for their efforts. If they were getting paid significantly up front for their efforts, they would be able to hang in there long enough to achieve their dreams. It's time to make a change and start getting paid today.

Are you ready to get paid today? That's a dumb question right? Of course you are. Well here you go then. My Lead System Pro will teach you how to get up to 19 checks per month, earn upwards of $519.17 per day, and personally sponsor 107 reps into your primary business in 60 days or less marketing 1 simple website!

As a thank you for taking the time to read my article I'm going to give you access to my free Facebook marketing training. In this exclusive 76 minute webinar you'll learn the step by step blueprint of how you can spend only 30 minutes a day on Facebook to create endless raving fans that are ready to buy from you with their wallets in hand.

Real GPT Sites - How to Find High Paying GPT Sites

By Navtej Singh Aujla

Today, with the internet you can make money easily with GPT sites. But the problem is finding the real ones because out of the millions of GPT sites on the web, only a few are any good. The rest are all scams or they do not pay you very well. In fact, 9 out of 10 sites will be scams, so you really have to be awake when looking for a GPT. Luckily, I know of a great trick that can help you avoid ending up in the 90%.

First thing is, do not use search engines because you will never get good results. The search engines job is to provide you with a list of sites that you can join, but it does not separate the real from the scam site. Many people have the habit of using them every time they need to find information and that is also what encourages people to create spam sites that waste your time. They know people are going to click on any site and join it. So you have to be wiser than them!

Now for the trick, use big forums to your advantage! There are people who share their experience with various GPT sites to help others out. The members of big forums are loyal and will only give you honest answers. Do not use smaller forums as the site is not established so there are always a bunch of spammers wasting your time and misleading you.

Once you have found a legitimate site, you can start earning money through the internet!

Here is review of How To Find High Paying GPT Sites

Joe Carter is a professional on Online Paid Surveys, he runs the resource site Real Online Survey Site where he reviews the top online survey sites for you to join. Finding a legitimate survey site has never been this simple!

Best GPT Sites - How to Dominate the 4 Best GPT Sites

By Nate S.

People love GPT (Get Paid To) sites, and for good reason. They provide a fantastic opportunity to earn some serious cash. But among the hundreds, what are the best GPT sites? As we continue I will show you which are the best, but more importantly how you can dominate the four best GPT sites to earn a substantial amount of money.

Rating according to the factors that matter most, (longevity, record of paying their members and referral program), the best GPT sites are: Cashcrate, DealBarbiePays, TreasureTrooper and GangsterGreed.

As you sign up with each site, which is a very self-explanatory task once you arrive, you will want to start off with what are called the "free offers". These are the offers that require nothing from your part, and usually take the form of a survey. You fill out a quick survey and are immediately rewarded with cash in your account. All of the best GPT sites will have these free offers available.

As you learn and progress you will want to venture into other offers. Some will require a purchase on your part or a FREE trial. One example might be, if you sign up for a Netflix membership (an awesome offer anyway, I use it all the time) you might need to pay $9.99 for the first month, although you will be given $30 from your GPT site, and then at the end of one month you can decide whether or not you would like to continue your Netflix membership. Hundreds of dollars can be made this way each month, and many offers won't cost you a thing.

Lastly, a sign of the best GPT sites is to have a great referral program. These sites will give you between 15% and 30% of everything that your referrals earn each month, and then even more money for the offers that their referrals earn! It can quickly become a very stable and residual income for you, believe me.
