What is Pay to Click (PTC)


PAID TO CLICK

Pay to click is when advertisers have a website and plans on selling something, for them to promote their ads; they need visitors on their websites. Normally, it can take months or even years to get a new website pushed up in the rankings in the better search engines. That is why they need to hire the service of PTC advertising wherein their ads are placed in different directories, then paid a certain amount of money each time a visitor click on their ads.

When you sign up to these PTC programs, you get paid to click on advertisers ads and visit their websites. PTC advertising provides 10 to 15 ads per day for you to visit. You simply click on their ads and view a website for 10 or sometimes 30 seconds. Then after the timer stops, you have to click the number on the box for you to be credited 0.01 cents.

Note: always check for their tos, cons and faqs for more information.

EARNINGS

Since 0.01c is just a little amount, the strategy to make more money is to join multiple programs and earn from each of them each day. It’s best to join 10 to 20 programs and earn from all of them. The work is simple but it needs a little patience. It will take some time to earn more.

This is not a get rich quick program( remember you are going to earn a few cents per click, any program promising you an amount of $1 or more per click is a scam.

You click on 10 PTC links in a day at $0.01 per click
= $0.10 in earnings

You have 20 referrals that click the same links
= $2.00 in earn
ings

Total per day for that program
= $2.10

You repeat this with 10 PTC/PTR programs
= $21.00 per day

Approximately $630.00 per month

Approximately $7,560 per year

INCREASE YOUR EARNINGS

If you want to increase your earnings buying or renting referrals can help you. You can also get your referrals via word of mouth or by advertising in free sites; although it’s not necessary to have your referrals it can help you boost your income, you will earn half of what they earn. Let’s say your referrals click 10 ads for 0.10c, you are also entitled to earn 0.05c aside from what they will earn themselves.

Upgrading (optional) is another way to earn more, you will have more privilege like more ads to click and you can earn as much as what your referrals earn, for example your referrals click 10 ads for 0.10c you will also earn the same amount.

GETTING STARTED

If your web browser does not have a good pop up blocking capabilities, you need Google chrome. This is one of the latest web browsers with excellent pop up blockers, tabbed browsing and its free. You can download it here.

Most programs will ask for your PayPal or alert pay address for payment when you signup, so the very first thing you need is to sign up for PayPal and alert pay account. These two programs are free so you have nothing to worry.

Requirements for PayPal and alert pay are valid email address and credit or debit card (note: If you don’t have a credit or debit card yet, it’s just ok to leave it first. Just verify your account if you will have to cash out your earnings)

These two programs are free so you have nothing to worry.
