PTC? I won't define those 3 letters anymore since most of you probably know it better than me. Moreover, these websites did a pretty well job in defining it on their FAQ's. Although of course, all of the answers on those FAQ's are in favor of the site and appear to be in favor of it's members as well. Perhaps it is. Perhaps...!
But why do a lot of people ended up frustrated with these paid to click sites?
Well, there’s a lot of reasons why. But mainly, it is simply because they joined these sites without knowing the things that they should have known before joining. I’ve listed 5 of them below.
Must-know #1:
Your a dumb if you believe you gonna be rich by clicking ads. You're probably more than that if you quit your job because of PTC sites!
PTC paid 1/10 to a single cent per advertisement views which last for 10-30 seconds. Come to think of it.
There's no doubt that these sites can give you extra dosh but hey! Those aren't enough to be your source of income.
Here’s an example:
If you’re earning a minimum wage about $7.5 per hour X 8hrs; will give you a net pay of 60 bucks/day. (approx. $1200/month with regular working days)
If you’re a standard member of 10 PTC sites and click 5 advertisements for each of them consistently everyday, you’ll get $15/month
computation:
5advertisement clicks X $0.01(paid per click) = $0.05 (5cents)
$0.05 X 10(PTC sites) = $0.5 (50 cents)
That means you’ll get 50 cents a day multiply by 30days = $15/month
Now, how much time did you spend to earn that 15 bucks?
Let’s see:
Most PTC sites paid 1 cent for 30 seconds advertisement views.
Since you’re viewing 5 ads for each of 10 sites, then you’ll viewing 50 ads a day.
50 ads X 30 seconds = 1500 seconds (25 minutes)
Analysis:
On PTC, you’ll earn 1 dollar and 20 cents per hour compare to $7.5/hr. minimum wage. Imagine that. If you quit your job then you’re a real dumb! I don’t think I still need to explain further. Do the math!
If you're jobless, PTC is not what you need. C'mon! Don't be just a hopeless moron. But if you really think your time costs that cheap, then so be it.
Must-know#2:
Joining every PTC sites ain’t fun!
As I’ve already mentioned above, the earnings you get by clicking ads cannot compensate even a minimum wage of a regular job. Now, If you’re jobless, and no plans of finding a real job outside your room, then it’s up to you.
Recently, I've read a blog of a PTC genius wanna-be. He said he already earn a lot from the PTC sites he listed, and blah!blah!blah! and he just wanna share his secret. His advice, join as many PTC sites as you can. Oh yeah! Join thousand of those sites and die in your freakin room clicking ads!
It might sound a smart strategy for a newbie. Well, not at all. There are only few sites who's really paying a descent amount and on time. One should be careful in joining any of these sites since most of them are scam.
[I won't list them here as it's not what this blog for. You can find a lot of sites who's making a review about every ptc sites though.] Just make sure that you can cash out your earnings and won't just remain as "balance." Check out some other blogs and you'll see a lot of complaints from members who requested for their payment and took ages to get it. Others didn't got theirs at all.
Another reason is, there are very few PTC sites that can be consider as fair. For example, PTC-X pays 1cent per 30 second advertisement view; PTC-Y also pays 1cent but each ads lasts for 60 seconds. Can you see the difference? I would rather suggest to learn more about a certain legit PTC that you wanna join, google a lot of infos, read posts & blogs on its forum, try to contact some members if possible, and make a smart investment.
P.S.
I wouldn't waste 30 seconds of my precious time with those who pay 1/10 of a cent! Holly cow! It would take ages before you can get a single dollar for that! What could be worse is when the site just vanished when you're about to cash out.
Must know#3:
You won't survive in PTC sites by clicking alone. Referrals exist brotha! Moreover, you won't survive without investing even a single penny. These are the reasons why you see some members complaining that they aren't getting paid while others do. Most probably, members who never invested before will be the last to get paid. It's no bias. This is how the business works. You'll keep those who make profit and forget those who do not! You might see some blogs or posts saying they earned without investing a single cent and showing some screen shots of they paypal/alert pay receipt. Well, you might have heard of photo shop already right? I, myself can post a paypal payment receipt showing that I've earned $1,000,000. I hope you're getting my point here. You cannot earn without investing anything but it's possible to earn big by investing a little.
Investment could be a membership upgrade, referral rentals, or advertising purchased.
Warning! Invest with caution.
Make sure to read the site Terms and Conditions until you fully understand everything. If anything seems unclear to you, don't hesitate to ask the admin, moderators or pioneer members on the forum or send a ticket directly to the support team.
Must know #4:
Basic math is a major requirement in joining PTC sites.
Of course most people probably know how to count, but they do not care to do so. They're just concern with the figure that they're seeing in they're account status. Trust me, you can earn more if you know how to do the math properly.
I'll give you some example of wrong investment here.
If you bought an upgrade without any referrals yet, then you just gave a free money to the site owner. Let's see why.
Let's say an upgrade costs $90 for 360 days. Your advertisements to click increase from 4 to 8 but each click still costs 1 cent. That gives you an 8 cents earning per day.
$0.08 X 360 days = $28.8
Your total earnings for one year is only 28.8 dollars with an upgraded account that costs $90. Congratulations! You just donated $61.2 to the site owner.
All right, I know most of you ain't that fool! Let's try another one.
Let's say you invested on referrals without upgrading. You rented 100 referrals for $25 which going to click for you in 1month. Each referral click costs half a cent. Based on my experience, lets predict that only 75 of them will be active. Those 75 click an average of 2 ads/day.
2 X $0.005 =$0.01
75 X $0.01 = $0.75/day ($22.5/month)
It means you just lost $2.5 since you invested 25 and get 22.5 in return.
Ooops! Hang on there. These are just examples.
Let us try a better example.
What if you invested on both. You upgraded your account and you rented 500 referrals.
As an upgraded member, you'll earn a minimum of 8 cents daily from your personal clicks.
upgrade cost: $65
500 rented referrals cost: $100 (+ $450 renewal fee for 5 months)
investment period: 180 days (6months)
total investment: $615
*tip: Rented referral costs cheaper for upgraded member.
analysis:
your personal clicks:
$0.08 x 180 days = $14.40
rr clicks: (since the minimum ads per day is 4, let's assume that the average click of each referral is 2)
500 RR x 180 days x $0.01 x 2 clicks = $1800
total earnings for 6 months: $1814.40
profit: $1199.40
**to derive the profit, subtract the total amount of investment from the total earnings.
Some members keep their standard membership due to lack of investment capital. They're struggling just to get a single dollar. The good thing is, there's always someone like myself who's willing to help.
I keep in touch with my direct referrals as I want them to remain active for the benefit of both of us; Keep them motivated and guide them until they get on track. Most important is, I'm rewarding them with real money for staying active. They can use that reward to invest and get their own referrals and once they collect enough amount, they can be an upgraded member, too.
Must-know #5:
You can earn money before actually signing up with PTC sites.
Aside from clicking ads, there are other ways to get paid in some PTC sites, like paid to sign up, paid to read, paid to watch (videos), etc. Some people are willing to pay a descent amount for those who will sign up under them and will promise to click a certain amount of ads or will just be active. I'm one of those, actually. If you're a newbie, don't just sign up yet. Try to do a little job and look for those people who's willing to pay you just by signing up under them. Of course you know that they'd earn from you as their referrals, and you won't lose anything, in fact, you're gonna earn something right?
For any questions, feel free to inbox me here.
NB!
You need a PAYPAL or ALERT PAY account in order to cash out your earnings from any of these PTC sites. Others also use other payment processors like Neteller and Liberty Reserve.
