PTC Starter Guide

What is a Paid to Click site?
A Paid to Click site (PTC), is a site which advertisers use to market their websites, products and services. Members (like you and me) register on the site and view the ads. For each ad you view you are paid a certain amount. The current standard is $0.01 (keep reading to learn how to make much more) and you will need to view each ad for 30 seconds.

How Does It Work?
The process is amazingly simple. Once you create a free account on the websites given on this website, you can start clicking on links that these sites are provided under the tabs like “View ads”, “Surf Ads” etc. You will view the advertised website for at least 30 seconds and then click a button in order to confirm your viewing. Your earnings will automatically be deposited into your account! Once you reach website's minimum payout, you can withdraw your earnings for cold hard cash.

There are 3 simple steps to start making money. These are:

1. Sign up For an Email Account
2. Sign up to a Payment Processor
3. Register on PTC sites

1. Sign up For a Email Account
You should create a new email address which is different from the one that you regularly use. This way your personal and paid emails will never mix up. We suggest that you create a new email id on Google or Yahoo and sign up to these PTC websites using that id.

2. Sign up for a Payment Processor
Create a payment processor account. This is where the PTC sites send your payments. Click
on banners to create your account for free. Click Signup And Choose Personal Account.

3. Registering on PTC sites
The most important thing about this process is picking the right sites to register with. The best places to start with the PTC Sites that provided on the "Best PTC" Page. These sites have been chosen by me, to provide you a list of sites that I feel are best suited to people new to the PTC concept.

Things to consider when joining include:

* Amount you are paid per ad click
* Amount you make for every referral’s click
* Minimum payout
* Payment time
* Support (is there a forum?)
* Cost to upgrade to premium membership
* Reputation

Research each site (that I haven’t listed) and make sure there is proof of people getting paid. Keep track of which sites you join using Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, pen and paper or any other method you want. This is definitely recommended if you are going to join lots of sites. Also I strongly advise that you have a different password for PTC sites and AlertPay and Paypal. This way your earnings are more secure.

After Registration follow these Steps

* Login to these sites and look for the Surf ads or View ads link.
* Once you click that link, you will see 5-10 ads.
* Click on first ad and wait for 30 seconds, you will see a timer on the top of the page.

* Once the 30 seconds are over you will see a Green tick mark, which implies that you are
credited with money for viewing that ad.

* Similarly follow the same for all other ads and all other sites.
* You have to login daily and click on the ads. Each program will have 5-10 ads.
* You can only click the ads once in 24 hours.
* Do not open multiple ads with multiple windows from the same website! you will not
get credited. Open one ad in one window at a time.
* Of course you can open ads from multiple websites at the same time.


Here I am giving an example for your earnings, If You'll get paid $0.01 for each website you personally view and $0.005 for each website your referrals view. Then your total earnings are

* you click 10 ads per day = $0.10
* 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $1.00
* your daily earnings = $1.10
* your monthly earnings = $33

If you join 10 PTC Sites, you earn $330 per month!

The above example is based only on 20 referrals and 10 daily clicks. Some days you will have more clicks available, some days you will have less. What if you had more referrals? What if there were more ads available?

The best method is to have between 10 and 15 sites and concentrate on consistently clicking
the ads and gaining referrals for your chosen these sites. However, other people believe that is better to be registered on up to 50 sites. If you want more sites I have provided that one in the "New PTC " page.
