This guide will explain you what is PTC (Paid To Click) and how you can start earning money with these programs within next five minutes. So, lets begin... 


What Is PTC And How It Works?

PTC is a simple form of marketing where advertisers pay you to view their ads. Obviously, advertisers are not going to pay directly to you, they will use the service of PTC programs. These PTC programs  are operating as middleman between advertisers and you by organizing all the process. So in order to be able to get paid for viewing those sponsored ads you will have to create an account in at least one PTC program.

Things You Will Need

To earn money with PTC  you don`t need to have any special knowledge's and no investments are required. And that means everybody can do that. All You need is:

• Computer With Access to Internet - I recommend you to use your private computer instead of public (library, internet cafe etc.), because some of the PTC sites have strict rules against using public them.
  

• Email Address - you will need a valid email address to register with  PTC sites.

• PayPal / AlertPay account - You will need a PayPal and/or Alertpay account to receive Your payments from PTC sites. Almost every PTC site uses either one or both of these payment processors to pay to their members. Once You have your money in Your PAyPal / AlertPay account You can easily transfer  to Your bank account. And it`s absolutely free to register account with these payment processors.

How To Earn Money With PTC

There are two ways how you can earn money with Paid To Click sites - by viewing ads and by referring others. Don`t worry even if you don`t refer a single person you can still earn money with PTC, although it`s obvious that you will ear much more if you will get at least few referrals.

Earn Money Viewing Ads - the primary way of earning money with PTC is by viewing ads. Just log in the PTC site where you have an account and go to section where sponsored ads are listed.
You have to view the ad for a certain period of time, usually it form 5 to 45 seconds.You will get paid around 0,01$ per ad (varies depending on PTC site and your membership type). You can click the sponsored ads only once evry 24 hours.So, after you have clicked all the available ads, be sure to come back on next day and view them again.
Once your earnings have reached the minimum payout (usually between 1$ -10$) you can can receive your earning to your PayPal / AlertPay account.

Earn More From Your Referrals - referrals are all the people you have invited to join the PTC site. In order to refer a person you must use your referral link or banner (you can find them in your PTC sites members area).

PTC Site will pay you not only for ads viewed by you, but also for ads viewed by your referrals. Most of the PTC sites will pay you 50% - 100% of your referrals earning (the money is not taken away from your referrals nor will it be taken from you if you will join as someones referral). Here is an example of what would be your earnings if you would have 10 referral for PTC site that`s paying 0,01 $ per click and 0,01 $ per referral click

You click 5 ads per day = $0.05
10 referrals click 5 ads per day = $0.50
Your daily earnings = $0.55
Your weekly earnings = $3.85
Your monthly earnings = $15.40

This is just an example of what could be your earning for one PTC site, but you can join five, ten or even more PTC sites. Of course, in real life your referrals will not click each and every day, they probably will miss out some days. But I hope You get the idea how important it is to get referrals.

There are lot of different ways to get referrals. You can invite Your friends, You can do a referrals exchange or join a manual traffic exchange and promote your referral links there for free and so on. For more information about how to get referrals click here.

How to Create a List of Best PTC Sites

You have to get some referrals to earn more with PTC and if you are like most of the people who earn money with PTC then you are a member of more than just one or two PTC sites. So most likely you are going to promote all of the PTC sites you are member of at once.

There are many free services you can use to create a list of PTC sites you are earning with. The two most popular are Blogger and Weebly


Creating a list of PTC sites you are earning with can be a good way to get some referrals. I have seen hundreds of lists of Best PTC sites, Trusted PTC etc., but majority of them are just not good or atleast not as good as they might be, because they don`t do what they were created for (make me want to join) and sometimes they are so messy that it`s even hard to understand what and why someone created something like that.

Some tips on how to make your list of PTC sites even better:

Choose a simple template/layout- If you are going to create a website that will contain only few pages, than you will not need a template with lot of images , JavaScript or Flash elements. I recommend you to choose the most simple template, layout, because it will have better load time and that`s important for SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Don't overload your website with banners and ads - lot of people are making a huge mistake overloading the sidebar of website with advertisements, banners etc. I don`t recommend doing that, because:

• it distracts visitors from most important part of your website - your list of PTC sites;
• it is bad for SEO - lot of outgoing links and slower load time for your website;
• they are useless and most likely you are not going to earn much with them that way
  
• it dose not look good.
  

You should display some ads of course, but try to organize them.

Create "About Me" and "Contacts" pages - I think it`s absolutely necessary if you are going to get traffic from website/blog comments, because the main motivation for visitors who follows your links in website/blog comments is to get some information about the author of the comment. so don`t disappoint them. And if people are interested in who you are, they might be interested in contacting you too.
Another good reason for creating "About Me" and "Contacts" pages is that it gives others option to inform you, for example, if one of PTC sites You are promoting has turned into SCAM.
I`m not sure, but I think people might feel more comfortable to join PTC sites you are promoting, if they could see who`s promoting them.

Explain the list - I have seen only few lists with any comment about why PTC site are listed the way they are (is it because one PTC site has better design then other?... or better security?... ). If Your list is for experianced clickers, it`s absolutley OK, but for people who are new to PTC it might be confusing to chose withs one to join and why? at least it was for me when I started.

Analyze traffic - You should use Google Analytics, Statcounter or any other free tool to analyze your traffic (where your visitors is coming from, how much time they are spending on your website, and where and how they leave your website). It will give you some understanding of how to improve your list and make it even more effective.

These are some of qualities I think a good list of PTC sites should have to convert traffic into sign ups. Any ideas, experiance or comments?

How can You fight the PTC SCAM

If you earn money with PTC you should fight the PTC SCAM. Here are few simple things you can do.

Investigate and report - if you have a bad felling about some PTC site, look for some more information and discus it in PTC forums like PTC talk or Earn Money Space. If it turns out that you were right and the PTC site is SCAM, report it. You can submit SCAm report on forums, your blog or any other blog that has PTC SCAM list.

Don`t help them - if there is something worst than being scammed than it`s being used by cheaters to scam others too. That is why if you have a website or where you promote some PTC sites it is your responsibility to fallow the latest information about these PTC sites (join some forums and follow other blogs). You must be able to take an immediate action if something happens with these PTC sites - remove the banners and inform your readers about it.

Stop others from helping them - if you have come across website that promotes PTC SCAM site give a minute or two to inform the author website/blog that the PTC site hes/her is promoting is SCAM. It`s sad too see that some authors disallow comments on they`r blogs :(
