What is PTC and How Does it Work?

Paid-To-Click (PTC) is an online business opportunity for people who want to earn money, but are either unable to hold down a regular job or want to run things for themselves.  I mean, I am not suggesting you quit your regular job or something, but the PTC industry is one option for those who want to be independent and don't like taking orders from bosses all the time.

The basics of PTC are really very simple:

First, you just create an account with one of the money online banking websites like PayPal or AlertPay.  These are the two most commonly used.  These websites serve as collection points for your money online and after you have your account properly verified then you can easily transfer the money to your bank account in most countries.  Personally, I prefer AlertPay because I am able to access my account no matter where I am which means I can still access my account while I am living or traveling abroad too.  PayPal is a little tougher about that.  If you login to PayPal while you are abroad they are apt to freeze your account until you submit tons of paperwork, utility bills and who knows what else just to unlock your account again. After you have created your online money account, its time for the next step.

Step 2:  You just click the links on the left column of this site.  There are several sites listed because these are the sites I have learned from experience which pays the best and are most reliable.  Once you reach that website you just click on the link marked "Register".  All of the sites listed on my website will let you instantly register and it's always free too.

Step 3:  Once you are registered you can check your email for a verification link to prove the email address you provided during registration is really yours.  If you don't see the email from the website within 5-10 minutes then you should check your junk folder to make sure it didn't get put in there by accident.  If you find it in your junk folder, you should make sure you add the domain of the website to your "safe senders" list so it doesn't happen again and you won't miss any important emails from them. But some websites doesn't need email verification , so you can immediately log in after you register.

Step 4:  After you have properly verified your email address, you are now ready to go back to the PTC website you just registered on and login.  After you login, you can start viewing ads and getting paid.   Each PTC website has their own procedures for getting paid, but most of them will pay you instantly as soon as you reach the payout limit.  You should read about receiving payments from each website.

Step 5:  If you look on the top menu bar for the website there will be a link somewhere that says "View Ads" or "Surf Ads" or something like that.  Just click on there and you will see a list of advertisements you will get paid to view.  Please make sure you wait to view the entire ad for the required length of time and watch closely at the top to see how you verify the advertisement too.  Each website has a little different process so you just have to look at it carefully and follow the prompts at the top of the page.  For most websites, you just have to click on the same letter that is shown at the top to verify you are a human.  After you have finished viewing the first advertisement and verified it properly then you can view the next advertisement following the same process as the 1st.  Do that until you have viewed them all.  After you have finished all of the available ads for today on that website you can go back to the "Home" page and take a look at your "Account".  You should see that you have already earned between 2 and 5 cents depending on which site you joined.

You can repeat the same process to register free on all the websites I have listed on the left column.  It might take you 30 minutes to register for all the websites listed at first, but after you are registered then, in the future, you just need to login, click your ads, checks your account balance and take a break until tomorrow.

Remember, you can only click your ads once a day to get paid.   If you view them more than once before they are refreshed by the websites server, the views won't be counted.


In the next post, I will explain the value of having lots of referrals.  After all, that's really where the BIG MONEY is.  Until then......See you later.

How I got started in PTC

About 3 years ago, I was just sitting around the house and spending a lot of time surfing the Internet.  One day, I just happened across a PTC site and decided to register just to see what it was all about.  I started clicking everyday and studying about it because I was amazed when I saw some peoples "proof of payments" posted in the forums.  I mean, "how can they earn so much just by clicking a few links everyday and get paid hundreds and even thousands of dollars every month?"

Don't get me wrong.  PTC can be hard work because you have to spend time to monitor and check on your referrals, but now, I can gladly say that I am really starting to make money at this.  I am earning more, sitting at home than I did with my full time computer engineering job.

For me, that's an accomplishment.  And....everyday, I am happy to say, my network continues to grow as well as my income.
