Paid-to-Click 101: Things to know before joining PTC Sites

What are PTC?
Paid-to-Click (PTC) are websites which can be an online source of income since it allows you to earn when you click on their ads.

What is a PTC's basic process?
The basic process is advertisers pay the PTC websites to show their ads to people while PTC websites pay people to view the ads.

How much can I earn from PTC?
Earnings is within the range of $0.0001 - $0.02 per click depending on which PTC you join in. More often than not there is a minimum cash out price to achieve before you can get your earnings. Check out my other post of best paying PTC site for an idea. It indicates the rate per click on each PTC and minimum cash out price.

How can I earn from PTC?
If you click daily then you will earn. But the best way to earn quickly from a PTC site is to build your downline. Refer as many people as you can under your username since you will be able to earn a percentage of the clicks they do.

How will I get my earnings?
You need to have an account in a payment processor. Top payment processor you'll need will be Alertpay and Paypal. Click on the banners below to go directly to them.


Sign up for PayPal and start accepting credit card payments instantly.


May I postpone opening a payment processor account?
Yes you may. It is not immediately needed. You can opt to open your payment processor account only at the time when you are ready to cash-out your earnings. Just remember the payment processor email you gave the PTC when you registered.

Do I have to pay anything to PTC?
You don't have to pay to join! However you can opt to pay if you like the benefits they offer in return. PTC sites have standards members and premium members. Standards members are free. Premium members require a fee but it is due to the advantage they get. The difference mainly is with regard to number of ads available. Premium members have more ads to click and sometimes the rate on each click is even higher. Premium members also enjoy the benefit of higher earnings from their downline. In some PTC premium members enjoy free referrals and higher number of allowed downline. Personally my suggestion is not to pay!

What should I be careful of with regard to PTC?
Not all PTC are legitimate. A lot of them are scams. Scams PTC would entice their members to join and pay the premium member price but then will suddenly disappear or have sudden issues when it comes to paying their members. Always checkout the forums of a PTC since you can read from there if they are having problems paying their members. If they don't have a forum then that is hint they might be hiding something.

Any word of advice on PTC?
Never invest your money on PTC especially if they are new! In fact a good PTC this month may become a scam PTC the next month already! If you really want to invest allow yourself to earn the amount first from the PTC.
