PTC - rules of thumb for vettign out scams

Tweet

Hello, today I will be discussing my own experience with Pay to Click (PTC) and Pay to Read (PTR) programs. For starters, I have been trying these programs for about 1 month and the ones I will mention are the ones that I regard as being the cream of the crop. It is important to note that when trying to make money online, a lot of programs seem to good to be true. This is mainly because they are!!! The majority of them are scams and this article will disclose some techniques that will aid you in screening these scam sites out of routine. Now, I have joined the selected sites only after applying three rules to it. First, what does this site advertise? For example, I am wary of sites that advertise offers like " get paid $10 for every e-mail that we send you", or "get paid $5 for every ad-read". The reason that i stay away from these sites is that, apart from it being too good to be true, it is also a un-sustainable business model and really not worth devoting time and energy to develop. Second, I google every program that passes the first test. I do this mainly to find reviews of the site to find out whether or not the program is scam or has a poor history of payment for members, ect. It is important to note that you have to inspect the validity of the review source because , a fair amount of the time , the reviews come from biased sources ( i.e., someone trying to flog their own program or affiliate link) and as a result the review can't be counted on a being a true representation of the programs worth. My third and final test for programs is a optional one. It is ; does it offer paypal or alertpay as payment options for members. In my case I use this criteria mainly for security and vendor reliability as opposed to convenience but as I said, it is a purely optional choice. Now, for the programs that I endorse; 1) BuxP - Quality Traffic, Incentive, Design and Web Hosting http://buxp.info/?r=randomtask010 ( feel free not to use my referral link by the way) BuxP is a all in one site. At the moment, it offers me over 60 ads (these are the pay to click variety) and offers. The site, as far as I can tell, makes it's money by combining many businesses into one. This is a good strategy as it offers it's users decent deals on other products ( like web-hosting, Search engine optimization ect.) that users would otherwise go off-site for. It pay's around $0.002 per click and it's trial offers vary from $0.25 to $7.50. I also like the free referrals scheme that the site employs. Basically the premise is that they have three offers and you complete them and you go into the running to win free referrals. This is good on two fronts, firstly because it gives the user another reason to continue to use the site and secondly, they announce the winner of the free referral daily on their twitter. This gives the user a sense of security as they see that the site is active and has people operating it. So far, I have earned $1.59 from it and I still have over 38 PTC ads to surf. 2) Valuebux - View, Click and Earn money http://www.valuebux.com/?ref=randomtask010 Valuebux is another of the paid to click programs that emulates the well known and very reputable Neobux. It has a professional and clean design and it is normally speedy in loading times. It offers instant cash out to members through paypal and alertpay once they reach the $5.00 threshold. The reason that I use this site is because it uses a tried and tested formula and as such provides a solid ptc experience. It must be noted that to make any serious money out of this site, you must utilize the renting referrals option. (google " how to make money with neobux" to find out the best way to do this) 3) Cash Crate - Get paid to complete offers at Cash Crate.com http://cashcrate.com/1412514 CashCrate is a site that basically offers it's members incentives to sign up to a number of offers and upon verification of the offers completion, payment will be added to your CashCrate balance within hours. The minimum paypal or alertpay cashout is $20 and is payed on the 20th of every month. It is important to note that this site will often have offers that require mobile subscription. I would strongly recommend that you steer clear of these offers. These are just a few of the programs that I use and I know work, good luck with them and remember, making money online isn't easy, it takes time and patience but you'll eventually get there if you stick at it. Good luck!!
