Introduction to PTC Sites - How to Earn Basics

If you're not yet familiar with Paid-to-Click (PTC) programs, then, let me provide you some information that you'll need to start earning from PTC sites.

Just by the term itself, you earn from PTC sites by clicking on ads and viewing advertiser websites for a couple of seconds. It's a pretty simple task, right?

Well, you don't get paid that much either. Most of the ads you'll view are worth $0.01 or less.

Alright, don't get discouraged just yet. Read on before deciding to leave my blog. *wink*

Considering the short time that you'll spend clicking for different PTC sites, it's actually worth it. Trust me, it is. I've been a PTC member since last year and it was all worth it.

Earning from PTC sites doesn't require extensive time or effort. You can do it during your break at work, or when you get home from school or office. I do my clicking for approximately 10-20 minutes daily because of the numerous sites I've joined. But, it's all up to you if you want to join all my recommended PTC Sites. If you prefer to click for just a few of them, that's okay. At least that way, you can ensure that you won't miss any clicks.

There are also numerous ways you can earn from PTC sites. Most PTC sites I featured on this blog offer other means of earning. They have Paid-to-Read (PTR) emails, affiliate or referral programs, and more. You can get more info on how you can earn from each PTC site on my PTC Site Reviews.

It's very easy to join any PTC site. They just have a couple of requirements and you're off to go!

Basic Requirements when joining PTC Sites


1. Valid email address. It can be from web-based email providers such as Yahoo! or Gmail. I suggest you sign up with Gmail as emails get to them faster, from my experience.

2. Alertpay or Paypal account. I suggest you sign up with Paypal first. You need a valid email address to sign up with these 2 payment processors.

Take note that some PTC sites require a VERIFIED Paypal/Alertpay account to join. Make sure you read the TOS. Most of them, though, only require a verified account when purchasing from them.

3. Fill up the membership form with ACCURATE information ONLY, especially when dealing with PTC sites that do not pay instantly. Make sure your name, birthday (if they ask for it) and everything else is accurate and correct.

That's simple, right? Now, before you go joining PTC sites, there are things you need to remember to prevent any problems with your account (other people hacking your account, getting suspended, etc.). Make sure you read the PTC site's Terms of Use (TOS) as the policies below are just general rules and reminders. Some PTC sites might have different policies.

General PTC Sites' Rules/Policies to Note

1. To prevent other people from hacking your account, make sure that the email address that
you use when joining PTC sites is secure. And also your email address for your Alertpay and
Paypal accounts.

I suggest using a different email address when joining then simply enter your Alertpay or Paypal address in the membership form or when you're about to withdraw your earnings.

2. DO NOT use the same password for your PTC sites. I don't think I need to explain this any further but I will. Most important reason is to prevent other people from easily hacking into your account. One example is when you joined a PTC site and their site was actually a scam site, then, they can simply login your other PTC site accounts to get your balance.

This is why I like Neobux because of it's Secondary Password feature.

3. DO NOT create multiple accounts. Only cheaters do that. Some PTC sites are okay with
multiple accounts in 1 household but all of those accounts will only share the number of ads
available daily. Again, read the TOS.

4. DO NOT click and open 2 or more ADS at one time. Why? First, because their system would
think you're a cheater or a bot. Second, you won't get any credits if you click and open more
than 1 ad for 1 PTC site. You can open all your PTC sites all at one time but only 1 ad per
PTC site should be opened.

5. READ the anti-cheater instruction before you get credited. This is usually located at the top
of the page. Read it carefully because some of them are very tricky. Most of the instructions
will ask you to click on something to make sure that you're not a bot or an auto-clicker.

Below is an example:

You won't be credited if you clicked on the wrong number.

6. READ the anti-cheater questions. They're very strict with this so make sure you answer
correctly or else your account would be automatically banned or suspended for cheating or
botting.

7. READ the ADS before you click on them. Why? Because there are a few PTC sites who check if
their members are actually reading the ads. They put links with titles like "If you click on this,
your account will be reset to ZERO."

8. You can only request 1 payment at a time. This is a very important reminder to those who are
planning on getting a lot of referrals or upgrading. Make sure you read the TOS.

9. Post your payment proofs at their forums. A lot of PTC sites require this before you can
request or receive your next payment.

For me, it's a very simple requirement. It helps the PTC site gain more members as they'll be seen as a trusted PTC site.
