Paid To Click is an online business model that draws online traffic from people aiming to earn money from home. Paid-To-Click, or simply PTC websites, act as middlemen between advertisers and consumers; the advertiser pays for displaying ads on the PTC website, and a part of this payment goes to the viewer when he views the advertisement. In addition, most PTC sites offer a commission to its members for signing up new members (similar to many affiliate marketing programs online), or they may pay members a percentage of the clicks that their referrals make as an ongoing commission. The viability of the PTC business model has been questioned, as fraudulent clicks have ramped up the expenses for advertisers. With lawsuits filed against the internet search companies, the burden has been placed on Google, Yahoo and others to determine valid clicks from fraudulent ones. This should not be confused with PPC where advertiser pays the site per click generated from any user . Even though advertisements are the most widely known method for PTC sites to stay alive, much of the profit can come from the direct sales of referrals or upgrade packages which are created by the owner of each PTC site. This has led to the proliferation of online scams or ponzi schemes being created with PTC sites as a cover, as members are encouraged to buy referrals that are not actually human or upgrade packages that offer no real value. As well, some sites may request that their users pay an "upgrade fee" before being able to cash out their earnings, and then not paying out earnings after these fees are paid. Scams, although exposed on various PTC forums, are still heavily used by newcomers who are drawn in to the websites by search engines. Scam PTC sites are known to attract new users with cheap offers for upgrades and referrals and disappear without trace after a short time.
How and where to start?
First you need to register your own free accounts on legit PTC sites. I have listed here many sites what you can use. I have using most of them already years. Here you can see on the right side menu. Now, just choose any of them and click on it to register. Just complete registration form as needed. Also before joining, it's good when you read before their terms of service (TOS). Remember; never ever register more than ONE account in one program! This isn't allowed and you will lose all your accounts and earned money. Only one account per IP is allowed!
It's better when you join all these programs what I have listed. Because, when you work with many programs, then you also can earn more money!
Most programs needed that you login every day and click at least 4 ads every day. If you don't do so, you can't earn money from your referrals tomorrow. Most of PTC's using that system, to make members more active. Actually it's good, because when all members are active, also your referrals are active. You make more money!
When you already have accounts and you click ads. Next thing you need to do, ask your friends to join. Give them your referral link, that way you can get referrals. They must put your username into referrer/sponsor field on the registration form. Referral link usually looks like this, http://www.ptcsitename/?r=yourusername. If your friends or anybody else click that link, your username will be automatically placed. Who is referral and why they are so important, you can read from the next chapter.
About referrals, and how to get?
Usually new members using renting system if available, to get referrals who (maybe) earn money for them? I have understood that this is not a good idea to rent referrals where you are free member. Most PTC's rent no real persons, we name them bots. Even when admin saying that they rent only real person, it's not correct! Remember this and don't forget that. Their rental system is built that way, their rented referrals make clicks that way, and they are always profitable for site. This mean when you rent them you are lucky when you get any profit at all and usually you must recycle and do other things to stay in profit. But you also needed to pay for rented referrals. That money admin can use to pay other members or use for pay other fees. Usually BUX sites using rental system to get money from users. Those programs are not as legit as they seems. Even NeoBux have rental system and I can't say that these rented referrals are profitable. However, NeoBux have all things balanced and you can make a lot of money there. Now I'm little bit out of topic.
Direct referrals are most profitable for you. These members are directly referred by you and they don't cost you a penny! Now you must see how much you can get from your direct referrals and how many you already have them. When upgrading option is available on this PTC what you using, then check how much you can earn from your referrals, if you have your account upgraded. You can earn two times more or even more when you are upgraded member. Also I recommend upgrading your account only, when you have maximum amount of direct referrals already or at least 100 if there is no referral limits.
There is a lot of methods how you can get direct referrals. You can use any free communication network online like Facebook, Twitter and so on. You can send direct e-mail to your friends and let them know about this PTC site what you are using. Just give them your referral URL what they can use for registration. Also describe little bit this program and why you think it's useful. Never spam anybody’s mailbox! You can find your referral URL from links and banners section usually, when you are logged on members area. Look around FAQ's and help section, there is usually described referring materials location exactly.

Promote your Referral URL via Manual Traffic Exchanges.
A traffic exchange website receives website submissions from webmasters that join traffic exchange networks. The person who submitted the website then has to browse other member sites on the exchange program to earn credits, which enable their sites to be viewed by other members through the surf system. This increases the number of visitors to all the sites involved. Exchanges enforce a certain credit ratio, which illustrates the amount of websites the surfer must view in order to receive one hit through the program for their promoted website. Many sites offer the ability to upgrade one's membership level for a more equal credit ratio. As the viewers are all website owners or affiliates, it is possible that some might find certain member sites interesting and thus make note of them on their own sites, sending more traffic their way. Most traffic programs also impose a time limit when members are browsing, ranging from 10 seconds to 60 seconds. Some incorporate the use of captcha to ensure user interaction. Almost all traffic exchange programs are free, although many of them offer special features to paid members and offer credits for purchase. Almost all traffic exchange programs encourage users to build their own referral networks, which in turn increases the referrers' amount of credits. The traffic generated in a traffic exchange can be leveraged by using a downline builder to assist the user in building a referral network in the many different traffic exchanges. In practice, traffic exchange programs are generally used by small business owners or marketers who either want free advertising or use the exchange programs for low-budget advertisement campaigns. Below is some traffic exchanges what I personally using to promote my own stuff.
EasyHits4U , HitBandit , NewWaySurf
Promote your Referral URL via other PTC website.
After using all the free options to advertise there are as well many paid ways to advertise. On above sites you can sometimes upgrade or buy credits for more advertising. The follow websites are special for paid advertising options. All options will be used by us as well and have great results. When we found new websites with great results we will post them up as well. Below is some PTC sites what I personally using to promote my own stuff.
Clixsense , Neobux , ProfitClicking
Clixsense and Neobux is one of the biggest PTC online which offer great advertising for low prices.
But I earn only cents?
Most of new joiners didn't understand how to use PTC's correctly. They think that they can earn only cents or fraction from cents. This is not exactly that way! Your earnings are directly related how active you are and how many direct or indirect referrals you have. Referral is key figure in this business. So, it's better to use programs where direct referrals are not limited, I mean where you can refer as many people as you can. Your earning can be unlimited! I know people who earn thousands every month using only PTC programs. I make personally around $300-$500 monthly right now. What is pretty good additional income at least for me. You can earn same or more!
Also very important is that you are active and don't give up so easily. Building strong team can take a time and a lot of time. But when you have strong team already build then you can earn $10-$50 every day only with one program! So, don't give up when you see after month or so that you earn only $1 per day or per week, it’s good when you earn $1 per day! Remember, depends on how big is your team, you can earn much much more.
How to avoid getting scammed.
You are maybe noticed, that every day a lot of new PTC sites coming online like mushrooms after rain. What is bad about that? About 90% of new PTC sites are not legitimate. There are a lot of fraudsters who use PTC sites to make money for themselves. You can recognize them!
First thing what you may notice, that site Admin trying to put members to buy memberships and referrals, when site is not yet fully launched or even when it's launched. This means that Admin just trying to collect some money to pay members after site is fully launched. This action called Ponzi scheme where admin using new investors money to pay old investors. Remember, legit PTC don't need that members buy memberships or rent referrals. Advertisers pay for them and members!
When you see that on ads page where you can click ads and earn money. If there is no new ads a long time and if there is only affiliate programs and referrer is admin. This mean that there is no real advertisers and all ads are self sponsored. In this case there is no real income for the site and admin must pay to you and for all other members in her own pocket. What most likely cause that site goes unstable very soon and probably closed.
When site have longer time problems with paying to their members. Most of these cases, this happen when one of their used payment processors account get limited (usually PayPal). This cause that members who do not read site forum and news take down site reputation and usually it cause site closing due there is no investors who buy services from this site. This may probably causing bankruptcy after 1-2 months. I have seen that a lot of times. PTC site can survive only in case when admin have a lot of reserved money what he can use for paying to his members all time. When you see that there is no new payment proofs about 2 weeks, just stop clicking on this site until admin starts paying again.
When admin changing site terms of service too frequently. Or stop paying to standard members (paying only for upgraded members if paying at all). Stop using this site until it paying for all members!
When admin sharing false information about his site or business. Example: when he saying that his company is registered, but it’s not. Stop using this site!
In case when standard (free) member can earn over $0.012 per ad click. And advertising packages are very cheap. This means that admin must pay more than site earns. In this case there is no profit and business can't exist without profit.
All PTC sites what is hosted by companies like “BuxHost”. Better don't use them, because fraudsters like to use them at most. Everyone can rent such site for a very cheap rental price, even people who don't know anything about PTC business. These BUX sites failing rate is highest.
Very important! Always read site TOS (Terms of Service) and User Agreement before joining. You can discover something what you maybe don't want to agree. And there is everything described exactly, how to use program and what your rights is.
Really it is important!
Most important things you need to know!
To get referrals is most important! Referral is like key person who earn money for you!
When you have joined any of these programs, you must be purposeful. This mean, first weeks and months you probably don't earn much. Because when you start, you don't have yet any referrals, which make money for you. So, start referring people as soon as you can. Advertise your referral link everywhere but to not spam. I have personally using and building my team over 3 years now. It's fun and makes me about $500 additionally every month. I think it is good additional income for persons who can't work other way or for disabled people. Also it's good for young moms.
You need to register your personal AlertPay and PayPal account. Both are free online payment processors and PTC websites using them to pay money to their members and also receive payments from advertisers. If you don't have your accounts yet then you can register you accounts by clicking banners below:
Avoid new bux sites, new sites are not reliable and most likely you just wasting your energy and time by using them. I have a lot of negative experiences by using new sites. They pay in start but probably not after month or two.
After your first cash out your earnings collect about $10 or more when it's needed. Because there is transaction fees and you save money when you transfer more at once. But do not wait too long. About $10-$20 is most optimal amount to cash out.
Before joining, always read terms of service and FAQ's section to know everything about the program.
