Basic Ptc Info

What is a PTC Website?

PTC stands for 'Paid To Click' and is a term used to classify websites that pay you to view online advertisements

Registration

Registering at PTC websites is 100% free. All you need is an email address, and an e-commerce account - which is also free. (see 'Payment Processors' below).

Earnings

Values for each advertisement you view widely range, from hundreds of a cent ($0.0001) to a couple of cents ($0.05 - in rare occasions) each, and depend on the PTC you register at.

The most common ad values range from a tenth of a cent ($0.001) to half a cent ($0.005) per ad.

Although low, your earnings can increase drastically by inviting people to register at the same PTC you are registered. Once someone joins a PTC under your invitation, you will also start earning a commission based on their own earnings - aka 'affiliate marketing'. (see 'How to get referrals' in the next section)

Another way to increase earnings includes upgrading your free membership. Payed memberships boost ads views and referral comissions.

Another way of earning more is joining multiple PTC websites.

How?

PTC websites earn money by selling visits to an ad, to advertisers. An advertiser that wants to advertise a service or a product pays the PTC to show his ad to us registered users. The PTC then pays us users to view the advertiser's ad. A small percentage is retained by the PTC to pay for maintenace (domain name, traffic, and other techincal requirements) and profit.

Paying people to view ads is a win win situation as advertisers get alot of people looking at their products in a short amount of time, and we users can make money just by looking at ads

How to?

After registering at a PTC, navigate to the advertisement section and click on a link (ad). You are then taken to a new web page containing the advertisement and a small timer. Viewing the advertisement until the timer runs out earns you the value of that ad.

Only after earning a minimum amount of money can you request a payment (see 'Payment Requests' below)

Payment Request

To be able to receive a payment from a PTC you must have an account at an e-commerce website (see 'Payment Processors' below). Each PTC uses it's e-commerce website of choice, so you have to register at whatever e-commerce website the PTC works with to get paid.

The minimum amount of cash earned before requesting a payment range between just a couple of cents to a few dollars, depending on the PTC.

After requesting a payment, your earnings will be transfered to your e-commerce account after a certain amount of time. Depending on the PTC, payment are:

a) Instant - your payment arrives a few seconds after you requested it;
b) Delayed - your payment arrives within the time frame that the PTC has stated in it's Terms Of Service ("TOS" link on each PTC website).

From your e-commerce account you can either transfer your funds to your regular bank account (limits are imposed to certain countries, so read the e-commerce website TOS and see if you country is available to receive payments, before your start earning money), or you can use your money for online shopping.

Payment Processors

Payment Processors are virtual online banks. They allow you to have an online bank account, from where you can send and receive money, pay for multiple services and shop online.
