As of today August 2008, I am in the paid to click (PTC) business for approximately seven months. When I started with ptc I kept on clicking for two months, stopped for the next two months and then became active again. I’d focus on or find other online businesses and when motivated or will have no other things to do online I’ll be clicking again. I wanted to try all the money making opportunities on cyberspace before I’ll zero in on what works best for my time and effort. This experience is based on being a standard or free member.

Myth: Paid to Click (PTC) is Nothing but a Bunch of Scams

Fact

There are scams and there are legitimate sites in ptc. You just have to know which ones are not. It’s a trial and error thing. The more you penetrate the community, the more you’ll know which sites do really pay and which sites stay the longest. There are some sites that pay at the start and then will disappear just when clickers start to invest money by becoming premium members. NeoBux is the top legitimate site today with its $2.00 minimum payout that can be cashed out instantly; payment was sent to my Alertpay account in less than a minute. It is also the fastest growing number of members in the ptc community. In fact, it has changed the reputation of ptc. It called itself “Innovation in PTC.” Click here to see ptc scam lists.

Myth: PTC is a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme

Fact

PTC is NOT a get-rich quick scheme; earnings are in trickles from $0.0001 to $.02 cent per clicked or viewed site.

Myth: You Can Easily Get 100 Referrals by Inviting All Your Friends

Fact

You can invite all your friends and relatives in all your social networking sites and you’re one lucky person if a dozen will even become a referral much more keep on clicking daily. Not all your friends will be interested. 95% will even delete your message rather quickly without reading it. Isn’t that what we do when we receive the same thing from them? Only those who have been wanting to earn money online or at least open to the idea will give your message a thought. A few will try but will likely not last.

Myth: You Can Earn $100 USD Daily by Clicking 10 Ads in 10 Sites with the Help of 100 Referrals Who are Doing the Same Clicking

Fact

Sure, it’s possible to get 100 referrals (especially when you buy them). The thing is, not all referrals click daily. I myself don’t click 7 days a week. Maybe at the start, but it’s definitely impossible to keep on clicking for 10 ads in 10-20 sites every single day. My fingers would feel sore and my back would ache not to mention eye strain plus I have other things to do online.

I made sure I will not invest money when I join online businesses and ptc is no exemption so I didn’t buy referrals. What I did was advertise my links or website (Blogger.). A few times I advertised on some classifieds since I’m too lazy to post/advertise my website. After a month I got about one or two referrals in some sites. I got excited only to realize that they clicked only one to five ads or clicked all the ads on the day they joined and I’ve never heard from them again.

Myth: You’ll Earn a Monthly Income at Each PTC Site

Fact

Relying on your own clicks will only earn you $0.10 cents daily in most sites which translates to only $3.00 monthly granting you clicked 10 ads daily at $0.01 each. 98% of the proven legitimate sites today only pay out when you reach $10.00. It will take you three to four months to reach the amount. Even if you’ll join NeoBux with only a minimum payout of $2.00 the first time (it increases by a dollar in the succeeding payouts up to $10.00) it only gives 4-6 sites to click daily for free members(demographically). If you’re clicking on your own you will still not reach the amount in a month. You can reach it if you have one referral who will click daily but not anymore when the payout increases by a dollar. I’m not sure about when you’re in a different region though. Only 5-6 ads are available for me daily.

Myth: Joining Many Sites Will Maximize Your PTC Earnings

Fact

Initially, I registered to more than 30 sites but I slowly narrowed it down to 12. Joining as many sites will waste your time and effort. It’s not worth it. What if most are scams? It’s a very big risk that will only discourage you. Know the real sites that pay and stick with them.

Myth: PTC is the Easiest Way to Earn Online

Fact

If you can’t join the get paid to blog because of certain qualifications such as having your own paid website then ptc is the easiest way to earn online. But being a ptc aficionado means a whole lot of perseverance and patience. And I really mean a whole lot. It is one tedious job. Yes, it’s easy since all you have to do is click and view ads; anybody with basic computer knowledge can do it, you don’t have to do research and thought processing. You do need more than basic computer knowledge if you want to promote your links and banners using your own free website. For me, it’s a side job worth risking. I don’t think about monthly income, instead it’s about quarterly or annual with hopes that the sites stay that long and my referrals will increase and will keep on clicking.

Do the So-Called Legitimate/Trusted Sites Really Pay?

Do zebras have stripes? Of course they pay. Absolutely! I have been paid by a few sites so I can honestly say that they pay. The question should be more like which sites do pay?
