Earn Residual Cash With Paid To Click Sites

by Jill Webb

It sounds too good to be true doesn't it? You register for free with a number of Paid to Click sites, log in every day, click on a handful of ad links, view each ad for 30 seconds or so, then you get paid.

The principle behind PTC sites is simple: A group of advertisers pay the site owners a fee to advertise and in return the site members are paid a nominal amount (usually between 0.01c and 0.005c) to view the advertisements.

It's unlikely that you'll ever get rich working the PTC sites, but you can soon earn serious residual income if you follow a few golden rules.

1 - Do your homework
Countless new PTC sites appear on an almost daily basis, but the sad fact is many of them will not survive beyond the first 3-6 months. New and inexperienced site owners often don't strike the right advertiser/ member balance, which ultimately leads to members being left high and dry and out of pocket when the site suddenly closes. Some sites are notoriously slow payers too. The good news is that there are many stable, well respected PTC sites out there. Taking the time to do several search engine searches before you register will pay dividends in the long run.

2 - Get Organized
If you're planning to join 10 or more sites, you might find it useful to draw up a spreadsheet or table before you start. List the names of all the programs you've joined, along with your user names, passwords, payment processor and minimum payment amount etc. You could keep a running total of how much you've earned with each site so you know when you can request a payment. It's also a good idea to bookmark all of the sites you surf regularly and group them in a folder for easy access.

3 - Use Tabbed Browsing
If you decide to sign up to 20 sites - and then go on to surf 10 ads at each of those sites one at a time... you're going to be sat clicking for hours! By using a browser which supports tabbed browsing you can comfortably surf 5 sites/sets of ads at a time. This is a massive time saver.

4 - Build Your Downline!
The really exciting part about PTC sites is that not only do they pay you for clicking on ads, but they also pay you for each ad anyone you refer to the program clicks. Most sites pay you between 50% and 100% of your referral earnings.

There are a number of excellent free to join programs that work hand in hand with the PTC sites, and that use software which enables you to promote several sites all under one umbrella. This means potentially more residual income for you.

So to conclude - even though you're unlikely to get rich through PTC sites, it is more than possible to earn serious residual income in exchange for around 8-10 hours of your time each week. And unlike many other online earning opportunities, PTC sites are 100% free.
