Are Pay To Click Services Really Worth Your Time

By Pinky Arnisola


These days, lots of folks who are interested to get an online business going are beginning with PTCs -- Pay to Click websites. I, myself, started out in that manner. I will explain what a Pay-to-Click website is for folks who don't already know. A PTC site pays you some money for just watching a short advert, ordinarily lasting around half a minute or so. Every time you see a whole advert (they ordinarily last more or less 30 seconds), a small amount of money is placed into your account, which can only be taken out once you've collected a specified amount of money, usually in the $5 range. Also, almost all of these websites have a little more to them, like special options provided only to members, and referral rewards.

Whether you gather your referrals yourself or buy them, when those referrals view advertisements, you receive more or less half of the money they generate. Simply Put, if you are getting one penny for clicking an advert, you'll as well get half a cent when each of your referrals does the same. It doesn't sound like a lot of money but it can amount to something if you get thousands of referrals. Usually you'll be offered additional options that let you and your down line to watch additional adverts, earn more money per click and get more referrals. An enhanced membership ordinarily comes in at a high cost but in the long run, you will earn more cash with it.

To demonstrate how this works, let's say you join a PTC program that displays up to f adverts. You then find 1,000 people to sign up under you as referrals. You make a cent for each click, as do your referrals. So if you watch all 4 ads and all of your referrals watch all 4 adverts, that's a sum of 40 dollars. You would say that no, that doesn't look too bad. That would be a nice sum of money to make each day, doesn't it?

Well, the sad truth is, nearly all PTC web sites are scams. Think "pyramid schemes", for that is what actually all of them are. A pyramid scheme is where folks invest cash looking for more money in return after some time, but the guy in charge merely pays out more cash to a few of the members and the other people are left with nothing, or very little. Consider this: If 10 different people invest ten bucks, that sums up to $100. The one who runs the scheme may return $15 to just four people and keep the rest for himself, with nothing disbursed to all the rest of the members. How they are able to get off with this is by enticing us to become members and to obtain referrals (which, incidentally, are typically bots, not real people), then paying us money that others invest to pay for their own membership and subsequent referrals. The money received by viewing adverts in no way covers their outlays, especially when some of the supposed "referrals" are nothing but bots. Eventually, people are going to stop investing in the Pay-to-Click program and the last individuals to invest lose out. If you are among the ones close to the top, in from the beginning, there's a chance of seeing a bit of money, but it is not worth the risks.

I advise you do not get involved with Pay-to-Click programs. The only way you will be able to generate even a good sum of money is to be the head scammer or one of his buddies. Everybody else who join loses. I don't like the odds . . . or the karma.
