This is story about Internet advertising. Visits to web sites are advertised.
PTR programs are simple web sites, powered mainly with the same or very similar kind of engines for tracking visits and maintaining members data. The most common is Cash Crusader. On its official page you can find list of programs using this script.
Members may earn by receiving paid-emails and visiting the advertiser web sites after they have entered their member ID in the area on the web site provided by PTR program. Members may earn by referring new members to the PTR program. Members will earn a percentage of advertising revenues collected by PTR program. Members will be paid via PayPal, MoneyBookers, StormPay, e-gold, Int-Gold or in rare cases you will get a check. All this money transfer accounts are free to join and you will have not problems opening them. Only Pay pal has restriction on countries it accepts, so you must check is it available for you. PTR will pay members when their balance reaches the minimum payout rate set by PTR. Once the member s have reached payout they may request payment. Payments will be made within 30 days or a reasonable time after (usually it takes much longer). But also important thing is that you can redeem your earnings earlier for buying advertising. This advertising you can use to build your down line or to promote your web-site. Also in many existing programs you earn not only cash but points also, points that can be used for advertising or converting to cash, depending on TOS (terms of service) of particular program.
How much you can earn from reading mails? I will say it very clear. You can not become rich doing this how ever hard you try. Also, you could also easily lose much time and effort gaining nothing or just a bits. If you don't understand the principles and get involved in this business and take it in easygoing manner your income from this industry will come short to cover ISP and other costs incurred. But with little understanding, preparation and organization things can change drastically. Key aspect of all PTRs is a multi-level marketing that lays in the shear substance of it. If you want to succeed you must consider this aspect as a crucial one.
All you need to start is a computer, Internet connection and e-mail account. Then you sign-up with one of PTR programs and start earning immediately. Amount of mails that you will receive daily varies with PTR programs substantially (10 in average). So, in any case it is highly recommended that you open different mail account for PTR programs not to use existing one. Especially if you choose to join more than one.
Then you must decide how hard you want to play. Because this decision is crucial when choosing which program(s) to join. And this is very difficult question, because you must choose several out from thousands.
If you want just to try this, looking for fun, information about the news in this area, not involving in time consuming research and advertising needed for referrals hunt, then you want to be a hobby clicker.
If you want to try everything possible to gain the most out of it, and readily accepts necessities of time consuming research and expensive but not always successful advertising campaigns then you are or you will be a serious clicker.
Congratulations. Your choice is probably the best one for a beginner. Off course, if you happen to like this (not to say become obsessed with it) you can switch to a serious clicker any time you want. Your choice of programs to join is very easy.
Just join any trustworthy program you find on the internet and try it for fun and keep digging cents every day and if you really think it is fun and don't quit after a month and forget about it then you want to be serious clicker.
Wow. You made a decision that will take a lot of your free time. Consider this one more time, and then return here to follow the basic instructions listed below.
Ok, let us start.
First, as a rule of thumb, do not ever join the program that has more than 2000 members and sends a links valued below 0.5c and has payout as low as $10 or more. This program is not for you, you will gain nothing here. All your clicking only helps your up line in getting their rewards.
But you must join many programs in order to earn enough cash to be able to advertise (although you can use your own cash for advertising but this hardly pays out). And you choose very carefully because when you work with many programs you could loose insight of what you are really doing. Sign-up for a fast earners, two above are probably very good choice. You will not wait redemption, you will redeem much earlier for advertising the programs that will make you real money.
Then, try to find programs in early start that you think that they are promising and that they will last. And than advertise, and do it hard and persistently. If you choose right other clickers will see it and they will not hesitate to join and to be active in this program. If you choose wrong, you will see after a while. Your campaign will fail and you loose your hard earned money with no refund. So think carefully.
How to advertise? You have several choices. All of them work sometimes, and there is not a hard established merit to say which is the best. I will just share my experience with you. If you paid other members to sign-up for your programs as your referrals than the result are not so good. Remember, in order to gain profit out of your referrals they have to be active, clicking on the links or perhaps looking for referrals of their own. But when you pay them, they stay at this program only as long not to upset you but they are usually very inactive because they did not like the program at first place. Joined only for reward you gave them. So this is probably not good advertising.
Best advertising is when you lead people through your referral link to see the site by themselves, and then to decide to join. Then you will get a true referrals that are eager to take the most of this site as you are. These forms of advertising are banner impressions and Point-to-Click (PTC) available at almost every site you can redeem in.
And now the crucial question. What programs should I join. There is no explicit answer to that. Because, many of these programs that are now doing well could easily go down in several months. All the programs that are not doing well today could improve dramatically because of the change of the ownership or strategy. As a rule of a thumb again, never quit a program that just stopped sending mail, especially when you have a big downline on it. You just sit calm and wait.
Now you start joining programs, start reading mails and clicking the links, and do this for a month or two and the return here to see why PTR-Buster is so great
