PTCs (Paid-to-Click)

How to make money on these types of sites:

Ads: All PTCs are based on selling ad space and then paying viewers (aka, YOU!) to look at them (that's why they're called Paid-to-Click!). Ads can range anywhere from 3-60 seconds, and pay anywhere from a fraction of a cent to a couple cents.

Tasks: This is crowdsourcing work, where they pay you per page to sort pictures/write/judge accuracy/do whatever random job needs to be done in bulk but can't be automated.

Offers: Get paid to take surveys, sign up for email lists, and use products/services (it's often best to create an email address specifically for this as to not clutter up your mailbox). While new offers may not be as available as often as tasks or ads, a session of a couple hours has often earned people upwards of $50.
Referrals: Almost every site out there (including all the ones I've listed below) has a referral program that, when your friends/family/anyone you've gotten into the program makes money, you make a little extra as well! Win-win situation, how sweet is that?

To be the most successful, you will need to:
1) Stay Active: Many sites will require you do a certain number of ad-clicks per day in order to earn from your referrals. Also, as with any business, the more time you put into it, the better your results will be.

2)Use All Resources. Unless you are happy with the money from just clicking ads, check out what other opportunities the site has to offer (like the ones listed above). There are different ways to earn at each site such as surveys,completing tasks,completing sponsor offers,etc.

3)Promote. There are promotional materials on each site.Use these to advertise to get referrals and build your downline.The bigger your downline,the more you will make.This will be the key to really multiplying your earnings.
