PTC programs are so simple, that even a child could easily do them. Basically, you are being paid for viewing ads for a specified amount of time. When you click on the ad, a timer will start to countdown. When it says that you are credited for the ad, you simply close it out. You are paid anywhere from $0.003 to $0.01 per ad viewed. (Any program that says they will pay you $1.00 or more per ad is ... well, NOT to be trusted ... they are out and out scams!) $0.01 to $0.02 is really pushing it for a PTC program.
There are some things that you should know about PTC programs before you get involved with them. There are a host of PTC sites out there that are NOT reputable. Many of them come and go overnight, or they are sold as soon as the owner builds up a good membership, or they will delete your account when you reach cashout. I would strongly advise that you take these precautions when signing up to a PTC site:
- NEVER invest before you are paid and are sure they are legit. I feel that a site should be operational and paying for at least 6 months to a year before you invest or upgrade.
- Most good PTC sites will have a forum where the admin. is active.
- Use a different Username & Password for EACH PTC site.
- Use strong Passwords — if you have the option to use 2 Passwords, DO SO!
- Be cautious — don't post on a forum that you are almost ready to cashout!
- Do yourself a favour, and make certain that you have excellent antivirus and malware protection. This is very, very important!
- Always read a site's Help/FAQ and TOS (Terms of Service) pages — you are responsible to know their rules and to follow them. I have tried to list the important ones here, but I'm only human, and might have missed something that you need to know.
- Most, if not all programs will not allow you to open more than one account per person, and one account per household. If you are allowed to open more than one account per household, then the individuals must have seperate computers with seperate ISP addresses. Absolutely no proxies are allowed!
