Concept of PTC (Paid to Click)
The concept of PTC (Paid-to-click) came out to provide cheap online advertising to advertisers and an earning opportunity to general users.
Advertisers pay money to get their Ads (with affiliate links or referral links) to be displayed on PTC sites. On the other hand, general users click ads and earn money by viewing ads.
Earning generally ranges from $0.001 to $0.02 per click depending upon the type of Ad clicked and the type of membership possessed.
Note: The user is required to view the Ad for a predetermined period after clicking it to successfully get credited for that.
Methods to Earn from PTC (Paid to Click) Sites
There are mainly two methods to earn money from the PTC sites. These two methods are as follows:
- Earn by viewing Ads
- Earn by Referrals
Apart from these two methods, some PTC sites also provide some extra methods to earn.
(For example:- Earn by completing some given tasks or jobs, taking surveys, etc.)
Referrals
Referrals are the members who joined PTC sites through other members.
[For example:- Suppose you joined a PTC site and then referred your friend to that site. And, he joined through your referral link. That person (your friend) will become your referral.]
The advantage of making referrals is that the Referrer gets some predetermined commission for each unit of earnings made by his Referrals.
The more Ads your referrals view, the more will be your earnings from referrals, apart from the earnings from your own clicks.
The earnings of your referrals will not be affected because of the commission earned by you. In other words, your referrals will also get their full earnings.
You may also get some predetermined commissions for each of the purchases (like membership up-gradation etc.) made by your referral on the concerned PTC site.
-Types of Referral
Some PTC sites (not all) introduce two types of referrals, as given below:
- Direct Referral (DR)
- Rented Referral (RR)
Direct referrals are the general referrals as mentioned above in detail. They are directly made by using a referral link.
If someone joins any PTC site through your referral link, he will become your ‘Direct Referral’ (simply called ‘Referral’ by the sites that don’t introduce ‘Rented Referrals’).
On the other hand, Rented Referrals (RR) are the referrals that are purchased or hired on rent from the concerned PTC site which offers this kind of referral also.
These are the members who joined the site without any ‘Direct Referral’. Such Un-referred members are made available for rent.
These are rented for a fixed period after which they need to be renewed, otherwise, they will expire. A predetermined rent or fee is paid for such referral for a given period.
The Rented Referral system is also a good method to earn extra money from PTC sites because you will get paid a predetermined commission for the earnings made by the ‘Rented Referral’, just like ‘Direct Referral’.
Apart from this, some limited PTC sites also offer the service to purchase Un-referred members as referrals for the lifetime for a predetermined fee or cost.
