Paid To Click or Read Programs

If you have begun to read this, then chances are you have seen the ads for PTC Paid To Click sites all over the search engines or in the side bars or headers of certain web sites. Or you may have seen them listed as Paid to Read sites, which really means the same thing as the latter. Either way, you are clicking on a link, and going to a site. Then you are either viewing certain material or reading ad copy. That, my friend is called Paid to Click, except, if you clicked on the link without joining a program, then you didn't get paid for it. Don't worry about it though, it isn't like you lost out on your retirement. Paid to Click (from now on I will refer to these programs as PTC or PTR-Paid to Read-which are virtually the same for our purposes) programs are not designed to pay by the boatload, and for good reason. The revenue they bring in is from advertising, which in turn is invested in people to read the ads. It may seem like a vicious, and useless circle, but I assure you it most certainly is not. You see, all the folks reading the mail are people interested in the topic they are looking at, and some actually buy the products. Think about it, if no one were buying, how long do you think these sites would remain up? Truth be told, some of the poorly run ones do not remain up long. You must be careful when choosing which PTC/PTR program to join. That is where people like me come in.

NO, I am not some guru who is going to tell you that I have a down line of 3000 people and I make $12,000.00 a month, especially doing PTC. In fact, I probably make under $500.00 a month total in all my Internet ventures combined, and that includes Squidoo, which brings in the least amount of money (though that is more on me than Squidoo).
You are probably wondering why I am telling you this right? Well the answer is this...I have no reason to lie to you. I have "NOTHING" to sell you, The things I'm telling you may or may not lead you to join a PTC/PTR program under my name. If it does fine, but this is about information, getting the word out about programs that I think are worth the time and effort that is invested in them, because the returns are pretty good once the ball gets rolling and when you combine the effort of all your "programs" together. Yes I said "programs" as in plural.

Look, if you are going to do Paid to Click Programs, it pays, literally, to join multiple programs. Because no one program is going to pay you big bucks to read their mail. If they did they would go broke; makes sense right? When you stop to think of all the folks who have placed ads with them in the first place and what they were charged, you can't expect to earn too much per click because the amount of people that would join would soon wipe out all the revenue. In fact that is why many of these PTC are "Fly-by-Nights" and don't last. They are run by folks who have grand dreams and, hey thats great. But dreams must be accompanied by some common sense as well.

I have what has become a pretty short list now of reliable Paid to Click sites that I have been a member of for longer than six months. In one or two cases it has been over a year. The main thing I would stress here is the Payouts. There have been multiple payouts from 95% of these sites. I will tell you about all of them.

One last piece of advice. Be sure you read what the member benefits are before you commit yourself to these programs. Some of the higher dollar value program's payouts are in the stratosphere, and it will take you damn near forever to get there, but I'll explain in the Plexo.

Okay, so lets get right to it
