First of all, you will need to open at least on of the following internet bank accounts, if you haven’t already done so. They a secure, and will not ask you for pin numbers or sell your information. They are also free to join. You need to sign up with them so you may receive your payments. Once you have received your payments, you may transfer it into you own bank account at any time.
I also recommend signing up to a Hotmail email account, as depending on the programs you choose to start with, you will be receiving a lot of “PTR” emails.
PTR or “Paid To Read” is just one type of program. The program site will send emails containing advertising links – usually from other members - and in return for clicking the link, and letting the page timer expire, you will be credited with a cash or points amount. When this amount reaches the minimum payout level, you will get paid the money into your internet bank account.
You can also reach your payout level quicker by logging into the site and clicking on various banners, links, etc – each with their own set value. This is called “Paid To Click.”
Almost all PTR and PTC sites are free to join, with the option of buying an upgraded membership. While an upgraded membership isn’t necessary to receive a payout, in some cases, it allows you to request a payout at a lower cash level.
Another type of program is “Paid To Surf”, or “PTS”. Paid to surf programs are the easiest way to make money on the internet. All you need to do is sign up, and click the “Surf Now”, or “View For Credits” link (as to what it is called varies from program to program). From there, the site will automatically show numerous websites until you have reached the “daily pay” bracket. This too varies from site to site as to how many pages you have to view. After you have reached that bracket, it is up to you if you wish to keep viewing sites to earn “Credits”.
Credits are earned by viewing WebPages as well as cash. The credits you earn may be used so you can advertise your own websites to other people who use that particular PTS program.
How much you can earn with PTS sites is up to you. When you join a site, they will often give you one “Free Up-Grade Unit”, or offer you “Free Cash” to join up. These are actually the same thing and what you need to earn money.
For each day you use the PTS program, you will earn a percentage of you upgrade unit. For example, 4 Daily gives you one $4 upgrade, that lasts for 50 days, to get you started. For each of those days you use the “Auto Surf” feature, you will earn 4% of your up grade. Here’s the maths:
4% of $4.00 = $0.16 X 50 Days, = $8
While it may not sound like much, you are able to buy further upgrade units at any time, allowing you to earn hundreds of dollars per day.
Payouts for these sites are usually done once a month via a mass payout. To qualify for payment, you usually have to meet a minimum amount and to have earned at least half of your upgrade units. For example, if you had upgrades in one program worth $40 dollars and the minimum payout was $10, you would still have had to earn at least $20 to receive payment.
There are literally hundreds of ways to make money on the internet. Some, like My Free Shares will pay you a commission of their advertising revenue based on the amount of “Free Shares” you earn instead of direct cash. The advantage of this is you can actually accumulate money in your site account without ever reading an email or clicking on a link.
Others include a forced matrix. While most of them involve an initial payment, Free Hits Forever is free to join. The idea is that you get three people to sign up in the program under your “Referral” link, and those three people to the same, then each of those people get three to sign up, etc. For each person who joins, you earn money from your “Downline”.
“Referrals” are people who join your “Downline.” For almost every program on the internet where you can make money, you get a special referral link that is unique to your account. By advertising this link, you can get other people to join that particular program. From there, you can earn a percentage of what ever they earn.
One program that mainly relies of referring people, are “Cash Randomizers”. After joining a cash randomizer, you are then eligible to earn random cash payments – just as the program type suggests. How they work is when you join, you first pay a fee to the person who referred you. You then make a payment to member who is picked out of the system, completely at random. A final payment is then made to the administrator of the site, not only giving you your own referral link, but inmost cases, giving you unlimited access to free E-Books and Downloads – most of which have full re-sale rights.
While paying money to join a cash randomizer seems to turn some people off, they are one way to generate a substantial income. Every time someone joins via your own personal link, you will get paid. Every time your Id is displayed randomly when someone joins, you get paid. So as you can see, it is very easy to get back the money you initially pay to join.
You can also join sites where you can earn “Free Products” and “Prizes”. Six Questions and Promo Squad for example, you earn points for the prize you choose.
Sweet Collect, you earn Lollies by completing free offers, visiting other websites, and by referring your friends. Electro Gift works on a similar principle, where you can earn the latest electrical gadgets by referring friends, and completing special offers.
Once you have joined several programs, it helps to compile a website of all your links, so you can promote your programs and so you can use it rather than searching through your “Favourites Folder” all the time.
I highly recommend Brave Net as they are free, and have Web Site Wizards that can help you create a home page, even if you have no idea of how to do it.
Also, is you are after more free traffic and advertising to you site, then join Free Banners. They are a free to join banner exchange site.
Just one more tip with making money on the internet – for those programs that either requires or you can choose to invest more money, only spend what you can afford. While most of these programs are reliable, there is every chance that one day something might happen. I myself, only use money I’ve already earnt on the internet to fund any other programs, and I find this works much better as I am able to cycle my money through each program, generating higher profits each month.
