Make Money Online

Paid to click is a phenomena which has gained great prominence over the last few years with the advent of online advertising.

The paid to click bandwagon works on a simple principle. Advertisers publish ads on sites of webmaster who pay users to sign up and click on these ads. The advertiser thinks he is getting legitimate traffic and pays the requisite fees to the site displaying the ads. The webmaster of the site takes a cut of the fees, and divides the rest between the members who sat and clicked the ads. The problem comes up when the webmaster gets greedy and disappears with the money.

In paid to click programs, you join a site, for example, bux.to (http://www.bux.to/) where you sign up. After you sign up, all you have to do is open ads for a few seconds and get paid a few cents for every ad you click on and keep open for a specific period of time. Though the amount you make per ad is not much, a pittance actually, but if you have time to spare, you can make 2-3 dollars daily which translates into a decent 90-120 dollars a month.

To earn more, you have incentives like a referral system. In a referral system, you refer the clicking program site to your friend. You henceforth get a cut from the amount paid to your friends from thereon. For example, for every 10 ads clicked by your friends, you get 5 cents. If you invite a lot of people, the chain of people who get invited, and then invite their friends etc can be quite long and you can actually make more off your referrals than the amount you click everyday.

That’s quite good in fact, if you’re just a high school student who has no better way to earn money.

For example,

Lets say you click 25 ads everyday = 25 cents everyday (at one cent per ad)
Lets say you referred 100 people = 100 x 5 (100 people click 10 ads)
Daily earnings for you = 525 cents
Monthly earnings = 525×30 cents
= 15750 cents = 157.50 dollars.

That is, of course, in an ideal situation. At the start you will obviously not have referred 100 people, and not all 100 will be clicking. This example just shows you the scope of what you CAN achieve.

Recently though, he Paid to Click (PTC) industry has attracted a lot of flack because of dubious webmasters and numerous PTC scams which have been run by people. Hard working people spend hours clicking ads only to find that the site has gone offline the next day, with the webmaster pocketing the revenue generated by the users.

Overall, PTC is a great way to make money online, and if you can keep up to date with the scam sites on the net these days, and avoid them, you should be pocketing a handsome amount every month by doing not more than an hour or two of work every day. Try it, and you’ll find it a great alternative to making your own site!
