Truth about PTC

Truth and Myth of PTC Sites

noreply@blogger.com (Ahlad) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:12:00 +0000

On 2^nd June 2009 I stumbled into the world of PTC (Paid to Click) World. I signed up to some sites to see how this works. From one site to other, as I joined I come to know about innumerable sites. Well, I was a bit doubtful yet wanted to try it out. I joined around 20 sites but now I use only 4 sites! Along the way I come to know a lot about the PTC world. And I would like to share it with you all as I want to give some genuine information to those newbies who stumble upon PTC world or any other online earning program.

How a PTC works?

A PTC site works as a medium through which Advertisers and potential customers can meet each other. It helps advertisers to reach customers and gives customers an opportunity to access the advertisement and earn some money too!

The Problem

The problem lies in the prices charged for Advertisers and prices paid to the Clickers. Advertisers won’t be ready to pay more and clickers won’t be ready to accept less! As the number of members increases sites start having problems. A site being down due to bandwidth problem or server problem is also a recurring and common problem with PTC sites.

Referral Program

Sites offer referral earnings to the existing members to increase their member base and activity. But as the member base increases the sites get into problem as they must attract advertisers otherwise they won’t be able to pay properly. If the sites don’t have a good profit margin they can’t pay referral earnings to all the members.

Premium Membership

Most of the sites earn by offering Premium Membership to their members. It is one of the major sources of income for the PTC sites.

The risk of losing Money and wasting Time

The risk is that it can go bankrupt anytime! The site might get into serious financial problems and close down suddenly or sell the site to somebody if they get a good offer etc.

So you have the risk of losing Money if you upgrade to Premium Membership. If you don’t upgrade then also you have the risk of wasting your invaluable time.

Lack of Professionalism of Site owners and Management

Most owners of the PTC sites are in the business only for money making and no serious goal. And most of them are not so mature in ‘Financial Management’ so it is quite easy to understand that they are not good at using the funds effectively.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the major problem with PTC sites. They do fine in the beginning and then get into deeper problems. That is also one of the reasons for some sites turning into scams.

Scams

It is observed that 95% or more PTC sites are scams! Very scary statistics for a new user as it is very difficult to choose a genuine PTC site. But one can save from being a victim of scams by following some simple points.

I would like to suggest a few points to avoid being a victim of scams though they are no guarantee:

1. Avoid spending money on any PTC site unless you are very sure of that site

2. Avoid spending a lot of time on PTC sites

3. Do the research properly before joining any PTC site

4. Join forums and discussion sites to see what the existing members are saying about a particular site

5. Check out the site you have joined by visiting the site’s forum and the functioning of the forum. Many PTC forums are controlled by administrators and if somebody makes a negative remark they don’t publish it. Be wary of such forums.

6. Never ever get excited by any enticing opportunity

7. Never do something unless you are very sure of what you are doing

8. Remember that your first goal is to find a reliable site and that reduces your half the risk!

9. Always be alert and interact with the members through any platform that is convenient to you.

10. Lastly, don’t give much importance to PTC sites!

Is joining a PTC worth the time?

It is up to you to decide. It depends on a lot of factors. There are some genuine and honest PTC sites like Neobux but you have to find them! You have to just check “Am I going to get a good return?” If your answer is “YES” then you can join. Otherwise you better find other ways of earning money.

I hope this information helps anyone who is new to the PTC world or don’t know much about the PTC sites and contemplating whether to join or not.

All the Best!
