PTC Sites: Are They Profitable Enough?
One of the popular internet marketing crazes that right now appeals to many novices is to begin with Pay-to-Click Sites (PTC). I, myself, started just that. I will elaborate on what a PTC website is for folks who don’t know. With a pay to click (PTC) web site, you get paid just to view 30-second (or so) advertisements. Also, most of these sites have a little more to them, like special options given only to members, and referral rewards.
Whether you amass your referrals yourself or buy them, when those folks view advertisements, you make around one-half what they gget. Simply Put, if you are getting a penny for watching an ad, you’ll as well make half a penny.005 every time each one of your referrals does the same. It appears like kind of a slow way to go, but imagine what will happen if you have tons of people under you. Lots of these PTC sites likewise offer some special options to their members, allowing for more cash per click (sometimes for your referrals as well as yourself), more ads and more referrals.
Now let’s say you sign up to a Pay-to-Click and it has four adverts. You then obtain 1,000 folks to register using your referral link. And let’s say that both you and your referrals get a penny a click. Do the math. Think “pyramid schemes”, for that’s basically all of them are. A pyramid scheme is where individuals put in money anticipating more in return after a period of time, but the person in charge simply disburses more cash to a few of the people and the others are left with nada, or very little. For instance, if 10 peeople each invest , that’s a hundred bucks. The owner may pay out to 4 members and keep the remainder himself, leaving nearly all of the other members out of pocket. How are they able to do this? Simple. To start, they entice you into joining ass a member and purchasing a few referrals (usually bots, not even humans). They then pay out with cash that others have invested in for their memberships and referrals. Eventually, folks are going to stop investing in the PTC web site and the last individuals to invest are not going to see any money. If you started the plan, or were fortunate enough to get in right near the top, you can perhaps show a bit profit, but is it worth the risk? No.
Personally, I would urge keeping your distance from Pay-to-Click web sites, as the genuine ones will earn you very little money and the PTC sites that make big money are typically scams, leading to somebody losing out.
