I am now going to give you an idea of what top expect with the next stage. The industry you will be primarily earning from is called the "GPT Industry". GPT means Get Paid To... and then each division of the industry will have a secondary title. The list below will explain some of the different names and abbreviations.
Names And Abbreviations
GPT = Get Paid To....
Get Paid To Read, this is abbreviated to PTR, meaning Paid To Read. This method of earning entails you being sent emails, which you will receive a small payment to read the content of, and then click a link. This link will take you to the site of the product or service being advertised in the paid email. Then a timer will start and after a pre-determined number of seconds, your account will be credited.
Get Paid To Click, this is abbreviated to PTC, meaning Paid To Click. It is not necessary to understand this aspect of the industry at the moment because you will just drown in a sea of useless information!! I will cover this aspect of the industry once you have begun to earn some money.
Get Paid To Post, this does not have an abbreviation as such and is known simply as Paid To Post. Again we will cover this area later.
Get Paid To Promote, this is abbreviated to PTP, meaning Paid To Promote. Again we will cover this area later.
Get Paid To Sign Up, this is abbreviated to PTSU, meaning Paid To Sign Up. Again we will cover this are later.
Those are the names and abbreviations that you will see a lot of, once you have started receiving your first paid mails. The adverts you will see will be for a range of topics, subjects, products and services, but most of them will be advertising different sites belonging to different aspects of the GPT industry. I have given you a list of abbreviations so that you will have an understanding of the sites you will see being advertised. You may not want sign up or join any sites that you see advertised just yet, as you need to know how to tell good sites from bad. If you do see something that is of interest to you, my advice would be to make a note of it and wait until you have the knowledge to research it properly before joining. I will show you how to do this but it is important that I show you how to earn first.
Starting With Paid To Read
The section of the industry that I will start you earning in, is the Paid To Read section of the GPT industry. There will be a few aspects that you need to be aware of first. Unfortunately the GPT industry is one in which dishonesty is all too prevalent. It is also an industry, that when you know how to recognize and avoid this dishonesty, can be fun, rewarding, open up other methods of earning (thereby increasing your earning potential) and last, but not least, introduce you to new friends and acquaintances. So in order to minimize and try and eliminate the dishonesty where possible, certain means and methods are employed by both members and sites/program owners. You need to be aware of, and recognize the steps and measures taken by the sites and programs you are about to join. So to familiarize you with these aspects I will explain what you are about to encounter when you join your first program and receive the first of your paid mails. Instead of listing them all and expecting you to memorize them, I will go through the measures taken in the order you will encounter them. I have found this way to be the best method due to the feedback I have received from the people I have helped in the past. I will then help you to work in a way that is honest and fun. After all this industry needs both honest site/program owners and honest members.
The primary cause for concern amongst program/site owners is ensuring that their member base is an honest one, that will give their advertisers the attention to their products and services that they have paid for. With this in mind, the owners will be looking for dishonest members that are not paying attention, not reading the advertising that they are being sent, even though they have requested to be sent those adverts. They will also be trying to detect and prevent members using "bots" or software programs, that will open and click links, (thereby getting their accounts credited) without they themselves, even seeing the adverts and links.
So they employ a wide range of methods to detect this fraudulent activity, some are unique to each site and some are methods in common use right across the GPT industry. The only ones you need to be aware of, as an honest member, are tests to see if you are actually giving the adverts and links your attention, as you agreed to, by opting in to receive these mails. Therefore these are mainly English and reading tests. English tests because nearly all of the sites you're about to join require you to be able to read and understand English, and reading tests, to ensure that you are actually reading the adverts. There are three specific tests that you will encounter and they are, in the order you come across them;
Bad Keyword Selection Options. These will be in the section where you will check the boxes of the subjects you would like to see advertising about, when you first register with program/site.
There will be options for selection something like;
Computers & Internet, Business Opportunities, Home & Garden etc etc. You simply select which of these topics you would like to see advertising for. Some of them will be English tests, things like;
I cheat, Delete Me, I can't Read English etc, etc. Obviously if you select these then you are either not paying attention, and not reading, or you can't really read and understand English. So selecting one of these options will result in your account being deleted or suspended before you start.
Turning numbers. After you have registered with the site and receive your first paid mails you will have to log on when you click your first paid link. You do not have to do this separately, the link in the paid mail will take you through this process when you click your first link or the day. You may come across something call a turning number. Not all sites use these and of those that do, you may encounter them periodically as you work through your paid mails. This is normally in the form of a set of numbers appearing in a box and you have to click the corresponding number from a selection of numbers below it. If you click the wrong option it will keep reloading different numbers until you select the right one. This is primarily to detect and prevent the "cheat Bots", the automated software programs accessing the paid links. How ever you also need to show you are paying attention to select the correct combination.
And finally,
English Tests and/or Cheat Links. These are emails that are periodically sent out to make sure that you are able to read and understand the adverts. They will have the same general layout as the paid mails but instead of the advert wording it will say something along the lines of;
"This is a cheat link - do not click this link", "Clicking this link will cost you (and then a value here) - do not click", "This is a bad email - delete this mail" etc etc. They are quite obviously not adverts and if you are able to read and understand English and are not a "Cheat Bot", then you would not click this link. However, if you do accidentally click one of these cheat links, you will normally be taken to a special page in the site that will state, "You have just clicked a cheat link - close this window or tab immediately". If this happens you need to contact the site/program owner immediately and explain what you have done. Some programs/sites will allow so many of these clicks and then you will lose your account and earnings. If however, you do contact them and explain, some owners may understand that you have made a genuine mistake and that cheat click will be removed from your account. This is obviously at the discretion of each individual owner but you must always contact them, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Having taken all that into account, you are now ready to start earning and joining your first programs and sites. I will take you through that process in the next stage.
