We’re now going to get you registered and earning with your first programs and sites. There are a few things to keep in mind first though. These are;

When you sign up to programs and sites, the owners will want to make sure that you are there to earn honestly and not trying to cheat the site/program and its advertisers. They all do this by a variety of methods, some are common methods used by a number of sites and programs and others use their own methods unique to that particular site or program as well. Because of this, all sites will require your name, address and payment processor details. That is why you should have spent the time preparing for this by maximizing your personal and computers security. None of that will matter though, if you give your personal details out too readily, and, without taking measures necessary to ensure that you are confident that they will protect your privacy and not pass on sensitive data to third parties without your permission. So we now come to the next step of researching and joining the sites and programs that are right for you.

Your first group of sites and programs should be ones that are, established, trusted by many, have a proven history of prompt payment, are friendly, approachable, helpful, respected and will allow you to earn in a manor that’s fun and friendly.  Well now we will start you earning, but there are numerous methods to earn money and all have there own positives and negatives. Once you start to earn money you will be doing this (primarily at first) by reading adverts in emails and then visiting the site being advertised. This is part of the Get Paid To… industry that’s called Get Paid To Read, or more commonly known as PTR or Paid To Read. You should start off with this method as it will then lead you to other methods of earning within the GPT industry.

PTR involves sites and programs sending you emails with an advert inside it. You will open the mail, read the advert and then click the link in the mail to visit the website of the product or service being advertised. On arrival at the site, a timer will start and after a predetermined number of seconds, you will receive your payment. This payment will vary from (these values are just examples and each site will attach and have different values to different mails) 0.01cents (one hundredth of a cent) to 1cent per website visited. The timer is there to give the site time to load and you a chance to read and look at the site. When the timer has finished you will see a message stating you have been credited, at this point you are free to close that window or tab providing you have read and looked at the site or product advertised.

This may seem like a small amount of money that you are receiving as payment for reading the advert, and it is, but after a while you will want to sign up with more sites and therefore, reading more adverts earning more money. This should only be done in stages though, because if you take to much work on to quickly you will not be maximizing your productivity, therefore ultimately, losing money in the long run. There are also other factors and methods that will increase your earning power with these sites and I will cover those in detail later on.

I recommend joining no more than 5 or 6 sites to begin with as this could give you anything from 50 to 300 emails a day to read. Once you have completed all the stages of the course you will be able to judge how much time you may have available for joining additional sites.
It is important that your read each and every mail that you open with due care and attention to the product or service being advertised. Some people will sign up to a site or program, open as many emails in many different tabs/windows as possible in one go, wait for the timers to expire and then close all tabs/windows without looking at or read about, the product /site/service being advertised. Please remember that this is called Paid To Read and not Paid To Not Read. You signed up and selected areas of interest in which you would like to receive adverts about. You are not expected to subscribe/purchase every product you see an advert for, but what you are expected to do, is give each advert the due attention it requires. This industry is dependant on (amongst other things) honest members giving advertisers the due diligence that they have paid for in purchasing and sending the advert to you.

OK, when you have read the rest of this stage, click on the links I have provided below. These sites are ideal to begin with as they are established paying sites that also offer other earning opportunities, which we will go into later. First of all, you will be taken to a screen that will ask you to enter the email address you wish to join with and receive mails to. In the bottom left corner of your browser you will see the Noscript symbol, (this is one of the add-ons I recommended you use in the mail concerning security issues) this will be a red circle and line around and through a blue “S”. This means that it is stopping this site from interacting with your computer without your permission.
You will need to give each site permission to interact with your computer when you first visit it by doing the following, REMEMBER TO ONLY ALLOW SITES THAT YOU CAN TRUST, never allow anything permission, if it is not what you expected to see, and in some instances you will see more than one script wanting to interact with your computer. Even with trusted sites there may also be other scripts being prevented, these are normally advertising scripts run by companies like Google for example. Click the Noscript logo, find the name of the site/program from the pop-up menu and click allow XXX, (XXX will be substituted by the name of the site/program). This will then allow this site to run the necessary scripts to allow it to interact with your computer and browser.
Enter your Gmail address in the box, then click submit. You will then will then see a massage saying “A sign up link has been sent to that address” or something similar. Close that screen go to your Gmail inbox and you will see an email from the site titled “Sign up URL” or something similar.

Open that mail and click on the link, this will take you to the sign up page for that program. Here you will need to enter your Name, Username, then select from the drop down menu labelled “send email to” or something similar, your address and contact details, then select the make the selections in the “Areas Of Interest” section, confirm your payment method, enter your payment details, enter a password, confirm your password and then click the register or submit tab. You will see a box with “Referred By” and then the username Longshanks or Longshanks1971, this is my user name and I will explain this later. This process is fairly self explanatory but there are some points that you need to be aware of.

Name and address
If you have done your research properly then entering your name and address should be OK as you have already made sure that you can trust this site and owner.
User name
This should be different from your own name and its your choice as to whether you use the same user name for all of your sites or a different one for each site.
Send emails to
As you are now using Gmail, all email should be delivered to your email address. The drop down menu will give you three options (normally);

Site inbox - These means the adverts will not be delivered to your email address and you will have to go to that site in order to read the paid mails. This a longer process and it could reduce your productivity rates, depending on the speed of that particular site.
Email Address And Inbox - This means that they will be sent to both your Email Address and your inbox at the site. This should be selected if you suspect you are not receiving all of the mails, you can compare the number in the inbox to the number in your email addresses inbox to see if there is more in one than the other, indicating that some mails may be bouncing back. This is not normally a worry with Gmail so there is no need to choose that option until or if, you suspect a problem
Email Address - This is the one you need to select and the mails will shortly start to arrive in your Gmail inbox.
Referred By. In this box you will see my user name and it will be either Longshanks or Longshanks1971. Please leave that in the box as this will mean I will earn a percentage of your earnings on top of what I earn at the site already. This will not affect or reduce the amount you can earn. This is one of the ways that you will also be able to increase your earnings, but we will go over that later.
Select Categories Of Interest
This is where you will see the first of the measures taken to ensure only honest members are joining the program or site. You need to check all the boxes that apply to you and for which you wish to receive paid mails about. Take care to read the options carefully. If you see boxes that state messages similar to the following:

Delete my account, Donate my earnings, I cheat, I can’t read English, etc and you check these boxes you will lose all your earnings and your account. These are there to prevent people who can’t read and understand English from joining, because you will obviously need to be able to read and understand English, in order to be able to read and understand the adverts.
If you see I am Male, I am Female, and you select the wrong one or both, again you could loose your earnings and account, as this could also means that you are trying to cheat, either by trying to get as many mails as possible - for both men and women, or a cheat bot is trying to register an account, or again, you cannot understand English because you cannot differentiate between the words male and female.
Age range boxes, again check only the one that is appropriate for you, because of the reasons mentioned before.
PayPal Premium or Business, or Mass Pay - Not all sites do this but members that have a premium or business PayPal account will have to pay a fee on all payments made to them. Some programs will pay these members via something called Mass Pay, this means they will not be subjected to fees on their payments, so select this option if you have a premium or business PayPal account. Sometimes these options will also appear on the “Select Payment Method” drop down menu, again select the appropriate one.
You will also see check boxes for different types of advertising - Internet, Cars, Home and garden etc. You need to check the boxes of the categories that you wish to see advertising about. This enables the sites advertisers to target their advertising to interested parties / members.
You may also see the options;
Search mail - Only select this if you are from one of the “search countries” . If you select this option and you are not from the appropriate countries you risk losing your account and/or earnings. Search countries are normally; Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. Although this can vary with each site so always check first and leave blank until you have checked to see if you are eligible. Search mails enable you to look or search for something on the Internet via a specified search engine. These are smaller than the conventional search engines such as Google, MSN, Ask.com etc but are not always as effective at finding sites relevant to the subject you are searching for. This does vary from engine to engine though, and some of them can be effective.
Point Mail - These are paid mails but they carry a point value as opposed to a cash value. These can be good as you can use points to purchase advertising, exchange for cash, or in a few sites, gain access to a “reward area” when you have accumulated a certain point balance. Some people (like me) like point mails and use them to redeem for advertising, whilst others do not, so make your choice and either opt-in by checking the box or opt-out by leaving the box blank. As you will shortly be purchasing your own advertising (don't worry, we will not do this until you understand it, again we will cover this later) I suggest opting in for point mails as you can often get good value advertising using your points balance.
PTP Mail - This is another area of the GPT industry called Get Paid To Promote, or Paid To Promote also known by the abbreviation of PTP. These mails are sent by other members that will carry advertising for the site which operates that particular PTP page, this is the site that the mails are attached to and are not sent or controlled by, the site that you receive them from. These types of mails will be lower in value and contain a page that will have quite a few adverts rotating within them. This is where the security aspect that we covered earlier is particularly relevant. A lot of the pages will contain ads rotating in them from a third party advertiser. This means that the owner and provider of that PTP advert does not always have full control of the scripts, content and coding contained within those adverts. For this reason, it sometimes occurs that these pages may contain adult advertising and/or dangerous content (spyware malware viruses etc). Having said that they can sometimes contain very interesting adverts. If a program has a certain activity requirement for membership, or the ability to use the PTP feature yourself, (meaning you need to view a certain number of ads) you may need to opt-in for these mails. Having said that, normal adverts and respectable sites can also be infected or hacked so PC security is a high priority for all aspects of Internet-Earning.
If there is any option available to check or select and you do not understand what it means, then leave it blank and check with owner of the site. A responsible site owner will always be happy to help you whenever you have difficulty in understanding the registration process. Never check something that you do not understand as this could result in suspension or loss of your account and earnings.

When you are happy that you have completed the registration form and have selected all the aspects you wish to receive advertising on, click “submit” or “register”. You will then receive an email containing your log in details which will be your user-name and/or email address and your password in order to log-in to the site. The URL (website address you are given in the mail) needs to be bookmarked. This will allow to have quick access to it when you wish to check your balance or enter other sections of the site. So to do this;
First of all open a new tab or browser window
When that has loaded, click "Organize Bookmarks"
A new window will open, click the "New Bookmark" tab
In the name box enter Paid To Read and click "OK"
You will then see a new folder appear with the name Paid To Read.
Close that window as you have now finished with it
Go back to the email containing your log-in details
Click on the URL in the mail to be taken to the log-in page of the site.
When that page has loaded - Click Bookmarks at the top of your browser
Click "Bookmark This Page" and you will see;

Except the name box will have the name of the site you have just opened in it.
There is drop-down menu with another, separate little tab next to it, click that little tab and another drop-down menu will appear
Click the "Paid to read" folder we have just created and it is now stored.
Instead of typing in the URL every time you wish to visit the site, just click your bookmarks tab at the top of the browser, hover the cursor over the paid to read folder, a side menu will appear, you can either then click the name of the site you wish to visit or, at the very bottom of the side menu, you will see "open all in tabs", just click that and it will automatically open all sites within that folder, each one in their own separate tab. This is particularly useful if you want to check your account stats at your paid to read sites during your monthly check. (this is explained below)

You will then need to track your earnings and payout requests along with the relevant log-in details. You can do this in one of two ways. You can either, create a spreadsheet or use the traditional pen and paper method for each site. You will need to put your log-in details on it, along with the minimum payout threshold. You will also need columns to enter current earnings, date of payout request, down-line statistics (I will cover this in detail later) and one for the date payment was received. People track their earnings and payout requests in different ways, but if you are unsure of what to do and when, I recommend starting off doing the following;
At a specific date every month (ie: the first of every month), log into your programs in turn. On your spreadsheet or page for that site (whichever method you have used);
Enter the date, your current earnings balance, the number of people in your down-line (remember, I will explain this later), and if appropriate your payment request. Do this at the same time every month and if you have requested a payout, when you receive it, return to the spreadsheet or page and enter the date the payment was received.
I have found that this method strikes the right balance between earning and tracking important figures like, payment dates, average wait after requesting payment to receiving the payment, how fast your down-line is growing, and generally getting an idea of what you can earn from each program and the speed of which you can earn it. This will be useful as sometimes you may want to replace slower earning sites with faster earning sites. If you do not know how to create your own spreadsheets, you can use those that are attached to your Gmail account. Simply click on "Documents" from your Gmail main Page in the top left hand corner of the screen, just above your inbox.

OK now you know what to do, these are the sites I recommend you start of with. I will show you how to research additional programs that you may wish to join, in detail - later. For now the important thing is start you earning, and these are sites that are widely respected, run in a professional manor and have a reputation for prompt and regular payments to members.
