Paid To Read

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.
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 site/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 members.
The primary cause for concern amongst program/site owners is ensuring that their member base is an honest one, that they 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 most of the sites 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 you 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 then 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.

Paid To Click

This section of the GPT industry operates in a way that you will need to visit the site to click the links, they are all 24 hour unique visit links (meaning you can only receive credit once in 24 hours for clicking and reading the ad) but, some of the busier sites will deliver all of the clicks to the ad in a very short while, and the stable and established ones will be adding links throughout the day, so you may wish to visit more than once a day if you have time. The most important aspect with this section of the industry is that there is a big influx of new sites every week. The PTC section of the industry is a lot more unstable than PTR, with many of the new sites offering links worth 3 or 4 times the value of an ordinary paid email ad. As a result they are lasting, in some cases, only a few weeks. Members and outside advertisers are going to compare prices of advertising within different sites, and different types of sites. As a result the owners of these types of sites find it very difficult to attract advertisers. If they have no ads, members will go elsewhere, it they have no members, the advertisers will find that there advert will take a very long time to get the number of visits they have paid for. In that case, they too will go elsewhere. So no members and no advertisers means that the site goes out of business taking all members earnings with them.
So again, you need to research the sites you are thinking about joining. Even with research, you can join a site that you have seen the members stating they have been paid multiple times, but by the time you reach payout, because of the reasons above, it has gone out of business and you have lost all earnings accrued up to that point.
This is also an area of the industry where the selling and buying of referrals is prevalent. Please remember that although many people buy sets of referrals and make a large profit doing so, many more, buy referrals and unfortunately lose money in doing so. Research of every site before you join is of the up-most importance and it is no different here either. The problem in this section of the industry is a great percentage of the programs are new and therefore have no history at all to check. A lot of people now dismiss the Paid To Click section of the industry altogether because of the instability caused by new sites appearing every week, and then failing within six months.
Another thing to keep in mind with this section of the industry is that the average payout request is $10.00, so if you do not have a large down-line then there is the very real possibility that the site will close down before you reach payout. You might try and avoid that by joining low payout sites, but then you have to realize that most of them started out with low payout limits, but as they started failing, gradually began raising the limit. Again, if you have no down-line there is a chance that the payout limit will rise before you have even reached the original, lower limit.
Another cause for concern is a worrying trend that has started to occur, in which a new site will make one or two rounds of payments, the people that receive these payments will then have the confidence to start recruiting new members, as they now have proof of payment. Prospective members see that people are being paid and they will join. This larger member base now allows them to bring in bigger additional advertisers. At this stage members are now also buying ads as they have confidence in the site, other members start buying referrals, again because confidence is high, it is at this time that the program disappears after receiving this large influx of payments from members and advertisers.
So this area of the industry, at the present time, warrants careful research and consideration when looking for new sites to join.

Paid To Promote

Paid to promote is an additional method of earning, most commonly attached to PTR sites. The first thing you need to know are what the terms and phrases you will see in the PTP section actually mean, so I'll go through them now.
Approved Sites This is a list of sites where you are permitted to advertise your PTP page at, this will vary from site to site
CPM This means cost per thousand, M is a Roman Numeral that means 1000. So when you see PTP advertised at $0.60 CPM, this means for every 1000 credits you earn are worth $0.60.
Credit Each person that views your PTP page will earn you a predetermined number of credits, the number of credits awarded are dependant on what tier the member who viewed your ad is.

Invalid Hit This is a hit to your page that will not earn you credit. It can be because the member didn't let the page load properly before closing the page down, it can be a repeat visit - meaning they have already clicked on your page within the last 24 hours, perhaps at another site your page is also advertised at, or, a hit from a site that is not listed in the approved sites directory.
Targeting This is where you can target an advert for your PTP page to a specific audience, with PTP you may try to target your ad to members of Tier 1 and 2 countries as they will earn you more credits per view.
Tiers There are four tiers (some sites will have five tiers), each tier consists of a group of countries. The higher the tier, the more credits you earn, so a member in the UK, which is a Tier 1 country, will earn more credits for you when they visit your page, than a member in China, which is a Tier 4 country.
Unique Hit This is a view to your PTP page from a member that has not visited the page in the last 12/24 hours which ever is applicable (most are 24, but a few sites offer 12 hour unique visits).
Valid Hit This is a hit that has been credited to your account, because the member that viewed the ad allowed the page to load and had not visited it in the past 12/24 hours (whichever is applicable)
Some programs with PTP's credit cash to your account automatically for each valid hit you receive to your PTP link whereas in most programs, the credits will get accumulated until you redeem them yourself.
Some sites will offer additional banners to use within this section and some sites list all the banners in your members referral centre section. The main thing to remember when using PTP is that use the correct URL at the correct time. To help me I list the PTP link on the same document that has the rest of my ref banners and URL's but I bold the PTP and display it in a different colour. By doing that way, it is easier for me to select the appropriate link that I need.
Each site will offer different PTP rates, one site may state a $0.60 CPM, whilst another offers $0.80. Each view of your PTP will earn a specified number of credits. How many credits depends on where the viewer is located. A user in the UK will earn more credits per view for you as they are in a Tier 1 country, whilst a member in China will earn you less credits for the same view as they are in a Tier 4 country. All the information about how that program defines their Tiers is listed under "Tiers Info", this is broadly the same for most sites but its always best to double check first. For this reason most members will try and target their views to Tier 1 and 2 countries, therefore earning them more credits per view. Each site will convert the credits to cash at a different rate, so you need to check that before you start your campaign as well.
You must always check the conditions of use for the PTP feature at each individual site, some programs require you to click a certain number of links, whilst others may have no conditions.
Once you know where to advertise and how much your credits are worth and how many credits will be earned for the different Tiers, you are ready to go. You can either buy advertising for you PTP ads, you can use click exchanges (you will click another members PTP link and in return they will click yours), you can list them in your signature at forums, or you can use traffic exchanges. Most people will use a combination of all these, but what you must ensure is that you are only using approved sites for displaying you link. If you use a site that is not on this list, every view received will be invalid. You can see what percentage of invalid hits (along with all the other information you need) by clicking "Statistics", always check back here regularly, try and keep your "Invalid" statistics as low as possible because some owners may suspend your PTP page if this percentage gets to big. Again this can vary from site to site.

Paid To Sign Up

This section of the industry unfortunately is not open to a lot of people. Most Paid To Sign Up sites (PTSU's) are open to mainly members from Tier 1 and 2 countries, and even some of those are excluded. Some of the sites will allow international members to join as promoters, this means you are only able to earn by recruiting, and then earning through commissions from your down-line. So part of your research (as with all sites) is to read the Terms Of Service (TOS) to check your eligibility.
If you are able to join, then you could find the section of the industry very useful. You will get paid to subscribe, try and buy to/from various sites/companies/programs. There are offers that require no purchase or deposit, and others that require a product purchase, or paid subscription. Some of the later will require a credit card in order to complete the purchase or subscription. But you will always earn an amount greater than the initial purchase/subscription fee, providing the offer is approved.
You need to follow the terms and conditions closely when completing these offers, as there are qualifying criteria that have to be met in order for you to complete the offer successfully and qualify for payment. There are members that sign up for various products and services with no intention of continuing with subscription or purchase after they have received payment. They will also try and complete the same offer across many sites. This type of activity is completely against the spirit of this section of the industry. You should look to use these type of programs to see if there is a product or service that you are genuinely interested in, try it, then receive your payment. I look at this section of the industry as allowing me to continue with my normal purchases and interests, in testing new sites/services/products and the payment I receive is a bonus.

There is a wide range of offers and products available on many sites, but always try and record any that you participate in, if you repeat that offer at another site, only the first transaction will be approved, but if you are using this section of the industry in the same spirit it was intended with, that will not be a problem.

Paid To Post

The 'Paid To Post' section of the GPT industry is a very simple concept. You join a forum and will receive credit in one form or another for participating in various threads within that forum. Payment is usually given in the form of cash or advertising credits. They are not large payments, so its best used as a nice addition to something you would have done anyway. The 'Paid To Review' section of the GPT industry pays a little better as you will normally have to visit a site and complete a short feedback form on that particular site.

Paid To Surf

This is a section of the GPT industry that I do not do. It is a fairly simple way of earning on line though, as the name says you get paid a certain rate to surf on line. This is done by downloading a piece of software that monitors your on-line activities. Some sites will have limits on how many hours they will credit you for each month and others will simply pay you a smaller rate but credit you for a longer period of time.
