PTC (Paid To Click) is an advertising model, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website.
Nowadays, PTC websites are the most popular get paid opportunities. What does PTC mean? You are get paid for clicking and viewing advertisments. So, PTC is a place where moneymakers and advertisers meet themselves.
It's simple model. Moneymaker wants to make money, advertiser wants to promote his products (website, refferal link etc). PTC programs help to realize their targets.
1. An Email account. I recommend Gmail.
2. An account in an electronic bank, where PTC website pays your earnings. Most of PTC accepts Paypal or Alertpay accounts. I recommend Alertpay as Paypal has issues with some PTCs.
3. Register to PTC website(s), click and view advertisments. Look at my top paying PTC sites list category to find PTC websites. Signup is free and you don't have to pay to join to PTC.
How Does It Work?
Paid advertisments are usually placed in menu "Surf Ads", "View Ads", "Browse Ads", "Paid To Click".
You view websites in a few seconds via the "Surf Ads" page. Once the few seconds is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. Of course the other signs could be used. The green tick sign means you've earned money for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit.
PTC pays you usually $0.01 for each website you visit. Sometimes it is lower or higher payment rate. There is no limit in the amount of websites you visit. Your earning possibilities are virtually endless.
If you have at least minimum of payment accumulated, you can click on your account balance within your stats area and it will submit your request. Currently, PTC websites makes payments via Paypal or AlertPay, but other methods of payment could be accepted.
Anyway, you should read Terms and FAQ in each PTC websites you joined. You can find all of rules and answers.
