You May Be Questioning If Pay To Click Programs Are Actually The Real Deal
A lot of people start their online marketing journey with PTC (Pay To Click) web sites. That’s what I set out to do. I will discuss what a PTC website is for people who don’t already know. A Pay-to-Click web site pays you some money for just watching a short advertisement, normally lasting around half a minute or so. Each time you see an entire Monavie ad (they ordinarily last approximately half a minute), a little cash is deposited into your PTC account, which can only be taken out when you’ve accumulated a specific amount, oftentimes in the $5 range. In addition, nearly all of these web sites have a bit more to them, like special options accessible only to members, and referral rewards.
You buy MLM sponsoring referrals (or you can recruit them), and you get approximately 50% of how much they make from clicking advertisements. So, if you are paid a penny from clicking an ad, you’ll get half a cent from PTC members you referred. It may not seem that profitable, but think about if you had several thousand referrals working for you. There are also special membership options that let you obtain more referrals, more adverts and more money for each click (usually for both your own clicks and your referrals’ clicks). An enhanced membership ordinarily comes in at a high cost but in the long haul, you would generate more cash with it.
Now let’s say you join a PTC program and it has four adverts. You buy a membership and you receive one thousand referrals. Each of your own clicks gets you a penny and so does each of your referrals’ clicks. And so if you click on all four ads and all of your referrals watch all four ads, that’s a total of 40 dollars. You would say that no, that doesn’t sound awful. That would be a good amount of cash to generate per day, doesn’t it?
The reality is, nearly all PTC programs are nothing but scams. Think “pyramid schemes”, for that’s essentially all they are. They are referred to as “pyramids” because only the ones at or near the top generate any money, while people who are lower the pyramid ordinarily end up getting nothing. Here’s an example: If 10 people throw in 10 dollars, that sums up to one hundred dollars. The scheme starter may return $15 to 4 people in his down line, leaving the rest of the folks unpaid. The way PTC programs do this is by getting you to invest in membership and referrals (normally not even actual people but bots) and then they pay you out with money that others have invested in membership and referrals. Because so many referrals may merely be bots, and thus non-paying, the cash from watching ads cannot cover all the pay-outs. Inescapably, they run out of likely members and people stop investing, leaving folks who weren’t among the first to join losing money. If you are among the ones at the top, in from the get-go, there’s a chance of making some cash, but it is not balanced by the risks.
My recommendation is that you keep your distance from Pay-to-Click services like the plague. You could earn a small amount money or not, based on how high and close to the head schemer you are, but he’s a scammer and every person under you is losing money. It’s just not a good thing.
