The REAL secret to PTC sites.

Using PTC websites is probably the easiest way to generate income on the internet, but few individuals make a lot of money with them. That's because the real "secret" to creating decent cash-flow with paid-to-click websites is getting referrals. Most individuals have no concept of how to obtain these referrals, therefore they generate only a few dollars (or sometimes just cents) of additional income every month. Here are some tips to help drive more direct referrals to your favorite PTC website(s).

Start by asking your friends and family: I find that honest word-of-mouth works best, but most sites offer an option to deliver an e-mail or message to your friends, family, neighbors, and so forth, to ask them if they are interested in joining. Present some evidence that it pays out. Just be sincere when you encourage them to be a part of the site; explain that it’s just a way to generate some income in your spare time. Besides, if you really do like the sites you're recommending it shouldn't be difficult.
 
Make video tutorials for YouTube: Set up a YouTube channel and post video clips, where you guide people through how the ptc site you are advertising functions. Show how easy it is to generate income from it. If you help someone they will be more inclined to help you in return and you're readying the viewer with knowledge of how to succeed. Their success increases your chances of success.

Promote your referral link on Traffic Exchanges: On traffic exchanges, you click through other members’ websites to generate credits. The credits can then be used to promote your own web pages. Keep in mind though, that individuals visiting your web page only see it for about 20 seconds, so it is important to pick up their interest. Build a web page that's quick to load, with a excellent title, and a short conclusion of why they should be a part of the web page. Check into the sites' rules: not all TEs allow the promotion of PTC or GPT websites.

Create a blog or website: This is possibly the most difficult way to get PTC referrals. It takes skill and effort to build a successful blog, but it also can be the most fulfilling. There are many places where you can set up a blog for free, like Weebly, Wordpress, and of course Blogger. To attract your guests, make sure you publish useful and original content. You could write about your encounters with different PTC websites and post your proof of payments. Use the blog as your space to place your referral link within your content. Try researching SEO so you can target the best search phrases and get more google search engine visitors .

Promote your referral link on social media networks: Create accounts on public networking sites. Place your links and banner ad campaigns on your profile page. Keep your information personal and don't spam. Publish your blog page and web page links to social bookmarking websites. I like to use a site like bufferapp or twitterfeed to make sure I'm promoting regularly (but not annoyingly so).

Work with a referral exchange program: There are a number of websites where you can swap ptc/gpt referrals with other associates. Most of these referral exchange sites offer four ways to generate credits: by signing up as another member's referral for a ptc site you haven't joined before, by clicking advertiser's links, purchasing credits using your own funds, and by sending the exchange site new referrals. The credits gained can then be used to buy referrals to promote your PTC web page of choice. See the previous post "I'm Looking For Referrals" for some referral exchange site recommendations.

Post in forums: There are many boards on the Internet about generating massive income on the internet. Forums usually allows you add hyperlinks on your profile page and in your signature. With a signature link individuals will see your site whenever you make a new post. But don’t spam it up – be relevant toward the topic at hand and only make helpful content that can be of value to other forum users. If you get involved in conversation, and if you're experienced and provide useful information people will respect you, and the possibilities of them signing up as your referral will improve. Many boards also have a section where you can swap PTC referrals with other associates, for example: eMoneySpace Referral Exchange Board.

Advertise on other PTC sites: Buying banner space or placing your link on PTC websites can be a very effective way to get more referrals. The disadvantage: you need to invest money before it becomes successful. However, on some websites you can use the payments you've received to buy some advertising. If you don't want to risk your own cash, this might be the way to go. Many seasoned promoters send their guests to something other than a simple referral site. Make a web page with links or banners to more than one PTC/GPT site. Here's another situation where your payments proofs and a review can improve the possibilities of guests joining via your referral link.

Buy or lease unclaimed referrals: Many individuals signup with PTC websites without using a recommendation weblink, or maybe their original referrer has been removed. Some PTC websites allow you buy or lease those unreferred members. Prices vary from site to site. Also, there is no guarantee that the referrals you lease will be active, so there is always the chance of losing some of the cash you spent. Usually it is a wise decision to upgrade your account to really make it work for you. Just be careful when investing your cash in a PTC page, especially if it’s new and have not yet been proven to be reputable.

Promote new PTC sites: New PTC sites and GPT sites can be risky, keep that in mind. However, it is far easier to get new referrals for newer programs. Trying to promote a well-known website can be trickier than promoting a new site because many people have already signed up for the older site.
