Tips & Advice
What is it?
PTR is an abbreviation for Paid to Read, also known as get paid to read emails, get paid to surf and get paid to search.
How does it work?
The first step is of course for you to sign up. I suggest creating an email account exclusively for this purpose. When your account has been activated, emails will be sent to you bearing links to websites of participating advertisers. Your job is to click on those links and stay on the site long enough for your account to be credited. Each link you visit will earn you points or cents. When you reach a certain amount of points you can exchange it for items, or if the program is paying cash, you will be paid either by check or money transfer (ex. Paypal or E-Gold) as soon as you reach the minimum payout. Payouts may either be automatic, random, or you can decide when you want to receive your cash. Payment schemes vary so it's important to read the fine print before you sign up.
How much will I earn?
It depends. First, the more links you visit the more points or cents are added to your account. Second, having downlines that are active will also help you earn more and faster. Downlines are people you referred to the program who've signed up under you. Normally, you earn a certain amount for each referral and the downlines of your referrals. This is also known as MLM or multi-level marketing.
What are the pros?
Membership is free and you get to earn by doing something you already do often which is checking your emails and surfing.
What are the cons?
Don't expect to earn much from PTRs, it takes time and a lot of patience to do so, not to mention you need to have several active referrals to help you earn. Some people who do this invite referrals by posting messages on forums or sending out emails to family, friends and even strangers. Due to the number of people involved in these types of programs, those who invite through message boards are sometimes blacklisted and email invites are deemed as spam or junk mail.
What to look for before I join?
Generally, good PTR programs are those that have been in the business for a while, has a good track record of payouts and isn't run anonymously.
What has been your experience with PTRs?
This was actually one of the first programs I signed up for when I became a wahm. I enjoyed doing PTRs at first, but since I was on a dial-up connection, it soon became tedious. Also, since I didn't actively seek referrals, earning points and cents was very, very slow. Some people swear they've earned a decent amount of cash through PTRs. So , as long as you don't pay to join, have time on your hands and have a fast Internet connection, you may want to give it a try.
