Before you go joining Paid To Click sites and clicking away, here are a few things that you need to keep in mind so as to avoid getting banned or not getting the full potential of all the PTC sites I already recommended.

10 Things You Need to Know About PTC Sites

Reminder #1:
READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS) of the site you're joining. I know, some of us have this annoying habit of ignoring or not reading policies or TOS of sites we join. Reading the TOS will save you time and energy. It's better to know what you're getting into.

Reminder #2:
Earning from these Paid To Click sites takes time. You need to be extremely PATIENT.
If you check my PTC Site Reviews on the right side, all of the PTC Sites pay only $0.01 per ad that you click or view. So, it'll take time to reach the minimum cash-out amount.
Take note that it's a FREE money-making program. If you want to earn more, go upgrade your account or buy referrals. Or simply refer your friends!

Reminder #3:
Use your mouse to click the ads. Don't use tab or don't right-click the ads and open them on a new tab or window. Once you click on the ads, anyway, they'll open on a new window or on top of your current window.
Why? If you don't use your mouse, you'll be detected as a bot or auto-surfer and you'll risk getting your account deleted and/or balance wiped out.

Reminder #4:
BE ACTIVE! Even if you have thousands of referrals, you have to click everyday. Most of the sites are very strict with inactive members. If you're inactive for a couple of days or a week, they will AUTOMATICALLY delete your account.

Reminder #5:
As soon as you hit the minimum cash-out amount, request for payment! This is to avoid not getting your earned money when the PTC site goes down or disappears all of a sudden.
I even heard some rumors about members being banned for cashing out a huge amount of money on their accounts, when they never cashed out anything yet since they started.

Reminder #6:
Don't invest (upgrade or buy referrals) yet until you have received your first or second payment. This is to ensure that the PTC site is legit. Yes, there are payment proofs out there but first-hand experience is better than a thousand payment proofs, right?

Reminder #7:
Keep a list of your earnings daily so you can get back to the admin or owners of the PTC sites in case there's a problem.
Me and my partner made an Excel file to keep track of our earnings. A simple notepad or text file will do, though. An actual notebook is better. Hehehe.

Reminder #8:
POST YOUR PAYMENT PROOFS! Most PTC sites encourage and some even require their members to post their payment proofs on their forums. This is to show other members and would-be members that their site is legit. This will help everyone, members and owners.
If you don't know how to do that, then, I'll show you how.




#1: Download Irfanview here. Install it and run.
#2: Make a screenshot of your payment under Transaction History Details on your payment processor (e.g, AlertPay, Paypal) by pressing PrintScreen (PRT SCR) on your keyboard.
#3: Go back to IrfanView and paste (CTRL+V).
#4: Drag your mouse to select what you want others to see on your payment proof. Make sure your email address, or any other information is not included. Afterwards, press CTRL+Y (Crop selection)
It's okay to leave the Reference # on the screenshot. We'll edit that later.
So, here's an example:





#5: Drag your mouse to select the Reference No.. I prefer not showing this info to everyone, just to be safe.


#6: Go to the Image menu -> Effects -> Oil Paint.
It should apply the effect on the reference # only. If something else happens, CTRL+Z to undo it.
The result should look something like this:



#7: Save the file as GIF (proof1.gif) and don't select any color to be transparent.


#8: Upload it to any free Image hosting service on the web like:
Photobucket
ImageShack
They offer different options for posting, such as forum thumbnails, direct link, etc.


#9: Take note of the DIRECT LINK for future posting.


Reminder #9: BE EXTREMELY PATIENT
Some sites, like BuxTo, have a long queue of members to pay. So, with them, members have been waiting for months and months for their payment. Just be patient. Continue clicking and don't focus too much on waiting because that will just irritate you more.

Hope these reminders help you in your online money making adventures! Share with me your experiences, ok?
