How To Make Money With Paid To Click Programs - Your Complete Step by Step Guide

 

Important note: The marketing techniques outlined on this page can be used to promote any program but work particularly well with any of the programs reviewed on the Paid to Click Programs page of this site. It is recommended you join at least one of these programs prior to following the steps in this guide. They are all 100% free to join. Throughout this guide we will be referring to these programs as downline building programs”.

You are also welcome to refer others to this guide.

INTRODUCTION

I guess the reason you have landed on this page is because you are interested in finding out more information about how you can earn through Paid to Click programs. The very fact that you are reading this page tells me you are someone who is prepared to give some extra time to building and developing an income online - and that you have a desire to learn more. This is great news, because it means there’s a pretty good chance you could be the right sort of person to make a success out of PTC programs.

Before I get down to the nuts and bolts of how you go about developing a part time income of between $500 and $1,000 per month using nothing more than PTC programs, I want to make sure you understand one or two crucially important points.

So many people who join PTC programs get disillusioned very quickly when they realize that for every 20 minutes they spend clicking they only earn 20 or 30 cents for their trouble. That’s less than one dollar per hour... peanuts in other words - and who in their right mind would bother?

STOP RIGHT THERE!

I’ll be quite honest with you and tell you that the money you make as an individual through PTC sites will probably never pay for much more than a chocolate bar each day, but what you have to remember - and I can’t stress this enough - is the money is in the referrals.

Let me give you an example:

Neobux is a well respected PTC site that pays it’s members $0.01 for every ad they click and $0.005 for every ad their referrals click. The average number of ads made available each day is 5, meaning the average figure you as an individual will earn is 5 cents per day. 5 cents for 2 -3 minutes of clicking may seem like a total waste of time. But now imagine you have 50 referrals all clicking 5 ads each day too. Your daily income has instantly risen to $1.25, without you having to lift a finger! That’s $37.5 a month residual cash. And 50 referrals is a conservative figure. Once you’ve built up to 100 referrals you are looking at monthly earnings of at least $75... $150 for 200 referrals... and so it goes on. And that’s just through one PTC program! If you join a program like Free Internet Money or Marketing  Pond you can multiply that figure by at least 10.

Spending 20 minutes a day clicking those same ads for something in the region of $1,000 a month doesn’t sound quite so bad does it?

Another point you need to remember is the qualities you need to make a success of an online business are exactly the same as those required to develop a profitable offline business. I’ve been involved in online marketing for over 3 years now and one of the many things I have learnt is that no matter what some sites may promise you, there is no such thing as a get rich quick fix. Some of the ways of earning online are not difficult, but you only get out of it what you put in. It takes hard work, determination and perseverance just like in the “real” world. If you follow the steps below I more or less guarantee you will start to see results pretty quickly, but don’t get disillusioned if progress is slow to start off with. The figures I’m quoting you on this page are most certainly achievable - if you go about it the right way and give it time to develop. Remember the famous saying “Rome wasn‘t built in a day” and you won’t go far wrong.

So - if after reading all of this you are still with me and you want to “give it a go” - I look forward to working with you - and let’s get started...

 

Before You  
Begin Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five

Your Step by Step Guide To Making Money With Paid To Click Programs

Essentially there are five parts to this guide and these can be broken down as follows:

  • PART ONE - Shows you how to register with all of the PTC/PTR programs available within the member’s area of your chosen downline building program, create bookmarks and use tabbed browsing
  • PART TWO - Takes you through registering with 15 Traffic Exchanges and provides some helpful tips about how to get the best results from your surfing.
  • PART THREE - Takes you through registering with 20 safelists and developing a plan for building your credits. Also includes a step by step guide to creating filters for your e mails in Googlemail, to save you even more time.
  • PART FOUR - Helps you to create a weekly timetable - and stick to it!
  • PART FIVE - Some advice about developing a system for keeping in touch with your referrals and encouraging them to do the same as you!

I’ve tried to simplify things as much as possible, but there is a lot of information within this guide. Undoubtedly the hardest part is setting everything up, but once the preparation work has been done everything will start to take shape. Take your time and work through it at your own pace – there is no rush. And don’t forget if you need any clarification at any time I am only an e mail away (address is at the foot of the page).

Before you start

  • In order to get paid by the PTC/PTR sites you will need accounts with both Paypal and and Alertpay. If you’re not familiar with Alertpay, it is a payment processor which is now well recognized amongst internet marketers worldwide - and it is the preferred payment processor for many PTC/PTR programs. You will need to join as a Personal Pro member and the first time you request a transfer of money received to your bank account, as a security measure you’ll be asked to go through a simple verification process which is explained in detail on their website.  It’s free to join, very reliable and dead simple to set up.
  • The best way to use this guide is to follow the steps outlined in the order they have been laid out. Although you will need to access certain web links included throughout the guide, I would recommend you also print out this page before you start. Some of the instructions are easier to follow from a printed copy.
  • Throughout the whole of this guide you will be shown how to use what is known as tabbed browsing. What this means is that instead of just having one window open at any one time, you can have up to 10 windows open. Because you have the ability to move very swiftly from one window to another you will without exaggeration save hours of hard work each day. If you’re not used to working with more than one window at a time it can take a little while to adjust to your new working area, but once you are familiar with it, you will never go back to using non-tabbed browsing again! It is possible to use tabs within Internet Explorer but I’ve found the process to be much easier using Mozilla Firefox. It’s free to install, safe and reliable and you can download it quickly from this link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ The instructions provided in this guide assume you are using the Firefox browser.
  • Register for two Google Mail accounts. One of the e mail addresses will be used as your “list” e mail address when you start joining the safelists and will be bombarded with thousands of e mails daily. The second address will be provided as your “contact” address - in other words the address which receives far fewer and more personal messages only. This is the address you need to use when you start to register with all the various different programs.
  • Make sure you have some reliable anti virus/spyware software installed before you start using the Paid to… programs. I can highly recommend using (the award winning) PC Tools Spyware Doctor, which protects your PC from all known threats using one program. It’s updated on a daily basis and you can purchase one license which can then be used on multiple PCs.

What are Paid to Click/Paid to Read (PTC/PTR) Programs?

The principle behind PTC and PTR programs is simple: A group of advertisers pay the program owners a fee to advertise and in return the site members (you!) are paid a nominal amount - usually between 0.005c and 0.01c - to view the advertisements. After you have signed up for a free account you simply log in and check for new adverts every day, then you click on each ad as it becomes available, view it for 30 seconds or so, and hey presto! The money you just earned is added to your account balance.

PTC/PTR - or free money programs as they are sometimes called - are an ideal option for anyone who doesn’t want to spend any more money to make money, and they particularly appeal to people who have already been burnt by so called “get rich quick” schemes in the past. They are very easy to promote because they are totally free to join, yet they offer the potential to build an attractive part time income for not a great deal of work.

 

Part 1 - Register With All Of The PTC/PTR Programs Available Within the Members Area of Your Chosen Downline Building Program

Using the Firefox browser, firstly you will need to log into your members area of which ever umbrella program you decided to join from the Paid to Click Programs page, then navigate to the page(s) containing details of all the different free money programs available. With Free Internet Money and PTC Advantage all of the PTC sites are listed on one page, but with Free Money Team and Marketing Pond, the available sites span several pages. Although it takes a little while to go through the registration process, try and join all of the programs listed if you can. Once you start to build your downline you will really start to reap the rewards of all your hard work at this stage.

Registering with each site is straight forward and pretty much follows the same pattern every time. From the home page you will need to click on a button generally labeled “Register” or “Join”. Once you have done this you will then need to provide some personal details and click a button to confirm registration. You are  usually sent an e mail instantly with a verification link in it that you also need to click before your account becomes active, followed by a second e mail welcoming you to the program and confirming your details. This e mail usually includes a direct link to the log in page and confirmation of your user name and password.  Make sure you use your contact e mail address when registering.

Prior to joining all of the programs it’s a good idea to create a table similar to the one below, then copy and paste the relevant details into the table as you join each program. This will prove useful to you at a later stage and is also a good back up if ever you lose data.

Program Name

User Name

Password

Referral URL

Log in URL

 

 

 

 

 

Inserting Your User IDs In The Members Area Of Your Chosen Downline Building Program

After you have joined each program, you must also remember to return to your downline building program and insert your unique user name or ID in the empty box alongside of the corresponding program name. It’s really important you insert the correct details here, because by doing this you are ensuring that anyone you introduce to the program will be joining as one of your referrals. If you decide not to join a program and leave the box blank, it means the person who you joined under will receive residual cash from your referrals not you! If you are already a member of a particular program, you don’t need to join again - you can simply insert your existing user name and move on to the next program.

Creating Bookmarks

After you’ve joined the first site the next thing you need to do is set up a folder where you can bookmark the details of all the PTC/PTR programs you join. This makes life much easier when you start surfing each program on a daily basis, as you will  have instant access to all of the sites conveniently stored in one place.

To do this you need to follow the steps below:

1  Refer to your welcome e mail from the first program joined then click through to the log in page. Click on the Bookmarks menu, then Bookmark This Page from the drop down menu. The dialogue box below (left) should appear.

PTC Guide Pic 102

You now need to click the downward pointing  arrow shown in yellow and the dialogue box to the right will appear.

PTC Guide Pic 202

2  Now click on the New Folder button and you will see a new empty folder with a text box alongside of it ready for you to type into. Key the letters PTC in this box then click on Done. Your first PTC program log in page will have been saved in your new  folder. To check this you simply click on the Bookmarks menu and look down to the bottom of the drop down menu where you will see your new PTC folder listed. Hold your mouse over the folder name and you should see the name of your first bookmarked page PTC Guide Pic 3show.

3  Now you need to go back to your “umbrella” program and join the second PTC program available to you. Once you have received your welcome e mail, click through to the log in page, then click on the Bookmarks menu once again.

By default the Folder will have reverted back to show Bookmarks Menu (alongside of the word Folder:) as in the image above (left). This time all you have to do is click on the small downwards pointing arrow immediately to the right of the words Bookmark Menu and you will see a drop down menu like the one to the right.

4  Select PTC then click Done. Your second page will now be saved in the PTC folder also. You will need to repeat steps 3 and 4 for all of the programs you join.

How to use Tabbed Browsing

Now you’ve joined all the sites available to you within your umbrella program, let’s start the ball rolling and start earning some cash! As I mentioned earlier this process will be much quicker if you use tabbed browsing and have more than one program open at the same time. Some people manage to comfortably navigate between 10 different screens at a time, but personally I find it easier working with no more than 6. You will know what works best for you once you’ve got to grips with the concept.

To use tabbed browsing you need to follow the steps below:

1  Go to your Bookmarks folder and hold your mouse over the PTC folder you just created.

2  Open your first program from the list which shows to the right of the folder name.

3  Now click on the File menu followed by New Tab. A new blank window will automatically open to the right.

4  Go back to your Bookmarks menu, scroll down to the PTC folder and this time click on the second program in the list.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 four more times, opening a different program each time.

To move between each program you click inside the individual tabs showing the program names (as  highlighted in yellow below). Have a little practice before  you start searching for ads to click on.

PTC Guide Pic 4

Now we’ll start having a look to see how many ads there are available for each of the six programs you have open.

Start by clicking the first tab you opened to the far left of the screen.

Make sure you have clicked the “log in” button using your chosen user name and password, then navigate to the page where the paid ads are located.

Each PTC/PTR program is worded slightly differently but all have a designated area where you can check to see what ads there are available to click for cash. You’ll find they all tend to offer varying amounts of paid ads each day - and some sites (like Hits4Pay and DealsnCash) might not have any available ads for you to view every day, but they will have ads for your referrals to click on. This is great news for you because it means you still get paid without doing anything! Once you’ve logged in you need to find where the paid ads are located - and they’re usually pretty easy to find. For example, in ClixSense, you need to visit the page called “Browse Ads”, in Neobux you will need to click on the “View Advertisements” link in the top right hand corner of the page and for Word Linx you have to log in and skip through two separate screens until you reach a page where the ads have been placed. The best thing to do is familiarize yourself with how it all works and take some time to explore each site.

Once you’ve found the paid ads within your first open program, click on the first one available. You’ll notice a timer starts counting down and if you close the window before it reaches 0 you won’t get paid. Whilst the counter is ticking away, move on to the second tab and navigate your way to the paid ads here too. Click another ad and start a second timer going. Then move to the third tab and follow the same process.

By the time you have worked your way through all six open windows, the first counter will have finished and you’ll be ready to click on the second sets of ads and start all over again.

It may seem complicated at first but believe me you will soon pick it up. Once you’re familiar with where to look for the paid ads within each site and you’re fully comfortable with using tabbed browsing the whole process should take you no more than 20 minutes each day.

You need to try and get into the habit of setting this time aside every day to log into all of the PTC/PTR programs you’ve joined - and click the available ads, as some of the programs will not pay you for your referrals activity unless you do this.                                                                        Back to index

 

Part 2 - Register With 15 Traffic Exchanges

As I mentioned at the start of this guide the key to success with PTC/PTR programs is entirely dependent on how many referrals you have in your downline. Because the programs are 100% free to join you’ll find they are pretty easy to promote using certain methods. One of the easiest and most effective ways is through Traffic Exchanges.

What is a Traffic Exchange?

The concept behind TEs is simple, ie: “You view my site and I’ll view yours”

After a very simple registration process, you log into your account and surf for credits for a set amount of time each day by looking at single web pages promoting a variety of different products and services. After viewing the site for between 6 and 20 seconds (depending on which TE you are using) you are usually asked to click on a symbol to verify you’ve viewed the page before being able to move on to the next. Once you’ve done this you are awarded credits, which can later be exchanged for guaranteed visits to your own site. Most sites offer bonuses providing you surf a set number of pages in any one session. The more you surf - the more bonuses you will get.

I’ve read many e books and articles which tell you that you need to join as many Traffic Exchanges as possible if you want to see any sort of results. However... I’m going to totally contradict this theory (and I’m speaking from experience) and tell you that where TEs are concerned the key word is quality not quantity. There are hundreds of exchanges out there but some of them are as good as useless and you could waste hours of your precious time surfing for virtually no return if you choose the wrong exchange and you don’t follow a few simple rules.

The first point you need to take into consideration is that most people surfing the exchanges are sellers not buyers, who are clicking furiously from one page to the next in order to earn credits. You will be completely wasting your time if you use an information loaded affiliate page to promote your product in any of the TEs. You have a 10 second window to grab the attention of your fellow exchange surfers, so it is really important that you use a short, sweet ”splash” page which they can’t fail to sit up and notice. You’re not trying to sell your product, you’re simply trying to tempt your visitor with your splash page - so make sure you have some mechanism in place to capture their name and e mail address so you can follow up at a later stage.

All of the downline building programs listed on the Paid to Click Programs page include their own predesigned splash pages, which you will be able to use as a member but it’s well worth considering creating your own splash page too. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a web site or any web design skills, because there are several free programs you can join which do all the hard work for you. One of these is Click Voyager This program is essentially a Traffic Exchange, but allows free members to design up to 3 unique splash pages simply by inputting their chosen text, font size, colors, images and URL in clear and simple form. Once you’ve done this you can view and edit your page until it looks the way you want it to. Another is Easy Splash Builder where you’ll find a video guide of how to create an effective splash page as well as examples of pages that have attracted a high click through rate using the same system. This is free to join also.

To see any sort of results you need to be looking at surfing at least 100 pages per session per exchange x 5. If you use the tabbed browsing facility in Firefox, described in Part One of this guide above, you can comfortably surf 5 TEs at a time, which roughly equates to 750 sites for one hour of surfing.

Which Traffic Exchanges should you join?

Your next task is to join 15 TEs and if you take a look at the How to Use Traffic Exchanges page of this site I’ve included reviews and links to the Traffic Exchanges I personally use on a regular basis - all of which deliver consistently good results and some of which work hand in hand to generate you additional bonuses. I’ve also placed the TEs in groups and given you specific instructions about how you can get the highest number of credits for your click. You can join all of the TEs directly from this page.

Most of the TEs offer generous incentives to anyone who refers somebody new to their program. You are usually awarded extra credits each time your referral surfs, meaning more site visits for you each week. This can also potentially save you hours of additional surfing time each week. If you’re interested in building a dowline in each exchange you join, a really excellent free program worth joining is Traffic Hoopla. Every week the site owner publishes lists of the top Traffic Exchanges as voted for by their users. You can join any of the TEs featured directly through the Traffic Hoopla site, add your unique user name for each list in your private members area, then anyone else you refer to Traffic Hoopla and who joins one of the TEs automatically becomes one of your referrals. It’s an impartial and really useful resource even if you don’t take advantage of the downline building aspect of the site.

Which ever method you choose for joining your 15 TEs you will need to refer back to the members area of your chosen downline building program to copy the URL of your unique splash page exactly as shown and paste it in the “websites” area of each TE joined. After you’ve inserted the URL, most TEs have a system for automatically checking your site before it “goes live”. You generally need to click on two verification links before visitors will be delivered to your site.

Once you’ve decided which TEs you’re going to join, you’ll need to bookmark all of the log in pages in a new folder called “TRAFFIC EXCHANGES”, as you did when you joined all of the PTC programs in part one of this guide. You may need to refer back to the instructions laid out in the “Creating Bookmarks” section above to help you set this up.

For reference, I would also advise you to create a simple table containing all the details relating to each Traffic Exchange you join, such as the program name, your user name and password etc.

How to surf for credits

Once you have bookmarked all of your Traffic Exchanges, open your first site from the list by clicking on the Bookmarks menu, scrolling down to your Traffic Exchanges folder then opening which ever site you would like to surf from the drop down list. When you first log in to the TEs you are sometimes shown a screen with a one time offer, but you can choose to skip this by scrolling down the page and clicking the relevant button or text.

Once you’re logged into the first TE, then you’ll then need to open another four windows by clicking File/New tab and opening a different program from the list each time.

Once you’re logged into the members area of each TE you will need to click a button which is usually called “start surfing” or something similar. As soon as you’ve done this, the first ad will appear and the counter will start timing down.

You need to ensure a constant flow of visitors are viewing your site through the Traffic Exchanges and to do this your target should be to surf at least 3,000 pages per week. We’ll look in more detail at how you can break this down in Part 4 of the guide.                                                               Back to index

Part 3 - Register With 20 Safelists

It’s an accepted fact amongst virtually all online marketers that e mail marketing is one of the most powerful methods there is of “getting your message out there”. You can e mail literally hundreds of thousands of people each week by using what are known as Safelists... and it won’t cost you a penny!

What is a Safelist?

In simple terms, a safelist is an e mail list made up of members who have given their permission to receive e mails from all of the other members in return for being able to send an e mail out to other members themselves. It is totally free to join a safelist, although you will find paid upgrade options available within each list offering a number of different benefits.

The size of each safelist varies. Some only have several hundred members, whereas others have thousands. Some allow you to send single messages only once a week, whereas others allow you to send several e mails every day.

Credit based safelists are without doubt the most effective. Whenever a member of a credit based list clicks on a web link in another member’s e mail ad, they are awarded credits after viewing the ad for 20 seconds or so.  The more credits they earn, the more people they can e mail. In addition to the thousands of regular e mail ads delivered every day, some members also pay to send out what are known as solo ads. These messages are delivered to the contact e mail addresses of each member and you earn more credits when you click on them.

Every person who joins a safelist agrees to receive ad messages from the rest of the list, so you can rest assured that any promotional material you send via the safelist will not be returned as spam. There are however certain rules you need to follow and some genres of site such as adult and gambling related are not accepted

Choosing which safelists to join

Much like the Traffic Exchanges, Safelists also offer generous incentives to those who introduce new members to their program. Traffic Hoopla not only publishes lists of the top Traffic Exchanges, but also has a page linking to the top 10 or 11 Safelists as voted for by their users. You can join each program directly from the members area.

I’ve also included a list of the most effective safelists which I use regularly along with reviews  on the E Mail Marketing page of this site.

You need to register with at least 20 sites, but first please remember which of your G mail addresses you are using as your list address and which is going to be your contact address.

You might also find it useful to create a simple table (similar to the one used when joining the PTC programs above) recording the names of all the programs joined, your user name, password and how often you can send mail to other members.

Once you’ve decided which Safelists you’re going to join, you’ll need to bookmark all of the log in pages in a new folder called “SAFELISTS”, as you did when you joined all of the PTC programs in part one of this guide. You may need to refer back to the instructions laid out in the “Creating Bookmarks” section above to help you set this up.

Creating Filters

Once you’ve registered with a number of safelists, you will almost immediately start receiving thousands of e mails in the inbox of your list e mail address. When you’re building up your credits in each safelist it will speed up the process immensely if you can just work your way down several lists of relevant e mails rather than fishing them out of one jumbled inbox and losing track of where you are. By creating e mail filters using Gmail, you are able to separate your e mails according to which safelist they are from.

To create filters you will need to follow the steps below:

1  Go to your inbox and click on an e mail from any one of the safelists (eg Traffic Pro List).

2  Click on the More actions tab then on Filter messages like these from the drop down menu.

PTC Guide Pic 504

The box below should appear:

PTC Guide Pic 602

3  Check the e mail address which has automatically been inserted in the From box corresponds with the safelist you are creating a filter for, then in the box labelled Has the words insert the word credits.

4  Now click on the Next step button

PTC Guide Pic 702

5  Check the box next to Skip the inbox

6  Check the box next to Apply the label then select New label from the drop down list.

PTC Guide Pic 8

7  Type in the name of the safelist you’re creating the filter for (eg Traffic Pro List) in the box that appears. Then click the Create filter button.

To the left of your screen you will see your new filter label has been created. When you want to earn credits for that particular safelist, all you need to do is click on the filter label and only credit based e mails relating to that safelist will appear.

You now need to follow the steps above for each of the Safelists you’ve joined.

Tips to help you create a successful e mail

  • The same rule applies to Safelists as it does for Traffic Exchanges in as much as the vast majority of users are quickly clicking from one ad to another, earning as many credits as they can, and not paying a great deal of attention to what you’re trying to say in your e mail. I’ve found it is much more effective to use a short, eye catching subject and keep text to the minimum. Using the word “Free” somewhere in the title usually works well. A word of warning though, try to avoid using all capital letters and too many *!@ type characters in your title or it will more than likely be delivered straight to your recipient’s spam folder!
  • Some Safelists allow you to personalize your e mails by adding the code [FIRST_NAME] where you would normally type the recipient’s name. If possible you should use this code in your subject line as well as in the body of your e mail. It’s a great way to make your e mails stand out from the crowd and catch the eye of individual members as they scan down their inbox.
  • Get inspiration from the ads you’re sent by other safelist users. If a particular subject line grabs your attention, the chances are it will grab other people’s too.
  • Most of the Safelists allow you to save several e mails so that all you have to do is click on which ever message you want when you’re ready to mail other members, rather than typing in the entire message again.
  • Splash pages work just as well in Safelists as they do in traffic exchanges! Try to avoid information loaded affiliate pages or at least offer your readers the chance to bookmark your page so they can return to it when they’ve got more time.
  • You can use your Safelist credits to post banners and text links as well as e mail ads. These are displayed randomly throughout each program - some at a much faster rate than others. If you only have limited credits to spare I recommend you prioritize posting text ads as they seem to attract a far higher click through rate than banners through the Safelists.

You will also need to decide how much time you are able to dedicate to your Safelist marketing each week. If, for example you only have 30 minutes a day, or an hour every other day to spare then a realistic goal would be to surf for credits and post to 20 Safelists twice a week. As each list offers varying amounts of credits, and some have a much larger membership base than others, you’ll need to work out how many e mails you need to click each day to earn enough points to be able to post to the 20 lists you’ve joined.

How to send an e mail through the Safelists

When sending e mails it is the one area where you will probably find it easier not to use tabbed browsing.

The process for sending an e mail through all of the Safelists is straightforward and is pretty much the same for each list. Firstly you will need to click on the Bookmarks menu then scroll down to your Safelists folder and open the first program from your drop down list.

Once you have logged into the members area, you simply click on a button labelled “Credit Mailer”. You will then be presented with another screen which allows you to key in your subject line, message and to specify how many members you wish to mail to.

Once you’ve sent the first mailing, simply follow the same procedure for the next Safelist in your folder and carry on until you’ve sent out a mailing through all of them.

To keep continuity, you need to try and send out mailings at least twice a week to members of all the safelists you have joined. Members don’t always read your message the second it lands in their inbox and you could find you have new referrals for several days after your e mail was sent.

Part 4 - Create A Weekly Action Plan - And Stick To It!

The information covered in parts 1-3 provides you with all you need to know to start working towards developing an income of between $500 and $1,000 per month using PTC programs. To summarize, you will need to:

  1. Devote around 20 minutes every day clicking all the available ads within every PTC/PTR program you have joined. Approx 2.5 hours per week
  2. View at least 3,000 websites per week through the 15 Traffic Exchanges you have joined. Approx 6 hours per week
  3. View sufficient e mails to earn credits to mail all members of all 20 safelists joined. Approx 2 hours per week
  4. Send e mails to all members of all 20 Safelists you have joined at least twice a week. Approx 1 hour per week

As you can see - the minimum amount of time you need to be prepared to spend  to see results is in the region of 12 hours per week. However only you know how much actual time you are prepared to give and on which days you have the most time to devote to your marketing activities.

It’s very important that you are consistent with your marketing activities but when you first start out it can be hard to stay focused. You might find it helpful to draft out a weekly action plan for yourself outlining which activities you plan to do on different days of the week and check off each task as you complete it.

Be sure to set yourself realistic targets and don’t expect instant success. If you follow the steps outlined in this guide you will almost certainly start to build a downline immediately, but it’s a gradual process and you need to be patient in the early stages. In some ways you can compare building your downline/increasing your earnings to a snowball rolling down a hill. To start off with the snowball is small, but as it rolls it gathers snow and grows and develops.

Once you have earned enough money, a really good tip is to consider using some of your earnings to advertise your downline building program to other members of the various PTC programs you’ve joined. Because the people viewing your ad will already be familiar with the concept behind using free money programs, they are an excellent target audience for any of the programs listed on the Paid to Click Programs page and they generally make active referrals too. To give you an example of costs, one of the most expensive PTC programs for advertising packages is Clix Sense, where you pay $12 for 1,000 clicks. However with my last two campaigns promoting Free Internet Money, I managed to sign up 50 new referrals out of every 1000 clicks, so as you can see, it really is money well spent.

Part 5 - Develop A System For Keeping In Touch With Your Referrals - And Encourage Them To Do The Same As You!

The key to success with PTC/PTR programs is entirely dependent on how many active referrals you have in your downline. And many of the programs you will be working with also pay you for your referral’s referrals - up to 5 levels deep.

If you want to stand any sort of chance of success with PTC/PTR programs your must be prepared to offer help, support and guidance to anyone who joins after you. Let them know you are working with them.

Once you start marketing your chosen program as outlined above, you will almost certainly start to attract new members into your downline quickly. With the exception of Free Internet Money, all of the downline building programs outlined on the Paid to Click Programs page will e mail you as soon as a new referral joins through one of your links. They also provide you with your referral’s name and e mail address. Once you receive notification, send your new referrals a personal e mail welcoming them to the program and offering them help and support. Tell them what’s working best for you... refer them to this guide if you like! Then make sure you follow up with them on a regular basis - encourage them to do the same as you.

Not all of your referrals will be in it for the long haul, but it’s a proven fact that those people who keep in touch with their referrals are more likely to keep their interest and develop a relationship with them.

Remember - your success is based on your referrals’ success, and their success is based on their downline’s success... It’s a team effort.
