What is a PTC program?

PTC stands for paid to click, and it is exactly what it sounds like. You get paid to click advertisements. The amount of money you earn for your clicks depends on the site and the amount of time you have to view. Generally the more time you have to view an advertisement the more you get paid. Be careful when dealing with these programs though, many of them out there are scams, so it’s always best to do some research about them before you start clicking. If it sound too good to be true, that’s usually because it is.

The real earnings are not from clicking the ads yourself though, if you want to make some serious cash, then you will need to refer people to the site with your referral links. Many of the site’s pay for each unique visitor you send them, plus the possibility of getting a referral. When your referrals click on ads, you earn a bit of the cash they do everyday. So if you managed to get 500 referrals, you would be making some serious cash!
