Today, numerous folks who are looking to get an online business going are starting out with PTCs -- Pay to Click sites. I, myself, began just that. But before I continue, in the event that you have no idea how these websites work, let me explain. With a pay to click (PTC) web site, you get remunerated just to view 30-second (or so) advertisements. When you've seen the advert you are compensated the small amount of cash into your account balance and you have to then collect it into a certain amount of money, such as $5, before you can cash it out. Likewise, almost all of these web sites have a bit more to them, like special options given only to members, and referral rewards.
You may round up your own referrals, or you buy them; either way you can expect to gain about 50% of whatever they earn by viewing advertisements themselves. Hence, if you get one cent from watching an advertisement, you'll get half a penny from PTC members you referred. It doesn't seems like a lot of money but it can add up if you manage to get thousands of referrals. There are also special membership options that let you obtain more referrals, more advertisements and more money for every last click (often for both your own clicks and your referrals' clicks). These extra membership features could be pricey, but many will allow you to earn more cash over time.
Now let's suppose you sign up to a PTC program and it has four advertisements. You then obtain a thousand folks to register using your referral link. Each of your own clicks gets you a penny and so does every one of your referrals' clicks. That's $40, if you and all your referrals watch all four ads. You would concur, that doesn't look shabby. Not too shabby for just a few minutes of you time, does it?
But wait! It just so happens that nearly all PTC web sites are frauds. Basically, they are merely pyramid schemes. Why "pyramid"? It's because if you aren't one of the first few people to get into the pyramid scheme, your chances of truly pulling in any money at all are extremely low, approaching zero. Thus, if 10 people put in $10 each, that's a total of one hundred dollars. The guy on top could give back $15 to 4 members and keep the rest himself, leaving virtually all of the others unpaid. How they can get away with this is by enticing us to join as members and to purchase referrals (which, by the way, are typically bots, not real people), then paying us cash that other folks invest to pay for their own membership and later referrals. Because so many referrals may simply be bots, and thus non-paying, the cash from watching ads isn't going to cover all the pay-outs. Inescapably, they run out of potential members and people stop joining, leaving folks who weren't among the first to join losing money. If you started the plan, or were fortunate enough to get in right near the top, you can possibly show some profit, but is it worth the risk? Not at all.
My advice is that you avoid Pay-to-Click services like the plague. You might generate a minimal amount of money or not, based on how high and close to the head schemer you are, but he's a scammer and everybody else you referred is losing money. It's simply not a pleasant situation.
