A Good International Paid to Read emails site (PTR)

I was recently asked for a recommendation for a good international PTR that actually pays and doesn't cost anything to join...... and my friends also wanted to know, "Is it really important to have some referrals backing you up in any paid to site?"

Because so many of my international friends have been asking me pretty much the same thing, I wanted to share my response with you here, in case you were also curious about this subject.


This was my Resonse:
I find that having referrals for my various paid to programs can be very helpful. I looked through my programs for an international one to show you how getting referrals can really help when they're active. The one I found to best illustrate my point is e-mailpaysu. I will tell you first, that it does take time to build up to the various minimums for some programs. Having referrals can definately make it easier to reach them a little faster. I spent the first 3 years reading emails there with only 3 referrals before deciding it would be worth it to upgrade. This was one of the first sites that I bought the lifetime gold upgrade for, when another of my paid to sites paid me, and I have to say it was worth EVERY dime of the $15 (now $18) I paid for it! Even though I'm promoting it on my various free traffic exchanges now, it's nice to have them still giving me free referrals from their advertising too.

Now For the Example:
In E-mailpaysu, I signed up July 15 2001, the last stats I had before reaching my first payout in October of 2006 consisted of:

$11.19 from the paid to click the penny page
$8.23 in converted points (with 3121 pending)
$23.41 in paid emails
$10.00 signup bonus

My balance $52.83 (at the time) was helped greatly by my downline earnings. Looking at the paid to read emails, I only read 76 emails for $1.52 in about 5 years as the 2c emails are rare. However, I receive 1c for each email read by 2 levels of referrals. The rest of the paid email amount came from my 2 levels of referrals. My 1st level (direct refs) read 174 emails for $1.74. My second level (my refs refs) read 2015 emails for $20.15!

***I currently have 92 direct refs & 467 second level refs and earn 1 cent for each email read by all 559! I have already been paid $163.95, my most recent payment was November 2008 and my balance is currently over $15 at the time of this submission. (3/8/09)

My Payout Proofs

This is not a get rich overnight site, by any means, I've been a member for almost 7 years. Like I said, it takes time to build up, but I was only doing this site when I had some spare time after work or on the weekends. Quite often I would forget to do anything except the paid emails when I got them in my mailbox, even though their paid to click page only takes a few minutes each day. This is a site that lets you earn in a variety of ways so you can probably reach payout a lot faster than I did. It wasn't until after I received my first check, and now two paypal deposits that I felt comfortable in sharing it as a long term site that really does pay. I have to admit to being a much more active member there now too. I would definately recommend this site to everyone even as a free member because this one is definately worth waiting for since they DO PAY!

I would also like to pass along something else that's important to know. There isn't a "request payout" button there like with some of the newer paid to read sites. When you're ready to cashout (after reaching the minimum) just send an email request to Gerald Peters the webmaster. At that point he will usually ask you for your choice of payment option. I have received both a check and 2 paypal deposits already. It is also important to note that the first payout is at $50 for free members but the payouts after that are lowered to $15. If you decide to spend $18 for the lifetime gold upgrade, your downline will grow even if you don't know how to or don't want to promote your referral link.

Delays or Payouts?

If you're looking for an easy way to make some extra money online, you may have noticed that alot of paid to click sites have been experiencing delays on their payouts. Even some of the sites that originally offered fast payouts have been changing their terms recently and the delays just keep getting longer.

If you're tired of delays, and just want to get the payouts for your efforts, I highly recommend that you try out ClixSense. I've been a member of ClixSense since the end of February 2007 and have already been paid 16 times. ClixSense pays at the beginning of every month that you reach your selected minimum by the end of the previous month. (payout proofs)

In the last two months I haven't been as active as usual, due to my grandmothers declining health and eventual death, (the week after Hurricane Ike hit our coast). With the low $10 payout minimum at ClixSense, I still received a check for the last two months. While it wasn't as much as some of my previous checks, it was really nice to have some extra money in my mailbox when I got home.

Whether you're new to "get paid" sites or not, believe me when I tell you that this one is worth the effort. No Delays, just Payouts! If you're interested in finding out more about ClixSense and how I earned my upgrade, please click on the payout proof link above to visit my ClixSense page. Join me at ClixSense and I'll show you how to earn an upgrade with no out of pocket costs. I've even included links to my free traffic resources to help anyone that signs up under me get the tools they need to improve their success. By working together we can all make some extra money in our spare time.

About WordLinx

I really like WordLinx as a source of extra income. I joined the site in late 2006 and have just now requested a 5th payout for a total of $50.15 in extra cash so far! This site has been around since 2003, if you can believe that! A paid to click site that pays one cent per ad viewed, has actually been around for more than a few months, and has shown their dependability with timely paypal payouts. Let me tell you, that combination is pretty hard to find. Every time I have requested payout, I have received the money in my paypal account within 24 hours. WordLinx is definately worth checking more than a few times each day too. Just like ClixSense, the more often you check the site, the more ads you might find, even if it's only a few new ones each time. I took a look at my history of payouts with WordLinx and I'm pretty happy with averaging 3 payouts each year. Check out my screen shot and you can see that this time it took me just 3 months to reach the low $10 minimum.



I don't know about you, but when I get really close to reaching the minimum, I check the site a lot more often than normal. I was surprised to see so many ads today because, when I went to bed last night I still had about 10 cents before I would reach the minimum. Before I was done, I was 11 cents over. Not bad for one day!

I have a decent downline at WordLinx, but like ClixSense, WordLinx doesn't pay much for your downlines activity, but they do give you a small percentage (5%). Most of the $50 I have earned was from my own activity, but my 50 referrals have contributed almost $6 so it helps over time. Looking at my referral stats, my referrals have earned over $377 between them!

This is actually a good thing for advertisers because it keeps the prices low without jeopardizing the sites long term success and it's ability to pay it's members. This is one of the few paid to click sites that have a business model that actually works and as you'll see below, the prices are reasonable and provide the income to keep this site around for a long time.



If you'd like to start earning some extra cash with WordLinx, I hope you'll join my team by joining here. If you'd like to advertise your opportunity on WordLinx, please visit here. Your ad will be posted and available to our viewers as soon as you pay for the ad. I can tell you from experience that the conversion rate is very good.

Optimize your time at Financial Freedom Ads

I don't know if you noticed or not, but there are some PTC sites that will have extra ads available at different times of the day. None of them have actually posted when they do this until now. FinancialFreedomAds actually tells you when they add more ads. From what it says in the FAQ section, you can optimize your time and earnings there by visiting at the three times they have listed.

Quote:
How will I know when there are new web sites for me to visit?
Unlike many of the PTC web sites where you have no way of knowing when new ads are posted on the web site, we add new sites 3 times per day if there are any new ones to be added. The times we do this are @; 9:00 am, 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. All times are Central Standard Time. All you need to do is be on the site at those times and you will see the ads as they become available.

8/19/08 update
Apparently this has been changed and applies to only upgraded members. After posting the original message I noticed they now have a 48 hour period before the ads refresh for free members and have not yet found any extra ads available at the times mentioned. I have managed to get a few more referrals so it's helping.

Did you get two ClixSense stats emails today? (08/01/08)

Did any of you get more than one update email with your ClixSense stats? I did, and noticed a slight difference in my totals. When I logged in this morning, first site as always, I also noticed that my earnings had not been reset as I had become accustomed to over the last several months. This concerned me because I had more than my selected minimum and this amount had always been reset as of midnight on the first day of the new month. I have to admit I was a little nervous since the site had gone thru maintenance recently. I have been receiving checks from ClixSense every month since last November, but still get a big thrill out of seeing my stats updated to show my payout had been completed. I have always had a check in my hands by no later than the 10th of the month and was worried that this problem would cause a delay in the processing.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the support ticket I submitted, along with the replies and will also quote it here for those of you that don't want to click on the image link.
( http://apaidreader.googlepages.com/CSSupportTicket.jpg ) I have to tell you that the fast response and immediate actions taken when I reported a problem gives me even more confidence in this terrific site! I hope sharing this with you will help ease any concerns you might have had if you noticed the same things as I did.

01 Aug 2008 10:03 Hello support. Should I be concerned that last months totals haven't updated yet, even though I reached my selected minimum? I usually see this take place at midnight every month. I also received 2 stats notices last night, about an hour apart, and they each have different totals even though there were no ads and no new clicks during the time between.

I'm curious because this is the first time this has happened since I joined near the beginning of last year.

A concerned member,

Hello, Lynn. Thank you for letting us know. The recent site maintenance involved a server upgrade and the script that sends the stats email was not deactivated on the old server. You received two emails with different stats since it was sent from both machines. The old server has now been deactivated and you will no longer receive multiple stats emails. We appreciate your business and, as always, if you have any questions or need assistance don't hesitate to contact us.

01 Aug 2008 10:43 Hi Lance, Thanks so much for the reply. I'm glad to know I helped by notifying you of the two emails so you could deactivate the old server.

I am actually more concerned with the earnings from last month not being moved to a "pending" status as it always has before. Is this something that has been changed too? Will it be changing After the check has been processed? ClixSense has been the MOST reliable site I've ever participated in and it just concerns me when I don't see the earnings moved like I've come to expect over the last several months, though I do understand sometimes things have to be changed.

Sincerely,
Lynn aka paidreader

Checks are being processed as normal and will be printed and mailed by the 10th of this month. The script that begins the process was delayed slightly by the move but your check information should now show in your account.

ps. I was very impressed to see that within 1 1/2 hours of reporting a problem, my stats were updated to pending status and within less than 3 hours of reporting the problem, my stats page had been updated to show my check has already been cut!

If you'd like to see my updated stats and payout proofs, please visit my new ClixSense webpage. This is also where I give my referrals the free tools to build their downline.

5 easy steps to get free referrals for Your site

If you want to get some free referrals for your site, you have to advertise it. People can't signup under you if you don't provide them with a link, right? No advertising budget? No problem, this tool is free! Don't want to click for traffic, No problem. No surfing required. Why not try this out and benefit from all the traffic google receives by doing something so simple, you'll be surprised at how well it works?

Let me show you the most basic tool in my collection of traffic generators. This is so basic, anyone can do it. If you can send a bookmark to your desktop or save a webpage to your favorites, this tool will be available to you whenever you want to use it. If you know how to copy and paste, this can work for you. If you are consistantly using this resource, everytime you join a new program, do a blog entry, or build a webpage, you will start seeing signups. It won't happen overnight, but I assure you, you'll have better results than if you do nothing at all!


Keep in mind that everyday there are new people getting interested in "making money on the internet". No need to limit yourself to listing only brand new sites! If you've been struggling to get signups for a site(s) that you've been with for a while, try listing some of them too!

1) Decide on the site you want referrals for
2) Collect your referral information - ref link
3) Add your URL to Google (free)
( http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl )
4) Add a brief description of the site you're submitting
5) enter the turing code and hit enter

That's it! You're done! If you have more than one site, it's just a simple matter of repeating the process for each one.

ps. Just for fun, do a google search for your username in the site you added to see if you're listed. Check back later to see if your site was accepted. The more sites you add to google, the more results you'll find when you search your username again later. (it could take a few weeks)

And they say you can't earn much with PTC

I know alot of people may not like PTC as a way to make extra money, but I do. I find it a very enjoyable and educational experience and suits my goals of making some extra cash in my spare time. I will admit, it's not the fastest way to earn online, but considering I only spend a few hours a day clicking at my chosen selection of sites, the extra money isn't bad.

Because of recent issues with sites experiencing database losses, I have had to find a way to keep better track of my earnings. I had already been keeping screenshots as I went since I am constantly updating my stats and received payouts on my payout proofs page. Hopefully, this practice will serve me well as we wait on the latest site, FoxCash, to make the restorations manually.

Anyway, because I had this issue in mind, I took the time to upload the majority of my screenshots to my account at Photobucket the other day (7/11/08). I've finished all the labels now and set up a slideshow to show you some of the sites I'm participating in. You should notice that in some sites I have 0 referrals but I'm still able to increase my balances each day. I've had better success recruiting members for my downline after receiving at least one payout, so these, of course are building slower than some of the others.

Because they limited me on how many screenshots I could add to the slideshow, I decided to give you a good mixture on statuses. Some sites have very few refs, but their clicks can really help boost your earnings if they continue to be active. I've got a decent amount of refs (10-30) for a handful of sites and wanted you to see how much faster it goes with a little help. Then there are a few that I have been participating in for longer and I've built a considerable downline for.

Anyway, the point I want to get across today is that if you're active and refer others, you can earn a considerable amount more than when you click alone. Take some time to promote the ones you are doing well in and over time, the signups should start. Keep in mind, getting refs requires as much patience and diligence as the clicking does, but it can really help build up a considerable amount, given enough time.

Setting this up took longer than I expected, so I think I'm going to do updates like this once a month and keep the slideshows in different folders at PhotoBucket so you can actually see the difference a month can make. I hope this provides encouragement for those of you pursuing PTC as an extra money opportunity and helps to show you how it really can add up.

Happy Clicking!
