Getting Started With Your PTC

The first stage in this process is obviously to sign up with your PTC site. As I have already discussed in a previous post, the trusted PTC sites are:

1)      Neobux.com

2)      Probux.com

3)      Zapbux.com

<< Important Note: At the initial phase, your earnings will be extremely low and dismal. The key is patience and diligence. Most users do not have the patience to make it to the real earning potentials >>

 There are three ways to earn with PTC sites:

1)      Through personal effort and work – This would be by way of viewing ads, completing mini-jobs and offers.

2)      Commissions earned through Rented Referrals

3)      Commissions earned through Direct Referralls

 In the previous post, I have systematically explained that there is a decent amount of money to be earned through PTC sites. However, it is not a huge amount. Don’t expect to be earning in the thousands.

On the PTC sites, you can view advertisements. This is the core functionality of these sites, and this is where you will first start off to earn your first few cents. You can expect to earn about 4 to 7 cents per day by viewing ads.

Most PTC sites also allow you to complete mini-jobs, through CrowdFlower, and surveys. By completing these tasks, you will be able to supplement your earnings, and depending on availability of mini jobs, you can earn up to even 20 cents a day.


The First Objective

Your primary objective is to be able to earn 60 cents. Why 60 cents? Well because that is the minimum amount you need to rent your first referral pack. Remember, your real earnings lie in your referrals. So, that is first goal. With 60 cents, you can purchase 3 referrals

The PTC sites impose a 15 day probation period to ensure that the users are active and diligent. They also impose a minimum ad viewing requirement, set at 100 for Neobux and 20 for Probux. In this period you will not be entitled to have Direct Referrals nor upgrade to the Golden Pack.

Another important note, is that with Probux, you have to wait 1 week before you can even rent referrals. So keep that in mind.

Once you have rented your referrals, then turn ‘Autopay’ on. What this feature does is that it automatically extends your referral for another day, if they have viewed advertisements that day. With ‘Autopay’ on, you get a discount on renewal. With ‘Autopay’ on, the cost for extending your referral for a day is $0.005 (or 1 click). So, for example, if your referral views 4 Ads, then you will earn for 3 ads ($0.015) and your referral will be extended for another day. But, it is necessary to note that if your referral does not click, he will not be extended, and furthermore, if your referral’s validity falls below 20 days, then they will not be renewed on a daily basis. So you will have to manually renew them ($0.1 for 15 days, $0.2 for 30 days, and so on).

Once you have rented your first referrals, it is essential that you are active everyday. To earn the commission from your referrals, you need to view 4 Orange [a.k.a – Fixed or Guaranteed] advertisements. You don’t have to view any other advertisements, but viewing these ones are essential to earn from your referrals.

 


Recycling

You will find that certain referrals are not active or have a very low click rate. As I had mentioned in the previous post, it is not uncommon to be assigned bots, who do not click, or rarely click. This is the reason why some people denote Neobux as a scam {This is issue is not as common in Probux or Zapbux. The average click rate is higher on these PTC sites, but, the issue is still prevalent}. It is just the luck of the draw.

I recommend that if you are assigned such referrals, then recycle these referrals. Recycling basically means that swapping a rented referral for a different one. However, recycling is not free. It is will cost you $ 0.07 to recycle a referral. The PTC sites automatically recycle a referral after 14 days of inactivity, but I do not recommend that you wait for it, because it will cause a greater loss than recycling from the get go. I give a referral about 3 days of inactivity before recycling them. My rationale to this is that I devote a generous 48 hours for them to make a click in case they are in different time zones, or had just clicked before I rented them. On top of that, I had an extra day, just in case they forgot to come back and click or were busy, etc. But, I don’t wait longer than 3 days. Every day of inactivity is a loss for me.

Break Even Point (BEP)

Apart from inactive referrals, you need to determine your Break Even Point, that is the minimum number of ads that your referral has to view in order to cover the cost of renting the referral.

Simply put, at the beginning stage (upto 250 rented referrals), the BEP average of a referral is 1.333 Clicks.

The calculation is as follows:

Determine The Cost In Clicks = (Cost of Renting Referrals / Amount Earned Per Click)

                $0.20 / $0.005 = 40 Clicks

This is the cost of renting a referral for a month, expressed in clicks. So, your referral has to view 40 ads, in order to cover the cost of renting him.

Thus, to calculate the average:   40 Clicks / 30 Days = 1.33 Clicks Per Day

Hence, your referral has to maintain an average greater than 1.33 Clicks in order for him to be an asset to you and put you in the profit zone. Otherwise, the referral will be a liability and only cause you loss.

Thus, you need to keep this calculation in mind, when thinking about recycling referrals.

 


Phase 2: Building Rented Referrals

Your next goal should to be acquire 300 referrals, which is the maximum that you can obtain on a standard membership

Building referrals will take time, especially if you are building ground up. But, over the months, you will be able to reach this phase and finally achieve maximum. Slowly you will be able to rent larger volumes of referrals at a time.

You can only rent referrals once in a 7 day period, regardless of how many you rent. You can rent as little as 3 referrals and go all the way up to 100 referrals in one go.

Let me reiterate: Patience is the key. Earnings will be marginal in the beginning, but don’t give up. The best fruit is always at the top of the tree.

Phase 3: Going Gold

Once you have capped your referrals in the standard membership, you have to go for gold. Build up $90 in your account so that you can purchase the Gold Membership. Like I said, nothing is free, and you need to invest to earn the big bucks. The Silver Lining to this, is that you don’t need to actually put in your own money. You can build up solely through your commissions from your referrals.

In the Gold Membership, your earnings from referrals will be doubled. This is so, because the commission rate for the ads that your referrals view is also doubled. Furthermore, your renting cap is increased from 300 referrals to 2000 referrals. This is where the real money is.

Phase 4: Capping Gold

At this stage, you probably don’t even need this guide anymore, but let me still say it. Keep on renting referrals until you cap off at 2000. If you have read my previous post, then you will see that you maximize your earning at this point.

From here on, you can either save up a bit and purchase the Ultimate pack, withdraw your money enjoy a comfortable, or basically, do whatever you want.

You should also start to build up some direct referrals, who will supplement your earnings.

 


Things To Remember & Some Useful Tips

1)      View your orange (fixed or guaranteed) ads daily. If you don’t, you won’t earn commissions from your referrals

2)      Boost your earnings by completing the adPrize, mini jobs, zapGrid and offers.

3)      At any cost, do not violate the Terms of Service – An important one being that ONE ACCOUNT per IP address (So avoid using PTC sites at public places such as office or school)

4)      If you are experiencing any issues or facing any problems, post on the forums. The community is quite strong. Also, you have signed up under my referral, then you can send me your query or doubt directly to me, and I will make sure that is sorted out.

5)      If you feel that your road to success is slow, then think about investing a few dollars in, to give it a boost. Also, check out my other post to simultaneously earn more significant money to funnel back into your PTC

Realistic Earning Potentials With PTC Sites: Neobux, Probux & Zapbux

I decided to write this guide to give a straight view of how much you can actually earn with PTC sites, their potential and what you should expect.

There are a lot of guides floating around the net which promises that you can earning upwards of 60, 80 dollars a day through PTC. Also, they have narrated each step that you should follow to achieve this target.

I will be outright and say that if you believe these kind of strategies, then your head is up in the clouds. Pull yourself back to the ground and read this article to get a realistic idea as to how much you can realistically earn with a PTC.


Problems with PTC Sites

Many people claim that PTC sites are scams, even including sites such as Neobux. Firstly you have to understand that there are tons of PTC sites that are indeed scams, and do not pay out. But, there is also another reason why some people classify Neobux as a scam. This is through their Rented Referrals. Specifically, it is the fact that the rented referrals do not click.

It is one of the biggest problems that you will face.  The referrals assigned to you do not click. Let’s go on and term these referrals as bots. They will just occupy the space and give no clicks, or may give you a few clicks (4) before they die on you. I would say that approximately 20-30% of the referrals are bots, if you are renting in bulk (50+). There is nothing that you can do about it. I generally wait 3 days before recycling them. My reasoning for this is that I allot a generous 45 hours to get some clicks in, for situations such as time zones, time between the clicks, etc. I then add an extra day just in case that they forgot to check back into their PTC site.

Another problem that you may face is that even a recycle does not ensure that you get a good referral. there is a considerable chance that you will be allotted another bot.

<  However, if you recycle referrals one by one, it does decrease the chances of you being allotted a bot. >

I would advise you not to wait 2 weeks for a free recycles, as the potential loss is greater. It is always better to recycle often to try to get good referrals. Don’t be lethargic; put some money and effort to get a good referral. It is better than waiting so long for a potential bot, and gives you the long term benefit of having a good referral.

 


A Realistic Click Average

Realistically speaking, I would give the overall average clicks for your referrals 2 clicks per day per referral.  Initially, you should not expect more than that. In the long term, once you have laid a strong foundation of referrals, you may think of recycling them to give you a higher average.

So, if you have rented 100 referrals, you can expect a total of 200 clicks per day [100 Referrals X 2 Clicks per Referral].

Calculating The Costs

Your rented referrals aren’t free. You have to pay for their maintenance and upkeep. The first thing that you should do is turn on Autopay. Basically, this feature allows you to pay your referrals automatically on a daily basis.

With Autopay turned on, cost per day to maintain your referral is $0.005 (1 Click). Since we are working with an average of 2 Clicks per referral that means that they will be idle for 15 days in the month [or active for 15 days].

Working with the average of 2 clicks, expect to pay an additional $0.1 per ref per month to maintain them

So, that means 0.005 X15 + 0.1 = $ 0.175 per ref per month.

That’s the cost for a single ref per month

If you have a normal account and 300 refs, then per month you will be paying $0.175 X 300 = $52.5 to maintain these referrals.

Calculating Your Earnings & Profit

Now let’s find your potential earnings.

Since we are working with an average of 2 clicks per day, then 4 Clicks X $0.005 X 15 days = $0.3

Thus referral will earn you 30 cents per month, at an average of 2 clicks.

So, your profit from each referral is $0.3 (Earning) – $0.175 (Cost) = 12.5 cents per referral per month. So for 300 referrals you will earn a profit of 37.5 per month ($0.125 X 300 = $37.5).

So, as a Standard user, you can expect to earn about 35-40 dollars per month at capacity (300) referrals.

 


The Golden Membership

There is that time old saying, ‘you need to spend money to make money’. This is no exception. To earn real money, you need to invest money. Upgrading to the Gold Membership will double your earning potential from each referral as well as increase the limit of renting referrals from 300 to 2000 referrals. PTC sites also claim that they assign better referrals who have a higher click average to Golden Members.

Now, let’s analyze the condition for Golden Members:

Like I have already said, this is where you would ideally like to be situated. A standard member’s earnings are peanuts compared to the dollar when compared to the gold membership. Once again, all good things don’t come free. A gold membership will cost you a hefty $90 per year. Your biggest challenge will be earning the $90 to purchase the membership.

Basically, under the gold membership, the amount of money from your referrals is doubled. Instead of earning $0.005 per click, you will receive a nice whole penny ($0.001) per click. Which is great. The other feature of the gold membership is that your referral limit is extended to 2000 refs. The below table will show you the breakdown of rates.

$0.01

{An Ultimate membership comes after your Gold Membership. It adds a few more features, such as increasing your referral limit to 4000, amongst others, but costs an exorbitant $895. So, don’t worry about this for now.}

At this point, I must say that you should witness a slight increase (depends) in the average click rate. This is because the number of bots that assigned decreases, and there is a greater probability of being assigned a better referral. But, this varies quite a bit and I suggest that you not to expect too much.

However, I am going to continue using the average click rate of 2 clicks per referral.

So let us head back to our calculations.

Calculating The Costs

With Autopay turned on, cost per day to maintain your referral is $0.005 (1 Click). Since we are working with an average of 2 Clicks per referral that means that they will be idle for 15 days in the month [or active for 15 days].

Working with the average of 2 clicks, expect to pay an additional $0.1 per ref per month to maintain them

So, that means 0.005 X15 + 0.1 = $ 0.175 per ref per month.

That’s the cost for a single ref per month

Now, if you noticed, you will see that the cost of the referral has not changed.

Calculating The Earnings & Profits

Since we are working with an average of 2 clicks per day, then 4 Clicks X $0.1 X 15 days = $0.6

Thus referral will earn you 60 cents per month, at an average of 2 clicks.

So, your profit from each referral is $0.6 (Earning) – $0.175 (Cost) = 42.5 cents per referral per month.

Now, if you reach the peak of a gold pack, with 2000 referrals, you will earn a grand profit of $ 0.425 X 2000 = $850 per month. Hence, you can expect 800-900 dollars per month, which is roughly 30 dollars per day.

Now, this is quite a decent amount of money considering how little effort you have to put in. Furthermore, this is a relatively accurate figure that you can go by.

 


Some Advise

You will only be able to rent referrals once in a 7 day period, and a maximum of 100 referrals at a time. Thus, to reach 2000 referrals, the minimum amount of time you need is 5 months. The key to earning with PTC sites is patience. Most users flake out in the early stages and thus are not able to reach the fruit which is metaphorically at the top of the tree. Do not withdraw your money until you earn more than $20 a week [the amount you need to rent referrals for the next week]. But I also suggest that you keep some extra money as reserve to recycle your referrals.

Another piece of advice is that you to keep working at it. Don’t stop clicking for even a single day, because once you cultivate such a habit, you are bound to fail. The earnings are dismal in the first few months, but, you will see an exponential rise in your earnings, if you keep working at it.

I personally recommend only 3 Bux sites at this moment. There are quite a few others that appear to be legitimate, and are currently paying out, but for me, it is too early to determine their status.

I consider these sites to be in the elite tier, who have stood the test of time, and I would guarantee that these sites pay out.

Reading through this blog, you might have already noticed that these sites have already been mentioned:

1 – Neobux

2 – Probux

3 – Zapbux

Neobux, is the oldest bux site that there is. it was founded in 2007 and now it is onto its 7th year, and has been successfully paying out. There are thousands of payment proofs on the internet, and its forums. To add on, they have a strong community and numerous success stories.

Probux, is comparatively a new site. It has been operational since 2012, and is still going strong. Comparatively, it has a higher earning potential than Neobux, the reasons for which I will explain in the next article. There are plenty of payment proofs and success stories around the internet. What I also find is that the Admins are active and are constantly trying to improve their site, by way of their interface, ads, etc.

Zapbux, is the newest site in this list. They have been operational for 6 months now. But, why I find this site to be terrific is because of the excellent support that they offer, combined with strong efforts to improve upon their sites. There are over a thousand payment proofs posted on their website and the community is well integrated. In addition, this site offers the best earning potential compared to all three.

My recommendation is that you join all 3 sites. 


« – Important Advice – »

Do not join using the same username and password for all these sites. Although there is no policy against it, I strongly would recommend that you use different usernames and password combinations, as a safeguard and securing yourself in any possible policy changes in the future.

I have come across some reports suggesting that certain bux sites hijack others. I cannot determine whether this is true or not, but as a precaution, I would still advice you to be on your guard.

The most common form of PTC sites are in form of ‘bux’. Simply put, their domain names end with ‘bux’

Examples are: Neobux, Probux, Zapbux.

Neobux is one of the oldest PTC sites, and most of the PTC sites that were developed after Neobux decided to retain the ‘bux’, to denote a brand name, and inspire confidence in users to sign up with them.

«  Beware of Bux Sites  »

The danger with PTC sites are that there is a constant demand for them from users. These type of sites are easy to set up and there are people willing to sign up with them. While most PTC sites are initially legitimate ventures, they soon run out of capital to pay the users for their time and effort, and end up becoming scams.

Thousands of PTC sites are set up each year, but only a handful tend to make it past the 6 month mark. There are hundreds of thousands of people who have been scammed through these type of PTC sites. On the face value, the site would appear to be legitimate; you would be able to click on ads, accumulate money, but when the time comes for payment, these sites will flake out on it, leaving the user having spent hours of his time with nothing to show for it. Alternatively, they may just block your account and forfeit your earning due to some sort of ‘policy violation’.

This is the main reason why PTC sites have such a bad reputation in the online earning community. That and the horrible earning rates offered by these PTC sites. BUT, that is not how to make real money on PTC sites, as I will show you in the coming article.

But in the next article, I will enlist my trusted PTC sites, from which I am earning quite well from, and the reasons why I have chosen these sites.
