There are several methods that you could use to increase your earnings from PTC websites:
- Increase the amount of your referrals:
Refer the websites to people you know. Besides, it is a good opportunity for them to earn some extra cash as well.
Promote actively. Post your referral link on your website, blog, your emails or in forums that you take part to. The more exposure you have, the more people you can expect to join as your referrals, therefore increasing the amount you earn. If you don't have a website/blog, you can create one, as I did.
Referral exchange. Offer to join a PTC website that you are not registered to under someone for him registering under you to a website of your preference. You can find people interested at respective forums, like The PTC Talk Forum. Another way, is joining a Group (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN group) that is focused on what you are promoting.
Join a referral program. Instead of searching for referrals at forums, there are also websites/programs that get closer people interested in referral exchange, some of which do the process automatically. I am using these 2: Getref.com and Simplerefs.com.
- If you have some cash to spend, you could as well do one of he following:
Upgrade your membership. Most Paid to click websites offer premium/upgraded memberships that pay you more for each click that both you and your referrals make.
Buy/rent referrals: This is of course a gamble. You might end up wasting money on inactive referrals. Some websites may give you the opportunity to "recycle" or replace the inactive referrals but this is not done for free.You need to be careful and strict on your budget!
I don't want to pay for an upgrade. Any other way that I could earn more with a free account?
Of course! You can always register with free accounts to more than 1 PTC websites. In the list of PTCs, I have made a TOP 5 of such websites that you could register do and make a lot more money than the above example, even on a free account.
Supposing that you register on all the TOP 5 websites, you would earn 5 times the earnings of the previous example, i.e. $315 per month staying on a free account all the time!
Of course, you may consider about your time being limited and not being able to register to more than one PTCs. But it isn't really a big difference if you open each website on a different window of your browser.
For example:
a. You register to 1 PTC website: 30 seconds x 10 clicks daily = 300 seconds (5 minutes) daily.
b. You register to 5 PTC websites:
You open each website on a different browser window and each link on different tabs.
You click a link on the first window and move to the next window during the 30 seconds of the first website loading.
You do the same thing on the second window, then proceed to the third till you have reached the fifth.
You then go back to the first window, click the second link and then proceed to tbe other windows as before.
Thus, it is more or less the same time as if you have only 1 website open, as you go to the other windows instead of waiting for the 30 seconds for the first one to load.
Though, let's add another 10 seconds per add for the time it will take you to move around the windows. Overall, it will be: 40 seconds x 10 clicks daily = 400 seconds (6.7 minutes) daily.
So, it is only 1.7 minutes more daily but a lot more earnings in total!
How to avoid getting scammed
To be honest, there are too many scam PTC websites. But there are some good ones as well that would be worth registering to. To make sure that you will not get scammed, you should do the following:
Search for frequently updated lists of reliable, paying sites and scam sites, like the ones I have on my website.
Read the PTC website forums first. Check especially the "payment proof" sections. If there are no new payment proofs and people complaining about delayed payments, better avoid those websites. Also, check if the Administrator is active on the forum as well, supporting and replying to membrs' questions.
Check thetype of advertisements. Note that they do not have any products to sell other than the advertisements that they have you to click. So, if they reside in having you click heir own advertisements you should be careful.
Read the TOS (Terms of Service), especially on the "getting paid" part.
Try to find your own referrals instead ofbuying/rentiong bots. It is free anyway.

As further clarification for those of you who haven't registered to any PTC websites yet, I have made this illustrative movie on YouTube:
