How to Make the BIG BUCKS with PTR

What Is PTR?
PTR stands for Paid to Read. There are a number of programs (hundreds in fact) that will pay you to receive their emails and for you to perform a valid search on each and every email. Noone can FORCE you to do a valid search, it is entirely voluntary, however valid searches are how the programs that you are joined to generate their revenue from advertisers, so think about it. If you don't search, they don't get paid...so you don't get paid.
The only sites I will list here are sites that I have had experience with. Good or Bad. Keep in mind that paying sites sometimes stop for whatever reason, and that new sites come along so often that its hard to keep up.

How to do a Valid Search:
1. Click a search term, word or phrase on the portal or parking page and let the results page fully load.Alternatively you can enter your own search term in the box provided.2. Click on one of the results that come up from your search and wait for that page to fully load.
That is what is known as a "valid search"

To Get Started
I always reccommend that you keep a record of the programs you are joined to, include all your account information, when you joined, their minimum payout, their downline levels, etc. Keep track of how much you have earnt and when they have paid you.
Join at least 5 programs to start with, see how you go with those (remember the more programs you join, the more emails you get sent and the more work you have to put in)... If after a month you are doing well, add another 5. Replace any programs you feel aren't earning you enough...

Referrals
You do NOT need referrals to get paid, however any referrals that you can sign up under you will help to contribut towarsd your earnings and help you to reach payout faster.

Earnings
Expect to earn anywhere from $10 to $400 a month doing ptr. It is limited by the number of programs you belong to. The effort that you put in, and the number of people you have under you.

Payment
Payments are made via paypal or e-gold. Most programs only accept paypal so if you don't already have an account register for one here https://www.paypal.com/au/mrb/pal=KGZZYWTEXKCAC Its free and really worthwhile.
Payments are made after you reach the sites minimum payout, and are usually made within 48 hours unless specified differently in the sites terms of service.

Paying Sites
CoolCatMails: This is my top pick. Payout is $4 but easy to reach every 3-4 days without referrals. I have made hundreds of dollars off this one site alone. The webmaster is honest, fast and very friendly and if you have a problem, or arent getting enough search mails email him and he will fix it. They usually pay within 24 hours.

ReadRevenue: Another one that has paid me. Payout is $3, takes around 6 days to reach. Always pay within 48 hours.
www.readrevenue.com

TesasTeaMails: This one is a little slower than the other two, the payout is $2, but a genuine site that pays with lots of other fun ways to earn (raffles, contests, etc). Payout within 48 hours. Honest and friendly webmaster. Best of all this program is open to international members.

Classical Mail: A low 50 cent minimum payout makes this a great site to earn. Less mails than the others and cash out is limited to once a month, but you can make a tidy little sum each month. Pays within 48 hours.
www.classical-mail.com

SeekingCash: $1 minimum payout, but the webmaster is great and usually pays out every two days randomly. Only 1 cent emaisl which is great. Fantastic site. majke around 50 cents every two days.
www.seeking-cash.com

WorldCupMails: Another fantastic site. Once you reach the $3 minimum they automatically pay you, no need to request. Easy to reach payout every 3 days with no referrals. Excellent Site. Payment within 48 hours. www.worldcupmails.com

Non-Paying Sites
There ae a number of scam sites when it comes to ptr. Too many to name. Check out www.gptboycott.com for a full list. A few that come to mind that will NOT pay are seekingbizs.com, spicemails.com, forex-mails.com, 500cent-500dollars.com, and so many more. Anything promising to pay you more than a few cents per email is a SCAM. Avoid these so you don't waste your time.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you in any other way.
