O.k., So you've dipped your toe in the water looking to make money on the internet - one problem though, scams. I write this article a day after I, myself, fell for a scam. I really should know better by now but for some strange reason I ignored my experience online and went for something I really liked the look of ( I will not mention the name of this product because it has apparently worked for some people ). Luckily I only paid just under ten British pounds for the product but still - very annoyed! So how can you make money from the internet without suffering this annoyance.

One avenue I went down that has actually worked out for me was the use of PTC or 'Paid to Click' sites. I discovered these sites very early on in my online career after a bad experience with 'survey sites' which left me with a mountain of spam in my main email account. Paid to click sites are very easy to use and are very popular because of this.

On a paid to click site you earn money by simply viewing the customers websites or adverts for a set amount of time. The amount you get paid for viewing the adverts varies from PTC site to PTC site but usually ends up at the one cent mark. The amount of time you have to view each advert/site also varies from site to site but usually ends up at about thirty seconds. The PTC site will always want to make sure you are human so you will be given a quick test at the end of each viewing.

Now, there are a lot of paid to click sites out there and not all of them are legitimate. Some are set up to wait for enough investment/upgrading and then they will close down leaving some sort of lame excuse on their domain. Do you think they pay the money back when they close? No chance. To avoid these sites it is easy enough - just do a quick search engine search for the reliable sites ( there are plenty of these out there ). It is also a good idea to look for a forum before you sign up for a paid to click site. Forums indicate that the site has nothing to hide and they are prepared to show payment proofs from their members,

I know that one cent per view seems like a waste of time but with the use of referrals and certain upgrades and techniques you can make reasonable money each month ( it all adds up when working online ). Paid to click sites are an easy way to earn and if scouted before joining - safe and secure to use.
