Common mistakes & how to avoid them

What are the common mistakes people do when trying to earn on ptc sites?

 

1. Strategy/plan/general idea of what you want to achieve

 

             

                  Starting without a plan and thinking that thing will work themselves out somehow. It's only the beginning, so there is no                     real need to think hard about it. Even if it doesn't pay off, one can simply leave.

 

 

                  Since it is the beginning, gathering some inforation about the site and considering strategies can really speed up the                       growth of your account. If you do so, you will be able to predict the way your account will develop and notice if                                     something goes wrong. Therefore, it's important to have a plan!

 

2. Abusing your free membership

 

           

                   "I'm a free member. Therefore, I will max out my rented referrals and earn from them without ever having to pay any                           membership upgrade."

 

 

                   Read the strategies before going into anything and be ready to upgrade. This is the obstacle that most of people do                        not pass - "the rented referral trap". And it goes like this. You click and earn some money. Then, you spend that                                money on rented referrals. They earn you more money. You spend more money on rented referrals. And so on until                          you start earning about $1-2 a day and earn as much referrals as you can. And that's OK. But it won't last. Why? Because you will have to renew old referrals, not only buy new ones. Also, you will need to recycle ones that are inactive. Soon you will be in situation that your referrals, due to their inactivity (and your membership), won't be earning enough money for you to keep them renewing and recycling. And that's where the system crashes. To make it even worse - you will have to pay extra money for every one of your referrals that expires. And that's how you will give up on clicking ads because it's "a scam". Well, it isn't a scam. The main problem is inactivity of rented referrals. The solution would be to find a way for them to be recycled before that looong period of 14 days expires (that's how long it usually take for your referrals to be autorecycled if you are a free member). And what is the solution? An upgrade. Upgraded members have autorecycling period 3-days-long. That means their inactive referrals are recycled for free after only 3 days of not clicking (compare that with 14). Therefore, always consider upgrade as a solution. It's better to pay $50 to earn $70 than pay nothing to earn nothing.

 

3. Advertising on other sites

 

 

                    "There are sites other than the one you are active on that allow members to advertise (other PTC sites, to be precise).                     I should advertise there by using my link. Everyone else does it, so it has to be useful."

 

 

                   When choosing sites to advertise on, one has to be careful. If everyone is advertising there, your ad will be less                                effective. Think of it as a market - if there is more of a certain merchandise available, it's price will go down. That's                           exactly what will happen to your chances of getting some referrals if you advertise your link where everyone else does it. Also, try to create a blog or something in which you would explain the good sides of the site you are working for. Seeing some registration forms without any kind of introduction isn't very attrative to your potential referrals.
