OK, here is the first PTC site I have been looking at. It is called Paid2Youtube and as the name suggests – you get paid to view videos on YouTube. The scheme here is quite simple really – people want to get views/likes/comments in their videos, they pay to the site for those and you get a portion of it. You get paid 0.001$ (that’s right it’s 1/10th of a cent) for viewing the so called “Cheap” Ads, 0.005$ for surfing videos and a whole 1 cent to like a video. The math says that you can surf 2 videos (2×30 seconds) or watch 10 Cheap Ads (10×6 seconds); therefore you can make 0.01 every minute. You will get 0.10$ for a YouTube subscription and 0.15$ for commenting on a video. That said, I must outline that I’ve been doing this for a little over a month and I haven’t gotten to subscribing anywhere, I have however got to write 2 comments.
Another interesting thing on that site is that you can rent or buy referrals; you also can of course invite your friends. From the referrals you get about 1/10 of what they earn and the referrals that you rent are worth 0.30$ for a month. If you’re lucky – they will get those back for you and even more. That said – I have been lucky so far and I have 11 rented referrals for a month, on their own they make 0.10$-0.15$ every day, I therefore plan on renewing them all, plus getting some more. As I said in the beginning of this blog – I am not going to invest any money in these PTC sites, so I’ve made the money to rent the referrals just by viewing/surfing videos and watching the cheap ads. If my math is correct – these referrals will pay for themselves in the worst case scenario and in the best case – they are going to pay for themselves in 20 or so days. In that case – I will even get a profit (about 30%). Another thing that I should mention about referrals is that when you rent them – you can check their statistics – you can see how many views they’ve had, when they’ve subscribed and try to figure out if they are going to be persistent or just create an account and forget about it in a day. I’ve been able to get 100% active referrals up until now and that’s just by watching at their numbers.
As I said above – you can also buy referrals, you can even buy them in bulk of 5, 35, 100 or even 500 and that sounds terrific, as they should get your money back for couple of months and then start earning you some, but … as always – there is a catch. If you buy these 500 referrals – you don’t get any guarantee that they all will be active – you might end up paying for 100 people and then getting stuck with only 20 or so active referrals. The good thing is that you can change those, but that will cost you 0.25$ per, which however takes you farther away from the day you are going to get your money back and even farther from the day that you make any profit. That said, I should also mention that if you decide to buy referrals and eventually change them later – the one that you choose to change will be changed absolutely random with no option for you to choose which one you would like to get (based on statistics etc.).
After looking into that I decided that viewing ads and renting referrals will be my way to go. I’ve also invited some friends, however most of them gave up in a week and but one got seriously hooked and bought 500 referrals, even though I advised him against that. I hope it turns out OK for him, but at this time I am very skeptic about it. Don’t get me wrong – I do think that you can profit from this site, just not by throwing money at it.
As a bottom line – I would say that this is a pretty good site to start up with if you are new in the PTC world. Based on my experience so far – I would say that even if not great – one would be able to make a profit from it. If you are interested at starting, you can do so at paid2youtube.com, I would really appreciate it if you join through my referral link and therefore become my referral. It will not cost you anything, but it will mean a lot to me. If you wish to do so, please click the below image, that will take you to the registration page.
