FAQ
Okay, so what's the catch?
Aren't we the suspicious type. There is not catch really. Oh well, if you insist; there is a minimum pay out you have to reach first before you will get paid. This may be as low as $ 2.00 or as high as $ 350.00 (yes, we have seen both). Don't let a low pay out be the main reason to sign up and don't let a high pay out scare you off. The lower the minimum pay out is, the lower the e-mails are worth. They could be as low as $ 0.002. Programs with a high minimum pay out pay a whole lot more for the e-mails ($ 0.05 up to $ 0.20!).
Something smells fishy. Why are you guys telling me all this. What's in it for you?
Always thinking the worst of people, aren't you? Well, we will be honest with you; we get a referral bonus for every program we get you to sign up for. Furthermore we will receive a percentage of the amount of money you make. But....you can start referring people as well as soon as you have become a member. What about that, eh? We're cool guys, basically :p
Do I have to pay to sign up?
No, the PTR programs mentioned on our website do not have a sign up fee. Most even pay you to sign up with them! (Of course you will receive this money once you have reached the program's minimum pay out. They may be good, but they are not crazy.)
I live in Munchkinland. Can I join?
We don't know. Some programs have excluded certain countries, because of the excessive cheating. Are there a lot of cheaters in Munchkinland? You should look on the homepage of the program to see if your country is allowed there.
Do they really pay?
We sure hope so! But seriously, we cannot guarantee that they will actually pay you. On the 'I've Been Paid!'page (coming soon) you can find the programs that have actually paid us. We also keep our eyes and ears open and are members of various programs that report scams. On the messageboard we will keep you updated. We would like you to use the messageboard as well, to report us and our members your experiences (good and bad) with the various programs.
How much money can I make?
That, my friend, is all up to you. It depends on how much time you have and are willing to put into this. The more
e-mails you read, the more you will make. It's that simple. Remember that you can make extra money by referring people. We are concidering to make a list of programs, which are great for advertising.
How will I get paid?
With beads, very shiney ones. Nah, you will be paid in dollars. Most programs offer various types of payment. Most common used are; check, Paypal or Stormpay. Paypal and Stormpay are free internet bankaccounts. You can sign up with them at these addresses; http://www.paypal.com and http://www.stormpay.com.
Why do they pay me for reading e-mails anyway?
You get paid for looking at advertisements basically. The advertisers pay the programs and the programs pay you. That way we are all happy :)
Can I use any e-mail account to sign up with? Even free ones like Hotmail or Yahoo?
Yes, you can. But spamfilters may filter the e-mails, sent by the programs, out. So check your spam filter. To be sure you will receive the e-mails, add the programs to your safelist or contacts. It is very adviseable to use a designated e-mail account so your regular account will not be flooded by these e-mails. Also make sure to regularly clean your account, so there is enough space for new e-mails. Otherwise e-mails will bounce, which might end up in your PTR account being deleted :(
What happens when I don't read the e-mails?
You will be fined! Noooo... Nothing will happen. No fines. If you are inactive for too long the program may delete your PTR account though. By the way, you don't actually have to read all the e-mails. Just click on the links to earn your money. But! Be careful! Many programs send so called cheat links. If you click those, they will deduct a certain amount of your earnings. So read them a little bit. Just enough not to be fooled by the cheat links. Will be our little secret ;)
Can I opt out whenever I want?2>
My, my, you sound all round already. Yes, you can quit at any time. No costs, no loss. With this PTR business you can only gain. It is indeed 100% risk free.
