At The Side Hustle University, I strive to provide everyone with some legitimate ideas of how to make some extra money. With the state of the world now, and with the uncertainty of economies globally, all of us are looking for that new and exciting way to make some extra cash.
Fortunately for us, there are 1000’s of ways to make some cash on the side, be it baking muffins and cakes and cookies, creating artwork, or even organizing closets for people. The unfortunate thing is that many of these ways turn out to have underwhelming results and require a lot of time and commitment that many of us are not yet ready to give or make. Some even turn out to be flat-out scams that we unfortunately fall for.
But, being completely honest with you here, there are few ways to make money online with little to no effort, at least in the beginning that is. Things will quickly change and that revenue stream could quickly become obsolete. Not saying it isn’t possible to make 1000s of dollars a month online with a side hustle, but I am saying that it is very unlikely to happen overnight.
Now look, I believe in hard work. And if you are willing to put in the effort, I am willing to provide you with some guidance. This way your efforts can be directed toward a specific goal and hopefully translate into a successful side hustle for you. Your success is my success.
One side hustle I have found to be legitimate and has proven to be pretty lucrative for some people is something that is called “Paid To Click.” In this article, I will be discussing what this is, how it works, and most importantly is it worth it?
***DISCLAIMER*** This is not a paid review. I have not received any compensation for this, nor has any company asked me to write this review. This review is strictly based on my experiences and opinions. Results will vary for each individual.
Have You Heard About PTC Ads?
One of the easiest ways that I have come across is something known as Paid To Click. This is a side hustle that pays you to click on things such as advertisements or video clips and in return, you get a share of the ad revenue. Sounds simple, and believe me it is but is it really worth the time? Can you make some money off this? The short answer is YES! You can make some money doing this, but it all depends on how much TIME and MONEY you are willing to invest in it.
Paid To Click – What Is It?
PTC ads are a form of online advertising where businesses, and in some cases people, can pay to have their ad(s) displayed on a website for a certain amount of time. When a user clicks on the ad or video, they are redirected to the advertiser’s website and earn money. PTC is a great way for businesses to get exposure and for users to make some extra money.
PTC is a way to generate traffic to certain sites. The more traffic they generate, the more ad revenue they receive. You click an ad, watch a video that ranges in time from say 5 seconds to a minute, and get paid. Rinse and repeat, and that is how easy it is.
Paid To Click websites generate money from two sources; the ad revenue which they end up sharing with their members, and the membership fees. The more members that a Paid To Click website has, the more likely it is to have a variety of advertisers, meaning there will be no shortage of ads to click. Also, Paid To Click websites usually offers some kind of referral program where you can either rent referrals from the site itself and receive a small portion of their earnings, or get your own referrals, known as direct referrals, and make a larger percentage of their earnings. Either way, you are making money off of them, which just increases your earnings.
What Are The Benefits of Using Paid To Click Programs?
Obviously, the main benefit is that it provides another income stream for you, I think that goes without saying. The benefits of Paid To Click are just like any other online work from home business. You can work from home, set your own hours, and make money doing something relatively easy. Plus, for the most part, you don’t have to invest any money to get started, all you need is a computer and an internet connection, and boatloads of time.
There are some drawbacks to using Paid To Click programs though albeit there are fewer cons than there are pros. For example, some PTCs require members to use pop-up blockers which may interfere with other web activities. Another disadvantage is that you will not be able to withdraw earnings until you hit the required cashout amount. The biggest and most important drawback is this takes a lot of time to set yourself up to a point where it is profitable and worth your time. Look, as I said before, The Side Hustle University strives to be as truthful and transparent as possible, so it is only right to tell you here and now, Paid To Click websites require a lot of your time.
To put this into simple and understandable terms please follow along below. The highest-paying site we use is called Neobux. So the math below is based on my Neobux numbers.
If you click on 10 advertisements a day, you would make $0.10 USD/day
30 days in a month will give a total of $0.10 X 30 days = $3.00 USD/month
$3.00 USD/month X 12 months = $36 USD per year
This tells us that even if you did this over the course of a year you would not even come close to making back the $90.00 you spent upgrading to a GOLDEN membership. Underwhelming numbers but hang in there. Remember I mentioned referrals. Well, here is where they work to your advantage. For more on this please see my article titled, “Neobux Case Study – My Real Experience Shared” for more on this and a more concise explanation.
Earnings Potential
As I mentioned above the earnings are not all that great. To be honest, earning a few cents per day sounds like an epic failure. Who would want to waste their time doing this?
But, if you remember I mentioned something called referrals. Well, with the help of these referrals, Paid To Click CAN earn you some decent coin.
Again, The Side Hustle University strives to be completely honest and transparent with you so we will tell you a few things here that most other people will not.
- You got to spend money to make money – sounds cliche but it is the truth when it comes to Paid To Click
- You need to see this through – be patient, be consistent, and stay positive
- Give it time. This is not something that will become lucrative overnight. Many of us are looking for that “get rich quick” miracle, but really, if it were that easy to make money then everyone would be doing it. Patience is key.
Conclusions
Overall, The Side Hustle University does find that Paid To Click is a decent way to make money online, the only investment on your part is your time, and money if you want to invest in it.
If you’re looking for a way to make some extra cash by doing online tasks, then I would definitely recommend trying Paid To Click websites. It’s free to sign up and get started, so what do you have to lose?
I really hope that this review was helpful and provided some value to you and your dreams of making money online, what do you think?
Thanks for reading!
To your success,
