Ptc And Affiliate Marketing: Two-in-one Way To Make Money From Home

PTC or Pay-To-Click is a business model wherein site owners pay a PTC site (we’ll refer to this as SITE from hereon) to advertise for them. The SITE then gets people to sign up and pays them a variable amount to aforementioned ads. This is a very profitable situation because the advertisers get their page views, the SITES get paid to advertise, and the SITE’s members (let’s refer to them as CLICKERS) get paid as well just to click on those ads. In other words, it’s profitable for all the parties involved.
PTC vs PPC
What is the difference between PTC and PPC? Just to be clear, PTC refers to the act of clicking on ads to earn money. PPC (or Pay Per Click) refers to paying sites a certain amount when someone clicks on an ad. PPC is what a webpage owner does to drive traffic to his page. Let’s try an example to make it clearer: Carlos has a web page about dogs and he wants to drive traffic so he can profit. He will then start a PPC campaign with a SITE. When a person clicks on the ad, he then gets charged for that click. I hope that makes sense.

So How Is Affiliate Marketing Tied Up With PTC?
When doing this, you have the choice of going at it alone. Of course, you can’t expect to make a lot of money quickly. Truthfully, it will take up to three (3) months before you can even ask for a payout from SITES that you are a member of. The smart thing to do is to get people to join under you as your downline. This is where affiliate marketing (let’s refer to this as AM) comes in. When you sign up in a SITE, you will be provided your very own affiliate link. Promote this link whenever you can. You may choose to utilize social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. You may e-mail your friends, relatives, etc. and include the link. Be creative, you need all the downlines you can get.

Why Do I Need Downlines?
Simple, once you have recruits, you earn from their clicks too! Some SITES may offer up to the third (3rd) level. Make sure you read the terms of agreement. What’s for sure is, you will benefit enormously from having as many downlines as you can. Another choice is to rent referrals, which necessitates that you allocate some of your earnings to pay for them.

So there you have it, how to make money from home just clicking on ads. And it teaches you AM as well. It’s a easy way to begin in internet marketing, and you don’t even need to really spend money at all to get started.
