How To Start

If you didn't go get your payment processor accounts or didn't grab and install security software, please go back and DO THIS! Once you start, you'll need your payment details and will start 'surfing' right away!

Make sure you have at least 2 different email accounts. 1 for PTCs and 1 for PTR emails. I suggest nothing smaller than a GMAIL account for the email address you'll use for PTR programs. These programs will send you A LOT of email!

Once that is done you can start signing up with some Free Money Programs. You can sign up from the PTR Links and PTC Links pages on my website or try finding your own - but be careful about the sites you choose. Check the Scam/Problem List page before you get too far along with sign ups.

A Typical Sign-Up - Here's How It Works
You'll get to a site sign-up page and fill in your details, including your email address that is in good working order. For many PTRs, the sign-up page only asks for your email address and nothing else. You'll get an email at your working address with instructions on completing your signup from the PTR site.

For PTCs, you will usually fill out all your details - email address, legal name, payment processor account ID, the country in which you live, etc. You may or may not receive a confirmation email SO WRITE YOUR PASSWORDS AND USERNAME DOWN in a temporary, safe way.
Here's a TRICK for Organization
While you're doing sign-ups
As you leave each site from a successful log-in, make sure to do so with the proper log OUT buttons on-site. This will usually place you back at a login screen...BOOKMARK THIS PAGE IMMEDIATELY. Then you will not have to find it later or look it up from an email. It will be in your bookmarks since your first login-logout experience with each site. Don't forget to do this or you might end up plainly forgetting to go and log in to sites and your accounts will expire from disuse! Then you won't be making ANY money from those websites.

Now once you've signed up for a decent number of programs and all of these login pages are in your browser bookmarks, you're ready to start making some money!

Use a tabbed browser and open up about 4-8 sites at a time and start clicking links! If you click within several sites at a time, you will earn more money. Really, if you had to only log in to 1 site at a time, it would take you FOREVER to earn enough money to reach 'cashout' stage in these programs.

Log IN EVERY DAY. Spend the first week getting used to how your browser works with opening multi-sites. Also just take a few days on getting your eyes around how the different formats on sites look. WATCH OUT FOR CHEAT LINKS. If you click these you'll lose points, credits, cash - or usually - YOUR ENTIRE ACCOUNT. You might get banned!
