First of all, GPT (Get Paid To) sites which comes in many different forms, such as PTC (Paid To Click), PTP (Paid To Promote), PTS (Paid To Signup) and PTR (Paid To Read). GPT sites usually offer all of the above, but might only major in one or 2 of the areas.
PTR and PTC’s are very slow earners, usually earning you between $0.001 cent to $0.02 cents per read or per click. Though they earn you very little, they are generally the more stable sites as they provide plenty of links a day and you can earn a steady bit of money through it.
PTS sites usually earn you a fair bit of money until you exhaust all the offers the PTS site offers and you then don’t have any new offers to complete which also means no cash. Offers offered at PTS sites are categorized into "safe" and "unsafe" offers, "safe" offers being the ones that don’t need any credit involvement or money. "Unsafe" offers are the ones that requires either a credit card or a little bit of money involved, this "unsafe" offers tend to give you a higher return. Offers at PTS sites can earn you anywhere from $0.10 to $10.00 or more.
GPT sites usually pay through 2 different types of payment processors, Alertpay and Paypal. As recently Paypal has been banning certain GPT sites Paypal account, many GPT sites have been using Alertpay as an alternative payment processor. If you have accounts at 2 of these payment processors, then congratulations, you can now recieve earnings and payment from just about any GPT site out there:).
The time from cashing out to actually recieving payments varies from site to site. Some a few months, some instantly. The fastest payment I ever had was 4 hours after I requested a cash out.
Many GPT sites favour residents from the USA, Australia, Canada and Britain. This is especially obvious in PTS sites which restrict their membership to certain countries. PTS that opens their membership to international members usually have lower paying offers for them.
GPT sites are everywhere in the internet, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of them. Finding the good and genuine GPT sites however proves a problem to everybody as some of them are scams where they credit you with insane amounts of money but you never actually get to lay your hands on it. Other scam sites start off honestly and actually pay their members, once people start putting confidence in it and start investing serious money, the owners of such sites then just take up their earnings and run, leaving people like me and you stuck with nothing.
Oh, and the scripts used to run these GPT sites are the usual 3 types of scripts. So don’t be surprised if you run into sites with exactly the same scripts but just a different theme.
So if you don’t mind clicking for peanuts and the fact that you’re facing the possibility that you are investing time and money into a scam site, then the GPT industry is the right one for you:P. Hope I din’t paint such a bleak picture for you all, because the fact is, GPT is still one of the simplest way to earn a little money, even though it might not be the best.
