Some Updates And News On My GetPaidTo’s (GPT’s)
I recently have been neglecting the whole GetPaidTo (GPT) industry and left the accounts which I had active in the hands of my younger brother who is supposedly helping the the work back home in Malaysia. The reason for this was because the boarding school here blocked GetPaidTo websites including PTC, PTR – basically all forms of GPT’s. Sure, there were ways to get around the school blocks but many of the GPT sites do not accept proxy members and actually delete accounts whenever they see 2 accounts having the same IP address. If I use a proxy, the chance of me having the same IP address is extremely high, so I figured it won’t be worth my time.
Anyway, here are some light and quick updates of what I can remember when I checked the accounts the last time I went back to Malaysia.
ThinkBux
I now have 4 referrals here, some of them which are even more active then me 
. I reached $5 which was the minimum payout last time, however I found out they increased the minimum payout to $10 and now only offer PayPal as a withdraw option if you are a premium member. If you aren’t a premium member like me, the only withdrawal option left is Alertpay. All this happened as the owner sold ThinkBux to another guy.
AugBux
This turned out to be quite the classic scam as this site is now not operational anymore. At first I though this site as quite promising as there were many many ads to click on, however now on looking back I’m pretty glad I did not invest any money or too much time on this PTC as it was a scam.
Better-Bux
When I went back to Malaysia I found out that Better-Bux had deleted my account. This was the 2nd time my account got deleted by Better-Bux and as usual, when I created a new account using the exact same details (this is allowed) all my stats were still there left untouched 
. I think it’s some sort of bug.
ClixNCash
I now have a couple of referrals in ClixNCash, however these referrals just aren’t clicking.
Cash-Hi
Same as ClixNCash, a couple of extremely inactive referrals.
CrewBux
This along with ThinkBux is one of those PTC sites that I feel has a lot of potential. I’m currently trying to focus more on this as even though I still do not have any referrals here, from what I have seen and heard is that is honest and does payout. Furthermore, the $0.01 per click is also relatively high.
Things I Learned From This Happenings:
So yeah, the whole GetPaidTo industry seems pretty nice at first as the concept of actually making money from just clicking seems very interesting and attracting, however upon closer look and after scrutinizing it rather carefully, I have to say that the GPT industry is quite volatile and I suggest that you do not invest too much money into these programs. I know of people who invest hundreds of dollars into such programs, but if these programs turns out to be a scam, that is it, your money is all gone. Even if the site is honest and paying you now, there is no guarantee that the site will not change hands into a dishonest person’s hands.
GPT’s are GPT’s, what you gain by earning free money even though in extremely small amounts is at the expense of stability and long term growth. That said, I still recommended GPT’s if you are keen on making money online and not sure whether that is possible as with GPT’s you can easily earn a couple of cents into your PayPal account in a day .

Yeah, I encountered some of the same issues when using adult revenue services. Though my site got many views there werent as many click throughs as I had expected and no sale conversions. Not sure what I was doing wrong, I followed a lot of expert advice for months without seeing a dime. :/
Accidently hit send too fast
Id like to add that I sometimes feel as though Im being scammed on the Click Through programs, as I send thousands of clicks, and some of those people buy things, i only recieved 1 usd. I sometimes wonder if its really worth it to basically market someone elses enterprise for less than pennies, guess thats just me.
Speaking from experience as one who uses PTC sites, when I click on an advertisement, the only thing I really look at is the counter showing how many seconds left before I click another advertisement. I hardly even glance at the website.
Another point, people who join PTC’s are trying to make small amounts of money using a lot of time, I don’t think they will actually have enough money or are willing to spend it on items of any sort, I know I wont
.
Personally, I feel most PTC sites except for a few well run PTC sites are all going down sooner or later. I’ll write more about this in another post sometime as I have heard some interesting going-on’s in the PTC and GPT industry recently.
I’d tried PTC few years ago, my friendly advice, don’t waste your time on PTC, it can make some money but never make you rich
Yup. I don’t think it will ever make you rich too as you are not even building up a business even after years of clicking which if the PTC closes down you would have lost everything. PTCs however are a easy way to show you that money can be made online - even if in miniscule portions.
