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.
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.
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.
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.
I now have a couple of referrals in ClixNCash, however these referrals just aren’t clicking.
Same as ClixNCash, a couple of extremely inactive referrals.
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.
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

ThinkBux.com is my favourite PTC site out there. No, it has not paid me yet, but from what I have read about it, seen in their forums, it is very reputable and has been paying on time and regularly. ThinkBux is the only PTC site I have come across that pays you $0.01 a click and a low minimum payout of $2.00. Most sites which pays $0.01 a click has a minimum payout of $10 or more.
Like all PTC sites, to really earn money out of ThinkBux.com you have to have patience and a nice and active downline. If you’re just looking to earn a couple dollars a month, ThinkBux is perfect for you as you don’t need a downline at all to earn a couple of dollars a month. If you’re looking for some semi-serious income, ThinkBux also has the potential to provide you one with enough active referrals.
The forums in ThinkBux is also a nice friendly place. Members of ThinkBux regularly posts their payment proofs there along with their success stories which is quite inspiring.

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.
