The Problem With Paid To Read Email Programs

Paid-To-Click and Paid-To-Read programs are where you get paid to click on advertisements and read emails.

As a stay at home mom I have been desperate to find a way to create some extra income online and be able to stay at home with my children at the same time.

So of course I signed up for several Paid-To-Read / Paid-To-Click programs and I found myself getting several hundred emails in my inbox every day. In fact, it was quite overwhelming to me.

I would click away for hours non-stop, thinking that I was going to make some great money. The clicks ranged between 0.25 of a cent upwards of 1 cent each. I thought I was doing very well. Clicking and reading all those ads made me feel as though I was doing something productive with my day.

It was a enormous accomplishment for me to be able to reach a $1 payout and collect it in my Pay Pal. It is crazy how you feel about a dollar when you spend so many hours earning it.

It took me a long time to realize that I was spending way too many hours a day on Paid-To-Click and Paid-To-Read programs just to make that one dollar.

In addition, it was way too time consuming and took me away from my children. I started to feel terrible about what sort of mother I was becoming. The PTC / PTR programs also put a lot of junk on my computer because I was visiting so many web pages every day.

Some of the more popular paid-to-read programs out there today are Adbux and Clixsense.

Adbux claims that you will earn 1 cent for every ad you click and 1 cent for every ad your referrals click. Adbux excitingly declares that you can make 10 cents a day. It gets better, if you get 10 referrals below you who also click 10 advertisements per day you will make a whole $1 a day.

I don't know about you, but for me working to get 10 referrals under me so I can earn $1 per day does not really seem like it is worth the effort.

I mean, why should people commit to a program in order to earn 10 cents per day when there are other more higher earning ways to earn money online?

I also checked out Clixsense and they seem more professional to me than Adbux does, but I still do not believe that either one of them are worth spending much of any time on. Considering you will literally be making under a dollar per hour, you would have to waste your whole day reading advertisements to earn anything.

You may be wondering how I create an income online if I don't participate in these free paid-to-read and paid-to-click programs. It is simple, I use a different type of free programs that pay me several dollars a day from as opposed to several pennies.

I do this by doing free surveys, participating in free offers and writing articles. Doing so allows me to earn much more than I could ever get by simply clicking on advertisements.

I have been keeping track of my online earnings and the best resources to earn money online using only free, legitimate programs that really pay well.
