Paid to Read Email Programs (PTR)

PTR sites will pay you to receive and read advertisers emails and click on a link.

When you sign up for a PTR site you will be able to choose the categories that interest you, and the emails you receive will respond to those categories. Of course, the number of emails you receive will depend on the type and number of categories you have chosen.

Some sites will send you more than 50 emails a day, and some might only send 1 or 2 a week. Some mails will include one link and some may include as many as 10 links.

When you click on a link in an email, you will be taken to a framed web page. One frame will show the amount of time you will need to visit the page and the amount of money or points you are credited. The other frame will show the advertisement. The timers may vary from 5 to 50 seconds.

PTR sites may also include all or some of the following features:
- Paid-to-Click where you are credited for clicking on banners and viewing the sites that are shown for as long as the timer runs.
- Autosurf where you are shown one site after the other. You must click on a turing number after each site is shown.
- Paid-to-Click Contests where you not only get credited for clicking on banners, but you might also win a certain prize after a number of banners have been clicked.
- Paid-to-Promote where you are credited for sending traffic to a certain page.
- Paid-to-SignUp where you are paid to sign up for free offers and other PTR sites.
- Games and Contests.
- Search engines where you are paid for making valid searches if your country is approved to search.

Different sites have different payouts. Some offer no-minimum payout and some have payouts as high as $30. Some of them are faster earners than others, meaning that some may take quite a long time to reach payout. Some sites offer points as a reward, and some exchange those points for cash while others only let you use them for advertising.

Before you sign up for any site, you should visit forums and do a research of the site as there are always a few who get a site to scam its members and never pay.
