Introduction
In an effort to help make money using paid to read email sites, I have put together this guide for friends looking for an easy way to make money online.
Getting Started
The first step is to familiarize your self with the Paid to read Emails website. A typical paid to read email website contain following sections. A brief about them is given below.
View Earnings - This page displays your earnings, referrals, and transactions.
Advertising Stats - If you have purchased or redeemed for ads, this is the place to view your statistics.
Account Info - This is the place to change the information you have on the site, you can also update your interest categories, or even cancel your account.
There are PTRE sites which send Search Emails, and to get those search emails they ask you to select a topic like “Reference” as an interest.
Get Paid for Free Offers – These days sites provide you a toolbar to Download and earn money for every FREE offer you complete. These toolbars are generally small, safe, and easy to install.
Paid-To-Click - There are two PTC sections, Cash and Points. Visit both sections daily to maximize your earning potential.
Inbox - Unless you selected “Send Emails to email address” upon joining, a copy of all paid to read emails will be sent to the on-site inbox. In Most of the sites Messages older than 15 days are automatically deleted. It is a good idea to check the inbox regularly to make certain you are receiving all of the emails. It is also useful if you cannot read HTML emails with your current email provider.
Start Page – You can earn points every 12 hours for visiting the Start Page URL.
Refer Members – Here you’ll find your referral links to recruit other members.
Refer Advertisers - Your referral links for advertiser commissions are here.
Upgrade Your Account - Upgrades are optional, but offer many benefits including extra referrals and a lower payout, depending on the level of the Upgrade.
Shopping Rewards - Earn rewards and get cash back bonuses for shopping at participating merchant stores. These are found through the Shopping Portal.
Redemptions - This is the place to trade in your earnings for ads, cash, and more.
Games - The Game Room is the spot to kick back, relax, and have some fun.
Jokes - Laughter is the best medicine. Drop by the Jokes portal and have yourself a giggle or two. You can add your own jokes, as well!
Once you’ve taken a tour of the site and know where everything is, it’s time to start earning. I would suggest you to visit the Paid-To-Click sections daily and check your emails.
Keep in mind that every email advertisement and banner shown came from another member or advertiser who is paying to have their site seen, so be sure to browse the websites. Sign up if you like what you see or want to learn more. You can always cancel your account later if you decide it’s not for you.
Now, if you’re thinking, “But I don’t have a website! Why should I bother clicking point links?” – You are not alone. I get that question a lot. The quick answer is, “You don’t have to”, however, points can be very useful and you don’t necessarily need a website. If you join even one other program, you have something to advertise.
You can also save up your points to use for raffles and point auctions conducted on these sites. The choice is yours.
Where are those point auctions, you ask? An announcement is made in an email (at the top, under the “News” section) when a new auction starts. These are generally held at Sites Support Forum. Make sure you are reading your emails, or you might miss them!
Referring Other Members
So, you’ve been reading your emails and visiting the websites, but want your earnings to add up a little faster? Use Referral Links to the rescue!
Refer other members to the site and earn a commission from every website they visit.
So, let’s say you get someone to join the program under you. You will earn 25% of everything they earn. But wait – it gets better! If your referral recruits others to join, you can earn a commission from them, too! In fact, you’ll be rewarded down 15 levels!
To give you an idea of how much this can help, let’s pretend you have 3 referrals. Your referrals recruited 3 members each, then they referred 3 members, etc – we’ll stop at Level 5 for this example. 
(You) Level 1: 3 Level 2: 9 Level 3: 27 Level 4: 81 Level 5: 243
For every 1 cent link you click on, you would earn $0.2505 from your downline!
Please note, this is not a requirement to be paid. The downline structure is simply an added bonus if you wish to use it.
Country Targeting
Hey, I’m from {India / China}, why do I not receive as many emails and offers as those from the USA and Canada?!
It’s true, a large percentage of our offers are targeted to members in the USA and Canada. This is based on advertiser demand. There is something that you as a member can do, though.
First, see the “Referring Others” portion above, but target members from the USA and Canada when you advertise. You will earn the same commission from them as any other country, but since they get more emails, you’ll earn more. Plus, if you are advertising through other Paid-To-Read programs, it is often cheaper to target those members than to purchase an ad to all.
Another way to help this situation and earn more is to refer advertisers from your area. Read on….
Referring Advertisers
PTRE sites will pay you a commission for every ad sale you refer to them. This includes any purchase you make for yourself!
If you want more offers targeted to your area, you could contact business in your area and refer them to their website. Any time they make a purchase from your referral link, not only will you receive the commission for the sale, but you’ll also have more links to visit!
