I think the paid to click industry is pretty great as it allows those
with little money or experience to start to earn an easy dollar when it
is only time that it takes to get paid.
After several months of getting payments for the Super ptc programs I
click at, I really notice the loss of money to payment processor fees.
At one processor I loose a lot of money to the fees because I have a
business account, if I was a free member it would cost nothing to get
paid. Very frustrating when I cash out a dollar and .62 cents are
taken for fees.
It can take up to 3 months of personal clicking to make that $1 just
to have 60% of it gone to fees. Super aggravating as it is only because
I have an approved account. Go figure.
At Paypal I suffer so much less fee’s but at the same time, many of
the programs I take part in do not use Paypal because of there terms.
Most times it costs me $0 to get a PTC payment, I also have a business
approved account so Why not the fees? The difference in terms.
As an example in February I earned $14.21 in ptc earnings and lost
$2.90 to fees in Alertpay. When its a .78 cent loss off of a $5 payment
it does not seem so bad, sure, but when you loose $.60 to fees of a $1
payment leaving you .40cents for 3 months clicking, it hurts bad.
With Paypal in January I earned $9.19 and only lost .32cents to fees.
How is this? One program takes a huge fee to get payed a $1 and the
other doesn’t, both with the same approved business rating. It is
frustrating to say the least.
What is a marketer to do?
We can keep our accounts at free members to have free transfers, but
then you will not be able to join many programs as they require an
approved payment account to accept payments. You are kind of trapped
around the terms and fees.
You will end up needing to update your payment accounts to at least a
personal level, this is all free, you just need to do a due diligence
process.
Below are the fee’s I lost to making money with paid to click programs
so you can see the loss of earnings to steep fees.

What can be done? If you are only wanting to be payed and have a plan
with your clicking, then maybe getting payed to Paypal is the way to
go. Paypal has been known to freeze accounts and can change there terms
to suit there needs. This is why many programs do not use PayPal.
You can also keep your account level a free in Alertpay if all you
want to do is cashout, but if you are wanting to join certain programs
for marketing, you will need to approve your account at least to a
personal level.
There is no easy answer as these are the 2 biggest payment gateways
online and the majority of businesses use 1 or both. You can petition
your ptc program admin to do more masspay payouts, these hold no fees
but you have to wait till payout date. To avoid the steep fees the wait
might be worth it.
When you follow the simple plan I have put together these fees will be
the least of your worries. By having a set plan and a way to get there
you will soon not even notice the loss of income to fees. This is the
only way I can continue to use the ptc clubs and not feel I am wasting
too much time clicking and just loosing it to fee’s.
Click well and honest.
