PTR is short for Paid To Read email. PTR is a great and simple way to start earning some money online. They are ideal for everyone because they dont require any preperation or website construction. All you have to do is sign up for the ptr programs for free and spend some time reading email, clicking links, visiting websites and considering the advertised offers. After you signed up for a ptr program, you will receive a lot of paid-emails daily. Click them read them and then click the paid-link in order to get credited. Its that simple. When you clicked the link you will visit the advertised website, and after the timer expires, normally after 20 ~30 seconds, your account will be credited. Most paid-emails are valued between 0.1 cent and 2 cents. It all depends on the program and what country you live in. Basiclly there are two different kinds of ptr programs. There are international ptr programs that accept members worldwide and 'search based'ptr programs that accept members from the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Iceland, Netherlands, New Zealand,Norway, Portugal, Sweden,Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The difference between them is that the search based ptr programs mainly advertise pay per click search engines. The emails for these ptr programs are useally higher valued than international ptr's . Emails are mostly 0.5 cent and up to 2 cent. The international ptr programs send you mostly 0.25 cent emails but they can also be point emails or cheap links of 0.1 cent. Points can be redeemed for advertising or exchanged to cash. But not all international ptr programs send cheap links. Sites like bgpaymail , weallgetpaid and november tears are sending their members also 1 or 2 cent emails. Some international ptr programs also have a PTP feature. PTP stands for Paid to Promote. You can earn money by sending traffic to your personal ptp link. paid to promote is very popular because you can earn money without doing much for it. You can send traffic to your ptp links by advertising at approved ptr programs. Let's say for instance you buy 10,000 emails ads for $3.50 to your ptp link. That will get you like 6,000 credits witch you can exchange for $4.62 cash. This is just an example, the CPM price all depends on the specific program you promote.
