PTR Series How To - Picking PTR sites

This blog post a source for those who are picking PTR sites. There are so many out there that many people do not know how to pick, manage, and tell which ones are scams and which ones aren't. While doing this experiment on the scams and no scams, I have learned a couple of things and I want to tell you about it and see if it can apply to your lives and your adventures in PTR sites.

Here are some steps to follow when picking and participating in a PTR site.

1) Research the sites

It is vitally important to research the sites you want to join. Here are a couple of websites that you can use.

www.scam.com
www.gptboycott.com

These websites are really good resources. You can read about how other websites have treated thier members and if they have paid or not. If any of your websites are on these websites its a good idea not to join them. You will just be waisting your time for nothing.

Sometimes the paying sites have testimonials or a record of emails of people who they have paid. It is always good to email those people, or even the site to see if they will send you a screen shot of a payment made. If anyone answers you and sends you a recent screen shot then go ahead and give the site a try.

Another good way to research your sites is to just google them. You can learn get a mountain of information from googling.

2) Free Membership Only

Once you have decided on a website(s) only become a free member. DO NOT PURCHASE A MEMBERSHIP!!!!! Most of them get people who are in desperate situations. They claim that if you purchase their membership then the minimuim payment request is little to none and you will get it much faster. This gets many people because it is human nature to be impatient. When you purchase the membership and the place turns out to be a scam, then you are out of money and time.

It is always good to wait and have patience and get to the free member minimuim no matter how long it takes. This way, if they are a scam you are not out any money. You havent lost anything except time. You are not out any money.

Now if the website pays you then you can upgrade the membership and get the money faster.

3) Seperate Email Address

I put this a a third step because it is an optional step. IF you join more than three then I would suggest to set up a seperate email address in order to participate in the ptr websites. Some of them send out many many emails and can flood your email. However this step is up to the member.

I hope these steps help. They are very simple. Here soon I will be posting on hints on how to effectively participate and advertise your ptr sites.

Giga-Mails Update

Well this month is almost over and no payment from giga-mails. I have decided that if by August 1, 2009, I do not recieve any sort of payment, I will consider this site a scam. I was reading the testimonials and it seems that most people get paid about within the second month. For instance people who joined and requested payments in June didnt get theirs until August, January did not get thiers until March. This tells me that there is still a possibility of getting some type of payment. SO BY AUGUST 1,2009, THERE IS NOTHING IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT, I WILL SAY THIS IS A SCAM SITE.

BuxPTR

I am officially marking Buxptr as a scam. I have emailed them many many times about the payout button with no response. I have also been at the same amount for more than a week. Nothing has been updated, even the new emails that I have recently clicked on. This is a shame because this is supposed to be a honest website. So until other wise I am marking this site as a scam. If anyone has been paid please email me a screen shot. However, I personally am going to delete my account with them and I suggest you do the same. there is no sense waisting any more time on one website that you are hoping that will pay you.

venting session..Enough is Enough

Okay, I am getting so frusterated with these companies. Even these accredited companies like cashmails.org. Ones that show that they are paying. Who are they paying? Certainly not me. It has been about three days over the "30 day" time period. Actaully all of them have been and so far nothing. Nada. Zero. Zip. And when I email them, no answer. I have even emailed people that they have "supposidly" paid. Still nothing. I think that once these companies do not pay when they say they are going to then we just need to drop them and tell other people that they are scammers. We as people need to finally stand up to these companies. This is why I wrote this blog is to right the wrongs. So far I have joined at least 6 and have made the 'minimium" at about 4. I should have over $100,000 in money by now and I have none. If anyone has anything to show from any high paying company please email me the snap shot and i will be happy to join and post it on my blog. I am still hopeing that there is one company, one single company out there that is honest and can be a blessing to all these people who are seeking financial freedom, in these hard times. We need to stop being pushed around by these companies, we need to demand our rightful money or just quite the company and take our people with us.

BuxPTR, and Cashmails.org update

An email sent to Link2Communion

I have sent an email to Link2Communion about my payment. According to the faqs I should have already gotten a payment by the 27th of this month (which is 30 days after the request). So I have written them an email regaurding my payment. I will let everyone know if I hear from them.

Email sent to Link2Communion June 30, 2009

Hello,

I am writting in regards to my payment. I requested a payment last month on May 27, 2009. And it was by check. Now according to your faqs, I should receive the payment on June 27, 2009 (which is 30 days after request) and yet there is no payment in my mail box. Can you please inform me on where abouts my payment is. I would really appreciate it.

Venting Session and Giga-mails update

Okay, it is June 30, 2009 and still no payment from Giga-mails. The admin do a really poor job. I am trying to have faith and hope that this site is the real deal. So in my frustration I have sent them an email and if you have not received your payments, I suggest that you do the same. If you requested a payment in May and have not recieved the payment yet then write them constantly. At least once a day for each day that you do not recieve your payment. Then by July 15,2009 if you have not recieved an answer or a payment then drop them. That is what I am going to do. We need to stop hoping that these people are for real and start calling them on it. Here is the email that I wrote. I hope everyone will follow and we can finally see who is real and who is not.

Email sent June 30, 2009 to Giga-mails admin:

Okay, I am getting a little frustrated here. It is now the 30th of June. I am a GOLD MEMBER, which you state in your FAQS, payment is recieved within 30 days of the following month, with GOLD MEMBERS BEING PAID FIRST. I should have gotten my $140,000 that I requested LAST MONTH ALREADY. I understand that sometimes there are technical difficulties but you should at least let your members know when there is one, and how long before they get paid. It is unfair to keep them waiting and not answering their emails like this. I have emailed who knows how many times with no answer from any of the admin. You cannot guarentee 100% satisfaction if you cannot give it. I am not satisfied 100% and I am sure that if you treat all your members this way then they are not 100% satisfied either. So I would really appreciate it if you could either pay me or at least give me an estimate on when my deserved payment with go through. I really do not want to quite this website but I will and I will take all my downline with me. As well as label yall a scam site and report yall. So please email me back or give me my payment.

Brandi


Please follow my example.

More Payment Requests

Okay, I made another payment request with Giga-mails.com. I really want to be confident in this site because they are promising and go so far to say that they will pay. I have not had any other site do that. Yes their admin sucks and I mean sucks but hey not everything is perfect. I have also seen some reputable companies like walmart and webroot advertise on this site. I honestly do not think that they would be dealing with a company that is a scam. If so then I will be happy to report them to the press. Anyways I did another payment request from giga-mails and this should come in next month. I am also going to try to wait until the first of the next month to request payments. I think if I wait until the first or middle of the month then I might get it faster. We shall see.

Giga-mails
Amount: $375,000
Request Date: June 29, 2009
Time for payment Reciept: 30 within the next month
Date of Payment: Before July 30, 2009

Payment Request Reviews

Here are the payment requests so far. I tried to do a countdown clock for each of them but that application just is not working. Therefore I am going to do this manually and update it when the month is over.

Giga-mails.com

Amount: $140,000

Payment method: paypal

Payment request date: May 27,2009

Payment reciept date: June 30,2009

Note: There policy is anyone who requests a payout during the current month will recieve it within 30 days of the next month. Upgraded members getting theirs first.

Link2Communion

Amount: $50,000

Payment method: check

Payment request date: May 27, 2009

Time for payout: 30 days

Payment reciept date: June 27, 2009

Note: Since this is check form, I will give them to the first of the month to recieve the check. I will make my decision then on whether or not I think they are a scam.

Red-Mails.com

Amount: $2.4 Million

Payment method: Paypal

Payment request date: June 23, 2009

Time for payout: 48 hours, 60-90 days or a reasonable time after

Payment Reciept date: August 23, 2009, September 23, 2009, or Never

Note: Since it has already been over the 48 hours and nothing has been recieved, I might get it on the dates above. However, because of the conflicting information on the website, I am already pretty much writing this off as a scam. At least in my mind. I have serious doubts about this website so we shall see.

Cashmails.org
Amount: $20,000
Payment method: paypal
Payment request date: June 6, 2009
Time for payment: Within 30 days of request
Payment Receipt date: July 6, 2009

I will be able to make my complete judgement by the middle of next month (except Red-mails.com). I am hoping that at least one of these sites are legit. If not then at least I will know and be able to tell the whole world to stay away from them. Sadly, everyone from all over the world is feeling the financial strain of today. This makes it even easier for other people to take advantage of people who honestly just want to be able to get out of the rut they are in. So hopefully this will shed some light on some of the sites. I will write a complete anaylsis of each site after the payment date has passed. So look for those here in the next week.

New PTR Sites

Since I have requested payments from most of the original sites, I have added a few new sites to test. As of right now I am going to do the minimium amount of work on the original sites to stay an active member. This way if they are legit, I will not have lost any earning. So here are the new group of sites that I am participating in.

247payouts.com
Emails $10
Banners (Pending)
Free member Payout: $5,000



This company just became public and are accepting new members. What makes them different is that payments are made within 72 hours of payment request instead of within 30 days. They have many members and they are always updating their payout page so this company looks promising. But as always we shall see.


Creativemails.biz
Emails $100
Banners $50
Free member payout: $30,000



This is a brand new company. It looks professional and the payout is not to bad compared to the websites. Now like the other companies you have to wait 30 days if you are a free member but that is no big deal. I am used to waiting by now. This is about all the information I have on this company right now. I am hoping, like all the rest that this will be a legit company. So we shall see.

Cashmails.biz is now Cashmails.org

Okay, I have an update on Cashmails.biz. They are now called Cashmails.org. So because of new information, I have deleted my one post about cashmails.biz being a scam. I still have not gotten a payment from them but the date is July 6th. So in light of the new information, the jury is still out on this website.

Email Me

I have seen lately that many people are joining many of the different ptr sites that I am apart of from this blog. I am very flattered and excited for everyone. Anyways, I would like people who join from this blog please email me which sites you have joined from this blog. This way I can always email people when the blogs are updated and correspond to see how other people are enjoying the websites. This will give me more feed back and a better prospective on these websites. I am really hoping that this blog is helping people either make money or at least stoping them from wasting money on ones that do not work. So please email me with at least your first name and which site you joined. I would really appreciate it.


EMAIL: ptrseries2009@gmail.com

Red-Mails payout request

Finally, I was able to do a payout request for red-mails. A whopping $2,400,000.00. Now this will either be the fastest or possibly the slowest payout if it is legit. One the homepage is says that payouts are made within 48 hours. When you read the faqs page it says anywhere from 60-90 days for free members so I dont know. I will laugh though if this one turns out to be legit. I am really really really skeptical of these high paying ones. But we shall see, I will let you know what I find.

Venting Session

Well it has not been long enough wait for me to make a decision about whether or not these sites are really a scam or a real opportunity. However, I hate the waiting and wondering if they are gonig to pay me. I have tried to contact the pay pal recepients that were shown on the getor-mails website with no avail and I also contacted one of the recipients on the giga-mails testimonials page with no avail either. It is just so frusterating. I am really hoping that these sites are for real. All I want to see is a screen shot of their payments. Why is it so hard for someone to show that this stuff is for real.

i am sure that all of us want to believe that. We are all looking for that one big break in todays's economy. Well my mission is to see if these things are for real. Any type of payment I get, whether it be check, pay pal or whatever, it will be shown on this blog. I like you want to know if these things are for real.

As I said before, I cannot make a decision about these websites just yet. I am still hopeful that at least one of these sites are for real.

Another PTR - Instant PTR, the one that pays you instantly

This one I could not pass up. This one is called instant PTR. It actually states that it will pay you instantly once you reach the minimum payout. This is for all members even free. The upgraded members dont have to wait until the minimum, they can request a payout whenever. Also the minimum payout is only $5,000. So I am going to try this one to see how it goes.

Instant PTR

Email - $10
Banner- $5
Minimum payout - $5,000
What makes it different - Supposed to payout instantly once you request payout.

Cashmails.Biz payment request

I requested a payment from Cashmails.biz. I am glad that I am finally able to start requesting payments from some of these sites. Hopefully I will start getting some payments soon so that I can put up screen shots, pics and videos of my payments. This request was for $20,000 and like always it says it will take up to 3o days for payment to be processed. So by July 8th I should get a payment. So we shall see.

Another Email Sent to Getor-Mails Members

I have sent another email to the members of Getor-mails.com that have been "paid." I had no reply the first time so I resent it with another subject heading. Maybe they thought that I was spam or something. I am hoping that these guys are for real. However if I do not hear anything from anyone, then I am going to suspect that these guys are making up email address for paypal payments just to look legit. I dont know, I hope not and I am not accusing, just giving my opinion. Well once I find out something I will definantly post my findings.

Getor-mails update.

Well, The two main sites that I am concerned about is Red-mails.com and Getor-mails.com. they both have a really high pay rate and payout request amount. They both pay $2000 per email and Red-mails has a payout minimium of 2.4million, Getor-mails, 8 million. Well luckily getor-mails sends out an email of all the payments sent during the last month. So I emailed the ones that I could to see if it is a legit site. So we shall see if anyone decides to email me back good or bad. We shall see.

Another PTR website- Proper PTR

I am participating on another website. Proper PTR. This one looks pretty legit. For one it is a registered company and it says total payout, not debits. There is a big difference between debits and payouts. Not to say that the websites that show debits are scams, it is just payout seems better to me. I am going to try this one to see how it goes.

Proper PTR
emails-$100
Banner-$100
Payout - $100,000

May in a Nutshell

Okay this month I have been able to request payouts from Giga-mails and Link2communion. So far I am really impressed with Giga-mails. I mean yes the admin does suck. They sometimes get back to me when I ask them a question, however, they have updated a lot of stuff on the website. So here are the totals for may

Giga-Mails - $140,000 total requested

Link2Communion - $50,0000 total requested

So by the end of June, I should have $190,000 if these sites are legit. So we shall see. Sometime in the next few months I will do a full analysis on each one that I have been affiliated with so that everyone can get an honest opinion on these sites and decide for themselves whether or not they want to be apart of them. Also I am hopping to add a link where people can post thier opinions and experiences with these sites so that we can have more than one point of view.

Link2 Communion Payment Request

I have finally got to the point on LInk2communion to request a payout. This is my second website to request a payment. As it says, I should recieve this payment in thirty days of today. So we shall see. As always I will keep everyone updated with each website.

Rolex Mails..Total Scam

Here is the first site that I am for sure is a scam. I have tried it with no result. They have a low $1000 payout which is awesome, however, you cant get your money. There is no payout request link and all the links in the redemption page are non existent, when you click on them, the link cannot be found. If you are a member of this site, I would say cancel the membership and tell everyone you know not to be a member of that site. It does not pay. I have emailed them three times asking them, pleading with them, even telling them that I will write this post, if they do not fix the problem and give me my money. So basically stay away from this site. And tell all others to stay away from this site.

Giga-Mails Update

Hey,

Yeah I know, it has been a while since I have been blogging. Things have been really busy lately. Well here is an update on Giga-mails. I actually purchased the membership. It was only $20. I know that sounds like "only" $20. I mean right now that could put some gas in my tank or buy a few groceries and with this economy you need to save all you can. Well the reason why I did it was because for one I really need to see if this works, our situation has gotten worse so its time to make or break with this one. However, THIS WILL NOT BE A REGULAR ACCOURANCE. I am going to be patient with the others to see if they are for real. Well I take that partially back. The Red mails, and Getor-mails I am going to pay just because each email is worth $2000, and the payouts are very high. But other than that, I am going to waith. I will also be posting some tips when this is all and done (if it works). Well I will let everyone know whether or not it is for real.

Giga-Mails Update

Well so far no payment but it has not been the full length of time to wait. However, there are a few things that I would like to put in giga-mails favor. THe administraters have been constintely updating the website. They have now added testimonails and updated the faq's page. The testimonials have both bad and good feed back which I think is great. Also the faq's page is more detailed. With each update they have stressed that they will pay you, no matter how long it takes. This to me suggests that they are going to great lenghts to show that they are not a scam site. So, I will give them the bennefit of the doubt. I believe that this site is a legit site. And I will support them until I find out otherwise.

Payments Requested

This portion of the blog is going to be where I have requested payments from the various PTR sites. As of right now I have requested a payment of $75,000 from Giga-mails. So hopefully within 30 days from now I will see that money within my pay pal account. Once payments are recieved they will be documented in the payments recieved label.

Vine Fire

Here is another little site that has gotten some interest and is (in my opinion) a pretty good tool when it comes to building down line on any online business opportunity. The big thing is whether or not Vinefire is a scam.

What is Vinefire?

Vinefire is a website that pays you for clicking, voting, and adding links to its website. You also get a daily earning limit. You can increase this limit by paying (of course) a small membership fee. So scam or no scam. As of right now I have no reason to believe it is a scam. It stats specifically that this site is in beta mode. This means that it is experimenting with the site to see if it is successful or can be successful in the long run. It then states that because of this it cannot pay until January 2010. Now there is talk about maybe getting payments in June, however it is also stated that there is no promise to that either.

Whether this is a scam or not, it is a great place to gain downline on your opportunity. Its great free advertising and it gives people an incentive (aka money) to view your link. The more views and votes your get, the more likely you will get someone to join your business opportunity.

So until January 2010, I am up in the air. I am going to continue to use this site and if I actaully obtain the money I make great, if not then it didnt cost me anything and I can tell people not to join it. In my opinoin it is a win win situation.

Introduction

Hello,

Let me introduce myself and my blog. I am a stay at home mom currently living in the middle of nowhere Montana. I have two boys, one the age of 22 months and a boy of a month old. Living off of one income is hard. However now a days with the economy it is even harder. Because of this the home business, business opportunity, online business has been booming. People everywhere are looking for ways of getting extra income. I myself have spent money and time on programs that "gaurentee" thousands of dollars in as little as one month, or that their program is the real deal. Well I have decided that I am going to try them and see which one is the real deal. As of right now I am involved in a few PTR websites and an email opportunity.

What Are PTR SITES?

For those who are not familiar with the PTR's let me explain. PTR or paid to read, are websites that actually pay people for reading advertisers emails and banners. Basically you are getting paid to look at spam emails lol. There are thousands out there, and more poping up everyday. These intriqued me because I am already online at least a couple hours a day and clicking on banners does not seem to take up much time. All of them you join for free. If you want extra bennefits you will have to pay a one time membership fee. These payment for reading these emails or clicking the banners can range anywhere from less than $0.01- to $2000. Also many of them have different minimuim payouts ranging from $100 to 4 million dollars (not kidding). If you want to have no minimuim payout or a lowered minimuim payout you have to pay the one time membership fee. So one has to ask which ones are legitimate and which ones are phony.

As of right now I am involved with a few PTR, a couple of them I am very close to receiving my first pay out so I will post those if and when I get them. With each site, I am a free member. I have vowed not to pay to get my money faster for there is no gaurentee that you are getting the money anyways. I am being patient and will reach the minimuim payout for each site. This way I can document for sure if they are paying me.

Current Sites in Review:

These are the sites that I am currently a member of and will be documenting progress of each throughout this blog. Hopefully some of these sites will turn out to be true and legitimate. But we shall see.

Giga-mails
$25,$5o, $100 per click
$25,$50, $100 per email
$75,000 minimuim payout for free members



Giga-mails right now is my favorite. They have provided lots of emails and banners to click on, which has made the earnings fun and pretty fast. I started this one in the beginning of March 2009 and I am about 2/3 the way to the minimum payout. So it has only taken me a little over two months to earn over "$50,000" hypothetically. We will see. Well so far the company has been really good. They have fixed glitches in a timely maner and has given bonus for inconvience. I have also researched to see if they were ever officially black listed and only one blog has commented so we shall see.

Link 2 Communion
$400 per email
$100 per banner click
$50, 000 payout



Link 2 Communion has been pretty good. They seem to be a reputable company and I personally have had no complications with them. The only thing is that most of my earnings have come from referals, around $250 a person. They have very few click banner ads and only 1-2 emails. So without referrals it would have taken me longer to get to the minimuim, $50,000. So far I am at about $25,000. So we shall see what happens with Link 2Communion .



Red Mails.com
$2000 emails
$1000 banner clicks
$2.4 million payout



Yeah I know this one looks to good to be true. I am right there with you. I have heard that this one is a little over the top. They have actaully been black listed but that was about a year or so ago. I have had a few issues with this one, some of the advertisers websites are spyware or virus. I have had to clean my computer alot with this website. However, since I am at "$900,000" I would just keep going. I am not loosing anything and if it is not paid then its not paid but at least I will know and be able to inform other people. Also, the advertising, ad numbers change drastically. IT went from 12 ads in rotation to 57. And the amounts change all the time. There is really no consistency with the advertising banners. This one I am very skeptical of and once I hit that $2.4 million, I will let you know if i get paid. Also because this one is kind of flighty Iwill be documenting its activity. So we will see.

Getor-Mails.com
$2000 Emails
$2000 Paid to Click
$8 million payout



This is another one that I am skeptical about. For one, I still can not believe that these companies will actually pay you $2000 to read emails. The advertising says that the webmaster is an honest webmaster. So we shall see. The site does provide many emails a day. So far there are at least 5 emails to read everyday. Also there are at least 5 paid to click banners. So it should not take to long for me to reach the limit. However, for this one I might actually pay the membership fee just to see if it works. It will take a long while to get to the free member payout. So we shall see.


Cashmails.biz
$100 emails
$25 banner clicks



This company is fairly new. I just started with them a couple of weeks ago so my analysis is still new. They seem to be a very professional company. They are consistent with their emails and they do resolve any problems that occur. ONce I have been with this company a while longer I will give another assestment.


BuxPTR
$100 emails
$25,0000 payout



This company really interests me. It is the only one that actually advertises the name of the creator. It also has a bunch of different bonuses like thier own card and business check for form of payment. IT seems to be a relaible company. However as always this remains to be seen. So far I am hopeful that this is reputabel company.


These are the companies so far that I have been working with. I will be blogging on the progress every day and document any other companies that I have joined. So far these are pretty good and if all works out. I will be making a lot of money.
