PTC online earning platforms are also known as paid-to-click programs. These are online platforms where people can earn by clicking on ads and performing various tasks such as doing surveys, offers, watching videos, playing games, testing apps, and so forth. They offer both free and paid memberships, and include additional income earning incentives such as bonus ads, and incentive rewards for promoting the program on social media platforms. They have a referral system which enables people who have joined these online programs to earn additional income by referring new members. When referrals click on ads or complete tasks, a percentage of the earnings becomes your passive income.
Referral commission is the most attractive feature of these paid-to-click programs because members can significantly increase their earning potential by using various strategies and resources to build a large network of direct referrals.
It is recommended to build a large network of direct referrals rather than purchase rented referrals which are usually bots from 'click farms' that become inactive, irregular, or just don't even click once from the date of purchase. Oftentimes, members do not see a return on their investment by purchasing rented referrals, nor a return on their investment in an upgrade if they do not have a large network of active direct referrals.
Direct referrals can also become inactive or irregular and so purchasing an upgrade always involves risk in terms of seeing a return on your investment. One way to safeguard against loss, especially if members invest in upgrades, is to use various digital marketing strategies to replenish and build a network of direct referrals so as to maintain an optimum level of potential earning. One such strategy is forum marketing.
Forum marketing is an indispensable promotional strategy in paid to click.
By connecting with members in 'make money forums and social bookmarking sites, you have immediate access to a relevant audience that you can access to drive traffic to your referral programs. By regularly participating in discussions and offering insights and strategic approaches to help others earn and to help safeguard them against scam and fraud; you can build trust and credibility among the community members and build your reputation as expert.
Forum marketing is one way to build a following which will allow you to generate high quality traffic to current and future referral programs in paid to click ( and basically, in any money making opportunity you promote online.) In this respect forum marketing is similar to blogging in social media platforms to build a following, to become an Influence'r in the community, to generate high quality traffic to your referral links, to secure a long-term solution to redirecting search engine traffic to your links, to secure a long-term solution for generating potential leads or potential direct referrals for your programs or offers. These are the objectives or goals you should strive to achieve in order to make real money online from various income opportunities in various income streams.
A single income opportunity can lead to multiple income streams.
When promoting online you should think long-term objectives rather than short-term objectives to build a successful online business and cash flow. Traffic generation is the 'lifeline' of a successful online business. Securing and maintaining a constant flow of traffic to your links or online business is the measure of success that will determine your online earning potential.
This is why forum marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, referral marketing (person-to-person marketing), and content marketing (posting in product review sites and submitting articles to article submission sites) are all indispensable and crucial strategies to use in order to promote your link (product, service, offer) and to build your online reputation and following.
Your online reputation (as a trustworthy and informed source) is the ultimate measure of success in all marketing strategies because it guarantees you a following of potential customers in affiliate marketing and potential direct referrals in paid to click. Furthermore, the followers and customers in both paid to click and affiliate marketing becomes an exclusive sales asset by continuing to promote on your behalf. As in recommendations these followers may offer to others, or as in direct referrals they will add to their up-line which is your downline (or second-tier level of direct referrals.) Thereby, these followers enable your network of direct referrals to expand exponentially.
By joining the right forum and by building a reputation, you are on your way to securing success as an online entrepreneur (whether it be in paid to click or affiliate marketing.) You have the available means and resources to secure long-term solutions to two vital criteria that will make it possible for you to build a successful online business. Firstly, how do you generate organic search engine traffic (which is what is meant by 'high quality traffic'). And secondly, how do you generate prospective 'leads' or potential customers/direct referrals.
Build a strong following; establish your reputation as an expert or 'Influencer' to maintain a momentum of 'lead' generation. Attach your content and signature style to forums, social media, article submission, product review and any such similar platforms. In doing this, you generate backlinks and secure long-term organic search engine traffic to your links or website.
I have explained and detailed the benefits of back-linking in a previous article, but for the sake of continuity here's a brief recap.
These mega platforms are in themselves mini search engines. They already have a highway of relevant 'target audiences' to directly promote your link or product. This is why it is not enough to simply blog. You should build connections and a strong rapport to other members on the platform by including 'chit chat' and participating in other discussions, agreeing, disagreeing, agree to disagree, sympathize, empathize, illuminate, clarify, exemplify, and provide genuine insight, advice and 'food for thought' (contemplation and consideration.) These are the building blocks of forming relationships and build a 'rapport' (or communication) with others.
Secondly, the goal is to build a following and to build your reputation as a valuable source for the community members and the high quality reputation of the forum itself. These followers will become a source of potential marketers which may extend to connections they have with members on other forums or in other communities such as in social bookmarking sites.
Thirdly, these various platforms (forum, social media, article submission, product review) already have achieved a 'trustworthy' reputation and a high Google Authority. A Google Authority is a score assigned by search engines for the credibility or 'trustworthy reputation' of the site. Thus it is by your association (via direct participation in discussions, forming connections, cross promoting and regularly posting content creation) that you can gain a 'trustworthy' reputation for your website that is linked to the content in these mega networks.
To receive a 'score' or a Google Authority from search engine crawlers that find these ''backlinks'' between your website link in the content posted or in the 'profile' or 'bio' sections in these mega-search engine platforms; this is how you secure the success of your online store or website.
The On-page SEO for your website and each web page within your website is the 'icing on the cake'. The 'cherry on top of the icing' is the boost of organic traffic search engines will redirect to your site and links as a reward for achieving a Google Authority (a high quality reputation.)
The Google Authority is achieved by the Off-page SEO (promoting and building brand in forums, social media, article submission and product review sites); and the On-page SEO (using the right keywords, optimizing your content using keywords and optimized features such as the proper header title tags H1 to H6, adding the SEO details in the back office such as optimized titles, optimized excerpts, optimized meta descriptions, and by adding additional advanced SEO details such as schema code in the header or footer sections in the HTML section).
The Benefits of Forum Marketing: A Digital Marketing Strategy
You have achieved the extra 'pull' of organic traffic from a mega networking platforms which naturally generate this highly sought after 'high-quality search engine traffic' for itself, and it is redirect long-term traffic to your website.
You have gained or improved the Google Authority to boost the visibility of your website in the SERP (search engine result pages). Improving the Google Authority of your website (blog, downline builder) is 'nothing to sneeze at!' A higher authority means that your website will appear in the front pages of the search engine result pages (SERP). It's one of the best ways to compete in the online marketplace; to beat the competition from similar niche websites, or to have the privilege to secure a seat at the table with big business.
You have a network of real people (a following) as a future workforce to market your products.
Forum Marketing Strategies also apply to Social Media Marketing
You can apply the same strategy you have in forums to a blog post in social media. It is a worthwhile application that could considerably increase your earning potential in various ways.
If you can build a network of followers in forums and communities, then why not build a similar network to market your product or niche as well as supplement online earning potential by participating in the platform revenue share program in social media. Some memberships are free; others require a paid membership to earn from revenue share. Nevertheless, it is worth paying the fee of a membership to simultaneously promote your niche and build a second side hustle.
Social media platforms reward members with a strong following (the number of followers varies for different social media channels) a percentage of the money these platforms generate from paid advertising which is the platforms "bread and butter" (the platform's source of income.) The more followers you have, the more views will be received by the ads posted alongside your content. More followers means more exposure for the platforms paid advertising program. You help the platform build its reputation for advertising, and in turn the platform pays you a percentage of their revenue. This percentage is called 'revenue share' and its passive income for you.
As in social media marketing, in forum marketing it is possible to achieve the reputation of an expert and have become an Influence-r to promote the ultimate brand online which is your 'expertise.'
However, as an Influence-r in social media marketing, new income opportunities become possible in paid advertising. Companies and Brand owners search for online promoters to boost sales and find new customers.
Similarly in both social media marketing and forum marketing, you can achieve 'lead generation (generating potential customers and re-targeting) on three levels and create your own personal brand of marketing style.
You promote directly, your network of followers promote indirectly, and you cross promote with other Influence'rs.
By applying forum marketing to blogging in social media you can succeed in building multiple income streams.
You are selling your product (for example, free memberships in PTC, or third-party products in affiliate marketing) as one income stream.
You have achieved in monetizing your presence by building a large network of followers to receive a second income from the platform revenue share program.
And finally, you have achieved the ultimate success of becoming a brand expert and marketing your own style as a promoter to become a professional sponsor for big businesses.
"The sky's the limit" (or the opportunities are endless) in regard to what further new income opportunities may stem from an initial online endeavor. For example, many online entrepreneurs have become motivational speakers, or they have become bestselling authors for publishing their strategies and insightful advice. One example is Steve Chou.
Don't underestimate the power of using marketing strategies to build a successful online career and secure a real second income from all the work you do online. And to quote Bo Bennett who is a reknown author, entrepreneur and educator,
Affiliate marketing has made businesses millions and ordinary people millionaires.
Bo Bennett is an American screenwriter who is also a social psychologist and author of several bestselling books. His point of view and deeply insightful comment in the quote above can be applied to any venture to make money online.
Participants in paid to click who are are serious about earning a realistic income from PTC need to shift their mind set to that of an advertiser in affiliate marketing. In doing so, users promoting these online earning platforms can maximize their earning potential on the platform while simultaneously generating multiple income streams using digital marketing strategies to build their network of direct referrals.
The money in paid to click is in the advertising and marketing rather than in clicking ads and doing tasks.
And the money in PTC is most assuredly NOT in purchasing upgrades and NOT in renting referral bots. Don't be fooled by the earning calculators which are a common feature in most PTC 'free money scam' sites. You will discover for yourself, that legit sites or 'elite sites' do not include earning potential calculators.
In contrast to free-money scam sites, legit sites provide reward incentives for members on their earning platform to advertise and market their referral link to boost their earnings as members on the platform, as well as to boost the paid advertising and revenue features in surveys, offerwalls, staking altcoins (and so forth) which is the Site Owner or Faucet Owner's source of passive income.
And this why, as you see an increase in the number of members joining a legit site, you also notice the addition of new money-making features and a subsequent increase in incentive rewards by site and faucet owners who want to secure the stability and longevity of their online business. For 'free money scam sites and faucets' a surge of new members on the platform is usually followed with a decrease in the click value of ads and scarcity of additional income earning opportunities for members.
This explains why 'free make money scam sites' (or poorly managed sites and faucets) unexpectedly shut down, unexpectedly suspend upgraded members, issue fake payments, and so forth. These paid to click platforms are not equipped to survive change or they are ponzi schemes that cost participants' valuable time, effort and money. To paraphrase, poorly managed and free money scam sites and faucets are not equipped for change, stability and viability.
If participants have invested money on scam or poorly managed sites and faucets it is unlikely that they will see a profitable return on their investment for upgrades and rented referrals. This is why it is highly recommended to work with the free membership plan. Poorly managed sites are not scams, but the end result is the same.
Final Thoughts
The test of time is the best way to safeguard against unnecessary or unforeseen financial loss. Implementing digital marketing strategies such as networking in communities and forums is the second best way to safeguard against scams and the 'hidden costs and hidden risks' in paid to click earning platforms.
And, forum marketing (as one example of digital marketing) is one of the best ways to get referrals in PTC and secure long-term traffic and new leads (new members) in paid to click.
