Over the years, many earning opportunities have popped up on the web, one of the most notable being Paid-To-Read (PTR) programs. These guys supposedly pay you to read emails which are sponsored by their advertisers. Sounds like a good enough plan. The only problem there is; the advertisers pay little, and in order to make profits, the payments made to members are peanuts. Many of us got on the PTR train, and after seeing the general destination, got off as fast as we could. They just don't pay well enough to stress yourself over them. The ones who promise above 5 cents per mail are probably frauds. The ones who promise $10 per email are DEFINITELY frauds.
Sadly, lots of people still join these programs, and they learn the hard way. At the price of 0.05 cents per mail (like many of them pay), how many months will it take to accumulate even $10?
All the same, it acts like a baptism of fire for the new online earning converts, and they generally leave these programs smarter and more internet savvy.
Other money-making schemes have overtaken these PTRs and they will probably just fade away naturally over time. Programs like some paid-to-post and "blogging for cash" programs pay by far better, and seem to be more sustainable.
There are a couple of "paid to blog" programs which I am checking out, and I when finish, I will write about them.
