Making your
own Payment Proof
The Basic Necessities
Use a valid email address - You will
always want to have a valid email address to use
when you sign up to a Pay To site. This is so that
the website can contact you with inquiries about
your account if needed. Also, some PTC sites require
a valid email in order for your payments to be
accepted. Another thing you will need your email
address for is your payment processing site. For
example, on AlertPay
you will need a valid email address in order to sign
up for an account.
A AlertPay account - Most Pay To sites use
AlertPay as their preferred payment method. This is
because it is the easiest of the payment processors
to use in many peoples' opinion. Although with
AlertPay's recent rampage against PTC websites, we
don't expect this payment processor to last long.
The TitanCash network will be releasing a Payment
Processor soon. Many people feel that this will be
the best option as far as an alternative for
AlertPay.
Getting Started
Do Your Homework - It is always
good to know at least a little bit about a \"Pay
To\" site before you join it. Usually, knowing about
a site, and it's owners and staff, can help you
determine whether you want to join it, or stay away
for fear of it being a scam. If you know a bit about
the owner, you can usually make a good judgement on
whether or not its going to turn to a scam. Also, a
lot of scammers start more than one site, so, see if
the owner of the site you are joining owns any other
site, and see if they are in good standing. If they
are scams, chances are that site is as well.
Read The Terms of Service - You will need
to know at least a little bit about the Terms of
Service each site provides for their members. Always
skim over this and check for irregularities and
rules that you might not know about so that you dont
accidentally break them without knowing.

How to not get
scammed
Here are a few simple things to prevent
getting scammed.
Follow them closely, they are very accurate and will
help you in the long run.
1.
Don't Join Non-Customized Sites
When finding a new site, look at the layout, is it
good, or bad?
This may not seem like a key factor, but it most
definately is.
If the layout is very bad(visually), they probably
didn't put much time into it.
This means they either can't design, or just don't
care.
Also if they are running the same old "bux" layout
with a new banner, keep away.
You want to find a site that is custom and in it for
the long haul.
If they were in it for the long haul they would make
their site unique.
2.
Don't Join Sites Of Past Scammers
If the site owner is known to of scammed in the
past, don't join.
The site owner may have an excuse or decided to
"change his ways", but don't buy it.
If they have scammed once, they will scam again,
don't take the risk, ever.
3.
Don't Purchase Anything
<-- Important!
If you find a new site that seems to look okay and
your considering purchasing something, don't.
If the site is brand new with no real userbase or
even payment proofs, don't join.
Even if you hear people sing praises about getting
payments, don't.
Most scam sites pay out tons and tons quickly right
away, then it just stops.
Let the site be online for at least 1.5-2 months
before purchasing to be safe.
4.
Don't Use Sites Without Support/Forums
If the site doesn't have a good support system or
forums where an admin is active, don't use it.
This is the key way users and admins speak to each
other and if it doesn't exist, they don't care.
You should be able to get in contact with the owner
within 48 hours at any time.
Hope this helps those looking to invest/join in
sites.
If you follow these rules religiously you will never
be scammed, ever.

Gaining Referrals
Your part of a PTC and your trying to get people
to join using your ref link, sounds easy enough but
you realise eventually that there are many other
people in the same situation trying to get people to
join via their ref links also, so how do you get an
edge above the rest? Follow some of these tips and
your sure to have some more ref's in no time.
Blogs/Websites
With this, all you do is create a website or blog
and post your referral links on there, give a
description of each site and then advertise your
blog or website anywhere you can from your myspace,
online forums etc... to attract visitors.
If you want an example check out my website/blog.
Online Forums
If your a member of an online forum (like this one
for example) you can do many things to help
advertise your ref links:
- Place referral links in your signature
- Create a post containing your referral links
(if need be explain what ptc is)
- Link the WWW under your avatar to your
blog,forum post,website or other
- If it's an online forum where people can
donate money either directly to the forum or to
a site the forum is a part of (like a game site
or similar) and someone asks about how they can
earn money without donating their own money
either mention your website/blog or post about
what ptcs are and your ref links
Now things are different from forum to forum (such
as the type of forum it is and the rules of those
forums) so just make sure what and where your
posting is ok with the rules of the forums before
you post and whatever you do, don't try to hide that
the links people are joining with are your referral
links.
Recommend people you actually know
This might not be the best of ideas or appropriate
in some situations but if you know some people out
there who might like the idea of PTC then tell them
about it and maybe tell them about your blog,
website, forum post etc...
Email
Send an email to everyone you know who might like
the PTC idea, of course don't go spamming people and
make sure you use the appropriate etiquette (be nice
etc...)
Live chat programs (Online chat rooms, Msn
etc...)
Now advertising your referrals in IM programs and
online chat rooms can get a lot of peoples attention
but again make sure you use the appropriate
etiquette and your not breaking rules by spamming
etc...
Advertising in the real world
Things like creating flyer's and popping them in
letterboxes, create flyer's and whacking them on
public notice boards, advertising in newspapers
etc... Anyway you can advertise in the real world
can help but again make sure its appropriate and you
obey any laws in your area etc...
PTC (and other types) advertisement
If your a part of a ptc you might as well try
advertising using that ptc, you can use
money-earning PTC's like Advercash or Ad-only PTC's
like Cashwebs but when you advertise you may think
using your ref link may be a good idea but generally
its not since most people clicking on a PTC are
already be a member of that ptc (and don't advertise
your ref link for a site on the
same
site) so what you can try is creating a site that
will get peoples attention like your blog etc...
And that was my guide to getting more referrals, i
would appreciate constructive criticism and praise.
If there is anything else you think you could add to
this guide please tell me, ill add it and give you
credit for your contribution.

How to take a
screenshot of your payment
Taking screenshots from
your payments or others is not so difficult. After
the 1st or 2nd time, it will take you only 5
minutes. Lets see how we can do it.
After we open the page with the details of the
transaction on AlertPay,
we press the key Print screen or on other
Keyboards PRNTSCRN.

Then we go to our Microsoft programs and open the
Paint (Formerly PaintBrush).

We go to Edit and Paste.
Now all our screen is before us. But it is too big
hey?
So we press this lil tool (from these 2 the one on
the right)
And we select the piece of the image that we want.
We start by the up and left corner of the area we
want, press the left mouse button and keep it
pressed,
and slowly move the mouse to the right and
down.....until we have the piece we want.
OK. Now we press copy, then go to File,
New and we open a new image.
There we paste the piece we selected before, and we
choose the eraser from the tools
and we erase some characters or all from the
transaction ID and our AlertPay e-mail.
Just we point the mouse arrow on them
carefuly
and press the left button and draw the
arrow to the right over the characters we want to
erase.
Slowly and
carefuly the first time until you get use to
it
Now we are ready to save as.. Choose jpg
format, it is smaller in KB than the others.
Now we must find a Host to upload our image.
Go to
photobucket
or
imageshak and make a free account.
After that you can upload your images and have them
all in an albulm.
The host will give you many links for your uploaded
image.
Examples of how your image will be when you post it.
If you use the Direct Link you get this.

If you use the "Thumbnail size" You get
this(imageshak)

How you put the link to posts ? You paste it and
then you select it and press the "Insert image"
button.
Or you can first press the button and paste the link
between the 2 tags. ([img].{/img])
The Thumbnail size link you simply copy and paste it
So, now come on, go and get your screen shots, not
only from payments but from whatever you want on
your screen
