PTC EXPLORATIONS

This article will attempt to cover my journey into the world of Paid-To-Click (PTC) sites and programs. It is not intended for the PTC experienced but more on the people who knows very little or nothing about PTC, or maybe, just a beginner like me.

I am actually still new in this industry and my curiosity about them was aroused by a post in one of the facebook sites for networking people. The person posted a proof of payment from this site called xxxxxx.com (I am hiding the name of the site for now until I have fully confirmed its legitimacy). His earning? It is a whooping  $109 in just one day after he upgraded his membership from Free to Mega Investor by paying $299! Now, that is really something if he continues to earn that much everyday and by the 30th day, he would be getting $300+! Isn't that tempting?

It is, so I immediately signed up for free on that site and started clicking advertisements. In five days time, I have accumulated a balance of $30. Not bad huh, since I only spent about 30 minutes each day clicking away.

Before I go further into my journey, let me share with you some insight about PTCs:

How Does A PTC Site Work

Usually every PTC site comes with a number of ads which you have to click on in order to earn the money.

Every ad presented in your members area can be clicked only once in 24h. After you‘ve clicked on the ad you will have to wait a number of seconds in order to receive the credits. In the most common situations you will have to wait 30s.

At the end of those 30s, in the top left side of your browser window will appear a small icon which may vary from one PTC to another: a checkmark or a dollar sign… something like in the following picture:

When that kind of icon shows up it means you will receive your money, but there are cases when a red button/sign appears showing that somehow you missed the credit for that ad (this happens sometimes when you have more than one browser windows opened in the same time):

Anyway, to be sure that you will receive the credits for every ad you click, all you have to do is check carefully the TOS for each PTC site.
If you respect their rules you will most certainly receive your credits and also credits from your referrals work.

Going back to my journey, I stumbled into a couple more of PTC sites and signed up for free. You see, I chose the free ones only as I was still experimenting on them.

REFERRALS

I began promoting xxxxxx.com on facebook and twitter with hope of getting referrals and earn more. By the way, you can also earn from PTCs by recruiting members as your downline. For every recruit or referral you get to sign up, they give you some bonus, say $2, depending on the generosity of the site and you also get a commission from the activities like clicks and purchases of your downlines. So just like in pyramiding system, you earn more when you have more downlines.

HOW DO THESE PTC SITES PAY YOU?

Most of these PTC sites use Online Payment systems, like Papal, Payza, Egopay, SolidTrustPay, etc, to either pay you or receive payments from you. If you are not enrolled in any of them, you'd better have one before joining any PTC site.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT ON HOW TO DETECT A SCAM PTC

"You can easily tell if a website is an instant scam. If it doesn't have a forum, that means they can do whatever they want with your account and no one will notice it. 

On the other hand if they have a forum, you can post your problems and admin should help you, if not, your unsolved problem is visible to the public. 

Also, if a PTC site consistently mis-spells words in it's content, you can see you are not dealing with professionals and I would avoid that site.

The web design is another sign of how serious is the admin. If you see a default script design, avoid that website because that means the admin doesn't have enough money to pay you. A sign of poor budget of a PTC is also reflected in domain in hosting. Neither of these should be free! If that admin doesn't have money to buy a professional domain, where would he get the money to pay his/her members?

The key of every PTC is it's sustainability. If a PTC gives $0.01 per click, 50% for referral click and sells 1000 visits for $5 that's unsustainable! (1000*0.01)+(1000*0.01*50%)=15$ which means they don't profit from the ads at all, and just want to get members money by selling premium memberships.

Also don't forget to do some google research, if you find more than 3 sources telling a site is scam, then probably it is." - earn.biz

PTC Review Sites

Seven days into my journey I continued researching on these PTCs and also looked for independent reputable reviewers of PTC sites. Here is just two of them:

CONCLUSION:

Overall, there are PTC Sites that really pays you for just clicking advertisements, or when you recruit members (Referrals) to their site. You just need to be patient in researching about the reputation of a PTC site before joining it.

PS - I will be updating this blog as I gain more experience and knowledge about PTC and share with you my successes (or temporary setbacks) so you too, can benefit from it. Wish me luck!

Ang Fraternity at Sorority - Tribute to ZEAL Reunification

Ano ba tunay na kahulugan at layunin ng fraternity at sorority? Ito ba ay isang samahan para sa sosyalan lamang? Samahang palakasan, pakisigan, pagandahan, paramihan ng pera, atbp? Ito ba ay pinasok mo dahil ikaw ay mahina, duwag, bobo, pangit, konti lang ang kaibigan, atbp., para mapunuan ang iyong kakulangan sa pisikal at katauhang katangian?

Ikaw ba ay sumali rito para mamayagpag at ipagmalaki na ikaw ay malakas, matalino, mapera, makisig, maganda, o kaya'y seksi kaya dapat ka nilang igalang, sambahin, at katakutan? Umanib ka ba rito para makahingi lang ng tulong subalit di ka naman tumutulong sa kanila? Kasama ka sa ginhawa at saya, pero sila lang ang sa hirap, at lungkot?

Tatanungin kita Kapatid: Gusto mo ng tulong sa frat/sor mo? May nagawa ka na ba, o kaya'y may ginagawa ka na?

Sabi nga ng isang sikat na presidente ng US (tama ba un?): Do not ask your country what it can do for you, but ask what you can do to help! (hindi eksaktong kataga)

Ang tunay na Kahulugan at Layunin ng fraternity at sorority ay Kapatiran. Hindi ko na tanda ang mismong mga kataga ng panata, konstitusyon at batas ng fraternity na aking inaniban noong ako ay nasa kolehyo pa pero ang lahat ay natanim sa aking puso at kaluluwa - at lalong pinagtibay at pinag-init ito ng panahon ng pagsasamahan namin ng aking mga kapatid sa fraternity/sorority na akin sinamahan.

Hayaan mong ibulalas ko ang aking saloobin, pagkaka-intindi at karanasan ko sa fraternity, Kapatid - ZEAL STYLE! 

Ang fraternity/sorority ay isang Kapatiran ng mga estudyante at alumni na ang mga pangunahing layunin ay ang mga sumusunod (di ayon sa pagka-importansya): 1) Hubugin ang iyong pagkatao para maging matatag, responsable, at tunay na kapaki-pakinabang na mamamayan ng ating bayan, 2) Hikayatin at tulungan kang ilabas, ibuhos at ibahagi ang lahat nang iyong karunungan at Galing sa kapatiran para sa isang maunlad at mabungang kapatiran, 3) Magkaroon ng kapatid at kapamilya na kasinghulugan na rin ng iyong kadugo at tunay ng pamilya,  4) Hikayatin kang maging aktibo sa larangan ng pakikipag-tulungan, sa abot ng iyong kakayahan, para sa mga higit na nanganga-ilangan ng tulong, 5) Bigyan ka ng salag laban sa mga mapang-api, mapang-abuso, at lahat nang katiwalian at kalupitan sa mundong ito, at ang pang-huli pero pinaka-imporante sa lahat - 6) Aalagaan at Ipaglalaban mo ang karangalan, katatagan at pagka-buo (UNITY)  ng iyong fraternity/sorority!

Maaring ang brotherhood/sisterhood ay mapuno ng maraming hindi pagkaka-intindihan pero hanggang nai-isip ng bawat isa ang kapakanan ng brotherhood - walang imposible para mabuo ang kapatiran!

Sa madaling salita (sa aking pananaw) - ang fraternity/sorority na sinamahan ko ay di lang panandalian (temporary), kundi panghabangbuhay.

Once a ZEAL alway a ZEAL!

God bless ZEAL!

Living a Poor Life

Sometimes you have to live a poor man's life to see the many inadequacies in their lives. 

 You immerse yourself among them and you immediately feel and realize how life had been mistreating them. Do that and you will see that it is not their fault why they are in their current plight. Most of them didn't have any choice. How could that be?

How were they raised as children?
 Why are they living below the standard that average people normally do? Not many people really know the correct answer.but sensible and serious thinking people would easily give the answer as "it is the lack or absence of quality and proper education." Don't blame their parents - for they were in the same predicament when they were still being raised too. There are exceptions to the case, however, when a poor family is able to survive and change their living condition for better. But, such is always not the case. And whose fault is it, if you may ask? Well, good question. Its the government and the rich people.

Uneducated Person have very little chance to Prosper. How can a government overlook this? Our country could have been very proud when an article showed, way back in late 90's,  that Kuwait citizens have only less than 10% literacy compared to us which was ~90% then. Don't be misled, my friends, literate is totally different from educated and skilled! Literate can only understand what you are saying or what he/she is reading but, they may not know what to do with the information that they received! Educated and skilled  - means they can convert into productive means what they comprehend!

Decades of Government Inefficiencies and neglects! Our governments, for many decades now, have continued to fail to address the issue of education. That our governments, even after Marcos' downfall, failed to address this old issue is truly unforgivable and mind-boggling! Our governments also grossly failed to provide the basic services that are very much needed by the poor in order to survive this cruel world without even physically dying, but suffer mentally and morally!

Try talking to the poorest of the poor and you find that many of them are very lacking in values or even the proper conduct a properly educated person would normally show. Of course, there are still too many educated people who do not use what they have learned and act just like most of the poorest, or maybe, even worst. They don't have the right values and that is still a case of lacking in proper education!

The poor people suffer the most from the inefficiencies of our government. The rich people will hardly mind a heavy traffic in their air conditioned cars as much as the ordinary and the poor who either walk, take a bike, ride a tricycle, in a public bus without air condition unit, or even in a jeep! The ordinary and the poor gets intoxicated by all the smoke belchings and nauseating smells when they go out of their not so comfortable shanties. They are the ones who get a heavy body and buttocks massage by the heavily damaged roads, or worst - accidentally fall in an uncovered manhole or canal. The rich people will not befall these kinds of tragedies because they buy their foods and clothing's from air conditioned malls and supermarkets!

Look around you and you easily see how many of the Filipinos are improperly educated, or didn't have the education.

 Spitting anywhere, littering here and there - you can never see a piece of land that has no litter, urinating anywhere, vandalizing just about anything, zigzagging and over-speeding cars, trucks, jeepneys and buses, illegal squatting, bad manners, improper use of toilets making it inconvenience for the next user to use , abusive and corrupt public officials, rebels, bandits, kidnappers, robbers, killers, etc. Aren't these purely and very strong signs of a country having improper or lacking in education?

Our country is going down the drain and only the corrupt government officials and very few rich people will survive.Somebody must do something concrete and fast to avert our country's eventual destruction because of poor education!

Come to think of it, most of the answers to the questions below boils down to one thing: Lack of Education!

Why do we need so many traffic aids?
Why is Subic bay able to successfully implement traffic rules?
Why do we have to build overpasses, even in front of barangay halls, but allow people, even little school children, to cross the street right under them?
Why is the DSWD allowing beggars to roam the streets and public places and beg for alms? Aren't they supposed to be kept at the DSWD and trained for a livelihood, send them to school, and give them a work?
Why is there a need to give pork (PDAF) to the legislators when their job is supposedly to create law only?!
Why is the justice in our country too slow and how come every new chief justice is not addressing this issue?
Why are the heavily damaged roads continued to be unrepaired for so long a period of time?

Possible source of fund to improve our education system..P

Why don't the government start levying taxes on jeepney drivers, taxis, market vendors, stall and meat/fish/garments vendors in malls like target malls, etc., even for 5% or so of their income? This move will surely generate big revenue for the government and use it to improve the lives of poor families!

Amazing Examples to Emulate! When I went to the USA sometime late 90's I experienced two amazing incidents that are worth sharing here. Tingin ko matagal pa bago natin matularan ito at the rate our country is doing:

1. Our first morning in Dallas, Texas, 1996. I got up much earlier than my colleagues and was ready to go. While two of my colleagues were still taking a bath, I took our rental car and went around to survey the vicinity and try to familiarize myself around so I would know where to buy our foods later that night when we get back from our training. I came into a rotonda with a traffic light that was blinking the Orange light (meaning - proceed with care) because it was still around 6:45 AM then. There were three cars in queue to the intersection so I took my queue too. The cars proceeded one at a time, I noted. When I reached the corner I made a full stop myself and looked around. I noticed that all other cars from other intersection corners were on full-stop mode and only one car was proceeding each time - alternately and counter-clockwise. Curious, I looked around to see if there was a police who was manning the traffic and was awed to find there was none! What a self discipline those American drivers showed me that it left me jaw dropped!

2. My first day too in California, February 1s997, and I was driving our rented car, as usual because I was the only one who could drive then - with me are my two colleagues, going to our training site. We notice there was a slight build-up of traffic although it was not really heavy. We found out later that there was a streetlight post that was knocked down - probably due to an early morning accident. First day of our training was done and we got out out the training site at exactly 5:00 PM. Well, what do you know? We found the toppled streetlight post as having fully erected just like nothing happened several hours earlier. Dito sa Pinas, malamang itatabi lang yan para di makasagabal sa traffic pero tumba pa rin at mas malamang na abutin pa ng isang buwan bago maitayo muli. Sus!

Recurring issues. These problems seem to repeat themselves over and over again because no one is really there to provide the needed direction. Our governments are are always too busy polishing their image and parrying assaults from left and right because they are always unprepared for the position. The left and the right wing blocks are always there attempting to grab the power from our government because governments, old and new alike, are always treating them with kid gloves! They even release convicted coup plotters (and make them senators too!) and plunderers just to appear as reformists. Only in the Philippines!

May pag-asa pa ba ang Pilipinas? Since Marcos was was overthrown wala pa rin nangyari at patuloy tayong palubog! Iniwan na tayo ng Vietnam, Indonisia, India, atbp na pawang dati nang nag-aral sa atin! Ngayon, yung IRRI na datii nating pinagmamalaki ay na-kopya na ng mga bansa ito at mas pina-unlad pa nila. Tinuruan natin sila noon pero tayo na ngayon ang kulelat!

May babangon pa kayang maayos na lider natin na gagabay sa atin tungo sa tamang LANDAS?  Wala na bang Jose Rizal na muling magpapa-siklab ng ating buhay?

I have little confidence in president P-Noy but, I'm willing to give him a chance, and pray hard that he succeeds and stand up to his promises.I sincerely hope, that the lost of other better qualified candidates to him during the recent election would be justified. If he fails, then we will be in a very sorry state until year 2016!

Where do we go from here? Bottom line, we need to grow and train our future generations by giving them the proper education. Let EDUCATION be a mandatory requirement for each and every child. Foremost in the education is teaching them the right VALUES and PATRIOTISM  for our country!

Sulong, Pilipinas!

The Importance of a United San Lorenzo South

January 02, 2011
San Lorenzo South
Santa Rosa City, Laguna

There is no significance how big and populated a subdivision is if the phases in it are not united. With over 5,000 residents and homeowners, San Lorenzo South subdivision is composed of seven phases - with Phase 1C sharing four phases. The subdivision is so big that it is subdivided into five barangays, namely; Balibago, Dita, Dila,,Pulo and Malitlit.

As a result, which barangay government really implements peace and order, maintains the infrastructures, and provides the necessary public welfare services  in San Lorenzo South is truly confusing and chaotic. Who disciplines the abusive owners of commercial establishment along the main roads? The tricycle drivers are one to discipline too but no one is taking pains to do it because TODA is so big it encompasses three phases of the subdivision with different homeowners' association that are not united to each other. Crimes, big and small,  happen in each of these phases but it is bound to be repeated all over again because there is no coordination among the phases and no central governing body to monitor and implement peace and order within! Come election and campaign period the subdivision becomes the battle ground for the aspiring candidates and re-electionists barangay officials. Could you imagine how exasperating it is during election campaign period when you see these voluminous candidates from five barangays come, with blaring loudspeakers, honkers, and aids handing out leaflets and their antics to people of the subdivision and campaign?! Add the city and provincial candidates and tell me what it is during those days! Election day comes and the homeowners of San Lorenzo South would flock to the different polling centers of these barangays that cover their area! And what happens after the election? Where 'd go?!!

Overdue. Come on folks, it's about time - and its overdue, that we really think about becoming a barangay seriously! The idea of uniting the whole of San Lorenzo is not actually new - although the talk about becoming a barangay was not yet present then. The early presidents of the homeowners' association, way back in year 1996, had actually attempted to organize the federation where several meetings about a unified San Lorenzo South have materialized. Unfortunately, because the term of these early organizers was only one year they have to step down and transfer the initiative to their successors, who would later fail to continue with the endeavor. Sayang ang initiative, but it usually happens even in our national government. Pag bago ang gobyerno, na-iiba ang takbo ng palakad! Pareho na rin tayo ng national government?! Dapat may core group, or think tank, na katulad ng mga ma-uunlad ng bansa katulad ng U.S.A., Japan, Singapore, atbp, na nagbibigay patnubay sa direction ng ating community!

Failed Unification Revival. I heard that there was a fresh attempt - I think, about a year ago now, to revive the UNIFICATION but it was short lived it never really prospered. Perhaps the new initiators lacked the motivation to carry on with the endeavor because the lacked the necessary motivation?! Perhaps, they really didn't know the big benefit of being a barangay.Perhaps they never realized the benefit that are really due to us but never receive it?! Let me share with you what I've found out from my research!

The benefits and advantages of being a barangay can not be over emphasized. Here are the overwhelmingly numerous advantages and benefits of a being barangay: 1) Source of income will come from 20% -50% share from community and realty taxes collected by the city, provincial, and national government, including fees for issuance of clearances, 2) Power to levy taxes to commercial establishments3) Manage own resources and services like: health and social welfare services, services related to general hygiene and sanitation, beautification and solid waste collection, maintenance of barangay roads, bridges and water supply system, barangay tanods, 4) We create and implement barangay policies that are suitable for our culture and environment , and many more.

San Lorenzo South is very ripe and overdue to become a barangay! The requirements for San Lorenzo South to become a barangay are more than satisfactorily met. We have the required population (not to mention the income) and also meet the rule of the areas to be of being contiguous. The requirement of having to provide a lot for public school is a myth because it is not stated in the law that prescribed the requirements to create a barangay! The main problem is that the phases are not united.If only the officers of the homeowners' association of different associations would talk and unite then the road to becoming a barangay will be widely opened - and it is concrete with red carpet!

You need to talk to unite! Mag-usap kayo mga officers ng mga homeowners association ng bawat phases for the sake of our children. Wala dapat nagmamalaki na mas marami o mas organized sila kaya dapat sila ang nasusunod sa mga dapat gawin sa kabuoan ng San Lorenzo South subdivision. Dapat ay magtulungan ang bawat phases upang ang lahat ay pare-parehong organized, tahimik, masaya,at maunlad! Hindi magiging barangay ang San Lorenzo South kapag isa man lang sa phase ay nagmatigas gaano man sila kalaki o kaliit!

Magsama-sama tayo tungo sa pagiging isang barangay. Sulong, San Lorenzo South tungo sa pagiging isang Barangay San Lorenzo South!

Happy new year sa ating lahat!
