Conclusion on Writing
Articles for Money.
It’s a good idea to write articles
for any of these sites to earn
money. BUT you should do all
these only for gaining extra
income and you could not make
huge income from this type of
work. Instead, i would strongly
recommend you to start your
own blog, write for your blog
and attain success. Also, use
these kind of sites to
promote your blog and to
earn some extra money !
That’s a better approach, I could
suggest !
But the interesting thing is that these PTC websites also pay you 1 cent when any of your referrals( Those whom you referred to the PTC website) clicks an Advertisement. So this means that even if you have referred 50 people to the website and if they are all fully active using their account then you make $225 just from your referrals, however I do not encourage people to stop using their accounts in the hope that their referrals will make money for them as I believe that if they become inactive, the more inactive people become, the lesser money all will earn because everyone is a referral of some other account and his/her earnings add earnings to the account of the person who referred him to the website. However, do not hesitate in joining through a referral link as it will not hinder your earnings.
