Paid-to-Click 101: Things to know before joining PTC Sites 2009-08-28T01:50:00.006+08:00 What are PTC? Paid-to-Click (PTC) are websites which can be an online source of income since it allows you to earn when you click on their ads.
What is a PTC's basic process? The basic process is advertisers pay the PTC websites to show their ads to people while PTC websites pay people to view the ads.
How much can I earn from PTC? Earnings is within the range of $0.0001 - $0.02 per click depending on which PTC you join in. More often than not there is a minimum cash out price to achieve before you can get your earnings. Check out my other post of best paying PTC site for an idea. It indicates the rate per click on each PTC and minimum cash out price.
How can I earn from PTC? If you click daily then you will earn. But the best way to earn quickly from a PTC site is to build your downline. Refer as many people as you can under your username since you will be able to earn a percentage of the clicks they do.
How will I get my earnings? You need to have an account in a payment processor. Top payment processor you'll need will be Alertpay and Paypal. Click on the banners below to go directly to them.
May I postpone opening a payment processor account? Yes you may. It is not immediately needed. You can opt to open your payment processor account only at the time when you are ready to cash-out your earnings. Just remember the payment processor email you gave the PTC when you registered.
Do I have to pay anything to PTC? You don't have to pay to join! However you can opt to pay if you like the benefits they offer in return. PTC sites have standards members and premium members. Standards members are free. Premium members require a fee but it is due to the advantage they get. The difference mainly is with regard to number of ads available. Premium members have more ads to click and sometimes the rate on each click is even higher. Premium members also enjoy the benefit of higher earnings from their downline. In some PTC premium members enjoy free referrals and higher number of allowed downline. Personally my suggestion is not to pay!
What should I be careful of with regard to PTC? Not all PTC are legitimate. A lot of them are scams. Scams PTC would entice their members to join and pay the premium member price but then will suddenly disappear or have sudden issues when it comes to paying their members. Always checkout the forums of a PTC since you can read from there if they are having problems paying their members. If they don't have a forum then that is hint they might be hiding something.
Any word of advice on PTC? Never invest your money on PTC especially if they are new! In fact a good PTC this month may become a scam PTC the next month already! If you really want to invest allow yourself to earn the amount first from the PTC. Visit my post on best paying PTC sites since I've already taken the necessary steps to filter the scam PTC I've invested time in. Please continuously visit my blog since I will be continuously be updating it with my PTC experience.
PTC Sites Under Investigation 2009-08-08T03:01:00.018+08:00 I am still not sure if below PTC sites are okay so I'll just track them separately in an under investigation list. If you would like to know the highly recommended PTC sites then read full list here
***Ako ay hindi pa sigurado kung okay nga ang mga PTC sites na eto so ilalagay ko muna sila sa isang minamanmanag listahan. Kung gusto niyo malaman ano ang magandang website basahin niyo ang listahan dito.
--Scopebux--1-2 ads, $0.005/ad, $3, Alertpay
Cons: New, low ad count, medium high cash out
--PTCbux--1-2 ads, 190+ click ad exchange, $0.01/ad, 7 unique hits/ad, min $0.50, Alertpay (I mainly use this place to advertise my websites due to high click ad ratio)
Kumita sa Internet - Get Paid to Click (Best PTC list) 2009-08-01T01:13:00.009+08:00 Lagi ka bang nasa internet? Di alintana ang puyat kakasurf? Laging nakatingin sa Friendster? Mahilig mag-super poke sa Facebook, maglaro ng online games or magchat sa mga forums? Or simpleng bored ka lang?
Isa sa magandang paraan upang mapakinabangan ang iyong hilig sa internet ay sumali sa mga PTC sites. PTC? Ano yun?
Ang PTC ay Paid-To-Click. Ibig sabihin, babayaran ka upang iclick ang link at tignan eto ng ilang segundo. Kung oras-oras ang binibilang sa iyong kakasurf, maliit lang ang ilang segundo na iyong kelangan sa pag-click.
Kikita ba talaga ako?
Walang bayad ang registration sa mga PTC. At marami na ang nabayaran mula sa pagsali sa mga PTC sites. Karaniwang kita mula sa PTC ay $0.01 bawat advertisement link na na-click. Kung nasa P48 ang isang US dollar bale meron kang P0.48 na kita . Kung sa isang araw ay maka-10 advertisement ang na click mo, meron kang P4.8 ng walang kahirap-hirap. Karaniwan ay $2 suma-total ang kelangan mo upang makuha mo ang iyong kita. Iniisip mo siguro $0.01 papuntang $2 parang ang tagal naman nun? Hindi naman eto instant pera. Para mapadali ang iyong pagkita kelangan mo ng maraming downline. Ang downline ay mga taong na-irefer mo na maging miyembro ng site. Mayroon ka kasing porsyento sa depende sa dami ng kanilang na-click. Pwede karing kumita kung merong kang marefer na kumpanyang gustong magpaadvertise sa kanila.
Paano ko makukuha ang bayad?
Mababayaran ka gamit ang mga online financial service gaya ng Paypal at Alertpay. Gumawa ka lamang ng account sa mga eto. Hindi naman kelangang gumawa ka ora-orada ng Paypal or Alertpay account bago makasali sa PTC. Kailangan lamang na ibigay mo sa registration ang email na gagamitin mo sa Paypal at Alertpay. So pwedeng magregister ka sa mga PTC sites ng wala ka pa talagang Paypal at Alertpay. Basta tandaan mo lang na kapag gagawa ka na ng Paypal at Alertpay account gamitin mo yung email na binigay mo sa pagregister sa PTC.
IMPORTANTE!
Mag-ingat ka dahil hindi lahat ng PTC ay okay. May mga scam din at hindi ka naman talaga mababayaran. Para makaiwas sa scam basahin ang aking scam list.
Sa ngayon ang mga listahan sa post na eto ang mga garantisadong hindi scam at pinakamahusay na PTC sites na iyong masasalihan. Mag-sign-up lang sa alin man sa kanila mula sa link ng imahe.

How to create a cool slide show with Windows Movie Maker 2009-08-31T02:04:00.000-07:00 Sharing just plain pictures can be boring sometimes. Say you like to surprise your grandparents on their anniversary by compiling all their pictures together and presenting it to them. You can spice up the presentation a bit by making a slide show with Windows Movie Maker. This means you can add animation, text comments and sounds together with the pictures. Your love one would pretty sure be teary-eyed when the memorable song you picked as background music starts playing.
To get started creating your cool slide show, Windows has a bundled program called Windows Movie Maker that will help you with this kind of project. It is available in both Windows XP and Windows Vista. Just view the video below to know how to use it.
How to save data on a CD or DVD using Windows Vista or XP 2009-08-31T01:09:00.000-07:00 In a previous article I've explained about the different media you can use to backup your files. If you have chosen to save on a CD or DVD then below videos will help you a lot. The first shows how to save with Windows Vista while the second video will show how to save with Windows XP. Just a trivia, the process of saving on a CD or DVD is called burning so aside from saying 'I will save on a CD/DVD' you may say 'I will burn on a CD/DVD'. The reason behind this is because lasers will be used to burn the impression of the data unto the surface of the CD or DVD.
Burning data with Windows Vista
Burning data with Windows XP
Backing-up 101: Where should you back-up your files 2009-08-30T11:40:00.000-07:00 Sometimes you may have files like pictures or videos you want to share with friends and families or you may have important business files like MS Word documents or MS Excel Sheets you want to backup.
You have actually four options to choose from in backing up your files. 1) usb flash drives - These are the most portable because they can be as small as the fingernail on your toe but never bigger than your index finger. They are always plug and play and all you have to do is just drag and drop or copy paste the files to the flash drive. With it, you can also easily erase and replace files.
It is available in storage sizes of 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB. (Note: 1GB = 1024MB so nowadays never buy anything less than 1GB like 512MB)
2) usb hard drives - These can be around 2.5" to 3.5" in length. The real portable small usb hard drives gets power only from the computer while the slightly bigger hard drives would require to be plugged in a power supply. However the larger usb hard drives can boast of lower cost and faster file transfer rates compared to the non-plugged in portable usb hard drives. Like the usb flash drives it is easy to add and replace content, just drag and drop or copy paste files.
They are available is incredibly higher storage size denominations compared to usb flash drives. If you want you can already have 2 Terabyte (TB) but of course it will be pricier than a usb flash drive. (Note: 1TB = 1024GB)
3) CD/DVD - Prices of CD/DVDs are significantly cheaper compared to a usb flash drive or usb storage drive. But long run cost of storage depends on your use. If you are targeting to distribute content then this is easy if it is okay for you to giveaway CD/DVDs. If you want to share but don't want to pay anything then online storage or distribution would be better.
CDs can only hold around 700MB worth of data while a DVD is around 4.37GB. You might have heard of CD-RW or DVD-RW. RW means that the CD/DVD is special because you can continuously reuse it - erase and add files - much like a usb storage device. DVDs also have other types, if you are interested you can pursue reading from here.
4) Online - You can actually use your Gmail account to store your data. At the moment they provide around 7GB of storage and they are continuously increasing it. Just compose a draft email and attach all the files you want to back-up here. The good thing about putting your files online is you can immediately access it anywhere on any computer with internet connection. No need to bring any usb storage or cd/dvd with you. Of course this is bad if you think about it in terms of security. So I will not suggest you use this option on company or business files which may contain sensitive information. Even if Google is a big and secure gaint in the IT world, it is still best to be vigilant about security.
If you want to distribute or show your pictures and videos then social networking websites such as Facebook will come in very handy as well. But if your contacts don't have an account there, no need to require them to join. You can always email with Gmail.
How to create a new user and add user password 2009-08-29T12:40:00.000-07:00 In a household there might be only one computer and many users. If this is the case it makes sense to create an account for each user so they can have more flexibility in organizing their folders and customizing the look of their desktop. It would also be best to add a password to these accounts to increase privacy for each user.
The steps to create a new account and add a password is simple. The steps below would work for both XP and Vista computers. There is also a video tutorial to provide you with a visual guide.
Go to start
Go to control panel
Go to user accounts
(depends) go to user accounts again
Select the user you want to add a password
Click create a new password
Type the new password in (twice - once in the first box and once in the second)
(If you want) Add a password hint (DO NOT put the password itself!)
Click create password
How to open your computer without a password 2009-08-29T12:39:00.000-07:00 Sometimes you might forget the password you've set for your computer. Like when you have just have come back from a refreshing two-week long vacation. If this does happen, then don't worry just yet. Try this simple trick below to open your computer again without a password.
when you are at the logon screen click CTRL+ALT+DEL twice
type username Adminsitrator and then click enter
Voila! You should now be inside your computer. All you have to do next is just edit the password of your previous account which is demonstrated in this post. If you are concerned with having an Administrator account without a password then just add a password to this account as well to secure it.
How to detect invisible contacts in Yahoo Messenger 2009-08-08T06:43:00.000-07:00 Yahoo has a neat feature of being able to log in invisible mode. This is beneficial if you want to still be online in YM but do not want to be disturbed because it can't be helped to have friends who don't pay much attention to the busy status you put. And you don't want to ignore them for that may hurt their feelings.
Pictures below show the places where invisible mode can be activated.
However if you are the one who wants to talk to someone 'hidden' (or the avid admirer spying on their crush's online habits) then the functionality becomes a liability. It becomes a necessity during these instances to find a way to confirm if that person is indeed offline or in invisible mode. Luckily, there's a website that can help check the status of your contacts.
The website's name is statusdetect. Check out the video demonstration of how to use it.
In one of my previous post, you learned how to install Yahoo Messenger. If you don't have the YM program yet please take a look here first.
At the moment, the latest version of Yahoo Messenger is 9.0 and it has the following features divided in three categories. Communication, Productivity and Fun & Personalization. Picture below provide in detail the different YM features when used on different media (Windows, Mac, Iphone, Web)
However let's focus on using the YM program you have installed on your computer. The video below discusses how YM 9.0 can be used for the following:
simplified list
chat / call
video conferencing
quick friend search
send files
share pictures
inline media players (view videos and pictures directly on chat window)
An antivirus is a program that will help keep your computer safe and clean from malwares. If you don't know what a malware is check out my article, Malware 101.
There are commercialized programs like Norton and Kapersky but there are also free ones like AVG Free and Avira. Free versions are for personal use only and may contain some ads on the vendor's products. The support for free versions are minimal as well. If you have the money get the commercialized antiviruses as they have the added benefit of a 24/7 support staff from the vendor.
Now if you don't have the money or want to save then you may settle with using a free antivirus. Below are two videos that will show you (1) How to download AVG Free from the internet (2) and the step by step process of installing AVG Free
Malware 101 : Keeping your computer safe and clean 2009-08-05T09:47:00.000-07:00 There are nasty things from the internet that can mess up your computer. They are programs that are generally categorized as malwares. Wikepedia discusses malwares in detail but for the benefit of simplicity I'll just discuss the top malwares to be wary of.
Spyware - collects information about the user, their computer and browsing habits without their consent and sends it back to a homebase.
Adware - displays advertisements on your computer with or without your consent.
Worms - self-replicating computer program that spreads through computer networks which can have the effect of disrupting or slowing internet connections.
Virus - is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the owner. Viruses can have nasty effects like erasing precious data from your computer.
Trojan - is a non-replicating computer program which the user allows to run thinking it is beneficial when it fact it is causing undesirable functions for example is allowing other users access to your computer.
The ways for you to get malwares on your computer are:
Opening email attachments whose sender or contents are dubious.
While surfing the web especially if you go to unsafe websites sites.
Installing unknown programs you got from the internet.
Plugging in external devices like flash drives, memory cards, or external hard drives that are infected with malware.
In order to fight and prevent malwares from invading your computer observe the following guidelines:
Do not ever open an email from someone you do not know or whose file names are ending in EXE.
Use Firefox as your web browser and install the plug-in Adblock plus. If you still have not installed Firefox check my earlier posts on installation and plug-ins. Safe websites are those starting with https:// while an example of usually unsafe websites are those about hacking and porn. Please do if not try to stay away from porn :)
Do not immediately install programs especially when free, if their vendor or creator seems untrustworthy as their software may be trojans or contain viruses that will do more harm to you than good.
Before you open the folders or copy files from an external device, make sure to run security checks with an anti-virus program and an anti-spyware program first.
Now that you are aware about the different kinds of malware, what they do and how you get them, just keep your computer safe and clean by following the suggested guidelines above.If you want to learn more about antivirus and how to get one for free you may proceed to this article. I hope you leave a comment if you find this helpful.
How to install Microsoft Vista 2009-08-04T13:37:00.000-07:00 In a previous article, I discussed about what is Microsoft Vista, provided reasons why upgrade/use and not upgrade/use Vista and finally reminded about the minimum system requirements for installation. If you have already purchased the DVD installer (if not yet you may get one from Amazon) then you may now proceed to intall it in your computer.
Please do not feel intimidated with the installation process because as you will see from the video demonstration below, even a kid can do it.
