PTR - get paid to read
I came across a “paid to read” (PTR) program today and seriously considered signing up. There are a load of these out there. The one I came across is called netbux.org. Every time you do an internet search from their homepage, they supposedly give you 2 dollarcents. They pay you out when you get over $50.
I didn’t sign up though. Somehow, it feels wrong. I’m all for earning money for nothing, but I have my principles. It wouldn’t be right to be a Web Professional, claiming to be an ethical search engine optimisation practisioner, to then sign-up to these things.
I don’t know precisely how it works, but it can’t be good, and it can’t be legitimate. I guess there’s no such thing as a free ride. Also I get the feeling that you might make a few pounds out of these things but you could never make a living out of it. I think that just like with Ebay, it’s a lot of hassle for a small reward.
