Clicking your life away for money

I quit my job as an CNC engineer last year. Programming was so boring to me, I wanted to make a change. But I decided to rest for a whole year in 2009, for my last job really exhausted me. I didn't need to worry about raising a family, as I was single. So I have a whole year to do anything I want. Apart from going some beautiful place to refresh my head, I spent most of time on the Internet. One day, I happened to enter a website which claimed that I could earn money from it by clicking ads and reading Emails. For each ad and mail, I can get $1! At that time, I had never heard PTC before and had not a clue about making money online. when I saw that, I didn't belive at first. Later, I went into its forum and found there were many memebers, some one said that they really received $500 which was the minimum payout of that site. Though I was still a little skeptical about it, but since it was free to join, I decide it to give it a try.

There were five ads to click and 3 mails to read on average every day, so in this way, do the math, I could make $500 in two months just by clicking ads with a little time. After I worked on that site for two or three days, I began to realize that it was really ridiculous. It indeed was too good to be true. If we could really earn money that easy, then who are going to work? So, I googled it, sure enough, a lot of comments said that it was a great scam. I was not surprised, on the contrary, I was very happy then, for I have found out the truth before I lost nothing. Most importantly, since then, I began to know I can make money online. So I kept trying to find out really paying PTC sites.

At first, I didn't know how to spot a scam, so I joined all the PTC sites that I had found. I signed up for more than twenty PTC sites at one time and spent about one hour to click all of them every day. A month passed, I reached my minimum payouts on a few sites and then I request my payments. As a result, I received my payment on Neobux immediately as Neobux has an instant paying system. But except that, I didn't receive a penny any more. I was really frustrated, then I almost lost my heart on working with the rest sites. However, I didn't completely quit yet. I was still looking for well-paying and reliable PTC sites. Indeed, I found some ones. At that time, I had already learned how to spot a scam, and I knew the key to make money with PTC sites was referrals. But I finally got tired of PTC, since I had found many various ways to make money
