Getting success in PTC investments, it's all about timing and controlling your greed.

First of all, let me explain how most of the Bux PTC sites (those which give 0.005$ to 0.01$ per click, and 50% to 100% earnings from referrals) work. They are simply Ponzi scemes, read here what ponzi means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

Mostly, such PTC sites are started as ponzi schemes, and if not, they end up in this due to lack of entreprenuership. Bux PTC sites can be run as serious business (like that of neobux's case), otherwise their Healthy life is too short. It's pretty much like trading, where one gains money because someone else loses it.

OK, so you should be knowing already that PTC domain isn't a well formed market, and there is high risk of losing invested money. But there are ceratin rule of thumbs you can use to get success in such investments. Though, keep in mind I can't guarantee you that this will always work, because it's not science we are talking about, it's market.

So, I will mention some simple rules to follow to get safest position in PTC investments.

1) Never invest your money in PTC sites that are run on Default scripts, like those of Bux.to, pay2surf.net and so on. Such script can be bought for cheap rates, so it gives us hint that admin has no large funds to run his PTC, nor he has bachup funds to cover any disaster to his PTC.
All in all, such PTC sites are just personal websites, beaware of investing!

2) If we exclude sites like those mentioned above, there are left like Sandraclicks and Buxout (both are scam now). They do have initial funds, but they lack creativity. They just follow someone blindly (both followed neobux). But yes, it's about investments and not about ethics, right?! So, if you find any PTC very new and popular among the clickers community, and if you see many people investing their money in it, just go ahead and invest money in it. Mostly, you have better chances to get your ROI back in such cases, assuming you can get ROI in 30 to 50 days. You will keep earning till that PTC shows some signs of warning.
Such warnings can include: Too good (means fast) ROI, bot selling confirmity etc...

3) If Hot PTC sites for investors starts delaying payments (in case of non-instant payouts) or put a limit on daily cashouts (in case of both instant and non-instant payouts), then it's time to stop further investments. Don't be greedy (in other words, blind) to keep investing there, whatever the reason admin gives us for excuses. Just forget that site, and start finding a new one ...

4) Avoid sites with long payment delays to Premium members, again, whatever reasons they give for delaying payments. Such sites are IsabelMarco, taketheglobe (TTG), Bux.to etc...

5) Visit corresponding PTC forum, and also public PTC forums to find out current level of satisfaction from investments in that PTC of your interest. Don't shoot blindly.

If you are an old PTC player, then the most important point for you should be point-2. Don't forget, nothing can sustain itself if it is too good to be true.

Have success to all...
