Payment Requests

I realised I hadn't had a payment in several weeks, so I started checking my records and it turns out that, apart from a couple of long-overdue requests, I haven't actually requested any money in a while. I guess they aren't just going to throw money at me if I don't ask for it, so I've put in 3 or 4 payment requests. I don't think any of them were for over $1, so I'm not planning any computer upgrades with the money or anything.

The main problem is that there are very few advertisers these days. Most of the 'ads' are for 'search engines' and that whole thing is just nasty. I'm not going to do searches for money. It's just wrong.

More and more, PTR is turning into an industry of scams. Not just the programs themselves, but almost everything that's being advertised is just a bunch of bullshit -- get rich quick schemes, other PTRs that are nothing but sweatshops for human click-bots. Yeah, you can make a few bucks a month doing it, but unless you build big downlines and click links 24/7, that's about it. Even then, it would be worth it if you were seeing ads for something worth buying. Who cares about getting paid 1/4 cent to look at an ad when you can save $10 on a purchase? But it just doesn't work that way any more. I think I'm going to have to look for other ways to make money online.
