Consistency

When you use incremental earning programs to earn money online - even if these programs are intended as "starter" programs that you'll graduate away from down the road, CONSISTENCY is mandatory!

The great thing about PTR/PTC is that even if you never get any referrals, by logging in and clicking on a consistent basis, your balances earned always increase...slowly but surely.

With most programs, even if you get a lot of referrals under you, there are limits to what you can earn if you don't log in and participate in the programs on a regular basis.

For example, NeoBux ensures a more active member base by requiring certain members (those who are not upgraded) to log in daily in order to receive commissions from referrals. You can have many referrals but not benefit at all from having them at NeoBux.

Another example: some PTR sites require that you log in and click a certain amount of point emails in order to earn from referrals or earn the priviledge of cashing out - even if your cash balance is high enough for receiving a payment.

These aren't scam techniques - they're good PTC/PTR restrictions to ensure that people don't acquire accounts, pay another site to bring in referrals, then do nothing on the original site to participate in earning. (Yes, there are ad co-ops out there and various referral purchase sites that bring referrals to your program - some are banned at certain PTR/PTP/PTC sites, so read the find print and T.O.S. if you decide to use these).
