I have received my latter payment from Adsterra in December. The amount was $112.65 and in the video posted below I show payment proof in my Paypal account.
In total I already got paid $450.57 so I can declare that Adsterra is 100% legit and it really pays.
Adsterra payment dates are 1-2 and 16-17 of each month. If these dates fall on weekends or holidays the payments will be processed on nearest business day.

Now that you know how payment works and that Adsterra is 100% legit, you can Sign up as a Publisher by clicking the following link »»» https://publishers.adsterra.com/referral/8qH7ScvL99
After completing your registration you can login to your Adsterra publisher account and the first thing to do is add your website.
You need to insert your website URL, select website category and choose one of the available Ad Units to get the code that you have to insert in your website. You can also remove campaigns with Erotic ads, Software ads, Alert ads, Ads with sound or Gambling ads, and you just need to select the ones you don´t want to work with.
By clicking ADD button, your website will be pending approval and usually approval process is very fast. I got websites that were approved in the exact same day.
Once your website is approved you can create more Ad Units by clicking "+ AD UNIT" and choosing settings for the new ad unit.
Then to start showing the ads on your website, you just need to insert Adsterra codes there.
You will receive in your email the main code that you have to paste in the HEAD section of your website and then you also have to paste ad unit code in your website in the place where you want banner ad to be displayed.
And of course you can create more than one ad unit and insert its codes in different places in your website, because the more ads you insert the more money you will earn.
Summing it up you must take 3 steps to monetize your website.
Step 1. Add your Website
You have to click the ADD WEBSITE button to start. Then put your domain, set website category and ad campaigns.
Step 2. Create Code
Click +AD UNIT next to your website. Choose ad format and, if needed, remove campaigns with unwanted ads.
Step 3. Copy Code
Click your website to reveal its ad units and then click GET CODE. Copy and put the code to your website.
Once your website starts to show Adsterra ads you can visit "STATISTICS" tab to check your revenues.
Furthermore, Adsterra also allows you to monetize any traffic using direct links.
To earn money with direct links you just have to Create Direct Link and Put the link anywhere (A post on Facebook, buttons, images... everywhere where your visitors will be able to click the link). And you can also track statistics and manage your direct links settings.
