Best Pay Per Download Methods

    There are those pay per download affiliates like hotfile, sharingmatrix, and others. But what other methods are there? Especially for files between 5 and 50 MB? I have heard something about CPALead lets you block a page and the person must fill out a survey to get access and you get paid for that. I have also heard something about email attachments or something like that, it was all Greek to me.

    Filerevenue.com gives you 30-75 cents per download you get. They also pay you by paypal.

    People wont post premium tutorials for free unless the trick is saturated. You must use the search button and obviously you'd find some nice methodes shared by fellas including me ;)

    Read through their thread on DP before using them too much, they are a scam site.

    It is true that PPC has much less requirements but you cannot incentivize PPC. If you have a good selling point on a download then people would be willing to fill out a short survey to get the file. You cannot have a gateway on PPC so it is another method of monetizing your landing pages.

    I agree with that! But believe me when i say this that sometimes they wont even fill up a small free survey for something that is worth it! its true, maybe it depends how you market it

    I am the owner of files-cashout.com so I know what works and what doesn't as I see what my members are promoting. I do not steal their methods but I can safely say that it completely depends on how you are promoting an item. E.g. If you are promoting a Free awesome guide to making money with a certain method on an internet marketing forum people wouldnt mind too much because of the effort that you have put in.

    Whereas, if you are uploading a file that is freely available to the world, E.g. Firefox installer and then linking to that I cannot imagine many installs.

    Look at CPA Lead, that is locking content on the page, easy to bypass but still people complete offers. Not everybody because most people just disable javascript but if you promote in the correct places and promote the right files then there is a LOT of money to be made :)

    So your site allows you to lock your items with surveys which pay you? Are they surveys or offers? Do they spam the users filling them out? I don't think I would get it to happen with my photos but maybe my music. It is not as saturated as landscape photos lol. Unless it was out of pity or to help out. How does it work anyway?

    Spamming users with such offers would not get you very many conversions if not any at all. You must incentivize the user to download the file. E.g. I have created a custom bot that I am giving away for free if you download from this site. That is a very fair deal to the bot creator. That is obviously just an example but that would work well.

    I am not sure what you mean by a bot. It won't install spyware on the computers of those who download my stuff will it? I don't want them to be spammed or anything like that. I am interested in the surveys though.

    I am advising on something to upload, not using a bot. E.g. If you upload a guide that you spent a lot of time making that has really good content and you upload it to a PPD site, then share it, your visitors will not mind completing an offer to download it because of the effort that you have put in. If you are spamming the person is annoyed already and doesn't care about the link, the first thing they would do when they see the page is just leave.

    Lol I don't plan to spam anyone and was making sure the surveys wouldn't either. Now are they surveys or offers? Does the person have to fill one out in order to download the item? How does the download get counted? So far I am very interested in your site. How does the future look for your site? Will you drop the amount one can make like everyone else?

    The offers that are filled out before download are CPA offers / surveys. This is why the payout per download is so high (Between $0.30 - $0.80 per download).

    We launched 2 contests this month:
    1) Top Referrer Contest;
    2) Top Earner Contest;

    Each with 3 prizes: 1st) $100. 2nd) $50. 3rd) $25.

    In the near future we are adding better offers for worldwide traffic as not many networks like or want worldwide traffic and even higher paying offers! We track all of our offer conversion rates to monetize our members earnings.

    We can add in surveys but the requirements are a lot higher. We will work on a system where the promoter can choose how they would like to earn from the offer, E.g. Via Survey or Offer :)

    As soon as you can come up with that system, I am sold. :D But what are the requirements? I am afraid I am not understanding what you mean by that?
