Are GPT's profitable?

I am thinking about creating a PTC/PTR site, but I don't know how profitable they are, so I wanted to ask here. Also how much would it cost to get one started? I guessed about $600. Is that high or low? Also how would I get started in creating one? Do you recommend that I use CashCrusader, or a different script? Also do you have any suggestions or ideas on how to run the site?

Thanks,
Kyle

 

They can be profitable if run right.

You can find a lot of scripts on the net for gpt sites.
I use 4 different scripts on 4 different sites.

Good place to go is http://www.scottdalehosting.com/
They can set you up, and host you, for WAY less than what you think.

$600? Who told you that figure?
I have a reserve on each site of mine at $100 to make sure I can do payouts.
But most of that is covered by member fees and advertising.

 

Ok thanks. I'll definitely check out the link. I estimated the $600 based on:

$300 - Site
- Hosting for a year 60
- Domain 10
- Script 70
- Set up 20
- and Plugins 150

150 - Advertising
150 - Cash on hand (to payout members)

Although if I got a good script, I don't think that I would need the plugins, so that would save me some money.

Also can I see some of your sites?

Thanks,
Kyle

 

Here are my sites:

http://www.clixhaven.com

http://www.buxforall.com (new one)

http://www.iowagpt.com

http://www.sweetbux.com

First two sites were made for me and hosted by scottdale.
The third is a script also to be had by scottdale.
Last is a quicky but nice script available all over the place (even me, probably cheaper than others).

 

Ok cool thanks. I just joined the second one.

Thanks,
Kyle

 

yes,they are profitable,but they are too saturated,so you need to promote this very well to attract users

 

Can PTC or GPT be hosted on hostgator?

 

I think so. I don't see why that wouldn't be allowed.
