    Are GPT sites worth starting?

    So i have been thinking is it worth it to start a GTP site?

    How profitable is it? Are there are high profits in it? Can we expect a good amount every month?

    What are the investment and what is the return like?

    I would prefer if a person who currently owns a GTP sites let me know.

    Thanks alot

    Don't fool yourself into thinking that starting and maintaining a GPT site is something extremely easy. It's not. It may sound like fun but after a while it can get pretty messy.

    For one you have to make sure your website is clean. By clean I mean cheater-free. You'd have to set up anti cheating scripts and look for anything suspicious. Basically you always have to keep an eye on your members.

    GPT sites are by far the biggest source of fraud and that's why most networks are closing their doors to new GPT websites. Also the amount of incentive offers (these are the offers that you're allowed to run on your GPT site) has decreased lately.

    Promoting is perhaps easier than with any other business especially if you have a referral system in place. Your members would do most of the work for you by getting new referrals.

    It takes a LOT of time and effort. You can make decent money but you've got to really stay on top of things and search out good incentive offers. Plus you have to strongly promote your site by doing things like running contests and offering good prizes to get the traffic.

    I know of two site owners on DP, BankRollBucks and DiscoDollars, who I am sure would be happy to offer you some up front advice.

    I've received PM's from this OP and spoke to them about GPT...now I see they are banned so not sure what happened?

    Still here though if you need anything!
