    Dear,

    I have a plan to run an incentive website next year. Therefore I have looked around the market for the incentive script. As I see that Fsrevolution is the best in this field (correct it if I am wrong please).

    However, I would like to know more about other scripts (pros and cons) such as incentive-plus or shiftcode.

    I am looking for any offers for the script too.

    I am looking forward to hearing from you soon

    Best regards,

    The only script you will find on the net for running a successful incentive website, is indeed FSR.

    There are various other scripts, however all contain bugs, are unsupported, crap customer service, and have few functions that you need to run a successful site.

    Shiftcode I wouldn't reccomend, unless you want ongoing fees.

    Do take several factors into consideration when starting your freebie site:

    - What freebies are you going to offer?
    - What makes you BETTER than other current incentive sites?
    - How are you going to drive traffic (BIG factor, PPC will not work)
    - Are you signed up to an adequate number of affiliate (reliable affiliate) networks?
    - Do you have the TIME to dedicate to it? Incentive sites most certainly don't run themselves.
    - Do you have the cash to send out free gifts? Hint - profits are NOT made from the value of the offers being worth more than the value of the gift.

    Just a few things to consider there.

    If you want to shell out in the region of $1000, then get a custom script made. This is by far your best option, but if you want to test out the waters first, I'd reccomend buying FSR, if your network is a success - get a custom script.

    Good luck!

    I run a shiftcode based website and I must say they are improving every single day. It doesn't mean it beats custom scripts, but shiftcode is much better then fsr.

    Yes, I make a decent amount per month. Think about it this way, If you run a custom script site it may cost you 5-10k. Shiftcode at $20 a month is only $240 a year. Do the math.

    IMO, you just can't get the uniqueness with shiftcode that you can with FSR/a custom script.
