Hi
I'm sure with the rising popularity of Bux/PTC/GPT sites that many people are wondering how start their own.
I have created this mini guide as a quick tutorial on where to start and also to make people aware of what is needed to start and run a site of this sort.
What you will need:
Some cash; either in you Paypal account or on a credit or debit card that you can use online (amount depends on which options you choose below)
Some relative knowledge of website creation/ftp/databases etc or the ability to learn quickly
Dedication and time
1st Step:
Decide what sort of site you wish to run for example:
Paid To Click (also known as a Bux site) where members only click links and view ads for cash
or
Get Paid To site where members can do various tasks for cash including signing up to sites, completing offers or surveys, click links,view ads,read e-mails etc.
2nd Step:
Decide which script best matches your site type, below are some well known (and some not so well known) providers of PTC/Bux/GPT scripts:
CashCrusader Home of the CashCrusader script (GPT)
ShiftCode.com | Best GPT Scripts | Web Hosting Home of the Shiftcode script (GPT)
MadeRite Scripts (Powered by CubeCart) Home of the Aurora script (GPT or PTC)
PTCPay.Com! Your official source for the GeN3 PTC Script. Home of the Gen3 (and soon the Gen4) script (Bux/PTc)
www.buxhost.com Home of a Bux script
GPT Warrior - Welcome Home of the GPTwarrior script (GPT/PTC)
Welcome to PTCShop.com - Official home of the PTCShop PHP "Get Paid To" Web Script Home of the PTCShop script (GPT/PTC)
phpBux - Paid to Click / Bux Script Home of the phpBux script (bux/PTC)
If the script provider offers a package where they will sort you a domain name/host/install your script I reccomend you take this as it is easier to receive support for your website if it's hosted with the script company and this can also be cheaper.
If you decided to host the script/website your self you will need a domain name ( example: http://www.yourptc.com) and a host (also known as a server this is where your site is stored)
I recommend Byethost - Premium Hosting their ultimate (unlimited ) plan is only $6.99 a month and can be paid via Paypal and you get a FREE .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .US, .EU or .INFO domain name. Byethost also have a great customer service team and are very well known.
DO NOT use a free web host like 000webhost as they generally do not allow 'money making' web sites and if you try to use them you will find your account removed without warning - always use a paid hosting service.
If you still require a domain name I find GoDaddy are the best and cheapest (.info domains are currently $0.79 each!!) http://www.godaddy.com - you can find info about discount codes and how to get a free domain/hostng here: http://www.cashloopholes.co.uk/free-...s-hosting.html
3rd Step:
Installing your script: (if your script provider has completed this for you move on to the design/ advertising step)
You will need a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) account set up in your hosting (ask your hosting company if you do not know how to do this) and a program like FileZilla (free and available here: FileZilla - Client Download )
Make sure you CAREFULLY read the instructions included with your script on installation as the slightest mistake may make your site not work.
Upload the script to the designated area for your domain and then again follow the instructions given with the script (I cannot put detailed instructions here as all scripts differ)
You may be required to chmod files or create cronjobs - if you do not know how to do this ask your host or script provider for help.
You will also need to set up an e-mail account linked to your site i.e: admin@yourptc.com - this can usually be done through your cPanel and then accessed via Outlook Express or free software like Thunderbird: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/download/?product=thunderbird-2.0.0.22&os=win〈=en-US
Again if you need help setting up your e-mail contact your host.
Also depending on your script you will need to decide how you wish to pay your members and how they will pay you (for ads etc) most commonly used is Paypal http://www.paypal.com - I advise that you become a verified business member.
4th Step:
Design - If you have purchased a script with a customized design please go on to the next step.
On your PC navigate to the folder that stores the design files for your site (may be simply called 'images' or 'templates')
I recommend you have software like Dreamweaver/Fireworks/Illustrator/Photoshop etc - yes these are exspensive pieces of kit but If you use Torrent or warez sites you will easily find these for free.
Edit your design to fit your theme or website name and upload the new designs to your site via your FTP software (always have a backup of your script files just in case something goes wrong)
5th Step
Advertising/Promotion/Making Money of your site:
If you have decided on a GPT site you will want to register with 'Affiliate Networks' like CashillionConnect, PepperJam, AffiliateFuture etc these sites will give you offers, surveys and clicks for your site and when your members complete these you will receive credit at the Affiliate site.
You may also wish to use Adsense on your site (there's plenty of info on CLH regarding this)
REMEMBER - TELLING OR PAYING PEOPLE TO CLICK YOUR ADSENSE IS A VIOLATION OF TERMS!
How can you attract members to your site?
Offer something free like a sign up bonus (can be cash or ads)
Have a Forum/Chat/Support (if you are using cPanel in your hosting there will be something called 'Fantastico' where yu can find forum scripts that can be installed in a few minutes, you can easily add a shoutbox just google 'free shoutbox'.
Be active on the site/chat/forum
Offer discounted ads/paid memberships for the first month
Have a refferal/banner creation/click contest with cash/point prizes
How and where to advertise your site?
Advertise your site in forums like CLH - via posts or in your signature - don't spam
Find other PTC/GPT/Bux sites with large member bases and buy banner ads,paid signups ptc ads etc
If you have a blog add details of your site to it
Advertise on Free Ads sites, eBay, Ebid etc
If your site is restricted to your country - make flyers to put on notice boards, in shops etc
Register for 'e-mail list sites' and send out an e-mail advertising your site
Make a video and post it on YouTube - make sure you use good key words like: earn,free,cash,paypal
Craig1985 has written a good guide for traffic here: http://www.cashloopholes.co.uk/websi...ffic-free.html
Or you can check out Website Promotion/Traffic Downloads - CashLoopholes or Website Traffic Tips-n-Tricks - CashLoopholes
There are hundreds of ways to promote and get traffic for your site.
Once your site has members and things to do................
Make sure you are active on the site/forum, make sure you keep advertising (remember just because someone is a member doesn't mean they will automatically advertise for you) make sure you have a realistic cash out minimum, always make sure you back up you database and files and make sure you have a back up source for funds to pay your members.
DO register at GPTboycott: http://www.GPTboycott.com and become a verified supporter and display their banner on your site.
DO become a verified member of Paypal
DO have someone else who knows how to run the site (your partner or a trusted friend) just in case you fall ill or go on holiday
DO make sure you have the time and patience to run your site - a lot of sites fail because the owners only check them every few days and are not active.
DO ask for help from other site owners/your hosting/your script provider
DO pay your members on time
DO ban members who cheat
DO have an up to date Terms/Info page
Things NOT to do.....................
DO NOT use a nulled script (or if your script requires a license DO NOT use it un-licensed)
DO NOT advertise on sites that are/or maybe scams - you don't want to be associated with that!
DO NOT buy scripts from Tradebit/Payloadz or similar sites as these are generally illegal/nulled scripts.
DO NOT think you will make a massive profit in the first month - more often than not you will be at a loss for at least a few months.
DO NOT 100% assume that your site will be successful
DO NOT try to fix errors or problems with your site if you don't know how to - ask for help!
