Gosh , my first honest feelings were ( and please understand I'm not insulting you , just telling you my HONEST feelings ) gee , here's comes some more competition . Why would I want to help birth another ?

1) Chose my name to reflect "HIGHER" rewards as in a Higher Power , not merely monitary -- as I believe ppl need other needs met such as spirital needs .
2) Scripts were $100
3) Hosting about the same
4) When it is , I'll let you know .
5) Top sponsors and click section
6) We do paypal .

Sure why Not:

1) Z-Cash, TyliaPays, SizzleClicks. E-mail Value, CashWage
2)Cash Crusadors (I wait for the $99 specials)
3) Domaines $8.99 Each, Hosting $15 Monthly per site
4) If you make members feel as though its THIER program and let them help with decision..they tend to be more loyal and feel more involved
5) The tend to love my quick links
6) Well......Most member perfer to be paid out in E-gold but Pay in Paypal for ads as its easier to fund for most.

Thats my 2 cents aa.gif

Ok, first thought - don't bother it's not worth the hassle LOL ac.gif

I'll try my best.

1) Stuck Pay and Emails into a domain registrar search domain box and it returned PayingEmails - It seemed like it described the site. BonusEmails - Sounds good to me aa.gif

2) Cac cgi - cost was immense as it was before they became 100 a penny. Well, not that much I suppose, Paying was most Expensive - over $300 Bonus was cheaper as it was when people could get the scripts cheaper of Frank if they already had a site of his.

3) Domain, around $8/yr/site Hosting, I'll get back to you, thinking of moving to one at $19.99/mth incl full support.

4) Didn't know they were - PayingEmails certainly isn't cos it used to have a $35 payout and I spent most of my time working BonusEmails - I'm trying to get it better now tho aa.gif

5) Don't have many options - low numbers of paid mails I suppose.

6) ummmm hypothetically probably yes, if you don't have every option under the sun you lose advertisers and members.

Ok, I'll jump on the merry-g-round....LOL!

1)
Put some personality into it. ThetaEmail....Theta means of the spirit; not the body or mind......I am a very spiritual person so was fitting to my personality; FastEmailMoney...well, I bought it after it launched and am stuck with it....LOL! CrazyNitesPaidMail; Man have we have some crazy nights and continue to do so. Plus I am a bit on the crazy side....LOL...so again a reflection of my personality.

2)
Theta) Started out with cgi ($?? forgot), upgraded to cac-php, which cost roughly $30, and added a bunch of upgrades which roughly cost $100+, but is now upgraded to cashcrusader scripts ($99) (Poor Theta....)

FastEmail) currently on CAC-PHP and bought site a month after launch for an undisclosed amount.

CrazyNites) cashcrusader scripts $150 (or so, I didn't wait for the sale ai.gif ).

3)
Domain $8.95 per year each and hosting...well, I run my own hosting company so uummm would be $14.95 each per month.

4)
Ditto what Lexie said ai.gif and agree with what the others said.

5)
Email

6)
I support paypal but am sure if I did not I would lose a good bit of advertisers.


And Good Luck to you

well now i couldn't answer this before but i can now (i hope)

oh yeah after my traumas i think i will eventually open up a couple more sites
as soon as i can think of how i want to design them..

so here are the answers
1) emailmoneysite
2) the script from CAC i bought it on auction cost me about 25 bucks plus domain name transfer fees
3) well the domain matches the site name (i didn't choose it came that way)
emailmoneysite.com hosting its on a server i own so that would be hard to answer ..
i guess about 10 bucks a month if i divide by the sites on the server ..yearly cost of 8.95 for the domain..
4) making program popular? pay out on time nice looking site keep people happy advertise advertise advertise.
5) they mainly advertise business opportunities BY EMAIL...
6) (experience from another program not this one ...yet) i would loose members if i didn't except paypal people are complaining about using egold ..

okay that is the end of that ,, DID I PASS???

Hello,
1) TrafficSol.com / iHits.us
2) Custom Written Valued At Around $500 each
3) Domain $8.95 year/each. Hosting: $250/month
4) We surfed for around 2 weeks constantly before we launched on a few exchanges like WMQ and ezhits4u
5) Unique Hits by far is our most popular product.
6) We do support PayPal and E-Gold. Hoping to add StormPay sometime this month along with setting up a true merchant account

Good luck! Thanks and have a great day.

TrafficSol.com Administration
CentsableMail.com
1) Centasble Mail

2) Started as a CAC site in Sep 2001, cost $500. Upgrade to CC site cost $295.

3)Hosting varies as to bandwidth usage. Between $20 and $50 a month.

4) By answering members questions in a timely manner.
By not getting angry at members whether I am having a bad day or not.
By trying to understand where the members are coming from.
By remembering that it is the members that make the site a success.
I also did not think my site was popular until I tried to close and this thread appeared

http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...867&f=4&t=48159

As a webmaster you have to listen to your members, they do have some good ideas.
Be prepared to lose money, in most cases you will be luck to break even on the emails you send, you might as well consider your time as free.
Do not send paid searches, the search engine will pay you a couple of times and then shut you down. I have been stuck for over $6000 because of this.

5) There are so many GPTR now paid advertising is almost non-existant, most of the advertising on Centsable Mail is members earning points and sending point emails to other members.

6) Paypal is supported.

1) Birdcrazymail.com
2) CC-Scripts were $99. Design was $200.00(lots of $$ but it is so nice looking!!)
3) 8.95 a year. $5.00 a month right now, but sure to go up as we get bigger
4) My site is far from popular yet, but my members give me lots of praise. As long as they are happy, i could care less how popular it is. I believe you get rated as "popular buy not scamming your members, by doing everything within a timely manner, and paying your members when it is time. I have a backup plan in the event somthing happens to the site, I can still pay out everyone what they are owed. You can't walk into this business without $$$.
5) Most are buying email advertising. I have good rates and low redemptions right now.
6) i have PayPal, Stormpay and eGold. If I did get rid of Paypal, it would probably cause problems with advertisers.

Hope this helps!!

Any other low cost hosts please contact me.

Okay I have a question.As I am seriously thinking of becoming a site owner also. How much space is enough to buy on a brand new site?(hosting)
Brenda@PJ
1) Site's Name
2) Script's name and cost
3) Domain and hosting expenses
4) How did you make your program popular?
5) Where do advertisers advertise most on your site?
6) If you do not support PayPal do you lose advertisers or maybe members?


1) Site's Name -
PocketJingle
I wanted PocketMoney but it was taken and somehow ended up with PocketJingle.

2) Script's name and cost -
Ugh, CAC was something disgusting like $200. That charge is still somewhere on my credit card bill, I am sure. I upgraded to CC for a nice low price because I was in the early batch.

Rhea designed PJ ( who knows how many times) for something like $75. I paid her regularly for technical help. Of course, she paid me for editing!

Also, had to get CuteFTP and a couple other programs to be able to work on PJ. Not that I can do that without messing something up, but heck, I have the tools!

3) Domain and hosting expenses -
I am not even going to go into that. I moved hosts like 3 times, first from the original Frank had it at, to Host4Profit - HAHA HAHA!! Jerks! - then Myecom which was good until John got too busy, now Lucidity. YAY!

It seems that PTR sites end up costing from $20-$30/ month for hosting.

4) How did you make your program popular?
Erm, I am pretty sure PJ isn't popular. PJ's members are LOYAL, but there aren't more than 2000 right now. I think those that DO enjoy PJ like it because of my humor. I think those that DO NOT like PJ don't GET my humor. Plus the slow payout thing makes it hard... ah.gif

I think that I am fairly good at listening to members. I have become good friends with many longtime members. I try to make PJ fun and unique. I started PJ because except for Tombmailer, most PTR sites were deady dull. Most still are, but at least now Program Owners allow their personality to show!!

For me, PJ was at first a lifeline - I was ill and unemployed and it kept me going through a terribly difficult time in my life. Now it's a terrific and enjoyable hobby. My main goal is to pay every single member!! It keeps me going.

I hate search links, but with the dearth of advertisers, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I tried to close PJ when Rhea was going to close Tombmailer, but the response I got PLUS the fact that I truly love PJ and the great members I have, convinced me to stick it out. Even if Tomb closes someday, I will be around. I may have to wait til I collect social security to pay my members, but I will be here.

5) Where do advertisers advertise most on your site?
Advertise?? What's that?? LMAO! Actually, mostly emails and banner rotations right now.

6) If you do not support PayPal do you lose advertisers or maybe members?
I am sure I would, PayPal is still the most widely used and easily used payment system.

Personally, I think that if you want to succeed in this business you have to have quite a bit of money stashed in the first place and diversify quickly. Plan your payout and referral tiers carefully - that's what got me in trouble, plus the fact that the industry has basically slumped.

At hosting2nv GPTR sites need to be on a minimum of 10gb/month plan because of CPU usage.

This is common practice, infact other hosting companies charge up to a $10 excess fee a month for gptr scripts especially if they are cash crusader.

I suggest you look at quality before price.

I know places that will host your GPTR for $1/month

However they dont tell you that the downtime is high and the speed is low.

I suggest you find a host that has a fast connection (they dont host too many sites on the same server) and a good uptime (ask the host owner for previous month uptime figures).

Otherwise you will have a slow, problematic GPTR all for the sake of a few dollars lol

thanx for the help
Would it be ok to host a gptr at myecom?
BlueUnicorn
1) Sites Name
www. PaidHitWorld.com

2) Scripts name and cost
beats me bought if off of eBay probably a clone of Franks CAC

3) Domain and hosting expenses
at present time $14.99 a month. Started out on a cheaper host but couldn't get it installed so, I hosted where the seller wanted it hosted by doing that he installed the site. Sometimes you get what you pay for. After about 6 months thinking about moving it to www.borntohost.com the owner seems to be interested in helping and appears to be very honest.

4) How did u make your program popular
I'm in PreLauch but I think - Great Customer Service

5) Where do advertisers advertise most on your site
Gotta agree there is not much advertising out there and search engines do pay but they kind of get old after a while. Probably best to set up a search portal for all the searches.

6) If you donot support paypal do you loose advertisers or may be members?
I don't like PayPal but it is the main stream cheap provider for money transfer. Yes you would probably loose support from a good many customers and advertisers if you didn't have it.[QUOTE]

1) Tombmailer.com

2) I first paid thru Frank (Create A Click) , Paid about $200 thru them than I got the upgrade thru John (Cash Crusader)(Price was taken care of John was really nice but the upgrade is $99 now)

3) You can buy your domain at dnbuy.net for 8.99 a year and just recently I won from the site an extra year added on. I first hosted with John which was $15 than started raising-John is an excellent host as well as lucidity hosting who I now host with for $15 a month

4) Tombmailer became popular when Create A Click first announced it after that members where flocking every where course half were multiple account over 3000 were, Just now I have started deleteing inactives so I can keep the prices low and and get better click thrus for the advertisers.

5) I seem to notice when you offer referrals you will get more advertisers coming in. They also like specials.

6) Paypal is only supported at this time as egold and stormpay have been frozen.

Hope this helps with your survey aa.gif

6) I do support PayPal and e-Gold, and will update the site to accept StormPay and MoneyBookers for advertising as soon as I get a spare moment.
