If you have a website or anything online that can be downloaded by people, why offer it for free? No, I am not referring to adding ads on your website. It is possible to make money from your website without being associated with any ad groups. Does that surprise you? Don’t be. This is just the trend that has been coming in for a long time now. Pay per download is the new ‘in-thing’ that has been giving a lot of benefits for all those who wish to make some money by their website, which otherwise was almost like social service. And they have all the reasons to do so, keeping the investment absolutely minimal.
What is pay per download?
Pay per download, as it literally suggests is a way to earn money each time someone downloads anything from a website. The one who owns the website can lock the content in a link, and befire he gets to unlock for downloading, there is a small task that needs to be completed. Once the task ends, the user can download from the website.
The owner of that website is the one who gets the amount that is decided for each download. This amount is given to the website owner by a special website which arranges the pay per download network for you. This paying website is in a tie up with merchants who are the real payers. These merchants are the actual task designers and each task completion helps them, and they pay you for the download.
Does the downloader really pay?
The answer to this is, no. Though it is referred to as ‘pay per download’ or PPD, the actual strategy works quite differently. As you now know, that it is actually the merchants who arrange the tasks, who are the real payers. Their strategy is simple- let me host my action or task on your link, let your user complete it for me and generate traffic for me, and you will be paid for each time that happens.
Why should one choose PPD?
One should choose Pay per download to monetize even the smallest bit that is being uploaded by them on their websites. There is no restriction on such a network about the form of the download that is made available by the website. Any form of digital content like documents, music files, softwares etc can be made available for download though a PPD network.
