Create a GPT/PTC site

Hi,
           
       The GPT mean Get Paid To and PTC mean Paid To Click.These are generally money making websites in which you can register in that site and can earn money or start your own website.

What is a PTC website
PTC stands for ‘Paid to Click’ this basically means that the website owner will pay a
person if they click on a link and visit an advertiser’s website for a certain amount of
time. The website owner is paid by an advertiser to place that link on the site.

Why do I want a PTC website
If you are have an account at one of these PTC websites you know that the way to
make the most money from these websites is to get as many referrers as you can and
to hope that they all click which means you get a percentage of all of their clicks. Well
imagine how much money those sites must earn in order to pay you and everyone
else out!
A PTC site is a means to and end, basically what a PTC website can do for you is get a
lot of people/traffic and allow you to build up a trusting relationship with your
members, once you have this trust relationship, you need to use the advantages it
give you to SELL! SELL! SELL!

A lot of members who click in ptc sites daily sometimes think about making their own ptc sites , yet being unable to know what they need or how to run a site stops them from going on and trying to do it .

Introduction
So how do you actually setup and run your own PTC website? In this section I will guide you through all the fundamentals and give you some tips along the way. 

ACCOUNT

                   The first and foremost thing is you need an account to send and receive payments.So you need,

• Verified PayPal Account
• Verified Alert Pay Account
• Liberty Reserve (optional)

The first two accounts is must because they are main payment sources.The PayPal and alert pay accounts must be a verified business or premier account.


DOMAIN NAME
                              Now after having the payment processors you will need to find a domain name for your site.You can start from .info which will cheaper or you can start with any domain as your wish.Some of the well known domain registers are given below.

HOSTING

                   One of the most critical pieces  of the puzzle when running a PTC site is making sure
you select the correct hosting company, because your site will grow fast and the
server will get very busy very quickly so our recommendation would be to use quality
hosting companies or dedicated servers that can handle the big loads.DON'T go for regular hosting sites , because all ptc sites need lots of resources from hosting , so any regular host will suspend your account as soon as you get 300 or 400 members , so from the start find a high resources hosting which is good host for ptc sites. This is extremely important! Many sites fail because of this!!!! Some of the well known hosting are listed below.

TYPE OF SITE

                                  So after getting your domain name and hosting you should decide the type of website you are going to start.There are two types of websites,

• Aurora : which will be low earning site , clicks range vary from .001$ to .0001$ this type of sites mainly depends on the traffic you sell , you will be selling ads for around 25 to 50 cents per 1000 visits or as they call it CPM , most of site earnings will come from traffic sales payouts should usually be low and don't exceed 1$ payout.
• Bux : which will be a high earning site , clicks range vary from .01$ to .005$
  this type of sites depends mostly on memberships sales and rented referrals sales , payouts start from 2$ in most of these sites,usually instant,and payout increases with each payment , like 2$ first payout ,3$ second and so on.

Now you have to decide which type of site you are going to start.This depends on some parameters like,

• How much money you have at the start , if less than 100$ then start an aurora site , if more than 250$ you can make a bux site.
• How much you know about php and designing , if you know a little , then don't risk and start with aurora site , if you have good knowledge then you can go for a bux site.
• How much experience you have in ptc styles , if you just started or short time experience , then  go for an aurora site , if been doing it for long time and making good earnings from developing your own ways in getting referrals , promoting sites you in , then you can go for a bux.

So thing twice before you take a decision and choose the best site which you can make.

SCRIPT
               Once you have decided which site to start then you need the script for that site.If you know php well then you can write your own script or hire some freelancer to write script for your site.The best solution is to buy the script from the market.So based on which site you are going to start there are different script available to you.

Types Of Aurora Script

                                     If you are about to start a aurora site then there are different script available for you to choose.The list of scripts are,

• SDR Series : or also known as scripts done right series , these are based on the previous aurora version , with lots of modifications , and fixes to prevent errors on the old version the versions list till today are :
  * SDR2 : which is good script and has lots of updated features prices of it range from 20 to 25$ , if you are starting a site for first time , this would be good script to use .
  * SDR3 : more developed version than the previous one , with more addons and modifications , more security features , gets updated each 6 weeks as i know price is 45$.

 

• MRV Series : also known as made right version scripts , it's also based on same old script version , modified and enhanced with more features , part of these scripts problem is that some parts in the script are encrypted , which prevents you from modifying these parts , but this is good for security of the script from other hand. it has following versions so far :
  * MRV 3 : few modifications and fixes , nothing fancy , but price is only 6$ so not bad.
  * MRV 4 : a bit advanced than the previous one , more modifications and new features price is 10$.
  * MRV 5 : which is latest version of the script , more modifications and updates in it it's a lot similar to sdr 2 script , price is only 20$.

• ESV Scripts : It is a lately released series of scripts also based on the original aurora 4.0.8 version , with modifications and few changes , mostly in the look but not in internal features , till now the available versions are :
  * ESV 1 : similar to aurora 4.0.8 version with some addons added to it , price is 7$.
  * ESV 2 Standard : more addons installed in this version , some security enhancements too ,                    price is 15$.                                                                                                                                  * ESV 2 Deluxe : same like standard previous version , but with better designs in some pages , also 1 extra addon price is 20$.
  * ESV 3 : still in development stage , but it will include more features price is 40$.

• PTCShop : New script , totally different from all previous versions , easy to modify and add addons to it , more like bux look and feel but with all aurora script usual features i still don't have full details about it yet , will update topic with it once i get more info , price of latest version is 47$ , it's one of scripts you can use to run either aurora or a bux site as it suits both.

These are the available aurora script choose the one which best suits you.

Types Of " BUX " Script
                                           Scripts available for bux sites are a lot , even some are free , but if you are going to make a bux don't even think about free scripts , bux site has lots of incoming and going money and free scripts are easily hackable , so if you use a free script it's like opening your wallet in middle of street and expecting it will be safe .The list of Bux scripts are,

• PTC Evolution : It's one of the best bux scripts , it has all needed feature in a script , security , good look , all bux features , modifiable , instant payments feature , lots of things any owner can use in a bux. The problem of it is the script has some encrypted parts , it's good for security , but it prevents you from making your own additions in the script , any addon you need to add to site needs you to contact the script maker first and pay him a fee so he installs the addon you made , so you will pay twice to add a single addon  , but in general it's really good script , and prices are good too.
• GEN 4+ : Also one of the most unique scripts , easy to modify and add good addons to it , good support team , secure script , but it's a bit high in price , so not every new owner will be able to afford it , but if you can pay for it it's a good deal .
• Zeus : Also good , strong , secure script , lots of sites use it lately , has all needed features in a bux script , with continuous updates , only problem in this script is it needs you to be kinda good in php , as most of settings in admin panel are not easy to set without php knowledge.
• NTeN : New script from same makers of zeus script , it has most of features as zeus , plus some advanced features like theme editing , advanced payments system integration.
• ClixScript : This is recently developed script , developed by a good coder , it's still very new so i don't recommend using it for now , as it's still missing some features like PTSU , plus it's preferred to wait till some others try any new script so you can be aware if any potential bugs before you get it , but for design and look and security it's a really promising script and will get attention after some time.

These are available BUX script in which you choose the best which suits you. 

OTHER STUFF NEEDED FOR YOUR SITE

                                                After choosing domain,hosting,script you need some other things which make your site run smoother and better.The other important things are,

• TEMPLATE : The template gives good look and better design  to your site.This is essential because design is important to attract customers to your site.You can buy the template from internet where lot of models and addons are available to you, choose the one which best suits you and install it to your site.
• FORUM : Now your site will need a support forum , so members can get in touch with you , and you will be able to post updates about site , any contests or offers you currently have , also your members will be able to post if they had any problem , and post their payments proofs which will be good way to show you are honest and paying site.There are several forum script available in market where you can buy the one which is best for you.
• SUPPORT SYSTEM : This will enable you to get members problems and work on it fast so you fix it.
  Good way for direct contact between owners and members , some scripts have built in support system and some does not have.There are many script available which you can choose one which is best and install in your site.
• SETTING UP YOUR TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS) : This is very important which will guide how you deal with your members , how you will pay , what countries can cash out and which countries will need to upgrade , what users can do and what they can't do. Also remember to make something saying your site isn't a MLM site , so when paypal reviews your site they don't limit your account.
• PRICES : Prices of ads you will sell , it's measured by CPM which is price of 1000 ad. At the start you will have hard time getting advertisers , because your site  is small without much active members , so try to make your prices low , something like 2000 visits for 1$ or 3000 visits , just so you attract advertisers and when your site grows , you can provide higher value ads , remember you are trying to balance between advertisers needs and members needs.
• PAYOUT : Start with a low payout value , like 10 cents or 20 cents , this will get you good members activity at the start , also would enable you to sell ads for low price , because if you sell 5000 ads for 1$ for example and you made your payout 1$ , members wont remain in your site and will leave fast.

These are some essential things which you have to keep in mind when starting you own legit website.so follow these steps and you will get success in return.
