Top 10 Best PPD Pay Per Download Sites/Networks

PPD (Pay Per Download) Network is a platform that allows you to make money with your files by locking it with an advertisement or survey before someone could download it. Every time someone tries to access your file, they will have to answer a survey first or fill up a form before they can download it, then you earn money for every person who completes the survey or fills up the required information needed. The technique to get more downloads to your file is by sharing its link to social media, forums, youtube and other places where your file is related that people might want to download it.

Here are the best PPD Sites, ranked according to their popularity.

1. ShareCash.org 
http://sharecash.org/

Sharecash is the oldest and currently the best ppd network which started in 2009. They offer pre-uploaded files for members to promote so if you don't have a file to promote yet and you can't think of what kind of file you're going to promote, then just go to their exclusive content which can be found on your account dashboard and choose which one you like. They have premium eBooks, game guides, and software and you are free to distribute these files without violating copyright laws. This is the the best feature of sharecash that's why I placed them on #1 spot for the list of best PPD sites.

Sharecash pays around $1 to $20 for every file download but you will usually earn an average of $1 per download. You can get more if your traffic comes from Tier 1 countries (wealthy countries) because people their have a higher standard of living than in developing countries. So if you get 1,000 downloads to your file, that means you'll earn around $1,000 as well.

Payment Method - Payza, Payoneer, Wire Transfer, Check, ACH

Minimum - $20 for Payoneer, $25 for Payza, $50 for ACH, $100 for Wire Transfer and Check

Payment Schedule - once a month for Standard members, twice a month for Gold members, once a week for Elite members

The content locker automatically detects mobile devices, it adapts according to the screen size  and displays the best converting offers based on the user's location (Geo-targeting). They pay from $.20 - $20 per conversion depending on the user's country. So again, getting downloads from Tier 1 countries will earn you more. You can also monetize your webpages if it contains premium content by using their content locker. Just copy the JavaScript code and paste it to your to your HTML code.

Make sure that you only lock the content that is very valuable to your users and you must also own the copyrights to it.

Payment Schedule - Weekly, Net 15 days, Net 30 days

3. Adscend Media
http://adscendmedia.com/



AdscendMedia is another popular Content Locking Network that started in 2009 and offers monetization tools to help affiliates make money with their online content. AdscendMedia is one of the largest incentive-based performance marketing platforms on the web and they have a dedicated account management team that is their to help their members maximize their revenue by sharing monetization tips and techniques.

Payment Schedule - Net 15 Days, Net 30 Days

5. FileIce
http://fileice.net/

FileIce is a private PPD network currently in beta testing and the number of people they approve is "strictly limited" according to them, so I can say that they aren't newbie friendly and they only approve applicants that they think is already experienced in this niche. In order to increase your chances of getting approved on Fileice, it is necessary that you should have made money already on other PPD sites and you have to be clear on how you're going to promote and drive traffic to your files when you write it during your application.

FileIce offers an average of $1 per download just like sharecash and their average EPC (Earnings Per Click) is
$0.20 from US traffic with conversion rates over 25%.

If we're going to compare FileIce with ShareCash, both of them are high quality platforms but ShareCash have 2 advantages over them. The first one is that Sharecash is newbie friendly, they accept applicants that doesn't have much knowledge about making money with this niche yet and they let them learn and grow inside their platform while FileIce don't, they are strict when it comes to accepting new members. The second advantage of ShareCash over FileIce is that they offer pre-uploaded exclusive files for members to promote which is helpful especially if they don't have their own files to promote yet. Again, both FileIce and ShareCash are high quality and both of them pay around $1 per download, it's just that ShareCash isn't strict when accepting applications from new applicants.

Payment Method - PayPal, ACH Direct Deposit, Wire Transfer, Check

Payment Schedule - Net 7 Days, Net 15 Days

They have several monetization tools from File Locker, Link Locker, Content Gateway, Sofware Locker, Video Locker, and Content/Webpage Locker that members can use to monetize their apps, games, eBooks, music, files containing passwords and other digital contents that would be valuable to people. They also have an active support team that responds within 24 hours.

Payment Method - PayPal, Wire Transfer

Minimum - $50

Payment Schedule - Weekly, Net 7 Days, Monthly

7. Cleanfiles
http://cleanfiles.net/



Cleanfiles is another high quality PPD Network that started in 2012. They also pay an average of $1 per download but they are choosy when it comes to accepting new members, so if you want to get accepted to their network, you need to convince them that you're already making money with other ppd sites and has already a lot of experience with this money making method. Cleanfiles also have content/webpage lockers that members can use to monetize certain pages of their website that contains premium content. Their minimum cash out is $50 and new account must be at least 3 weeks old to be able to cashout, after that they'll start sending payments weekly.
