Sharecash has been out for a very long time now. But only recently started playing the affiliate marketing game seriously. Essentially what sharecash offer is similar to other gateway networks like CPALead or Zango. Only its combined with a megaupload/rapidshare model meaning that you make money for every download you get. Ofcourse before the user can download their file, they have to fill out a CPA offer.
Seems pretty straight forward right? Well ontop of that, they have a premium system similar to rapidshare. Where the user can pay as little as 4 USD, and be able to download files without having to fill in any offers. Sound’s like a pretty raw deal for the uploader, that is until you find out that you actually get paid 75% of all premium memberships bought using your links. So if a user comes to download your file, and then they decide to buy a 3.99 membership, you will get $3 for essentially “referring” that member.
There is still the old saying that you can do better on your own using your own gateway script, and running your own offers. At first glance, when you see that Sharecash is only paying 25 cents per download, and you could get the same offer for 1.00 on other networks, you certainly think this is the best way to go. But in actual fact the shaving/scrubbing of incentivised offers are out of this world. As far as i know (Could be wrong), i don’t think ShareCash is running off network postbacks, so they aren’t waiting for themselves to be credited for the offer. They are simply counting the downloads and paying you for them, even if the networks decide to scrub off a tonne of their leads. Your still getting paid.
Sounds a bit rinky dink doesn’t it? That sharecash isnt actually counting the leads they get from your downloads, just crediting you every time. But really its the only way to ensure that the user always gets to download a file. Remember if a visitor comes to the site, and filled in an offer, but it never got credited. In the old days of postbacks, that user would have had to go back and do yet another offer until it unlocked.
Ive had the owner tell me before that they arent making money from the people doing 3k in a month from them. They are making money from the premium accounts and the people that come and only get 5 downloads. Then leave their account.
So where’s the proof that you can make money from them? Well, you can always try the open leader board :
The above is of todays leader board. But there is still 12+ hours to go, and earnings skyrocket later in the day. So its definitely only a small indication of the potential.
All in all, ShareCash is one of those gateway networks that have their head screwed on right. They treat the big publishers right by crediting every single download, not just the ones that the network counts. They give the downloader an experience that is easy and right on the button. No issues with having to do multiple offers just to get something to unlock. Give it a go!
P.S. Ill probably write up an article sometime next week about what uploads work and what doesnt.
