Yes, he could close down constant bux once he got the other one running and everyone migrated over. Or he could keep it going

We've already got Solid Snake and Batman. Maybe I should change my avatar to another hero

I think the "investment to withdraw" option is almost like signing a death warrant. A PTC site depends on its free members. If you put that investment barrier, you're gonna have quite the negative backlash.

I've said it before numerous times, buy you should consider revising the advertising prices and the referral click %. You should probably lower it for free members, higher for the Elite members and one or two other memberships in the middle. Using 50% or 100% is making your prices a bit too expensive. Your prices could work if it were a bigger site, but with its current size you should offer a more economical price.

I don't know. Cartoon picture guy is a pretty good superhero avatar. Think about it. Cartoons can never die even if you blow them to.....smithereens....whatever that is....they always come back in the next scene. That is true immortality. So already you are ahead of the game

That is a good option too.. it works on YouGetProfit..

Regarding the user types in addition to this :

Quote:


I was going to add that.. the other 9% includes promoters that know how to promote a PTC site effectively and they are
the ones that guide free members into clicking so that they make good profits from them, (it's not slavery as they also earn)
but also train them so that one day those clickers are gonna become promoters themselves and train others.

And there is probably 1% of simple advertisers that are simply advertising their site and don't care about clicking nor promoting,
nor direct earning. All they are interested in is generating leads for their own products/services through advertising on these PTC sites.

The important thing is that all 3 categories are necessary in this industry to keep things balanced and going.

If you require investment free members will run away.. promoters will find it unprofitable to promote a site that
does not accept free members so they'll run away too.. and advertisers will also look away as the activity on
such a site will not be enough for their needs..

I hope I helped.

Ok, maybe there should be different types of memberships for clickers and promoters focusing on what each one needs.
PTCBox worked like that..

Clickers were able to purchase upgrades that increased their clicks rates..
while promoters could purchase upgrades that increased their referral clicks rates.

To adapt to buxhost there could be a membership that allows a clicker to earn more from his own clicks
while dropping his referral earnings ratio and vise versa.. so.. for example :

Standard Member :
50% personal earnings
50% referral earnings

Clicker oriented membership :
100% personal earnings
10% referral earnigns

Promoter oriented membership :
10% personal earnings
100% referral earnings

Promoters aren't much interested in earning from their own clicks so I believe it will be fine for them.
This way you'll benefit more from any advertising sale. Of course your EPIC upgrade could still be there
to offer 100% both and no clicking required..

Another important thing is to keep upgrades cheap. Think about it.. PTCSolution is one of the top sites
right now and it has been offering premium membership for a year at the price of $29 until a few days ago.
Now they've raised it to $39 which equals to $3.25 / month. That's cheap enough for people to go with it,
keeping in mind that the site currently offers ads worth $0.11 / day for premiums and $0.055 for standards.
This way a member can figure out that the upgraded way can be profitable.

Also another incentive could be commissions from direct referral purchases..
something like 10% for upgraded members would motivate more promoters to upgrade.

And of course bringing up promos and contests all the time greatly increases overall activity.
I think a good idea would be to have a day for special promos. etc. announce a special promo every Sunday.

This way members will make it a habbit to check up your site on that day even if they are inactive, just to
check what your promo is going to be this time.. As for contests there are plenty of types..

Top clicker, top referrer, top advertiser, most active.. etc.
I'm not sure how many of these features buxhost allows you to implement but there are certainly
plenty of ways to keep your members, promoters and advertisers busy.. of course all of these require
you to be busy in the first hand, and that's why I asked a few posts above, how far are you willing to
go with your site.. I've lost my sleep a couple of times working on mine but it did pay off eventually..

If you work hard you'll definitely get rewarded.

But think about it.. when you are promoting a site where there is a required clicking rule and you have a large downline,
do you really click because you are earning from it, or just because you have to (or like to)?

It might not mean much to you if you received less for every click but think about how much
the site would save from such a move..
