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.

They have premium eBooks, game guides, and software and you are free to distribute these files without violating copyright laws.
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.

5. FileIce
http://fileice.net/
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%.
$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
