For those of you who are familiar with "viral websites", you know how successful they can be. For those who haven't heard the term before, it's basically a website that requires the visitor to send a link to other people to continue, which therefore spreads the website's link exponentially. We personally have seen some of our top earners utilize this method to have their download links go viral and in effect earn nice chunks of money. After seeing the success of this method, we have decided to implement this feature straight into ShareCash as our new Viral Downloader, so everyone can reap the benefits!
When a user clicks "Regular Download" on any download page they will be given a list of four surveys, as usual, and now one option to use the "Social Downloader", which is colored differently to make it stand out. We renamed it to "Social Downloader" instead of "Viral" on the survey page mostly because "viral" sounds too similar to malware to users who aren't experienced with online marketing, even though they are obviously completed unrelated. When a user chooses this option he is given a special link to spread, which he can then post on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, forums, AIM, etc, to have people visit. By default the user is required to have 5 other people download the file for his to unlock. Every time someone else downloads the file through his link he will see his progress bar and percentage increase until it hits 100%, at which time the file is unlocked automatically. So basically, this tool turns one potential downloader into FIVE actual downloads. And if five isn't enough, you can set the number of downloads the user must refer in your "Profile" page. (Note: we are making a separate page for preferences such as this when we release a few more upgrades. At the moment, however, the Profile page is best fit to house this option.)
Besides increasing downloads and helping your links spread virally, this feature serves another important purpose. If there is a user who normally cannot download a file, most likely because he is from a country with little to no offers, he can use this option to unlock the download without needing to fill out a survey or pay a dime. Therefore not only should this help spread your link, but it should also help decrease any complaints you may receive from downloaders.
We are going to be testing different positions for this feature on our download page to see what works best, so you may notice different placements over the next few days. We hope you enjoy this new, innovative feature, and rest assured that more, bigger, and better ones are on the way!
