PayPerInst File Affiliate Program Review

Today we’re reviewing the affiliate program PayPerInst, which helps monetize download traffic. This kind of affiliate program is a great way to boost revenue from a site with download traffic without cutting into your other monetization formats. In this review, we’ll look at how monetization works and what the program has to offer.

How Does Monetization Work? And How Are You Paid?

Monetization works by distributing a free “File Download Assistant”, which installs advertiser software on users’ computers in the form of:

• homepage replacement
• browser extension/add-on
• antivirus
• browser
• other third-party programs

You get paid for each installation triggered by the downloader. You can check pricing per downloader launch in the “Rates” section — rates vary by device type and user country.

No software is force-installed — users can decline by unchecking the relevant checkbox in the installer’s advanced settings. If they do so, no payment is made. Beyond earnings from downloader launches, the affiliate program also lets you monetize mobile advertising installations across any mobile device.

How to Get Started with PayPerInst?

To get started with PayPerInst, register an account. After registration, add your site and wait for moderation. Once approved, install the code on your site — you’ll find it in the “Install Code” section, along with setup instructions. Once the code is installed, it will automatically convert all file download links on your site into affiliate links.

If you don’t have your own site and just want to drive traffic from other sources, you can use the built-in file hosting service. Go to the “Files” section and upload your files. Click on a file name to copy the link and start driving traffic. There’s also an option to connect your own domain.

Payouts:

PayPerInst pays out via Webmoney, Qiwi, and Google Pay. The minimum withdrawal amount is just $2. To request your first payout, add your wallet in your account settings, then submit a request in the “Payouts” section. Payments are processed within 3 business days.

Verdict:

PayPerInst is a great solution for adding extra monetization to your site if you have download traffic. What we liked: a low platform fee of just 10%, a 5% referral program, a very low minimum withdrawal amount, a comprehensive set of tools and detailed statistics, download support across all browsers, and mobile device compatibility. We can only recommend giving it a test. If you’re an arbitrage specialist, this program works for you too — just upload any files, connect a domain, and start driving traffic.
