They offer pre-uploaded files for members to promote so if you don't have a file to promote yet and you can't think of what kind of file you're going to promote, then just go to their exclusive content which can be found on your account dashboard and choose which one you like. They have premium eBooks, game guides, and software and you are free to distribute these files without violating copyright laws. This is the the best feature of sharecash that's why I placed them on #1 spot for the list of best PPD sites.

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.
