MightyScripts.com is the official website of PressFly. PressFly is a self-hosted PHP script. This means you install it on your own hosting or server. We do not host it for you. You use it to run your own article publishing website, where writers earn money. Members write and publish articles, and readers visit them. The writers earn money from every qualified view. You earn money from the ads on the article pages. Think of a community publishing site like Medium, BuzzFeed, or Listverse, on your own domain and with your own rules.
The current version, 3.5.3.1, is built on Laravel 13 and supports PHP 8.5. See the Hosting and System Requirements on this page before you buy.
Who PressFly Is For
- Website owners and business owners who want to start a write-and-earn publishing website. They do not want to depend on the service of another company.
- Niche communities that want their members to write about a topic and earn money for the readers they send.
- AdLinkFly owners who want to show AdLinkFly short links inside articles and grow both websites together.
How PressFly Works
- Members write articles. Writers use the built-in editor to add text, images, and embedded videos or posts. They can save drafts and send articles for publishing.
- Readers visit the articles. Writers share their articles on social networks, and your advertisements appear on the article pages.
- Qualified views earn money. Each view is checked against your rules. Examples are a reading time based on the article length and a daily limit for each visitor. Other rules are a reCAPTCHA v3 score and proxy and ad-blocker detection. Qualified views pay the writer your CPM rate for the reader’s country. CPM is the amount for 1,000 views.
- Writers withdraw their earnings. When a writer reaches the minimum amount, they request a withdrawal, and you approve and pay it.
