i think you need to limit it down to what it is you want your site to do, if your looking for somthing nice and easy php nuke is allwase easy and has planty of hacks and shiny things to play around with.
Well one thing, is I don't want to write content/articals. I wan't to install a script - done. I've run image hosting before and I used 20gb in the first week so I don't want that (closed now). And I've run a directory before, though I'm having problems - I can't be bothered to add links(affiliateprogramdir.info)
Turnkey script reseller - basically the backend and the frontend (if you choose to use it) is there for you. However, with a little bit of work you can have a unique look. I have an account there and it's been great for sites I've sold and ones I plan on using.
No offense, but it seems like whatever you do will not be successful because you don't want to do ANYTHING. You can't be bothered to add links, write content, or any other basic tasks. You will NOT find a script that you will install for under $10 and it will change into a huge money making site. It takes a lot of time and effort to make a successful site.
No offense eh? Anyways, I've decided to go with the Paid-To site idea. Anybody know which script Misty and Sams cash uses? The link to Misty and Sams cash: www.mistyandsamscash.com
i don't get what that site is about lol, I guess it's just a big discussion forums. Though like stvn42088 said, there are no quick ways, cheap ways, or automatic ways into making huge sites/money sites. You have to work at least some in order to generate even a small amount of money. Sitting down and find some cheap automated scripts:
1) If its cheap, it's most likely to be VERY unstable, ie no development support, if an extreme bug arises in the system, you're done for.
2) Might be a scam, the script itself might have some sort of function to it that will compromise/send datas from your server back to the original developer.
3) Never turns out good
You should probably focus attentions and such on your hosting and expand from hosting related materials and at least dedicate 5-8 hours a day managing your websites. Even Bill Gates had to work for what he has today.
Sorry if my post seemed a little too harsh or offended you (no offense meant btw), I just wanted to prove my point that "Money comes from Hard Work".
Actually, I wasn't much offended by you comment. In fact, that really helped...just so that you know, I started http://about.frandt.com, describing www.frandt.com 's hosting services, so hopefully, I'll gain affiliate fees. Still got alot of work to do though...
