Here's how it works (based upon the knowledge I've gathered):

Laptop with 2 network cards, 1 receiving 1 sharing to the router. From the router you broadcast the network you receive on 1 of the network cards.
In my area WiFi is free btw at airports. So don't have to buy anything .

That's the first step. You first need a laptop with 2 network cards. Once you have that, go ahead and get yourself a long range router, capable of spreading the WiFi signal over 150m or more. If you want to supply an actual connection, you'll have to purchase a plan from a mobile service provider and use that to power your WiFi.

You then set up a landing page, a front page, which has a specific offer that must be completed in order to access the WiFi. This is where you bank the cash, once someone completes an offer, such as an app download or a survey requiring their email.

You can also make your own offer that requires their email as well. As Zehking implicitly stated earlier, you can then use some email marketing to milk these emails you collect, making more money.

How much you earn per click depends on the offer and the type of traffic completing the offer. Now, as you are a Newbie (as am I) you may not know about the effect traffic quality has on earning potential.

Most offers pay more for European/ American/ Canadian leads over other leads such as Asian/ African leads. Leads = number of people opting in for a specific offer (in this case, your/ the offer). This all depends on the offer. So if you come from a country like India, you may not make as much money as Zehking for example as he's based in the UK and most ad offers pay out higher for UK leads.

Once all that is done, set up this connection in a busy place such as a mall and leave it running for a few hours. Once you're done, pack up and go.

Yes this still works but its harder in most developed countries. A lot of the malls that I know of provide their own free WiFi so somehow getting passed that won't be simple. You can always set up your hardware at a popular store but I think this would be hard without getting the consent of the owners.

You can always convince them but it would still be difficult.

I'm busy thinking of a more discreet way to do this in public places such as parks, etc. Ultimately, I would love to set it up and forget about it but that doesn't work in public: someone's bound to steal your shit.

how do yo mean by "You might ask me where I get my internet connection from, but that's very simple, and problably very blackhat"?

Zehking said:

I've not tested it 24/7, since I mainly target shopping centers, which are EASY. People come there to shop, so if they get some 'deals' on a fake page, they would click through. The people are interested anyway since that's the reason why they come to that specific place.

Same as airports. Why not point them on a discount for a specific airport restaurant, or carpark. And give them a link to it on my landingpage?

You might ask me where I get my internet connection from, but that's very simple, and problably very blackhat. I just get it from their own facilities, at their own airport.

Why put more effort in it, while most places already give all the things you need?

Seems that the entire method is unsustainable, according to the other 28 pages. There are many legal issues that come into play here and OP went silent after page 3. As mickyfu said, OP wished he could £300 a day.

Interesting method, would like to try it but for ppl who live in tier 3 country like me is useless

Well if we assume for a second that you already know how to do this, or you have the perseverance to learn you could set it up where you live, have a journey, chronicle what happens, and then make your real money by training unmotivated and unimaginative people in 1st world countries.

You give them step by step instructions guiding them the whole way. Do the first few for free to get some rep and show that you know what you're doing. And then you can start charging for it or maybe sell an e book or training course with your accumulated technical knowledge and practical knowledge....

Assuming you can just insert a link as the "captive portal" if the person doesn't know how to set up a landing page and the offers/ads you could even do it as a joint venture. They provide the equipment and legwork, you provide the knowledge and landing page. You keep your American counterpart informed and give them a decent cut so they keep going out and getting the traffic. Worst case scenerio they create their own landing page and waste your time, but if you're also charging for the training you still get that. Now if they actually have to access the webpage and log into it and stuff then that of course would complicate the joint venture idea.

Wow, read 29 pages. Wasn't worth it.

As mickyfu and Sephrata several times mentioned, finding a reliable affiliate network, allowing much traffic from the same ip address, will be very hard.

But shouldn't it be possible to twist this method without a affiliate network? I'm thinking about using a premium sms provider (Short Code Billing / P-SMS). Customers are used to use codes, which they get by SMS, to authenticate for free wifi.

1. Rent a premium number, from a premium sms provider and a keyword. E.g. "wifi"
2. From the most premium sms provider you get a link for a form, in which the customer has to enter a phone number.
3. Implement a link to the form, with a button "Get access to free wifi" or something.
4. The form of the premium sms provider want's to show the visitor, that this service will cost something, and the costs will added to his phone bill. Hide all this information. So the visitor is still thinking, the wifi is free and enters his mobile number. To do so, maybe some premium sms provider allow using their forms within iframes, but I dont think so. But it's your network, should be easy to inject some CSS inside the providers form website, which hides the price tags. Sure this will break the secure https connection and the visitor will maybe notice, that the connection isn't no more safe... but hey... free wifi!
5. The visitors enters his mobile number
6. Visitors get instantly a sms with a code, which the visitor has to enter in the form from the payment provider. (Chose a premium sms provider that does not mention the costs inside this sms. Some providers send only the code in this sms, because they already mentioned the costs on the form which asked for the mobile number)
7. Visitor enters the code or gets asked to answer this sms with your chosen keyword.

I think the conversion from visitors could be quite good, because this process is familiar to visitors. At least I know this process from free wifi in trains and big fast food restaurants, with a yellow M.

Wondering if some premium sms provider check their payment forms for injections like this. Maybe it's easier to build a own form, for entering the phone number, already without the price tags, which only hands over the number to the actual form from the payment provider. The same with the form, where the customer should enter the authentication code.

Another twist could be using a WAP billing provider instead of a premium sms provider. It's more comfortable for the visitors. Just an click on a button, and the visitor will be charged. WAP billing also allows subscription. The subscription for a wifi access.

Many visitors won't notice the extra 3,99 EUR/USD or other costs on the monthly bill. Some will complain about the costs, and will ask their telecommunications company, from there the costs come. But unless the visitor has a clew, it is from the wifi you provided, AND joins the wifi again, to make screenshots, evidence of the payment website, without the price tags, there should be no problem.

Because you used a serious premium sms provider, that uses payment websites with clear informations about the costs and the visitors uses the keyword/authentication code. It will look like, the visitors didn't see the price tags, and bought a paid wifi subscription by mistake.

Only some hypothetical thoughts.

so after 29 pages..... has anyone who has tried this made money yet?

@Inception_AC I'm wondering too since you have a lot of people jumping to conclusions about this working without even reading the last 28 pages

Nothing illegal in this I suspect as long as you actually provide the wifi access that you offer in return for registering, email submit, download, etc. I see the big issue being if someone decides to download the entire game of thrones back catalogue whilst connected - thats going to make for an interesting mobile data bill

Doing this in a number of countries would be illegal.

Here in the uk, any premium rate call/sms must clearly state the cost BEFORE the service is used.

There are huge penalties for non compliance.

So.. this thread is dead then? No one to report any findings with this method ?

i noticed my phone android ip address changes every time i activate mobile data ,ithink this will solve the problem of same ip .
i want to set up the system to my mobile hotspot by creating captive portal with cpa offers .
and find app that can open and close mobile data automatically
can anyone help me tell me how to do it ?

If only financial then it's just a business cost

29 pages..... at least 3 people claim to have bought routers.... not one single story of it working
