I was lookin for places to upload some files of mine and I found a place that says it pays you when people download the files, its only like .1 cents (1/10th) per download, but if its a hot file im wondering if you could actually make money off a site like this? I am just curious if anyone has tried any sites like this before, and what their experiences were. the site I found is http://uploads.bizhat.com/index.php, it looks pretty new so I am not sure I trust it, I signed up anyways I left my referal link out of this since it is one of my first DP threads, I dont want it to seem spammy!
And you have actually been paid? What types of files have you made good money off of? You could make some good money having a directory of free useful tool downloads, that all go to one of these sites for the source...
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=627826 I haven't used any of these though.. Rapidshare and Megaupload seem to be most reliable of all.
I've had some friends who tried programs like these, and when they made enough to be paid... canned. Or, horrible stats reporting (100x off). Etc. Can't say I recommend any of them - you're better off just making a website and putting the file there.
Yeah, I've heard of that happening before too. Like Random Guy said - make a website, host the files there, and make money yourself. If you can become self-reliant in any way, go for it, never trust others to give you what you deserve.
I've seen the best payouts at Sharecash.org, someone actually has $3500 this month already. So, yes you can earn some money, but it takes time promoting.
Use a forum poster upload and upload new files ..... TurboUpload - pays $10 for 500 - 1000 file downloads .....
