hotfile for a living? (is this possible?)

    i was reading a lot about hotfile and people making money, and i've been using hotfile for a couple months already and i earn money from it (yeah, they pay...). Now, i'm thinking about using hotfile to earn the most from it.

    For example i have more than 100 refferals (only 1 giving me some $$$) plus a few websites where i put all the downloads links and im making money.

    I read in another thread that some users are making like 100-150$ a week. But i really don't know how this is possible, okay, yeah it is possible if you sell accounts but you have tons of downloads too.

    if you sell 1 account from any of your websites you get 5% if some visitor buys a 35$ account you get 1.75 so you need to sell like 86 accounts.

    well, i think this is kinda difficult unless you have a really big site...

    so, if somebody knows how to spread my hotfile downloads somewhere (i already tried files tube websites) that would be appreciated

    The whole process sounds way too time taking. Just invest that time into a blog or a forum, it may take a little to get some results, but it'll be far more profitable than hotfile.

    its possible once lots of people sign up in your established warez forum and regularly download your links.

    i suggest you optimize your site, and reach your visitor target, i think with warez and download site you can get 1000-10.000 visitors a month....but remember to target your visitor from a good tier..

    well, i run a few forums, a couple blogs. I try to get affiliates (which i get all the time) and seems to work but in such a lower rate....

    right now i am making a big effort uploading stuff into a blog in which i do not post the content else where (so google can sees the blog's content is original) and it's working pretty good... my blog is a PR3, new urls get's indexed each 2 days and all the files i upload are getting downloads

    right now im focusing in add a lot of content and get more traffic (this is increasing slowly) , the blog is specially setup for downloading so it has related stuff everywhere, it has 0 ads (i mean it).

    the thing is i tried to make the blog turns into a forum but i had no success. I really don't know what i'm doing wrong.

    $100-$150 a week isn't exactly a living. it's around what i make, and i only spend a couple hours a day downloading/uploading/posting.

    concentrate on uploading files over 100mb and post them on as many forums as you can that you think are safe. if you're spreading warez, try to be first one to post on a forum.

    if you're not afraid to get into the porn world, find a niche that's not over saturated and post some of that content.

    what's your rank btw?

    my rank at this moment is Platinum.

    That's exactly what i had in mind but i'm working Long Tail SEO (i know a lot about SEO, forgot to say that) and all the content i add i want it to be unique, if i post in forums like exbii (which i already did) google indexes that content first and exbii takes all the credits in the long tail campaign...

    my monthly objetive are 900 pages each month and last month i just did 300 and my traffic is increasing.

    I don't care working with warez, that's what i do now but i tried posting things at forums and my downloads increased a lot but just in 1 day, i have to post a lot all days just in forums to earn good cash i don't want to work for a forum. What about my blog? i want my site to have visitors too! but i don't care to wait until google gives me some traffic.

    The files i'm uploading never reach 100MB but i don't care right now, i just want to gain more traffic in the long term

    I don't think so.

    But you can if you use multiple file hosting site such as sharing matrix etc.

    If you protected your hotfile links with the service I offer in my sig, then yeah maybe you could make a living out of it.
