    Alright, so I just spent the night setting up a photo hosting website. It is complete, looks good and did not cost me a dime. It allows users to upload photos without signup. Or they can signup free and access their photos from anywhere. We also provide links and such to all photos uploaded. It's a nice little program.

    Here is my question. I have no idea how to market this to consumers. I dont know how to drive some traffic to it. Because their arent topsite lists for free photo hosting. Haha. I stumbled it, tweeted it. But this isnt doing much for me. Any ideas?

    Wanna check the site out for yourself? Then see my signature. Any advice is appreciated.

    Well, who is your target market? People sharing photos on social site? If that is the case, you may want to get some people on popular social networks to start sharing using your server and promote on these sites to others.

    Just my 2 cent opinion :D
    You can offer something like people can earn while sharing their photos and gain more if they refer more people.
    Of course, they gain money according to view count.
    But the revenue will be...say $ 0.0001 per view? :p
    And they can get the pay out only by...say$50?

    There's actually a similar site like this but i have forgotten what's the url :D
