I know that people create premium rapidshare accounts and sell them for money, but how much do premium accounts actually go for? Is this a viable way to make some money online?
Premium accounts wont make you money because: 1. If you buy a RS Premium and sell them for less you might be in business, if you sell them for more? You won't get ANY money. 2. Why buy a premium from a unsecure person when I can buy it straight from the company itself?
Yeah, most people would not pay for a premium account unless its directly from the source. Even if you incentivise it people may think its too good to be true....
Well, I can say I've bought RS premium accounts from third-parties and have not experienced any problems so far, it's just a problem of finding the right sources, and these accounts are usually cheaper than purchasing directly from the company.
The only effective way to make money from rapidshare is to create one of those search sites, make some simple robots and start collecting rapidshare links, you could really step it up a notch if you made the crawlers figure out the password for the file too (Based on the post) and associate it on your website. fill your site with ads and boom you're off to a very good start.
