Ok Heres my idea, mathematically I have proven it works i whether you think it could! Ok here goes! You make a image hosting website, Host loads of images on it that are very popular such as cars or motorbikes or celeb's or xxx or gaming consoles Then go on a car cars or motorbikes or celeb's or xxx or gaming console forum thats popular and post a thumbnail image of a image hosted on your website,(Make sure its a popular image) so when someone clicks it they go to your site, Hopefully clicking on 1 of your site ads, or even just using your site for the future! If you advertise on say 100 forums per day (1 min per forum= 1 Hour 40 Mins Per Day Work) Do this for say 5 different subjects so thats 8 Hours 20 Mins Each day, so If 50 people from each post click on a thumbnail, You will have 100 posts on each subject x 5 subjects = 500 posts, 50 from each post = then thats 25000 hits on your site per day, Now on average its 1000 Hits = $1 on adsense, so thats $750 Half of the money needed. Also If you sell link space on your site say $15 per link, sell 50 Links on 1 column thats another $750 which equals your total of $1500, Now theres a hell of a lot of work to be done but This can be done, dont give up, Then once you have got the money every month you can keep on earning more and more until your image hosting starts to generate natural traffic of this size and you earn that all the time! Good Luck, This can be done! Post your thoughts on this and whether you think it can be done!
Welcome to the wonderful world of image hosts. Thats exactly why I stayed away from them - you can;t use adsense and they dont support themselves - you need constant promotion/spamming forums
wow. that sounds like a lot of work for not much money. If I am going to post up on all these forums everyday... 100 forums O_O, guaranteed to take more than just an hour and 40 minutes... I don't know what kind of robot you may be but anyways, the ideas are there... just that a lot of it is based on speculation or assumptions... I guess you won't know till you actually try it.
Yes, I know, But if you had say 10 collage friends you could make a bit out of it not a lot though!!!
thats the plan of everyone with imagehost.. it needs dedication but if you can dedicate to it, and gets steady users, you'll sure gain whats worth for your effort good strategy though.
First off, image hosting is not a safe way to use adsense with, you have no control on such a system so if people upload inappropriate material, which they mostly will, Google will not be tolerant to you unless you own a huge site, like huge enough to be a premium or something. Second, you can't run a website for long based on personal efforts forum posting(spamming). I think it's a better idea to have an image gallery with good content, so you will attract natural backlinks and you will have control over content which is relatively more secure in terms of AdSense.
To avoid spamming the idea I have always had is instead of taking nuerous time to "spam" in other forums, why not make your own tutorials with step by step screenshots and posting images from your imagehost site, that may be good idea s well.
Your idea looks good but you have to work really hard and you are not sure how much you will get in return. In the beginning it would be tough and once you are successful in bringing the visitors, it may work. Any body here to test this strategy?
