The Image Hosting Sites Discussion Thread

Hi,

I realised that many are going into image hosting site and yet there has no unique thread about it.

Therefore, I set this thread to discuss about image hosting sites and if you are a image hoster , do participate in this threads.

Some topics which I've thought of is


- How do you make your image hosting site SEO?

- How do you monetise your site?

Well, btw, I do own a image hosting site myself.

www.imagesona.com

 

Can you tell me how to make image hosting site?

 

You get a hosting script and there you go If you wish one send me a PM and I'll explain better.

What I would really like to know is, how you guys make big money? With Adsense only? How much you guys make per day?

 

I believe there are a lot of Image Hosting sites outside there and its a saturated niche however you can still make good money but in order to have a profit you must have a good starting capital to use for scripts , hosting (dedicated server) and advertising

 

Look for a Flickr clone or photobucket clone script.
I may be able to get one for you & install it, pm me for more details.

 

Try using a script name Mihalism Multi Host, it's free and EXTREMELY easy to set up. Then hire a designer to design a custom header and customize the site a little.

I know f***-all about code and see what I made.. http://www.imagedino.com and http://www.imagefinger.com

 

how much money are you guys earning from your imagehost per month?

 

I just started my imagehost after reading Shamus' eBook (which is darn good btw)

 

As you can see from my site, - www.imagesona.com
I am also using Mihalism Multi Host. It is easy to set up and run

I am with namecheap.com for my domain and lacehost for my hosting.

Its into 3rd week since i started, earn a little money, covered my capital running cost for hosting so far..

take a little effort sometimes... to monetise

Now CPM prog are hard to find for my imagehost - anyone has one to recommend?

 

can I see photobucket clone demo?

 

take a look at mine

http://www.bigimageshost.com

i use mihalism script to installl...it is quite easy ....
but i have no time to monetize it ...

 

I guess the most important question pertaining to image hosters is - how to monetise the site

 

I use adbrite on my image hosting site but they still suck at about 50 cents a month.

 

Cyber Quest - Try inserting full-page ads too. They tend o convert well for me.

 

Good stuff. Thanks for the tips toots.

+rep.

 

I mostly avoid hosting images or see images hosted in certain hosting site...many of them have pay-ads.com banners.... when pay-ads.com banner is there it slows my browser...sometimes the computer gets stuck

 

For image hosting sites adsense would be a gold miner. It's easy to be indexed ( if each images are set to be indexed) and you can get millions of views from google search as well as google image search.

 

Is private ad sales effective in image hosting sites? I am talking about 125x125 ad boxes often seen in make money online blogs.

 

So is there any summary on this? Overall is image hosting worth it? If so what's the best route to go down?

Regards.

 

If you promote well enough, and to the right areas, image hosting can be a slightly profitable business (though it is getting over saturated)
