Earn money by uploading and downloading files

That’s right. You can earn money by downloading, uploading, storing and sharing files. Uploading.com and depositfiles.com is couple of site that I found which enable this money making opportunity. Is it too good to be true? Well, it’s true that you’re able to earn some money through these sites but there are some rules and regulations. First of all only members from certain countries are eligible to earn money through these sites. If you’re from US then you have the chance to earn money from the sites. You’re able to earn $5~$30 per 1000 downloads from the files that you upload, bedside that you’re able to earn money from referring others too. You might not earn much but I think you sure able to earn some. Basically if you upload some useful things that are needed, you should be able to get lots of downloads. Things like business plan, excel work file, sample of power point presentation, research data, meeting minutes, pictures, music as long as it’s legal.
There are actually lots of free uploading, downloading and file sharing sites available online. Competition between these sites struggling to survive is fierce. The idea of giving out part of the revenue to users really is attractive. At least it will attract lots of users in a short period of time. It’s actually a good idea for a start out promotional purpose. In long term basis, user friendly and good services still the 2 basic things that keep the site alive. Will these 2 sites survived? Time will tell.
