Is uploading profitable?

[Occult]

It has been way too long since I looked into the world of uploading. How is it now?

Lets say someone buy's the $150 script from here, how long till making the $150 back? What are the current trending tips that you would suggest?

I am interested in this too, and have money to invest. Basically I like the idea of sharing something informative or good with the world.

Parking here to see what people say.

Uploading may be profitable but at the same time be expensive from advertising, servers, etc.

Money is not an issue. What I am worried about is making it back over time and not be a never ending money ditch lol

Uploading for money is such a waste of time if your trying to make $500+ it will never happen again. 4 to 5 yrs ago during the Fileserver Filesonic day you could make $200 to $400 a month now you will be lucky to make $75 a month. If you want to make decent money on the internet learn web design and they charge $25 to $50 a hr or sell stuff on Craigslist Ebay and Amazon. There is no other way to make decent amount of money online that will last more than 2 to 3 weeks.

i calculate: script+some plugin+design: about $500 . server + ddos protection about $200 per month. total $700+ for 1 site

file uploading is a expensive but profitable internet marketing if u do it in a proper way..in uploading case fastest wins the race..and if u make it fast then it will be very profitable for u....so think of it..it is a large investment business...soooooo

I can get that $500 worth of goods for less than $200.

It is profitable but risky. Fileserve and Filesonic days were actually good.

You can earn more with video hosting, there are many sites that pay 40-50$ per 10k views for tier A. If you create a good site, do some seo, you can earn a lot of money from ads too. Or you can get access to some big sites, and post your links (to avoid costs). I think it is much better than regular uploading, because there are not many forums and sites like it was before.

Define video hosting please. Thanks.

And can you PM me or post links as well.

Video hosting seems to be the trend but just like file hosting, they are plagued with DMCA takedown requests.
