Earning Money From File Sharing

    Hi guys,
    I bet this has been asked before and I apologize for bringing up this topic again. I have been reading on and off about how one can make easy money from fire sharing but never took the plunge. I am primary writing for a couple of online businesses and now want to broaden my horizons to make some cash on the side. Just have general queries and I hope someone here is kind and patient enough to help me out. Please do give me your inputs.

    Is Filesharing an viable option for someone based in India? And are the concerned sites fair with their payouts?

    What kind of files are recommended to for uploads?

    Do websites like Filesonic File Factory ban you if you upload copywrited material?

    Any other tips or ideas for a newbie?

    Thanks

    Thanks for your input :) I heard you can get like 30-50USD per day though it sounded too good to be true! I have been basically been writing for blogs for the past two year and earn a decent amount by just spending 2-3 hrs a day. But now a lot of blogs are shutting down and I need to find a stable alternative to writing! Not to mention the rates some of the blog owners offer for writing is abhorrent!

    Well, im not saying it isnt possible to earn that, but i guess you need to have an insane amount of downloads to achieve that amount...

    I have tried this damn thing just last month. I was then just hoping to at least earn $10 a day with filesharing. Unfortunately, I realized that without a high traffic website with loyal readers, it is not possible to earn that money.

    Not so much that, if you have something thats worth downloading, not just stupid eBooks, then you should get a tonne.

    Can I ask what you were uploading? I was thinking of music and movies but then the copyright issues crop up!

    I have listened that majority of online money making policy are based on fake technique. No one can give you free money or big payment for small works. I did never went into deep on this topic because my two friends were duped. I would love to listen more and more from my DP friends.

    Basically most people steal videos(mostly porn) and then upload mass amounts of them to one of the providers like oron.com then if they get Example: 2gigs of downloads and they give you $25ish dollars.
    Basically you need to get a zillion people to download your stolen stuff.

    Its hard to make good money off of it but there are some people who own forums that share tons of downloads and they make a fairly well lifestyle from the revenue.(most of them going to hell, but at least they make good money).

    The only way to make this work and even then you still couldn't live off it and would need to do other work, is signing up to somewhere that pays well (say $30-$40 per 1000 downloads). And then upload heaps of Adult content and post it around the web or on forums in that niche. You could try the music and movies arena but because that is illegal I wouldn't recommend it.

    Uuummm...
    In my opinion filesharing works a lot to get EXTRA visibility plus extra popularity. In practice you can use filesharing to improve your BRAND (think to CocaCola, they use TV spots to improve their brand).
