Maximum Income Streams?

I recently started a new stock photo website (first link in sig). Now growing nicely with many new members each day. Site only has Adsense on it generating couple of $ a day but in the new year I want to monetise the site completely.

The site offers free stock photos so can't get revs from that like most other stock photos sites. Im sure Im going to have:

- Adsense
- 2 or 3 home text links
- google referrals (from members area).

But I need as many income streams as possible. Im happy to put money in for the coding to implement new features that can generate revs.

I thought about photographer upgrades (homepage photos featured, extended descriptions/keywords, biography photo etc)

Does anyone have any other ideas of ways I could generate revenues? Any other thoughts, however basic or outside the box welcome!

 

chrissatchwell,

Just a suggestion, but I would get rid of the php session ID's by doing mod_rewites on your site. This will increase search engine traffic big time. More search engine exposure=more revenue...

 

I am a photographer and actively post images on http://www.sxc.hu/

Take a look at their site and search for a term. On the bottom of the first few pages, there are links to similar images on a paid photo site. Maybe you can sign up on some affiliate programs? Maybe amzon and offer discout photo equipment / supplies?

 

Thats pretty good idea Drig, I will take a proper look into it later. thanks.

cheers for the tip aswell energydude, improving seo is always key.

Any other ideas?
