Indeed, definitely some good advice that I always stick by. Although sometimes it can be hard to implement ads later on when there wasn’t any in the beginning that’s why I always recommend people that know they’re gonna have ads on their blog to put them up from the start so later on it’s not an annoyance to their readers.

Pray that your financing can hold out during that timeframe…

Then, once you have the traffic flowing through your file hosting service… the monetization idea will come to you – hopefully it will be white hat and not evil, or.. err, not *too* evil. 🙂

is it possible to own the rights to the photos that are uploaded and sell the full resolution versions like stock photos? Of course, most photos will be no good but some may be ok. Or maybe compile them into collections on DVD.

You would also want to encourage amateur photographers to use your service for this to work rather than people that take personal photos of friends and family.
