Free Downloads For Profits
Making money by providing free downloads to visitors.
(Disclaimer: For educational purposes only)
Method Type:
White Hat
Revenue Source:
PPC, Affiliates
The Concept:
Create a website that offers free downloads to visitors.
In return, a percentage of traffic will click on your Adsense Ads.
Average Reported Income:
$5 - $30 a day per website.
The Method:
The process is rather simple. Humans love to get free stuff and tell others about it. Your site looks altruistic in nature, because you are providing free downloads, so they return again and again for more downloads. In addition, they tell their friends about your site, thus further increasing your traffic.
Some examples of free downloads:
1. Ebooks
2. Graphics
3. Music
4. Website Templates
Try to be creative. Think about what you are an expert in, create something based on this that can be downloaded and used. An example might be an architect who creates templates or graphics for AutoCAD or a graphic designer who creates filters for Photoshop.
Please keep in mind that you should only provide downloadable material that you have copyrights to. Nothing will sting worse than getting caught by Adsense for hosting copyrighted downloads and getting your account banned.
Summary Overview:
1. Buy a domain and hosting with keywords related to your downloads.
2. Create downloadable materials.
3. Setup website or blog.
4. Optimize layout for Adsense.
5. Upload and post the downloadable product.
6. Generate traffic.
7. Rake in money.
Final Word:
The major benefit of this approach is the word-of-mouth factor. People will likely tell others where to get the free product that you are providing on your website. This is a great way to instantly increase traffic and make it a popular website.
The negative aspect is that the downloads could require a large amount of bandwidth usage. You should make sure that your hosting plan has the required transfer to handle the traffic coming in for downloads.
