While looking for a place to store some of my files for free, I found File Factory. I thought that this might be a good solution to put my files that can be made available for download. This way, I don’t have to host the files on my server, and we won’t get the bandwidth strain.

It seems like a fairly simple service to use. Just sign-up and upload. You get 100 GB of file sharing space. That’s a lot.

There are two types of services available: Basic (Free) and Premium ($12/mo or $99/year).

The basic service has some limitations, such as download limits for your users. When you upgrade to Premium, you take off that limit. Plus, you can also take part in the File Factory Rewards programme, wherein you can get paid for the downloads that your users make. The payments vary, but for power users, they promise to pay about $10 per 1,000 downloads.

Yes, not only do you get your files hosted, you also get paid when people download the stuff that you put up. This is great if you’ve got a popular file that people enjoy downloading, such as music, ebooks, etc. That way, if you’re offering your file for free, you can still be rewarded if you host it on File Factory. Sounds like a great idea. But, I have to admit, I have only tried the basic plan for now. I’ll have to gauge the usage of my files to see how popular they’d be first and then decide whether I’ll benefit from the rewards programme or not.

Try File Factory.

Then, let us know what you think of it!

File Factory: Making Money with File Sharing

If you’re an online entrepreneur who wishes to:

• Sell digital and tangible products using a web-based online shopping cart;
• Create affiliate programmes to help you sell your products; and/or
• Join affiliate programmes to make money by promoting other people’s products.

Then, E-junkie might be the online merchant solution that you’re looking for. They allow you to create a shopping cart and/or ‘Buy Now’ buttons to sell downloadable products (such as software, ebooks, photos, etc) on your websites or blogs. Even MySpace, Craigslist, Facebook, and other sites. You can use various online payment systems such as Paypal, TrialPay, and Google Checkout, among others.

E-junkie has no transaction limit, no bandwidth limit, no setup fee and no transaction fee. However, they do charge a monthly subscription fee, depending on the number of products that you’re selling. Charges start from US$5/month (10 products, with 50MB allowance), up to $125/month (999 products, with 999MB).

Some of E-junkie’s features include (from the site):

• Easy to use, centrally managed service

If you do not wish to sell any products, you can still make money from E-junkie by signing up as an affiliate in 2 ways:

1) Be an E-junkie Affiliate for Sellers. You can then promote E-junkie sellers’ products and earn commissions. One issue, I find, however with this, is that E-junkie doesn’t pay you your commission. You have to rely on the seller to pay you. And, if the seller doesn’t pay you, you have to go after the seller, as E-junkie doesn’t get involved in such affiliate transactions.

2) Be an E-junkie Affiliate. Promote E-junkie and recruit sellers & buyers in general. This particular programme is directly involved with E-junkie.

Of course, you can sign up for both types of affiliate programmes.

If you’re already an E-junkie seller/affiliate, we’d love to get your feedback too.
