I want to make a website that allows people to upload files, and allows linking to the uploaded files. But I have no idea how to monetize it. I can’t really think of any premium features I could charge for, and I don’t think putting adverts on the site will be effective, since most of the traffic will probably be of people just viewing the files, not the website and ads placed there. Has anyone got any suggestions? Has anyone seen how other similar sites monetize it?
Thanks!
Offer some other service, like document scan, image to text and so on. Then charge for the storage on that service. People are too lazy to download from your site and upload to Google Drive.
