Making Lots of Money With Hotfile

Hotfile is a website that allows you to earn money every time somebody downloads something that you uploaded.  Blog owners like me can also earn 5% of any profits made when someone becomes a premium member, but that’s not where the money lies.  In order to sign up, or if you’d like to learn a bit more about the program, check out the Hotfile Website.  The reason I said “Making Lots of Money” rather than “Making Money” is because there are so many ways to make money with Hotfile, at least one of the ways should help you hit the jack pot with this affiliate program!  There are a multitude of ways to promote your Hotfile links, in my opinion the hardest part is figuring out what to upload!

A few options for things you could upload to Hotfile are:

1. Movies
2. Games
3. Softwares

The list goes on and on, and the only reason it’s hard to figure out what to upload is because there are so many things to choose from.  What is it that people want to download most on the internet though?  I’d have to go with a) music and b) porn, and luckily for us both of those things are really easy to promote!  Plus, you don’t have to be completely honest when you are getting people to download your files, just as long as your not maliciously getting people to download viruses.  Remember, what you’re doing is sharing files that really don’t belong to you… this is another one of those blackhat methods you could get in trouble for.  To add a bit of humor to this article, let me just remind you that you wouldn’t download a car (well you can’t anyways).

So I would suggest going to torrent sites like; Thepiratebay or mininova to find albums of music or collections of porn videos that you could upload.  Download what you need to download, and then re-upload the files to Hotfile.  Alright, and now we get to move on to the fun part.  Promoting your links!

I’m going to be as creative as I can and give you 5 ideas for promoting your Hotfile links, just be aware that when I can think of 5 ways to promote something off the top of my head… there are probably 100s of other ways that you could promote your links.

A) Use tinyurl or bit.ly to shorten your affiliate links!

1. Go on youtube and research some videos related to whatever you uploaded to hotfile and comment them with your link.  For example; if you uploaded a music album then look up one of the songs in the album and view the video.  Comment on that video with a shortened link to the album you uploaded.
2. In order to actually add links to a video, you could try uploading your own video to youtube and add the links in the description.  Music videos and strip tease videos are always some of the most viewed videos on youtube.  Just look at Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” Video.
3. Update your twitter profile (or other social networking profile) whenever you upload a new file.   I’ll teach you how to build up a twitter profile soon.  In this case I’ll just assume you already know how to get a lot of followers on your twitter profile.This would be the same as creating a blog in the same niche as the files you are uploading.  Reviewing the music/videos and then giving your readers a download link.
4. One of my favorite methods of promotion would be to create a text file/pdf file with a link to your Hotfiles.  Put that text file in a zip folder named something like EltonJohnAlbum.zip, and then turn that zip folder into a torrent file and upload it to thepiratebay.org.  As long as you are uploading something popular to thepiratebay it will get plenty of traffic on its own.  When people download your file thinking it has the mp3s, they will look at your text file and realize that the actual download is on hotfile.
5. Another option would be to join forums that revolve around sharing files.  Porn/music enthusiastic/image/warez forums would probably work the best.  You could add your links into your forum signature, and also write posts about your files.

Anyways, that’s my 5 methods for promotion, remember there are plenty more out there!  Remember to signup for Hotfile and give it a chance, I know quite a few people that are making money with this website .
