how fileserve makes money?

Just wanted to understand their business model and how it works.

I understand they people the uploaders per 1000 downloads and so on. They also have got quite stable servers.

So how do they make money?

dude, it's simple.
people buy premium meberships from ther site and they earn money

erm, people buy premium accounts. That's one way of getting a fair amount of money

The initial investment is from your own side. As the filehost starts getting popular, uploaders come into play => more links of the same filehost. That'll give a boost to the filehost, which inturn gets you visitors that buy premium accounts. O.o

That's one way, the other one can be advertisments/pop-ups

mhm..none of our business actually
but I think , one should have lots of initial funding , and must be ready to incur initial losses..

If they have 1000 dedicated PREMIUM accounts and every month they renew their accounts.


Lets say 1000 people renew their membership this month.


$9.99 x 1000 = $9990


That is only 1000 people FYI.


FS is VERY popular now, I have no idea how many premium people they have but its always increasing. So even if they pay you alot of $$ every payout for uploaders, in return they get dedicated members who will pay for the next month.

they make money from premium accounts sales

I think there is some "referal" thing for file sharing sites to..
