Show and ask IH: I created a free photo sharing platform
Hello, indie hackers,
I created a free photo sharing platform which targets to Asia region photographs. Currently, the website is in a beta stage with over 349 photographs.
How do I monetize from this website?
Currently, I added google ads.
Here's the site: https://myanpx.com
The most common way to monetize photo sites is typically charging a modest fee for commercial usage ... is there a reason you don't want to do that?
It's really hard to monetize? Since there are tons of free photos websites?
Why can't you do both?
Like, pay monthly $1 to be ads free?
No, like, pay $5 to download this photo and use it for commercial purposes.
If your site is the only place to find that image, it's unique, you can charge for the convenience of downloading a high-resolution image and using it commercially.
