On the Internet, you can make money on almost everything. This trend has not been spared by torrents either. Of course, these ways of earning money can hardly be called very profitable, but they can bring at least some pretty penny.
First, remember that it is illegal to distribute copyrighted files. Therefore, the recommendations described below apply only to documents created by you or the rights to which are freely available.
Earnings on distributions
One of the most common ways is to make money on distributions. The archive contains the necessary program files, as well as a document containing the advertising message. Since the coverage of one torrent can be hundreds of thousands, many users will see ads and, accordingly, some of them will definitely bring money.
The subject of advertising can be very diverse. For example, if you are distributing a computer game, you can place an ad in the archive for a new online project that pays for invited users. Let's say your torrent has been downloaded by 100 thousand users and only 1% have registered. An average of 15 rubles is paid for one registration, so you can earn 15 thousand rubles.
These are simplistic calculations, but they help you understand how it works. Moreover, this way of earning money is not prohibited. You don't force users to even open ads - they do everything on their own. Moreover, they do not need to pay any money for registration. True, some projects prohibit such activities, so carefully read the rules of the resource on which you are going to do the distribution.
Services and paid giveaways
In addition to advertising other people's projects, you can also promote your own services. For example, if you are a website designer and are handing out various fonts, brushes, or cliparts, indicate that you can custom-make the desired project. Of course, you are unlikely to get a whole stream of customers, but you can meet a couple of interested persons.
You can also make money on paid giveaways. That is, in order to connect to your project, users will have to pay a certain amount. In Russia, however, this practice is not widespread, but it can often be found on Western resources. On average, the cost of one connection ranges from $ 1 to $ 3.
The latter method is not directly related to torrents, but allows you to earn money on them. Create a site where you will collect the most popular offers for this type of data exchange. If you correctly promote the project, very soon interested users will start visiting it, and you will be able to receive money for advertising posted on the resource.
In addition, you will be completely sure that no one will block you, and you will be able to use the first two schemes. True, in order to collect a large audience, it will take a significant investment of time and effort, but the result will be really worthwhile.
