rslogoIf you have a premium account on Rapidshare or Megaupload and are living in countries with slow internet connections, you have one big chance on earning money online with your premium account.

Most people having the premium account just go downloading and uploading files everyday. Based on monthly billed account, these accounts only work at mostly not even a half month active usage days. Instead of paying the account for once-in-a-while usage, make it one of your online money making ideas simply just by offer service for uploading or downloading files for others using your account.

It is easy! You don’t have to give them your username and password or else they will start downloading or uploading files without giving anything to you and might steal your online money making idea. Every premium account is limited to a maximum of 150 GB download traffic per month, or depends on the file host sites, divided equally over every day of the month. If there are 30 days in a month, then you will receive 5 GB per day. You are allowed to “save” traffic up to a maximum of 25 GB and can then spend the saved traffic all at once.

Offering this service is basically selling service of uploading or downloading files. Your customers request certain files to be downloaded or uploaded to a file host websites using your account and you’ll get paid by get their requests done.

The advantages of selling this kind of service are:

  • Not everybody has credit card, and this accounts can only be bought by using credit card payment. It’s a good opportunity selling this service to ones who don’t own credit cards, such as students. They need a lot of files to be downloaded, but most of them just don’t own credit cards.
  • Simple and Easy. You can do it wherever you want as long as you have computer set with hard drives and internet access.
  • Cheap. A single premium account only charges you around $5 a month, while you can sell those files at minimum $0.5 per gigabyte.
  • You don’t have to wait until the download or upload process finished. It takes time to download and upload files to or from the internet. You can always do your works while waiting for the files to be done.

Even though the overall system sounds tempting and easy, there are also some challenges of selling this service like any other online money making ideas:

  • Some of your customers may set deadlines while your quota per day already full. You may need to reschedule some of the file downloads or uploads.
  • Some files that can be downloaded might be copyrighted. You can download them for personal use but not to burn them in some CDs or DVDs and sell them or pass them to another person. Some of them might even not allow you to burn them. Make sure you dead OK with this kind of limitations.
  • The files requested may contain viruses, worms, or malwares. They can harm your computer hardwares and some of the file’s data might be missing or broken. You may mention about agreements regarding the download links that may contain these germs to your customers before actually downloading them.

After all, what goes around comes around. You may not be getting a room full of money but it will payoff you account bill, your internet bills, and still some extra bucks just by doing something simple and actually maximizing your account time usage. GoodLuck!
