Photrade is a really sweet new service in beta I discovered at Blogworld. Its a free place to host your images BUT it makes you money. Its kind of like flikr meets mugshots meets cafepress…… and a lot more. I asked Krista Neher who was at their booth to summarize Photrade:
So thats pretty cool huh? Basically you just upload your photos (there java uploader kicks butt):
Then once your photos are uploaded you can easily share them:
Once you share them you can choose where to place the ad on your photo (if you want to do that)
Then this is what it looks like:
SO just to review:
- You upload and host your photos on photrade
- You get paid a cpm on how many views your photos have (if they are on forums or wherever you still get paid!)
- Someone clicks on your photo comes to photrade and clicks on a ad (like Google Adsense) you get a revshare of that.
- Someone buys your photo (which you set the price on).
- Someone buys a shirt or other merchandise right from the site you get paid!
Now currently photrade is in closed beta but I happened to score a couple hundred invites! If you would like a invite to try this service leave a comment saying so and I will send you one (until they are gone).
I am out of invites

Wow. Seems a nice site and service how you can make money from uploading photos
. I wouldn’t mind an invite if thats at all possible.
I would love an invite.
My wife is a professional photographer. I’m always trying to get her to take stock photos to earn some extra cash. This is an interesting way for her to promote her work and to make some extra coin.
If you consider yourself an amateur photographer you should check out iStockPhoto.com if you are interested in making some extra cash for your work.
Hi,
I would like to receive an invitation to try this new site. Thanks in advance Jeremy.
Hi,
I would like to get an invitation to try this new site. Thanks in advance Jeremy.
I’d love to give that a try, it sounds like a really neat service.
I would love an invite if you still have some to send out. This service looks great, and it would be a great way to make some extra revenue. Good thing I have a new Digital Camera coming to me, so I can start snapping some photos and maybe make some money too.
Thanks for sharing your invites.

Please send me invite. I have tons of photos that make crazy traffic. Appreciate it.
forget to mention i want an invite also
Hi, I would like to receive an invitation to try this new site. Thanks in advance Jeremy.
i’ll like an invite please!
Hello, seems a nice service.
Can I please have one invite?
Thank you.
Please send me one too. Thanks!
Did someone read the whole post or everybody just got stuck at the 2nd picture?
I definitely like an invite!
Thanks
Looks pretty interesting, I would love an invite.
Thanks
so-many-money-making-options… this one should rock on my template design site, virtualy every article has a prominent image. Time to put those forum members to work! Thanks for the heads up Jeremy
An invite would be cool shoe$$$ dude
its an interesting service but I wouldnt want anybody to buy my personal pictures. It depends what kind of pictures you are selling. They really have to be careful of setting themselves apart in terms people trying to take obscene pics and selling it there for a price. Do you know what the conditions are for posting a picture?
I forgot to ask, how will copyright be protected? I’m picturing a dozen users raiding stock photo sites to make money with, the more evil ones using the stock photo site affiliate program to make even more by writing “or visit such and such site for thousands of similar images” etc
Seems like a good money make opportunity. It has a potential, it can really take off.
This sounds like a great idea, if you still have any invites left, I would love to check it out.
hello Jeremy, i would like an invite please
An invite would be much appreciated.
I’d like to check it out!
Would love to try this out, I think that it’s pretty interesting how affiliate programs are expanding to areas certainly over the last 10yrs I wouldn’t think of finding them and to much much broader bases of internet users.
Why didn’t I think of this? I would also love an invite.
I’ll try it out as well.
Diorex@gmail.com

I would love an invite if one is still available. *fingers and toes crossed*
Regards,

Hmmm… I wonder how viral this thing could go once it goes public…
It seems kind of difficult to make the money off this site. It’s already hard enough for people to click on ads when they’re at the actual blog, so what makes this any easier..
-Mike
I would PLEASE like an invite!
Can I get an invite?
I love the idea of this type of photo site! I have a ton of pictures on my computer that I have been uploading to another site, but there is no option to make a few bucks with it!
If you have any invites left, I would greatly appreciate one!
By the way, I’m a new subscriber to your site and all I can say is “WOW!” Kudos!
I’d like an invite. Thanks Jeremy.
I’ll take an invite if you have any left. Thanks.

Hi Worknplay
This is Krista from Photrade. We have a number of different privacy options. You can set prices individually or choose not to sell any of your photos. We also have privacy protection, so you can set images to private and only allow friends and family to view them.
Per the concern about obscene pics, we have adult content flags (you have to be logged in and over 18 to view).
Let me know if you have any other thoughts/comments!
- Krista
I never thought of taking photos from flkr, but hmm….
This really nice site..specially for us as blogger and webmaster. As we can upload photos there and use it in our website saving site size & getting money at the same time!
When I heard it I was like – “OMG – it sounds like I said porn”. The picture was of CORN. Promise.
Jeremy,
Please send me an invite! Thanks so much
~ Debby
This is Krista from Photrade.
You can set any price or choose not to sell individual images – so you can disable selling from your personal pictures
You can also set pictures to private so that only friends and family can view them.
In terms of obscene pics, we have adult contect flags in which case you must be logged on and over 18 to view the photos.
Let me know if you have any other questions/comments.
You can select watermarking for your image in user options. Using this selection you images will have a Photrade logo watermarked across the center. We have more great image protection features (can’t talk about them yet – but very cool) coming over the next few months…
Dude, I would like to get an invite if you still have them, thanx for telling us about all this new stuff.
Nice! I would like to be invited. Thanks!
If you have any invites left, I’d like one. Thanks.
I’ll take an invite if you still have them. Thanks.
I think this is a really good idea.
Hey man, just found your site. I would love an invite if there are any left, just getting started in this business. Need all the help I can get.
Thanks.
I forget to say: please send me an invite
me too please.
I’d like a phototrade invite please
I would like to have an invite. Thank you.
Please send me an invite.
I’d love an invite, sounds like a great service.
I tried posting a comment earlier but it doesn’t show up for me, so sorry if I make a double post now.
It seems like a nice idea for a site, and I would love an invite if you still have any. Thank you.
I’d love an invite please. I’ve got some nice photos that I think could do very well. Nice post on this new service.
Please send me an invite. And thanks for the great post.
My comment not showing so sorry if I duplicate. Please send me an invite and thank you very much.
I’d love one
I’m using Shareapic for some time now, which is pretty similar to Photrade. But I’m really dissapointed in it because images are loading extremely slowly most of the time, if they load at all. You don’t need invitations for shareapic (affiliate link :p ), so its easier to join.
But shoe, if you got an extra invitation for photrade, I’d love to have it
I would like to know more and would greatly appreciate the invite. This sounds like a great opportunity. Thank you in advance
Please send me an invite (sorry if this a double post) it sounds great. Thanks
Hey AdBrites been doing that with http://www.britepic.com/
Anyone kicked butt with them? They have it flash based so you can stick that sucker on a MySpace with high traffic and you know the rest.
Sure, I’ll try an invite. This sounds neat. Email’s in the comment. Thanks, Shoe.
If you still have invites I’ll be happy to accept one.
Thanks for the overview too. Seems like Photrade could turn into a great service.

Hi Shoe, Thanks for the heads up on Photrade. It sounds really cool. If you have an invite left please shoot one over. I would love to check PhoTrade out.
Thanks in advance.
G$
I want one, can you send it to my email provided please
I’d appreciate an invite.
Thanks,
-Sean
i would love an invite if any are still available.
Whoa that chick has enormous tatas!
Would like to have an invite
Thanks Shoemoney!
Could I have an invite?
would like an invite is possible?
commandos, you need to remove the last / from the link
Please send me an invite. Thanks Jeremy!
http://www.photrade.com/shoemoney/ says The requested URL /shoemoney/ was not found on this server.
Yes Please send me an invitation if it is still possible. Thanks!!
It would be great to get invited if it is still possible,
Thanks
Hector
Harshad,
We fixed this. It had previously only worked if you typed that URL without the final slash (“/”), thanks for the heads up!
Andy (photrade team)
remove the last / from the link
krista do u also send invitations ?
I like that second picture you have up there
Anymore invites left…. thanks
That’s a really neat service; I would love to use it. Please send me an invite.
Would love an invite if there are any left!
Sounds interesting. Can you send me an invite. Thanks!!!
Can i have one?
I have been trying to get a script similar to shareapic for awhile now.
Im surprised that phototrade can pay for cpm on forums and other webapges though. Doesn’t seem very feasible.
…and let’s not forget the security platform we’re launching soon! Can you say…KICK ASS?
I’d love an invite, if there are any left.
Thanks!
I like the site; it’d be interesting to see how quickly this service is adopted.
Please shoot an invite if you can Jeremy.
Thanks!
I would love an invite, please.
Photrade is a really brilliant idea and timely as well, I met them at Blogworld as well and can’t wait to see the site take off.
Wow, fantastic service. Any invites left? I’d love one if so! Thanks.
i could use one as well
I doubt you have any left, but hey, nice service, although I think what one can make is quite less, but is a step in the right direction for budding photographers. no more waiting for “god” to approve your photos, like on some *cough* photo sharing sites. The first thing I thought, dang someone beat me to doing this!
Can you send me an invite if you have any left?
Me too
I’d appreciate an invite, thanks
I would like to try this service.
