Ziddu  

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

I just stumbled upon Ziddu - I'm not sure when, but apparently I signed up with Ziddu at some point. It's in it's beta right now but it looks like something that may be great. The site doesn't charge you to upload your files - and get this - there's NO limit. I've already started backing up my files because I've had an issue with a hard drive crashing that I still have to resolve. So I've been kind of looking for a back up plan. I have to vote this the best free file sharing site I found so far.

Now, because the service is free, there are lots of ads, but those don't bother me. In fact, I've seen a few that interested me.

Upload

Anyway, Ziddu let's you upload *any type of file* you'd like and they even give you a download link you can share with friends and family. You can put the items on web-pages and more! At first glance, the site is very simple, but it's pretty easy to navigate.

*I am still testing. So far, I've been able to upload pics and mp3s.

Not only can you upload and download files for free, you can even view any file that's upload with Ziddu online. I have a cable connection, and it doesn't take long for the files to upload individually. It depends, of course, on how large the file is. I still haven't been able to figure out how to upload multiple files at once, although the site says you can. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that I'm using Firefox and not IE.

One thing that's kind of annoying is you get emails every time you've uploaded a file to Ziddu. I haven't seen a way yet to fix this in the My Accounts section or anywhere else...maybe an upgrade to come.

Share

You can create photo albums for your own personal use or use them to share with friends and family. They even have a slideshow option. You can also even create Video and Audio files that can be shared! Finally, a place where I can not only store all my info but share it also. It's a great idea I would like to see grow.


Earn

All accounts with Ziddu are free to set up. What's neat is you can earn money by sharing your pics with others. It's not a lot per download or view, but has the potential to grow rapidly. Each time you share a file with someone, you get paid $0.001 cents. Once you've reached 10,000 downloads - or $10 - you can request a cash out. Now of course you can imagine it will take a while to get to $10. But if some of your friends and family sign up and start sharing files, you get a percentage of what they do.

Payments are sent to you via Paypal or Moneybookers

Do you upload files, pictures etc. all the times on various file hosting or picture hosting websites (like rapidshare) for your friends/clients to download?

Yes? Then you can now earn some good amount of cash by hosting it at Ziddu and just doing nothing extra. Just host your files at Ziddu and get paid $1 CPM for each file view or download.

ziddu-earn-money.pngZiddu provides 100% free file hosting solution which pays you $1 CPM (10,000 downloads will give you $10) for each unique file download. You can upload any type of files like pics, audio/video, docs, pdf, zip or any other type you want to send to others. Each file can be upto 200MB each, which is good enough for any regular use.

So if you upload files to share it with others, next time upload them at Ziddu. They work exactly same like other file hosting sites, but also pay you good amount of money.

They also have a control panel where you can see all your file listed and how many times each file is downloaded (and hence how much money you made). Payments are done through PayPal and MoneyBookers. So even if you live in a country where PayPal is not accepted, you can still earn the money.
