I recently started a video sharing website, uimbibe.com
It's been going well, the server bills for the first month was just 800 bucks, but now they've gone up to around 3000 bucks a month. The site keeps growing by about 2-3gb a day and at times, people even upload about 5 gb of videos in a day. Developing websites are my passion and though I havent really done much of hardcore development on this site due to exams and such, I plan to do a bit this month towards the end. I'm learning a good amount of PHP each day.
The obvious way to earn some money would be advertisements, but I really dont want to put ads, I would like to have this website with no ads.
Are there other ways to earn money, I've tried hosting, got a few clients, but if the bill keeps rising like this, I'll have to put in some ads.
Are there other ways you can earn money from websites like sponsorships etc?
I'm trying to develop a paid subscription but it would take me a few months
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
