BritePic - Make money by placing ads inside your pictures
BritePic is a very interesting new service that “brings life to your images” by allowing you to morph your boring static images into fully interactive flash-enabled and money
making “BritePics”! Other than another way to make money through ads, BritePic is also very cool to use because it adds lots of functionality to an image that you otherwise cannot get!
For example, take the following image below of a puppy inside of a pot:
Now let’s take a look at what your same picture would look like if it were a BritePic:
As you can see, there’s a lot of stuff going on in this picture! At the bottom left, you’ll see a small button called Menu that when clicked, brings up a bunch of options such as Zoom, Email this image, Link to this image, Embed this image, Print this image, and Subscribe to RSS. Personally, I like the zoom and RSS features the most!
Also, you can add your own custom logo to all of your images by simply uploading it. If you scroll your mouse over the image, you’ll see a message appear across the screen, which you could use as a description.
Finally, the most interesting aspect of this concept is the AdBrite ads that are shown across the top. Remember though that the ads are NOT required, it’s completely optional. But if you do want to make some money, you can enable the ads, which will add a small bar to the top of the image and will expand when hovered over.
You use BritePic by replacing your normal IMG HTML tag with a BritePic script tag that looks like this:
<script>
britepic_src=”http://www.yoursite.com/yourpic.jpg”;
britepic_id=”your_unique_britepic_id”;
</script>
<script src=’http://www.britepic.com/britepic.js’>
</script>
<noscript>
<img src=”http://www.yoursite.com/yourpic.jpg”>
</noscript>
Now this sounds great, but it seems like this will prevent Google from indexing your images since it’s a script. I’m not really sure about this, so if you know better, post a comment!
In the future there will be more options, such as the ability to rate the image, view gallery, discuss the image, and accessibility features for those who are visually impaired.
Overall not a bad deal considering it’s free! I’m not sure how much money someone can make off of this, but it’s definitely worth a try. It’s also a great way to make your photos more engaging for users. Tell me what you think!
