Further to our announcement (Make Money from Online Photos Videos on Your Website) that we are launching a very effective plugin to monetize your photos & pictures on your websites & blogs, we are nearing the launch date!

We hope to launch the Photo Video Ads “Lite” version by the first week of May 2010.

Meanwhile, if you are letting others download photos for free from your website, you can use these following tools to make money from these photo downloads:

• content locking gateways – users have to click through relevant ads before they can download your photo (click here to sign up for Free & start making money from your photos)
• content locking for downloadable assets like photos – visitors have to click through relevant offers before they get access to your download (click here to sign up for Free & start making money from your photos & downloads)

The Photo Video Ads Plugin is now being extensively tested out on various professional photo blogs & photographers’ websites for usability, ease of implementation, security, impact on website load time, impact on search engines & most importantly to gather information on the effectiveness of Photo Video Ads Monetization.

We welcome suggestions at this time from our readers & would like to know their ideas & thoughts on how they plan to use our Photo Video Ads Plugin.

To demonstrate how this Lite version would work, here is a picture:

A quick list of Features of the Photo Video Ads Lite version:

• extremely simple to use, no programming knowledge necessary
• ability to show one ad per picture or video
• ads can be shown on as many pictures as you want (and as many videos as you want)
• you can also choose not to show ads on some photos (or videos) while showing ads on other photos (or videos) on the same page
• readers will have the ability to hide or show ads
• you can show any ad format you want
• ads will show up on top of the photos (or videos)

• you can show ads from any ad network – you can combine ads separately to maximize your ad revenues

The Photo Video Ads Lite will be available for downloads by the first week of May 2010. Note that even though we are demonstrating ads to monetize photos, the plugin can be used as easily on videos as well to monetize your online videos.
