    Textive.com - Store Your Text Files and Earn Cash

    You"ve written things-- term papers, journal entries, essays. Most likely these are stored on your computer, gathering electronic dust.

    And equally likely, you haven"t backed up any of these files. Textive offers a backup service for all your text files. Not only can you store all your text files for free, you can also make some money if you make your files public. You"ll get 20% of the advertising revenue from all your public documents (after you"ve made $20 you"ll need to set up a PayPal account). Storage is capped at 1GB and files as large as 5MB can be uploaded. You can direcly load PDF and word documents or just cut and paste. You can browse through the submissions by subject matter or date. Most of the stuff is rather textbookish and long. However if you want to make a profit on some old school papers, Textive is the way to go. If you sign up now you"ll get an extra 10% of the profit through August 31st 2007.


    Textive.com In their own words

    "Think Text.  Think about all the good stuff you write (like trip journals and term papers), download (like whitepapers and tax forms and account statements), store on your hard drive, and share on other sites for free.  That"s the text that you want to share, and that you don"t want to lose...so back it up here at Textive.  And if you do make it available for others, we"ll pay you!"

    Why Textive.com might be a killer

    It"s a useful way for students, writers and bloggers to make some extra money off things they"ve already written; plus it"s free backup.

    Some questions about Textive.com


    Who"s going to read the papers? Someone could just as easily publish on their blog and earn money through adverts. Is it really necessary to upload text files and store it with Textive? It makes more sense with photos and music; also you could use a jumpdrive or email. What about copyright infringements? Anyone could post content that"s not theirs.
