Share Your Pics and Earn

Frequently Asked Questions



What is Shareapic?

Shareapic is a free service that allows its users to upload and host images on our servers. What makes us different from the rest? Shareapic has a unique revenue sharing model that compensates users for directing their friends and family to see their hosted images. When a member hosts a gallery, they can then show this gallery to others. Each time this is done, the member is paid.

How much can I earn?

Earnings vary each month based off the amount of income Shareapic generates from advertising. Once this number is finalized a percentage of that is distributed throughout Shareapic members depending on how many image views they have accrued.

For example, if in month one Shareapic calculates to distribute $1,000 to our members, we will first tally up the total number of image views for that month. Using these two numbers we can determine the respective payouts for each user. If there were a total of 500,000 image views for the month, image views will equate to $0.002 each (1,000 divided by 500,000), or $2 per 1000 image views. If you're posting lots of pics in forums, MySpace or eBay, you can see how easy it is to earn quite a bit of money!

Our current pay rate is $1.00 per 4,500 image views or a $0.22 CPM. Our goal is to pay out enough to keep users happy, while still being able to sustain development costs, hosting fees, salaries, etc.


Is adult content allowed?

Shareapic DOES NOT condone the use of our service for adult content. Any user who does not abide by these rules will be banned, have their accounts deleted and remaining payments removed.


What is an "image view"?

An image view is when a user clicks on an image to be seen. This number is tallied on a daily basis by unique users. For instance, if you have an image and it is clicked on ten times by the same users it will only be calculated as one image view for that day. Although, if the same user views that image another day it will total two image views.

Note: This number is on a per image basis, meaning that a unique user can click five different images in the same gallery and each image will accrue one image view.


When do I get paid?

Officially Shareapic's terms state that users are paid NET 30. However we generally pay out NET 7 (every 7 business days) as long as your account balance is over $20.00. One of our main goals is to keep a consistent payment schedule and pay out users as fast as possible.


Is this service international?

Yes, as of now we allow users from any country.

Note: Currently all payments are paid in USD currency and will remain the same for the foreseeable future.


What payment methods are available?

Currently all payments are sent via PayPal.


Why is my payment pro-rated?

We pro-rate some payments depending on what country you're from. We don't get paid as much for Indian and Asian traffic, so obviously, we can't pay our users as much for it.

It's based on how much money we receive for certain types of foreign traffic every month. We pay users a $0.22 CPM, so obviously if we're receiving an average $.05 CPM for your traffic, we can not pay you as much as other members, or we would lose revenue (this would not be fair to us or other members.)

Send North American and Western European traffic to avoid pro-rating.


Why did my gallery get deleted?

You probably violated our clean content policy. Please read it in the members area.


Can I get paid for posting someone elses gallery code?

No, but if you are logged in and you grab the code, you will get credit for referrals that join from clicking on those pics.
