Savings Tip #16: Make Wedding Money from Your Online Photo Galleries

Lately, everyone has been posting their photos all over the online world at places such as Flickr, Google Picasa, Photobucket, and more and they are basically providing these companies with free advertising every time they email their photo galleries to their friends.
Well, now is the time to actually monetize off of this and raise money for your wedding. Instead of posting your photos, create your own HTML picture galleries and add your Google Adsense links to both the galleries and the individual picture pages. Then you can email all of your friends, family, and coworkers and have them look at your ad filled picture galleries that will make you money.
This sounds difficult, right? Well, it’s really not. You can easily create your own photo galleries and just insert the code directly into your pages. Tools like Arles Image Gallery Generator are excellent for automatically creating Image galleries to raise money for your wedding. With Arles, all you need to do is specify where your pictures are located on your computer and click “build” and it will automatically create your galleries with your adsense code in it (if you add it).
An even better option is to download Google’s Picasa software (above) and use it to create your own HTML galleries that you can simply upload. Once you have done this, you can go ahead and add your Google code wherever you’d like and upload your galleries to a server.
Doing this could possibly bring you in anywhere from $0.05 to $2.00 PER CLICK on your Google Adsense ads on your photo galleries. This could easily help out with your expensive wedding budget. Every click counts 
I am really going to start putting all of my pictures online and throwing ads all over them and just distribute the pictures to everyone I know. Who knows, Maybe I’ll make some money, maybe I won’t, but it couldn’t hurt.
If any of you are interested in hosting your own picture galleries or your own domain name and website, let me know and I could host it for you for a small charge (wedding donation ).

After your wedding, you’re probably short on cash. Getting cash advances might not be the best decision for every couple, though there are times that a payday loan might help out a lot. Find out more about getting a payday loan so that you can make well informed choices.

I stumbled on your blog by accident. Great concept. Just a suggestion, and maybe I just missed it at first glance, but where is the “donate now” button? If someone comes to your site, should be an easy pay-pal way to just throw you a few bucks, no?

Yeah, we have thought about that, but for some reason we put it low on the priority list. I feel that we might get a couple of bucks here or there, but we wanted to focus more on Adsense.
