We first looked at PicApp back in November 2009 and then again in December. Since then, PicApp has been a very busy beaver. PicApp is a website where you can search for all sorts of premium licensed photos. The kicker is that you can freely embed any of these pictures, which come from sources like Getty Images and Jupiter Images, on your website or blog without any concern for copyright infringement. It’s all free for you to use. Now, PicApp has kicked it up a notch by offering a customizable photo gallery that you can make money on.
PicApp Customizable Photo Gallery
The new customizable Photo Gallery makes it easy for bloggers to have the best content and images for their blogs. The galleries are fully customizable and advertiser-friendly. Advantage for bloggers running the customizable galleries include:
- Images are updated, real-time from Picapp’s content feed.
- The Photo gallery is designed to match your site’s look and feel. It is also customizable in terms of the elements on the page.
- Increased traffic – Every image that your user is browsing – is another page view for you!
- Increased user engagement – Images are known to be a great engaging tool for users. Sharing and community features, which are part of the Photo Gallery further increase user engagement.
- Supper easy to get up and running- the Publisher simply register and install a onetime code and we do the rest, create the customized photo gallery, tags etc.
The Customizable Photo Galleries are available to blogs with 100,000 Unique visitors per month or more. If that’s you and you’re interested in adding a custom photo gallery to your blog, contact PicApp at contact@picapp.com.
Make Money Online with PicApp Media Discovery Network
Shortly after launching the Customizable Photo Gallery, Picapp launched the Picapp Media Discovery Network.
In addition to providing access to millions of free images, updated hourly, we are now launching the PicAapp Media Discovery Network – a revenue share program that lets you earn revenue from using our images on your site. Earlier this month we unveil our newest product—The Customizable Photo Gallery, qualified publisher who are part of the Picapp Media Discovery Network will enjoy the functionality of our customized photo gallery plus a share of ad revenue earned on the photo gallery page.
So, in short – we create the customized Photo Gallery for you, manage the ads on the Photo Gallery; you earn the increased traffic and a share of the ad revenue on the Photo Gallery. In other words – we will do all the hard work and you will enjoy the fruits. It’s almost like being paid to eat chocolate…
Overall, this is pretty kick ass. Not only can you put premium licensed photos on your blog for free but if your blog qualifies, PiccAapp will build you a custom photo gallery and give you a share of any money the gallery makes.
Right now, your blog need to have more than 100,000 uniques per month in order to join the PicApp Media Discovery Network. However, that requirement should go down as the network gets developed and fine tuned.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Will definitely contact these guys when I hit that 100,000 unique visitors a month. Still got a long ways to go, but I can do it!
You can also use free images from Fotoglif.com to make money on your website without the 100,000 uniques requirement
But I think Fotoglif.com is way behind to picapp.com.
But I think this kind of promotion will lead to spamming.
Wicked. This will go great with my site.
The only negative thing I see is from a branding point of view – the gallery looks like your site, but your link is all the way at the end in the URL. However, that’s not too much of a big deal.
Agree with u Jack, Got to work hard x 5 to achieve that number.. ! Lets us work hard like Him! hoho.. larger number to grab but easy money to come!!
This is the one that problogger is using.
luv picapp!
Cool, I’m going to check PicApp out. I normally get my pictures from Istock and Flickr.
looks interesting program …:) Picapp :
John, it’s new info for me. Never heard about picapp before. Your writing makes me wanna visit the site right away…
Same here. Never heard of picapp before but will be paying a visit soon. Prepare for me guys .. lol
That is what I was looking for. Thanks
If you’ve got the traffic the opportunities sure are there. 100,000 monthly visitors is quite a bit, so the barrier to entry is quite high here. Another reason to step up the efforts, folks!
Cool twist, to be able to make money with the photos! Interesting concept.
wow…i had never heard of that . Very useful post.
Alice is it legal to get images from Fotoglif.com to make money? Any related sites?
Woooooa what a condition.
So another good opportunity. Would love to read this and see how it works.
Wow, it is very interesting, a pretty fun way to earn money, an other great post from John Chow
Do you have 100000 unique visitors on your blog? If yes than welcome to the party.
Great site. informative and inspiring:)
100,000 Unique visitors per month? That is gonna take me a while to achieve.
I can’t see why a blog with 100k plus would want this?
