Revenue Model

"Sponsored" Imagery

For example, we'd have a high definition image of a bottle of Coca-Cola, which we'd tag appropriately, mark as Sponsored, release into the Public Domain (or at least CC-BY-SA 3.0 if PD isn't possible), and use as an ad. There are a number of other possibilities for these as well, I think it has a lot of potential. They won't be removed by AdBlock because they're hosted on our site "natively".

Traditional Advertisements

I'd prefer to avoid these if possible, people block them and dislike them.

Selling photography (e.g. stock photos)

We'd have a 20-80 split between ourselves and the photographers for any images sold via our site. This could be expanded to include selling prints, etc?
