In a year's time, you could make an absolute killing by selling a $49-$99 DVD service to users who actually kept taking photos. Their photos, turned into a DVD movie, in a nice case with their name on it, etc. (You could outsource this and make a killing on the difference.)

People will buy these not just for their own safekeeping, but for grandmas, to keep for future generations, and so forth.

Actually, mentioning such a product could even get slightly less netheady people to even use your service. You want the comfortably-off soccer moms, grandparents, and so forth, using this product. Can you imagine how awesome it'd be to have had a DVD of a year or two of your grandpa? Big selling factor in here.
