Video Sites & YouTube

Did you know that YouTube plans to start sharing advertising revenue with its members. If you post a video, YouTube will place an advertisement at either the beginning or end of your video. It really doesn't even have to be your video as I understand it. This should happen as early as the end of 2007.

So where did YouTube come up with such a brilliant idea? Not on their own, I assure you. Other sites are already offering revenue sharing. Sites like Revver which is a video sharing site that splits advertising revenue 50-50 with the creator of the video. There is also Brightcove that does pretty much the same thing. You can also sell your videos so they can be syndicated on other sites.

Yes, there are a lot of ways to make money with digital cameras - including videos. Google and Yahoo and AOL are into the video business too and have started including video ads etc.

The online world is in a constant state of ebb and flow. What's important is for you to get a decent digital camera, learn to use it and start submitting your photos and videos to various sites to start making a little money. This trend will only grow.

Just try to create something decent. Lately, I've been seeing some total garbage that doesn't deserve to be seen by anyone. Spare us if you won't take the time to plan your shots and storyboard. Thanks!
