You can now earn money for your videos! It is relatively a new concept brought about by the rising number of
people watching videos online. Millions of websites currently show videos as a way of
interacting with the website visitors. Video sharing networks make money from showing adverts on the side of the videos.
How does it work?
The first step is to learn how to create interesting videos. If you enjoy cooking, you could try cooking
a number of recipes and ask your friend to record it for you. You can then create a website and post these videos and
sign up with Google Adsense and show Google Ads. Since this concept is relatively new, you can get lots of traffic to your website
and earn money!
You could also upload these videos to the revenue sharing websites or sell your videos to the websites. The revenue sharing websites
normally share the profits that your video generates whereas if you decide to sell the video, you will get a one-time fee.
Some of the websites who buy videos or share revenue with video makers are listed here.
