Making Videos

A now very popular way of earning money is making videos/ capturing events. Its very simple to do and as long as its your own content your likely to make money from it. The reason you can make money on videos is because the site that you uploaded the video from can put adverts in or around your video which gives them revenue. Due to the huge market for video upload sites, more sites are paying their users money to upload original content. Its done mainly on a pay per view basis.

It isn't an instant earner however on some sites you will need to get noticed and maybe upload 50+ original videos before the administrators give you the chance to earn money, on other sites you need to hit a minimum views with a good enough rating.

In all these cases to truly make the most out of this opportunity, the video you upload must be of interest to people. Nobody wants to watch a boring video. There are several types of videos you can make and each type is more suited to different websites. Like for instance "How Too" videos a more popular on Metacafe, Shock videos are more popular on Break and Vlogs (video logs) are more popular on Youtube. Each site has a different market, different viewers and also different ways of letting you earn money.

Don't waste time making pointless videos, make sure you plan your videos carefully so you odn't waste time and so that you know what will happen or what your going to talk about. Also if you upload it and you don't like it, its actually best if you keep it up. Your techniques will get better and you can call it an experience, what's more it could even make you money in the future.

The best advice i can give you if you want to make money by creating videos is to

1. Create unique "fun" content.
   
2. Plan a video before producing it.
   
3. Never remove a bad video.
   
4. Upload to as many sites as possible (read the terms and conditions on the website to make sure your allowed to upload to more than one site)
   
5. The views start slowly so just be patient.
