Video money - an exciting source of passive income

Video money with a simple camera you say?

The advent of high-quality, fast-loading Web video has created enormous opportunities for serious money for the online entrepreneur.

As with all the ideas on this website, there are no get-rich-quick solutions but certainly it is possible to create the years with which you can generate consistent streams of passive income.

As you can probably see from many of the pages here, I quite enjoy it and it is actually heaps of fun. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straightforward and as you are probably aware, society today is very geared to television and many people would probably prefer to watch a video rather than read a page of text.

Ad revenue sharing sites

YouTube is still a free service which allows millions of people to upload their personal videos at the moment. It kind of hard to see how they make money with this business model but I'm sure there are plans afoot.

Currently one of the top sites to make money from your videos is Revver.com where they have Google Adsense as running at the bottom of the video as well as a short ad after the video. They are highly relevant to the content of the video that's running.

How you earn video money

You can earn money by making an awesome video and putting it on Revver. You can also earn just by sharing other people’s videos.

Just find a few of your favorites and you can send them to friends, embed them in your blog or website, or even make your very own podcast with them -- and earn for sharing!Because it’s so easy to earn video money by sharing videos, other Revver members will be knocking down your door trying to share your videos with the world. Every time they earn money for sharing your video, you earn money for creating it!

Here is how the revenue is split

There is no doubt that there will be many many more sites which will offer a revenue-share program.

Google ads next to your videos

If you create a video and put it on your website (it's incredibly easy) you can place Google Adsense at next to your video.

In order for the Adsense adds to the relevant, make sure that you use relevant keywords in your page title, headlines and description.

Place affiliate merchants links in your videos.

You essentially have a captive audience for your video and it makes sense to have a link immediately after the video which would direct them to a relevant online retailer with which you have an affiliate program. Make sure that you are registered with the straw that you are sending them to say that you can collect the commission.

Use video to sell/support your own products or services.

Here is an ideal medium to demonstrate your products, show a tour of your facility, testimonials from happy customers and also to deal with support issues.

Sell your video content at iStockvideo

iStockphoto.com is a site where you can upload your video clips and get paid for it when people use it for stock footage. I checked out some of the samples and belief me, people are uploading the most mundane of clips and they are getting downloaded.

Bear in mind that these clips are being used as a composite part of other videos
