Using videos as instant advertisements

    A member of my forum posted a video link to break.com So I took a look around break and it seemed like a pretty busy place with lots of traffic. On the morning of Monday, May 26th I signed up for a break account. During the following 12 hours I uploaded 1.25+ gigs of my videos (about 60 videos), edited my account page and added a custom background. I uploaded so many videos, break.com tech support sent me an email asking that I limit my uploads to 5 a day.

    24 hours after signing up, my popular videos have been viewed:


    #1 viewed video in 24 hours - Views: 1,290
    #2 viewed video in 24 hours - Views: 1,199
    #3 viewed video in 24 hours - Views: 924
    #4 viewed video in 24 hours - Views: 600
    #5 viewed video in 24 hours - Views: 454

    All of the videos are watermarked with my website name, meaning within 24 hours of creating this account, thousands of people have seen my website address.

    I have the content on my hard drive ready to upload, just like I did at youtube. So its just a matter of creating the account, and uploading. And within minutes you start getting views.

    My new break.com account, set up and operational with 24 hours - http://break.com/survivalist

    My youtube account - http://www.youtube.com/user/survivalistboards

    Same videos in each place, youtube has more videos with a total of 260+. But I have been working on my youtbe account for over a year.

    Since I have been working on these videos for over a year, I have instant content for any video hosting website I sign up on. I only uploaded about 60 videos to my break account. I still have 150 - 200 more videos to upload. But since break only wants 5 videos a day, its going to take awhile to get the rest uploaded. Some of my early videos are really bad, so I might remix them, and then upload the revised version.

    Any suggestions or comments?

    I have seen some great websites that allow you to embed links into the actual video. It's a great way to not only gain exposure for your website but to make some extra income. This is definitely something I am going to get started with soon.
