    Hello everyone!

    I will film a video of sporting event and wondering how could I monetize it.

    I know there are 500-1000 users who want to see the video and support me for filming the event.

    The video will be hosted on my website. What should I do? Popups? Sharecash doesnt work because traffic is not from US (bad surveys)...

    Thanks for ideas!

    How interested are people going to be, will this video be in demand, would people be willing to pay for this video? If you think you could get a few dollars for it you could sell it as either a digital or physical product.

    I mean if as you say 1000 people are interested and you could sell it for even $5 you have potentially made $5000, one more thing to note is that if you sell it as a physically shipped product you can charge a lot more.

    Hope this helps,
    Stephen.

    If i could stream it live, then users might pay $5 or something for it, but i cant live stream it.

    Do you have any others ideas than just normally paying for video/membership?

    He said up to 1000 want to see it - I'd be amazed if 1000 want to buy it especially since we've no idea about what sporting event it is or how professional the filming is going to be.

    You could put it on DVD and sell it. Also, How about picking an affiliate product to promote. Better yet, start building an email list. Maybe, make them give you their email before they can watch it.
