A Guide To Making Money With A Video Blog

By 'using Metacafe to advertise', do you mean for example, for a 5 minute video, you put only 1 minute preview clip on Metacafe rather than the whole video, then invite people to go visit your blog to see the whole thing?

 

Well you could go allout..
signup on youtube with your domainname.com as your username and channel, logo as avatar and In your profile or writeup you could tell people about your site rather than yourself and only upload videos that are on your blog with a watermark logo/url on the videos and favorite videos of others that you embedd

if you spend a bit of time daily on youtube just watching videos of others and commenting on them im sure you will get a following audience that you could bring back to your site

 

Very informative. Thank you.

 

I suppose another thing you could do is reply to related videos on Youtube with one of your watermarked videos.

 

no, it's a full video on your site that's showing. what i mean is when you take some videos from metacafe and embed in on your site, there's a link under the video on metacafe that you could enter you site's url there. so when people watching videos on metacafe, they will see you url under that videos and may take a ride to your site.

 

Do you use any plugin to place the adsense ad below the first post? Just started developing a video blog and this is the only step I am struggling with.

 

thanks for the information

 

Hi, lately there is vlogs sites that mushroomed with Adsense since Google's took over of YouTube.

What is my concern here is there is so many copyright clips available both in YouTube and Google Video as well as other video hoster.

Is it against Adsense TOS when we have this clips in our blog. Say a TV show hosted in YouTube.

I could easily see 100's if sites with this content and their Adsense placement look like their making some good money.

I've e-mailed personally to Adsense about some sites, and they've no problem seems.

What's bother me is how long this things can sustain. If I'm going to ride on this trend, will my Adsense account violate the TOS?

Thanks in advance!

 

people do forget that the actual companies creating funny shows, commercials etc upload them themselves to be spread around and get free advertising

 

i made my own at http://www.worldpolitics.tv have uploaded 5 videos only...and am not getting any traffic from youtube yet..however i am getting it from other places like forums...

why do you think i'm not getting any from youtube? are the videos not interesting enough? or do i need more than 30 videos?

 

Amazing topic! Great job!
Also just a quick note, the "Burst Media" link is broken at the end of the post .

Nice post thetafferboy83, could you post the link to your videoblog, I'm just curious to see it, if that's ok?

 

hi,
yeah, I also would like to see your vlog thetafferboy83 if possible.
one more thing, I can't manage to put the large rectangle you mention between the first and the second video. euther it is not there or it is after each video.
