    Hi guys,

    I've got some ideas for some cool videos for youtube.

    What i want to do really, is once people watch it, get them to go to my website.

    So show the link to the site through the vid, and get the person in the vid to say "visit... blah blah to see more"

    I need some advice on the best way to get people to the site. And the best way to make money off it, as it will be more of a fad then a long term thing. Just adsense you think?

    The "will it blend" thing has been great youtube advertising. But what stops people just watching all the vids on youtube, instead of visiting the site.


    Any advice would be great.

    Don't forget to put a link to your site in the description of the video as well. The link should be the first text item in the description so people don't have to "click to see more" in the description just to get to your link.

    Good luck!

    lol -- great examples mate! :D

    But... the thing is, arnt people just going to look into the accounts "other" videos, and just be able to watch them there :(

    Does anyone have any look using just youtube to make a site profitable?

    I think i could make some money with that programme they now have -- but you have to have given them a few videos to prove you can do it.

    Cheers guys. Rep given to both of you ;)
