Has anyone sold youtube advertising?

    Here is the scoop...I know a young female, 19 or 20, who is into some trend called "video diary"..or something. What her and her 2 friends do is basically make some video using their webcam..talking about whatever..Most are returning fans plus people watch her videos on Youtube and her myspace..etc..

    She's averaging about 100-200 views per day and I spoke with her about maybe doing some sort of advertising..

    At the end of her recording she could hold a sign or throw in some sort of "don't forget to visit this website.."

    Would people pay for this? Has anyone ever done something like this before? What did you charge? OR...what would you charge?

    I need advice :(

    If she has targeted traffic or is shown on certain sites, much easier to market.
    200 uniques isnt going to blow the doors off..they need more traffic before you start pitching for ad clients..IMHO
    ps- just put the advert url in the video...I dont think you can manage a hyperlink in a youtube vid..sorry

    Youtube really doesn't like that... having an advertisement at the end where they don't get a cut. However, you could probably throw a link in the description.
