    It all depends on who the owner of the video is:

    If you made the video, and you used all of your own music and images - then no, the video will not be deleted.

    If you recorded a TV show, or ripped a music video off of a DVD and uploaded it to youtube, then yes - the video will be deleted.

    I used to water mark all of the videos I uploaded to youtube and they have not been deleted. And the reason why the videos have not been deleted - they are my property.

    Its not that google or youtube does not allow watermarked videos, they do not allow their members to upload videos that do not belong to them. That is called copyright infringement - it will get the video deleted and can even get your account deleted.

    If you want your video to stay on youtube, do not use someone elses property to make your video. Find royalty free music and use that instead of music off of a popular cd that was just released.

    Its really simple - make your own videos, do not try to steal other peoples property and the video will stay on youtube.

    ==============================

    The easiest way to make money off of youtube is to sign up for a youtube partner account, and link it with your google adense account. Once you are approved you can start submitting your videos for revenue sharing. The draw back - if your video is rejected for revenue sharing it is deleted off of youtube.

    But once some of your videos are approved, you can start making a some money. How much money you make is directly related to:
    1. Number of views the video gets
    2. Number of people that subscribe to your youtube channel

    The more people that subscribe, the more views you get. Once you are approved for a youtube partner account, you can brand your channel.

    This is one of my videos - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spW4pvWAWFs Notice the banner on the right hand side that points to the subscribe button. The more people you get to subscribe, the more views you get, the more money you make.

    Generating revenue from youtube is not an over night success story. Its something that can take some time to develop and can take lots of hard work - especially if you film your own videos, edit the videos, upload, insert special effects.......

    But in the long run, if you do a good job, you can drive traffic to your site, and generate revenue at the same time.

    Can anyone tell me how one makes a video of their website. I mean do you have it professionally made for you, and if so approx. what is the cost of that, and can you recommend someone. Or do you make it yourself?
    Thanks,
    A.

    I film all of my own videos with a point and shoot digital camera. I then use windows movie maker to edit the video, add background music, and splice the clips together.

    If you want an example of how videos can be used to promote your site, take a look at my youtube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/survivalistboards

    In the past year and a half I have uploaded over 300 videos. And as a result, youtube is the third highest source of traffic to my site.

    One of the big problems facing people that want to make videos, they do not have a real nitch market. People with directories and proxies want to get into the video market, but its kinda difficult if you do not have a real product.

    However, if your site deals with classic cars, or like my site - hunting, camping, hiking and fishing, then that is a real nitch. From there you just make videos about your hobbies or "nitch" and upload them to youtube.

    If your interested in video marketing, look at some of the popular producers out there. Do a youtube search for ask a ninja, markdaycomedy, ChosonNinja, travisandjonathan, THREEFLOORSDOWN1 and vlogolution.

    One of my personal favorites is http://www.youtube.com/user/MadV

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B-NX2McO1I

    Look at how those people promote theirselves. And maybe you can relate that to an interest you have.

    Hmm. is this worth it? It sounds bad from my point of view. How much do you get paid per day or week?

    I was under the impression that becoming a partner was a really hard thing to do.

    Can you direct me to your youtube profile so that I can see what you have to offer.

    Sorry, but I can not tell you how much I make. Its not just about the money, these videos also provide a steady stream of visitors to my forum.



    A buddy of mine on youtube (and he is also a member of my forum), he has around 64 videos - some of them viewed 5,000 - 12,000 times. He has applied to the partner program several times and keeps getting denied.

    I was was posting videos on youtube for about 10 months before I applied to the partner program. By that time I had around 150 videos, and maybe 500,000 - 750,000 total views.

    Here is a link to my youtube profile - http://www.youtube.com/user/survivalistboards


    I used to water mark the entire length of the video, but got away from that. It does not look very professional. A member of my forums made the introduction music for me, so its royalty free.

    Can you apply to be a youtube partner before your videos get much traffic? Can you use any youtube video on your site? (People seem to but doesn't this steal adsense revenues from the creators?)

    Check out this article from my site, How to Become a YouTube Partner.

    To answer 1associate's question, if you want to become a partner, you will need to be uploading ORIGINAL content to your channel. Otherwise you'll have no hope of getting approved.

    Can you get your adsense account banned if you upload copyrighted videos to youtube?
