    Hi all!

    This is my first post here on dp, but I have been reading this forum almost an year and I would like to thank everyone for great threads and posts!

    My question:

    I have been making gaming related videos few years as a hobby. Movies are about 10mins and size is 200-400mb. Downloaded ~500,000 times from different hosts / viewed on google video.

    Have you ideas how to make money with the movies? With one movie, I can reach about million gamers.

    Auction off logo advertisements at the beginning and end of your movies. If you can prove those statistics... I'm sure some eager webmasters would be willing to pay about $20+ and if it proved worthy probably more than that.

    Don't sell the rights to quickly or for long, no more than a month. I once ran an ad on www.hotair.com for $40 for a week and when I went to renew it was like $1200. She figured out her value real quick. :D

    Search this forum and the web for video and Adsense. Google makes a ton of money off Adsense, the text ads you see on their search page and on websites. They bought YouTube so they could sell advertising on video. You are in the right place at the right time.

    You could make a site and put the videos on there with adsense. To advertise your site just put a little ad in the videos then upload them to YouTube or wherever.

    the videos are .avi files hosted on about 10 sites. maybe 5% uses my site to download the file. so, adsense might be bad idea. there must be something in .zip file or ads on the videos...

    and using youtube/google video/other flash-video services is not a good choise because those are really bad quality compared to .avi files...

    You can upload them to metacafe and earn some from it. They have a producer reward program.

    Don't have them download it from your site just embed them, and add a forum to build a community then when you build a pretty established community put adsense or something on it.
