Metacafe.com and Revver.com are two "youtube" like companies that are paying out checks to its members for video content. Metacafe.com pays 5$ per 1,000 views. Many people with average videos have made 100-200$ easily on their site. The top guy with just one video has made $25,000 +!

I think making funny, and helpful videos is the best way to make money these days if you can tap into the market for it.
