Default how to make money with videos

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 +!

Check out the top paying videos here on metcafe: Metacafe – Most Popular Videos & Movies

Revver pays out on how many people click an ad. I haven't tried it out yet.
Anyway I made a short instructional video on how to use your headphones as a microphone to see how well it does on metcafe.

Check it out if you'd like...

Use Your Headphones As A Microphone Video


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.

Substitute this with 'crazy' and 'weird' videos and you will be spot on. By the way, MetaCafe's rates are quite good.

You can make a living in show business working from home now

I think I have your good idea, but you have to live in some capital.

Parlaments are open for common people. Live-Parlament-Transmittals have an audience of a few thousands on TV.
If you have a camera go to a Parlament sitting. Each speach of on of the politicians is around five minutes.
Lets say you get 2000 viewers for each speach and you get six speaches for each working hour. That nets you
30$ per hour.

You could have a blog that stores all those links to they speaches.
If someone wanted to see all the speaches that their congresman held you could serve them those.

In addition you can do viral marketing on political blogs. If the blogger writes about something the politician said you post your link in the comments.
If you film each parlament sitting you could even gets those blogger to link to you on default.

If those rates on metacafe stay the way the are at the moment that makes a pretty good business.

Reading their site, you have forget to mention the fine print.
The video needs at least 20.000 views to make money and it needs to be rated 3 or higher.
That might destroys the filming parlaments idea
