| How to make money online by creating video clips
Another great way to make money from home is to create interesting home made videos. For some, this can be a viable work at home job option providing a bit of extra money. Though this is unlikely to earn a serious income, at least for now, it can nevertheless provide a bit of extra money.
The concept of paying money to people who make interesting video clips, provides an opportunity for people to make money online for doing something they would enjoy doing for nothing and often do on a host of other video file sharing sites or hosting their own video logs.
Growth of online entertainment
Sometimes, unedited home made videos can be a lot more interesting than big budget well-rehearsed entertainment made for TV. This is why there is an explosion in traffic to these video file-sharing sites. Also, greater access to fast broadband allows for smooth downloading of these videos.
Sites that pay to show clips
Some of these increasingly popular sites such as Lulu.tv, pay people when clips sent by them are stored on their sites for people to view. If a video clip you create becomes really popular then you get paid from the fund generated by charging users (known as shareholders) a monthly fee.
The clips that get on the home page and stay there can potentially earn the creator substantial amount of money, depending on the size of the fund.
- There is no limit to the number of clips you create. Remember, the really popular ones are either very funny or very interesting.
- As the site's growing customer base increases so does the fund, potentially proving really lucrative for the top video creators.
- Creating these short clips can be done in spare time, so it does not have to get in the way of your daily routine.
Another site, Revver.com shares advertising revenue with the video clip creators by hosting advertising in clips.
The type of videos they are looking for
- The videos themselves can be anything, as long as they are popular and funny.
- Most won't accept clips that are explicitly graphic in any way and incite hatred or promote racis
This model might spread to other sites
However, as these sites gain increasing popularity among the masses, there might come a time when they would require a quicker turnover in clips and more varied content to keep demand satisfied, therefore they might start paying good money to persuade people to send in clips more often.
If sites like Lulu.tv prove a big success, it will undoubtedly create other similar sites wanting to share the pie.
