Get Paid for Video-Sharing
I’ve mentioned how sites like Revver helped you make money by placing ads in the video (which, even when embedded in other pages, would still be viewed and, therefore, credit your account).
Well, eefoof is offering a revenue share with video uploaders using their site:
When you upload a piece of media for submission to eefoof, your first hit immediately starts generating income. Each month, we measure the amount of individual page views for each item you submit, and then calculate the percentage of hits it accounted for its media type. We then use this number to figure out your share of the sites ad revenue. Once your account exceeds $25, we will send you a Paypal transfer to the email specified at account creation.
effoof accepts video, images, flash, and audio.
This business model has been around for a while. forums like digital point have been doing this type of thing for a while and have been successful in increasing adoption and, therefore revenue (revshare means smaller margins but in greater volumes…if you do it successfully).

This is MP3.com like it’s 1999, except for video! I hope this model works this time around.

Utter Garbage, did you go to Revver and actually see how they work.?
The number of “views” mean nothing, its the embedded ad at the end that requires the viewer to click that pays $.
Very few people click on the ad.

You don’t seem to understand…the point was that the video could be distributed on other sites by embedding the video on other pages (or in RSS, or anythign else for that matter)…and, regardless of where it ends up, you still have an opportunity to make money because you will “view” the ad in the embedded video: “even when embedded in other pages, would still be viewed”
In fact, if you had read on at the revver site, you would have read:
…and that was the point of that statement!

No,your still not thinking.
It doesnt matter if the embedded ad is viewed 1 million times.
It has to have the user actually click on it.
The quote where sharing matters, even when no one clicks on the ad on the end.
And thats me being corrected.
sad

Look Mike, I understand what you’re saying but you seem to be unable to comprehend what I am saying. The point I am *continually* trying to make to you is that you have the opportunity to make money regardless of the medium. This post was focused around the distribution of the video and the opportunity to make money regardless of where it was embedded.
I don’t seem to understand where you seem to keep making the leap to an impression = a click. After your first comment, I reread my post and saw how it could be misintrepreted so I posted a comment in repose to your first comment to attempt to clear things up. I don’t know how to make it any clearer.
Regardless, if you’d like to discuss this more, my email is on my blog. I don’t understand why you insist on showing up on here and being billigerent for no apparent reason from the get go. As far as I’m concerned, this discussion on this page is over and done with and if you would like to pursue this discussion further, please email me and I’ll be glad to have a civilized discussion with you. You can have a lively, argumentative discussion without being an ***, you know!
