If you want to upload your video to the web, there are dozens of websites you can use. With all those choices, why not pick a site that will pay you for your content?
These days, more and more free video sharing websites are paying their members for the videos they upload.
Here's a quick rundown of some of the free video sharing sites that offer to pay you for your work.
- Revver
Revver partners your video with targeted ads, and you get 50 percent of the profits. Your videos don't have to be watched all the way through to make money, though, and you can even get paid for sharing videos made by other people.Revver doesn't pay out until you've earned at least $20, and you'll need a PayPal account to get started.
- GUBA
GUBA is a video sharing website that provides free amateur videos as well as feature films and TV shows to buy or rent.You can make money by signing up to be a GUBA affiliate. GUBA affiliates make $0.25 for every referral from their blog or webpage who signs up to join GUBA, so if you get a hundred people to join, that's $25 in the bank.
You don't need a PayPal account to receive your earnings, but you do need to make at least $25 before GUBA will pay you.
- Blip.tv is a video sharing website aimed primarily at creators with a steady stream of content, as what you get when you sign up is essentially your own online TV show. You can still use it to upload just one or two videos, but if you're able to create a whole show, you're likely to make a lot more money.
Blip.tv has several choices when it comes to advertising. You can create your own scheme and pick the ads that appear on your show as well as where in each video they appear, or you can let Blip set it up for you. All you need is a PayPal account.
- vSocial
vSocial is a regular old free video sharing website, but its "social networking for video" platform, vConnect, allows you to monetize your content with embedded advertising. - Nelsok
Nelsok is a free video sharing website with a slightly unattractive interface but a very attractive payment system. All you need is a free Google AdSense account. Payout is based on more than just the number of times a video is viewed, and you could earn as much as $2 for a single click.Nelsok also has a Premium Content section under construction that will allow users to charge others to watch their videos.
- Vume
Vume is unusual because it promises to pay $3 for every thousand hits any of your uploaded media receives. That way, you get paid for hits on photos and audio as well as videos. All you need is a PayPal account.
