After you read this you should have a pretty good idea of how to make some money using your videos. I am not saying that you will make a ton, but it will start you off and send you in the right direction. Before You begin to make some money, you have to make a video or short film. It should be a high quality piece with good editing, engaging story, and good sound. This article will help you monetize that self created video content.

YouTube Is Not The Best Option. After you make your video, you are more than welcome to upload it to YouTube. But keep in mind that you will not get money from posting it to YouTube. Sure, YouTube has a big audience, but to start getting the checks rolling in,you have to be a YouTube partner. Becoming a partner with YouTube is hard, and will require you to have thousands of subscribers at least. You also need a Adsense account with Google. It is better to also upload your video to sites like Metacafe and Blip.tv, which both have services to earn revenue. Go to both sites and check them out, but Blip.tv has the best (and easiest) way to start earning. But go ahead, see which one is best for you.

Enter Your Video In Contests. There are many different contests and contest sites where you can earn a ton (if you win). Now, you will most likely have to make new and original videos for contests, but they pay more so it is worth it. The key is to find the contest that is not very popular, and will probably not have to many people submitting. The less the competition, the higher the chance of you wining the big prize. You can find video contests at OnlineVideoContests.com, and YouTube even hosts contests with cash prizes. 

Make This Thing Go Viral. Using the steps above, your video is ready to make some cash. But it gets people to watch and vote for your video to make it get anywhere. Post on Facebook, Twitter, and tell all of your friends and family about your film. Submit it to Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, any thing to give your masterpiece exposure. If it is good enough, and enough people see it and spread the word, your video will start making money. Your main goal for your video to go viral. When it does, it will be all downhill from there.

So, I hope this will nudge you forward in your pursuit of great wealth. And remember, the first video you make will probably not will all the prizes. Don’t be discouraged by silly things like that. If you try hard enough, one of your videos will make you some cash, but until you do make that wining film, just have fun with it!
