Now, back to our concern…10+ proven ways to make money online with videos
You’d like to get paid to make videos, sell clips or just by upload or embedding them?
As Promised, I’ll start with YouTube and continue with methods beside it.1.- Get Paid On YouTube For Uploading Videos
The most obvious way to make money on YouTube is to display ads on and next videos using the YouTube partner program. When your business model is OK with ads, it helps.
But there are a few caveats:the YouTube partner program is not open to all countries. And in eligible countries, you need 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of video views the last 12 months to join.You need a lot of video views to make significant income. Expect $1, $2 CPM
So, take YouTube one step further.
Promote products through your videos. It can be review, tutorials, list of tools that you use for affiliate promotion. Or promoting your own products (online courses, ebooks, t-shirts, software, etc…)
It is simple as 1) creating a video helpful for your target audience and 2) redirect them to the desired product using links in video description.2.- Upload videos with DailyMotion
DailyMotionis a popular video publishing platform like YouTube; not so popular i have to admit! But it allows you to earn money from videos in a particular way.
You make money from your videos uploaded to DailyMotion and videos embed on your website.
So, you get the traffic and cash from pre-roll and banner ads inside your videos.
The minimum payout is $100. They pay via Payoneer and PayPal.
You can upload your videos both on YouTube and Dailymotion to boost revenue. I find Dailymotion videos a little slower than YouTube. So, I don’t like to embed them on my blog.
In the next steps, you’ll learn how to take Dailymotion further and earn from people’s videos too.

Google has another product different from YouTube partner.
It is called adsense for videos. The videos must be hosted on your own server and get millions of hits per month!
Then you can apply and show adsense banner, pre-roll advertising inside your videos to increase your monthly revenue.
I know, many of you don’t have that amount of views on hosted videos. That why the next step get rid of that limit.5.- Earn from in video advertising networks
In-video advertising is the best way to earn from embed videos on your blog. That way, you can monetize any video that is on your blog.
I know 3 different ways you can do it:
1.- Embed DailyMotion Videos: Once you enable monetization on Dailymotion, you can embed individual video or a widget that show related videos automatically.
You get paid for displaying pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll ads. Those ads that appear before, on-pause and after the video.
2.- Embed MediaVine videos: Mediavineis an ad management service to display premium and high paying ads on your blog. Your blog needs at least 25,000 sessions (not pageviews) to be accepted into the program.
But once you’re into the program, you can upload videos within MediaWine dashboard and embed them on approved blogs.
Your videos is hosted free. You save on bandwidth and hosting costs. But you earn money through your videos with a custom video player.
You’ll, maybe, enjoy a video player with no related videos that do not belong to you.
3.- Join ad networks with in-video ad format: The ad networks with in-video ad formats don’t have hosting features.
You embed YouTube videos like always. You add the codes the ad network gave you onto your website. And it detects video player to insert ad.
An example of such ad programs is “Adstract”. No minimum traffic requirements. They pay via PayPal and Payoneer.6.- Embed or Host Videos to Earn From on-page advertising
You earn money also from on-page advertising. There are those ads you normally show on your own website. This is the method anyone can try out.
It doesn’t require that you create video. You don’t have to meet minimum views required by adsense and some ad networks. You earn from different kind of on page advertising ( in-text, in-image, in-video, pop, text and banner ads)!
It adds up. You can use it while using many of the methods listed above.
Just host your videos and embed someone’s video, who give rights, on your website and earn money from the traffic. It is known that videos increase click through rate from search engines and time on site.
You can use plugins and programs to create video sitemap that will help popular searches engines like Google and Bing to index your pages with videos.
