5. If someone views your video and clicks on your ad at the end, Revver deposits a portion of the click-through value into your account.
6. You then track your video's performance through your Revver account. How many times your video has been seen, and how much money you've earned
7. Eventually, they send you money
8. If you can consistently create and upload videos, this can be a good strategy for developing a long-term, passive income stream. Other sites that offer revenue sharing similar to Revver include Blip.TV and eefoof.com.
9. Place Affiliate Links in Your Videos
   
   People come to your site to watch your video. You have their attention. Then what happens when the video is over? Re-direct them to an affiliate partner who sells what you covered in your video
10. Just be sure to do it with an affiliate link so you earn a commission if a sale results.
    
    This is easy to do with The Web Video Player™ (available at http://www.WebVideoPlayer.com ). Just put your affiliate link in the End of Movie URL" field, and use one of the "Click Here for More Info" buttons available in the player image gallery. Viewers who click on the closing graphic will be taken to the URL you specify.
11. Create Google Video Web Sites
    
    Most movies available on Google Video can be embedded on any web page. If the option is available for the video, there will be a link next to it that says "Embed HTML." Click on it, and the necessary code to display the video on a web page will be shown. Add the code to any web page where you want the video to appear.
12. How to monetize Google Videos
    What you want to do is create a theme-based site on a certain niche or industry (e.g., martial arts, quilting, etc.). First, search Google Video for using those theme keywords to make sure there are already videos online related to your chosen niche.
    
    If so, register a domain name such as martial-arts-videos.com or free-quilting-videos.com, and create a basic web site using the name. Use blogging software such as WordPress or MovableType to simplify the process.
13. Create a web page for each video, including a text description of what's covered in the video. Depending upon the theme, you may be able to find hundreds of related videos. Each one would then have its own unique web page on your site.
14. Add Google AdSense ads and/or related affiliate links to each page. Include an opt-in box so people can join your mailing list, allowing you to notify visitors of new videos and special offers related to your theme.
    
    If you have success with one theme-based site, find another topic, and repeat the process with additional sites.
15. Sell Your Video Content at iStockVideo
    
    iStockVideo.com is a new service from the the folks who brought us iStockPhoto.com, a wonderful royalty free stock photo web site (learn more about royalty free stock photos). With iStockVideo, you'll get paid for uploading video (stock footage) that other people want to use in their videos...
16. Find Sponsors for Your Videos
    
    Are your videos interesting, professional, and do they target a specific market that advertisers would like to reach? If so, there's a good chance you might be able to find sponsors who will pay you to reach that audience. (If not, these web video tutorials will help you create better videos.)
    
    With the The Web Video Player™, you can give sponsors the opportunity to advertise during and after your video using the Logo Image and Exit Image features.
    
    Charge sponsors by the month, per click-through, or per unique viewer. By checking your web video player stats, you and your sponsors will know exactly how many people watched the video, and when.
17. Use Web Video to Sell/Support Your Own Products
    
    Do you have your own products/services to sell? If so, use video to help tell your story and turn prospects into customers.
18. Combine Web Video with Affiliate Marketing
    
    Sure, you can use web video to help market your own products or services. While this may at first seem like a no-brainer, there are more opportunities here than you might realize.
    
    Most people think this is limited to putting promotional videos on their own web sites, hoping this will increase sales. Sure, done correctly, it should. But let's take this a step further...
    
    If you sell your own products and services, you need to look at using web videos to draw prospects into your site. For example, by combining the The Web Video Player™ with your own affiliate program, you'd be packing a powerful "one-two punch" when it comes to your internet marketing.
19. Create Video Ads for Other Businesses
