Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet access
• Digital video recorder
• PayPal account

1. Visit Metacafe's website (see Resources below for link). Scroll down to the bottom of the Metacafe home page and click on the link that says "Content Partners" under the heading "Work With Us." You will need to fill out a basic questionnaire (name, website, email address). The Metacafe team will respond to you with an email to help you set up your content partner account.

2. Begin uploading videos to the site. The videos that perform the best are user-created and usually humorous. Developing a niche is a good way to ensure a loyal following. Metacafe pays its partners $5.00 per 1,000 page views. The more interesting your videos are, the more money they can make.

3. Market the videos you have uploaded to Metacafe. One of the best ways to do this is by having a blog that links to your Metacafe videos. Use Web forums to help spread the word. The goal is to increase visitors to your videos and keep them coming back for more. You will receive an email statement showing visitors to your videos and a monthly payment through PayPal.

Tips & Warnings

• Use as many resources as possible to promote your video to potential visitors; your earning possibilities are unlimited. Tell friends and family members to spread the word to increase your viewing traffic.
• Metacafe will not issue payment until your earnings are at least $100, and you must have a user rating of at least 3 out of 5 to earn the pay.
