New Way to Profit off of Online Video

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 @ 4:18 am

I am so excited about this new service that I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am except by saying that I am excited.

You don’t need to be a genius to see that online video is huge, but you do need to be smart to think of a way to profit off of it if you are a website owner.  RevLayer did just that, they created an advertising format that allows website publishers (blog owners, website owners, people with a website) to make money by displaying relevant advertisements over embedded videos on your website.  Now average shmoes like me can cash in on the video craze (through my website empire), well that is if people don’t mind watching videos with ad’s that you have to close before you watch it… which could make or break this whole idea… but let’s not get down on this new service just yet, because quite possibly it could be the largest revenue stream for many website owners.  Possibly.

Just think of the possibilities.  People master adsense and make a ton, now we have something that could be bigger, because let’s face it, people watch videos more than they read content (I’m basing this idea on the statistic that roughly 80% of online users are online for entertainment).

I left a nice comment to the article where I found out about this service here.   Join in on the discussion!  Let the writers of VentureBeat know you read it.
