7 Ways You Can Make Money with a Video Blog (vlog)...

Making money with vlogs

By utilizing the many different features of the WebVideoZone.com internet video player, you will be able to monetize your vlogs and web videos in ways you never thought possible.

The promotional opportunities are endless. You can easily capitalize on the fact that you have the undivided attention of interested viewers, allowing you to offer them more of what they already want.

For example, you can quickly and easily customize your player so that:

  • A small, clickable logo displays anywhere onscreen while the video is playing. You set the URL, and the link can open in a new or current window.
  • A custom graphic displays before the video starts (e.g., "Click here to watch video about...")
  • A custom, clickable graphic displays after the movie ends (e.g., "Click here for more information..."). Once again, you set the URL, and the link can open in a new or current window.
  • Your video can automatically re-direct viewers to a new page after the video is over (e.g., page for more information, shopping cart, etc.). Warning: Be careful how you use this feature, as some people may not like being automatically taken to a new page.
  • The video player can display a small text link while your video is playing (e.g., "Click here for more information...). You set the text and link URL.

Once your video is online and ready for prime time, you can monetize your content in the following seven ways:

  1. Promote a product/service you sell.
  2. Use the video to provide information, and then give the viewer the option to purchase/request more information at the end.
  3. Promote the products/service of other companies via an affiliate link at the end of your video.
  4. Find sponsors who would like to place their ad within the video (using the "logo" feature), or at the end of your video.
  5. Syndicate your video - for a fee. Offer other sites the ability to use your video on their site. Just give them the one line of javascript code to insert on their pages.
  6. Video Tip of the Week - syndicate your vlog utilizing a "video tip of the week" format. Encourage others to place your video on their sites by joining your affiliate program and rewarding them for click-throughs from your video.
  7. Accept sponsorships / advertising from companies interested in reaching your viewers. Place the ads near your video players.

And you're not limited to using just one of the above strategies. Combine two or more for maximum revenue potential.

Be sure to check your video player stats to see which videos are the most popular. Then you'll know what people want, allowing you to make more of the same kinds of profitable web videos.
