Earning Income With Your Video Blog

Posted by admin On April - 5 - 2009

One of the benefits of running a video blog for profit is that they are easy to manage and extremely popular with subscribers all over the Internet.  In addition to being popular with subscribers they are very search engine friendly.  Since vlogs are run on the same platform as a traditional blog they are optimized for maximum search engine performance.  They also give you a chance to connect with your audience in a much more effective manner than writing ever could.

There are many ways to make money by posting videos to your blog and honestly the only limit is your imagination.  The following are popular, tried and true methods that can turn your video blog into a profit making machine.

Ad Revenue
There are several ways for you the earn money on your video blog with the help of sponsored ads.  Most people concentrate on earning money from ads based on the visitors going to the website of the sponsor.  Since video blogs receive a lot of traffic, focus on earning money through pay per impression advertisement programs.  These programs pay you, the vlog owner, based on the number of times their ad is displayed on a visitor’s page.
Pay per impression programs include TribalFusion, FastClick, CasaleMedia, ValueClick, MaxOnline, BurstMedia, and RealTechNetwork.

These programs are great since they pay you for ever 1,000 times your page is loaded.  They do not depend on the action of the visitor meaning you will still earn money even if your visitor doesn’t click on a link, sign up for a program, or anything else.  This is a great, easy, way to benefit from the traffic that your vlog will receive.  Successful vlog owners often receive $40.00 each day in ad revenue alone!

Pay per click ad campaigns are another way to earn money from your blog.  These often pay more than pay per impression programs but they depend on the user clicking the advertisement or visiting an outside site.  Popular pay per click programs includes Google, Yahoo Publisher Network, Clicksor, All Feeds, Fast Click, Veoda, Bidvertiser, and Revenue Pilot.

Those that have not had much luck with pay per click programs in the past might not be to eager to use these programs.  It is true that it can be hard to earn a decent amount of money with click through programs but what many do not realize is that video blogs have a much higher click through rate than traditional blogs and websites.  Many video blog owners have a click through rate of at least 25%.
