Making Money With Your Web Videos
Scott Kirsner of CinemaTech has compiled a cool list of sites where filmmakers and video producers can get paid for their video productions. His list includes the companies names and web addresses, subject matter, length restrictions, details about how you get paid, and notes about each opportunity. He collected all of this info between 2005 and 2007 for part of his recently publisted book, The Future of Web Video: New Opportunities for Producers, Entrepreneurs, Media Companies and Advertisers.
There are quite a few recognizable names like YouTube and Blip.tv, but most of them I had never heard of including Break.com, ExpertVillage.com, Jaman and more. Although some of the information is out of date considering how fast things change on the web, most of the sites listed are still active. In addition to online distribution, Scott also lists some sites that offer DVD Burning and DVD Merchandising services. If you produce web video and would like to look into ways you can get paid for your work, then this list is a great starting point. Be sure to check out his book as well.
