How to Make Your Own Online-Video Site

ByNalts

This 6-minute video tutorial (“How to Make Your Own Online Video Site”) is designed to accompany the post from last week titled “The Idiot’s Guide to Making an Online Video Site.” It’s really quite easy- even if you have no technical skills like me. Check out www.CubeBreak.com to see an example of a site I created without a lick of technical training.

Why bother?

  1. You’ll have your own URL to brand your videos
  2. You can easily tell friends how to access your videos without having them get lost in another video site
  3. You can make money (via Revver, Google ads, and Amazon affiliate fees)

Here are the 5 steps:

  1. Park a domain (Yahoo.com will give you monthly hosting with e-mail)
  2. Build a site (I use Yahoo Sitebuilder)
  3. Create video “collections” on Revver
  4. Grab the “widget” code from Revver and drop them into HTML boxes on your site
  5. Ad additional ads

The money won’t exactly pour in until you promote the site well (more on that in future and past posts). Good luck- let me know if you make one, or if you have questions. Contact information in the “About” page of this blog.

Be the “Life of Your Office” With These Tasteless Pranks

ByNalts

I love a slow-boil video, and this one delivers some hysterical prank bits that become increasingly tasteless… from desktop and fax pranks to “shivving” and murder. All with whispy 1940s commercial music. “Five April Fool’s Office Pranks” on Break.com. I also enjoy the repetition of a gag, like this skinny Brit’s unbridled enthusiasm when his…

Sirius and XM Merge

ByNalts

If Sirius and XM can merge, what’s ahead for online video? Not much for now. It’s unfortunate that there would be a merger in a space where consumers would benefit from competition. And yet there remains a proliferation of consumer-generated video sites — most of whom don’t attract enough eyeballs to exist alone. Still, the barriers to…

The Top Web Video Agents: Check Your Spam Folders for These Names

ByNalts

Daisy Whitney reports on Hollywood’s Top Web-Video Agents. It’s interesting that there’s really no mention of popular YouTube stars crossing over. “Ask a Ninja” is about the closest we’ve seen, but that’s a character and it was far bigger than YouTube. Three parts worth mentioning: Television writer Seth MacFarlane’s Web series “Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy”…
