Making
Money From Videos, Photos and Blog Entries
by Michael Haaren
Could an amateur
video of Mentos being dropped in Coke bottles earn thousands of dollars
for its makers? Strange but true. Sites like Google and Revver are
pairing amateur videos with ads to generate revenue that’s shared with
contributors. (Grab your camera and shoot your pet parrot singing
Wagner’s “Ring of the Nibelungen.”)
What other new and legitimate sources of dollars is the Internet
offering the home-based “minipreneur”? There are too many to list here,
but sites such as Scoopt.com are selling amateur news photos and blog
entries to the media and splitting the fees, while old standby eBay
helps “Trading Assistants” make money by pairing them with new eBay
sellers, with the Assistants receiving a percentage of the sale (click
here to learn more).
