Earn Money From Your Videos Youtube & Other Video Sites

I know you can make money from youtube as I got an email from them a while back
Earn Money From Your Video
Apply for partnership to take advantage of your popular video: *******
I understand you need to have google adsense to earn money with youtube but my friends also remembered something about another site called Mashima (or something sounding like that!?) that pays you per view of your video...

Does anyone know any sites like this at all or know the correct name for the Mashima site??

  • But it's a lot of work -- no pain, no gain, as they say.
    You can do it by becoming a partner, but that's not an easy thing to
    do.

    First of all, you have to be resident in a country where the partner
    program is active -- the list is growing slowly, but not all countries
    are on it yet.

    Then you have to be making videos which do not violate any of
    YouTube's Community Guidelines or Terms of Use, and which are
    completely above the board where copyright and privacy laws are
    concerned. This means, for example, that before you can upload a video
    that uses the latest Miley Cyrus single as background music, or a clip
    from the Simpsons, you must get permission from the copyright owners
    (which can be time-consuming and expensive).

    Your videos also have to be technically and artistically decent --
    editing, lighting, sound, scripting, acting, etc., don't have to be
    professional, but the video does need to be watchable.

    Finally, your videos should be interesting and/or entertaining, as
    original as you can make them, and attract a wide audience. You'll
    probably need at least 1000 subscribers, and your videos should get at
    least a few hundred views within a day of being uploaded -- preferably
    a few thousand.

    If you think you're partner material, It may take minutes, or it may
    take weeks, but eventually you'll get a reply.

    If you're accepted, you then have some paperwork to do, and once
    that's sorted, you can go ahead and monetize your videos. Those videos
    will have adverts put on them, and you will receive a share of the
    advertising revenue they generate. But unless you have hundreds of
    thousands of subscribers, it'll be little more than pocket money..

    Lol good try, you were on the right lines... Oh go on ill put you out of your misery... It's Mashable you were looking for right? www.mashable.net If you like that also check out Online Social Media www.onlinesocialmedia.net - does pretty much the exact same thing. You can write articles for them and get paid i think. No need to thank me. ;p
