Make Money With Your Video

There are several places on the net you can get set up to make money. It varies how you do it so check out each site and read the fine print. But you can make money making video. Depending on what kind of video you make, you can choose from a plethora of sites that will market it. Of course they have to stay in business so their plans are geared for them to make money too. That's ok if you want to make videos and let them handle the distribution, sales, and stuff.
Below is a list of a few places you can make money with your video. Check them out and read their plans carefully. One, or more of them may be the ticket you are looking for!
