I wanted to write a brief introductory post today about another way to make money with video.  I want to tell you how you can make money by selling a video product.  What exactly is a video product?  Well, it is a collection of videos that is of commercial interest to others because it teaches them how to create or use something.

Maybe you are passionate about photography.  You could do a set of videos that shows someone how to choose the right camera for their needs, how to take the best action shots, or how to do some editing with the latest photography software.  Maybe you are a web designer who would be interested in creating a video product that shows people how to build their own site.  Anything is possible.

Once you have created your video product, you could sell it on a website that you create, or even burn the videos to a DVD and distribute it to your customers through the mail.  You could potentially earn a lot of money because you will be able to keep all the profits you make from this kind of venture.  The product will belong to you, and you will be selling it on your own for the price you think it is worth.

To get you started I have a few basic tips for now.  First, you need to keep quality in mind.  Make sure that you have a good webcam or digital video camera to do your work with.  Also make sure that you have the proper microphone as there is nothing worse than a video with poor sound quality.  Please also be sure that your video series follows a logical order and that each video is easily digestible.  You want to break the videos up into chunks that each cover a specific facet of the subject you are trying to teach.

I hope this post will help you to get started making some money with video.  In the future, I will offer more posts on working with video, and on how you can use it to make money from home.  I hope you have enjoyed this quick introduction to video products.  Please join me back here again soon, or subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed to learn more about work at home opportunities on the internet.

What you may not be aware of is the fact that the success of You Tube prompted the creation of dozens of other video sites throughout the internet.  I want to tell you about one such video sharing service today.  The site is called Revver, and it’s got a unique quality.  What makes Revver special is that you can actually make money with the videos that you upload to their service.

The way you do this is fairly simple.  When you upload a video to Revver, an ad with a piece of tracking code is automatically inserted by the site.  When people watch your videos, any money that is generated from them through the ad is split 50/50 between you and Revver.  This is great, but a look at Revver’s site will reveal something even better.  Since the ad and tracking code are embedded within the actual video, they stay there no matter where the video goes.  This means that if someone puts one of your videos on their website, or shares it in any way on the internet you will only earn more money.  If the embedded ad results in revenue from any place on the net, you still get your 50%.

If you want to make money from home using Revver, I suggest that you do some videos about something that you have special knowledge of.  Do you play the guitar?  How about doing a video series with some guitar lessons?  Are you a great cook?  Maybe you could put together some content showing others how to make your favorite recipes.  You can do videos about anything, and you can make money with all of them.

There are a few things to be aware of if you are going to use Revver.  Videos aee limited to 100MB, so keep an eye on file size.  Do not upload anything that violate copyright or other laws, and do not upload any kind of pornographic content.  A variety of file formats are supported on the site, and you can tag you video with words that describe it’s content.  Tags will make your video easier for others to find in search, and thereby increase your chances of earning money.

I hope you have enjoyed this work from home opportunity that slows you to make money by being creative with your video.  If you like this post, please share it with others, and please join me back here soon for another internet money making strategy.

Recently, I read an article detailing how the Governor of Virginia gave his support for a day dedicated to teleworking. According to this article, the State of Virginia is trying to encourage organizations to embrace the concept of work at home as a way of reducing the stressors on the environment caused by a commuting workforce.

I was pleased and not at all surprised to find this article. With the state of the world’s economies being shaky, at present, and the interest in environmentally friendly vehicles increasing daily, it is nice to see both government and big business taking some steps to influence the environment in a positive way. I think most would agree that any restructuring of business having a positive financial impact is also a welcome occurrence.

The article goes on to say, that participating in these kinds of work at home trials offers companies a chance to test whether or not they can perform business functions well outside of a workplace environment. I believe that taking part in such programs will reduce hesitation in organizations with regard to taking on a less traditional business model. If companies see favorable results from such telework tryouts, it stands to reason that they might be willing to make work from home a more permanent part of their business model. To read the full article about Virginias move toward telework, please check out this blog post.

I hope you enjoyed this article, and that you will come back here soon to learn more about the best work from home money making opportunities.

You will notice when going to the site that Surveyhead offers a $5.00 signup bonus to it’s members.  This money is paid into your account immediately when you sign up for free, so it’s a nice incentive to get started.

When you login to your account for the first time, you will see several buttons running across the top of the screen.  The two most important buttons are “Dashboard, and “My Rewards.”  The Dashboard page should be the first thing you see when you login.  This is where you will see all the current surveys that are on offer for you.

About Midway up this page, you should also see a link marked “profiles.”  I recommend that you click this link on your first login and fill out all the profiles.  This is where Surveyhead will ask you questions about the things you buy, the places you travel, your education etc.  These profiles are very important, because the site uses the information collected here to match you up with surveys that you might be eligible for each day.  They will even pay you a little extra for filling out the profiles.

You should check your Dashboard daily for new survey opportunities.  It will list the title of each survey, the amount of money you will earn if you participate, the odds that you will qualify to participate, and the approximate length of time it should take to do the survey.

When you do complete a survey, go to the “earnings” section of your account to see if it has been added.  Please note that it can take some time for Surveyhead to credit you for the survey, however, I have received credit for every survey I have participated in.

I recommend using this service for two main reasons.  First, they have a steady daily supply of surveys to offer.  The site also offers fairly high value surveys with nearly all of them paying at least $1.  At this point, take note of the fact that you must earn $25 to make the payout.  I have found this is not hard to do, and have been paid several times.

Surveyhead is now offering some great new payout options.  They have always offered cash through a PayPal payment which is a great choice that allows you to avoid the hassle of checks.  They have also recently begun offering payout in the form of gift certificates from places like Amazon and Nike.  Finally if you wish, you may have your earnings dontated to charaties like the American Cancer Society, and the Humane Society among others.

The one drawback of this service is that it has no referral program, so your earnings are based solely on your individual efforts.  If you are looking for work from home companies that allow you to increase your earnings through referrals, then I suggest you check out my CashCrate post.  That said, Surveyhead is a fun way to earn a little extra cash for surveys, and it is very easy to participate.  As always, good luck with your earning efforts, and I hope you will return here soon for another great money making opportunity!
