Create Videos
In this day and age, anyone can make money filming videos. I don’t want to make it sound too simple, but if you own a video camera or a decent smartphone, have at least a minimum set of skills, and possess a keen-eye for entrepreneurship, then you can easily start making money with your video camera.
If you can shoot an interesting video, then you can upload it online and make money; that’s all there is to it, really.
The beauty of the internet in the 21st Century is that there are a plethora of different video hosting sites, some of which offer an ad-revenue service for uploaded videos.
For instance, YouTube is one of the biggest video sharing websites on the net, with more than 35,000 videos uploaded each day, this will definitely be one of your first options to start your video career.
Your video can be anything from an interesting event, video tutorial, wedding coverage, legal video, stock footage, video resumes, and so on.
As long as the public can learn something, or be entertained by your content, then you have potential to make money with your videos.
Remember, the more views you get, the more potential money you will make with ad revenue.
In order for you to make money with online videos, here are some steps you can take:
● Make sure you have a good video camera with quality lenses as well as a microphone, recording and mixing equipment, etc.
Unfortunately, the equipment necessary to make top quality videos in a professional setting can be really expensive, but the good thing is that we are not working on a professional setting, and thus, we can afford to compromise on certain items and brands.
Your requirements may vary, but these are the absolute essentials we can come up with: A good video camera, a tripod, a camera light or, depending on the setting and type of footage, a three-point lighting kit, and shotgun microphone.
Of course, there are a lot more instruments and gear that you will need to purchase if you wish to polish your trade inthe future, but with this basic equipment on hand, you are well on your way to producing top-quality video content.
● Create your video. The type of footage and filming style will obviously depend on your niche. It all boils down to deciding what type of content you want to produce.
Depending on whether you want to make documentaries, video ads, or stock videos, the techniques and methods, as well therecommended equipment, will vary.
● Register on sites like Fiverr and offer your video
production services there. See what others are offering and create similar listings to the already-popular ones.
● As I mentioned above, the internet is full of websites in which you can capitalize on your videos by making money from ad revenue. Alternatively, there are also websites
such as this one that will purchase your content outright, whether for stock footage or advertising purposes.
Furthermore, the more entrepreneurial-inclined of you may want to create a website to host the content. This option can either be very lucrative, or very costly; it all depends on how you advertise yourself.
How much can I make out of online videos?
Like pretty much every job in the world, the earnings will vary depending on the type of content and the type of work. If you create videos on demand for people, you could ask for a certain amount of money per minute, per hour, or per video.
The important thing is that you build portfolio and a reputation. As your fame increases with time, so will the amount of customers looking to hire your services. And at that time is when you will start seeing true profits.
