I wrote a wordy piece shouting about the wonders of Revver as a source of online income. They pay a 20% share of pay per click advertising revenue to the person hosting the video on the site, plus 50% to the video-maker. In theory it is good, and in the long term, assuming they stick with the program and build up a Youtube-matching library, it has the potential to be a tidy source of checks. I am not holding my breath, though, as I still haven’t reached a dollar (but as I am no Spielberg with my content offerings, maybe I don’t even deserve that much!) For the time-being though, we are sticking with Revver, and here’s why.

Since the last post, I came across a few tips on paid video hosting alternatives. Again, I can’t remember who exactly gave out the pearls of wisdom, (they are linked to this blog somehow) but the upshot of it is, Youtube are the big kahuna and not paying us bloggers a dime, and the paying alternatives are good in theory, but currently short on mass appeal. One option to make money from videos, if I read it correctly, requires you to spend several hours a day of hard graft, copy and pasting for $50 a month! No thanks, my time is better spent building up my blog, not expanding their library.

Which brings me round to the point of this post. We like the “attract lots of traffic and THEN make money” route. It was just a gut feeling, based on “life experience of business, man”, until yesterday when I saw how this tactic is reaping spectacular rewards for John Chow who started monetizing his 250,000 visits a month traffic in October. Maybe Adsense and co have their place in Pisstakers articles, but for the video department, I feel that cents, even tens of dollars don’t matter too much on the road to creating an appealling and useful feature that should attract a ton of extra (monetizable in the long term) visitors to our blog. So we are going to use Revver technology to make a great video section that has content that we think will make Digg look very superficial.

Being techy for a moment, if anyone wants a desktop alternative to Revver, with all the looks and then some, check out Carousel from YourHead. Another slick option for a movie gallery. You have to roll your own links, which is a downside, but it has the great advantage that it can be styled to suit your theme and more importantly lets you show films from anywhere on the internet.

Of course the limitation is you need a Mac and you need Rapidweaver software, and you need some imagination, like Boomchilds, but hey, if you are a winner, that isn’t too much of a stretch:) Happy New Year from The Pisstakers

Here we are heading into 2007 and all of the good things it will bring us – yes, honest!

I’m back to blogging regularly again on Mike’s Money Making Mission. Today’s post is called Riveting Money Making Thoughts

There is also a further article added to my Successful & Profitable Blogging blog. This one is titled The Quest for the Golden Google PageRank.

Something different:
How do you fancy watching 1000 worldwide satellite television programs? Not all at once of course, but without paying any regular subscription. In other words have access to them all for free on your PC. Can’t be bad, everything from sport to, well, anything. Here’s the link for info: Click Here To Gain Access To Over 1,000 TV Stations!

That’s all for now,

Good blogging,
Mike.

I came across this site from Quit Your Day Job and thought, hey, why not! I am fairly new to the blogging arena, but like many other people, I feel I have something to say, want to share or just needed an outlet. Blogging sounded like the ticket!

My blog is called Worth It All. It is just a little blog with feel good stuff on it as I am always trying to find my own “inner peace”. As I say in my profile, “I am not a religious person, but I find comfort in quotes and the Dalai Lama. Sum it up for me in a sentence that makes me ponder, and I’ll be your friend.” I also enjoy photography, so you will see some of my images on there, mostly floral, and stories that just give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Other times, you might just find something silly or cool that I have found (or found through someone else) on the internet that I think is worthy of sharing for fun. (Lee has found a couple of things I have posted on my blog).

Thanks for letting me join your community. See you around on Blog About Your Blog!

Ok, I think we got all of the kinks out. For some reason it wouldnt allow all 4 polls on one post, so I had to break it down.

Christmas Eve, the presents are under the tree and everything is ready for the big day. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all readers of Blog about your Blog a Very Happy Christmas – or alternatively a Happy Holiday.

May you get the things you wish for.

Good Blogging,
Mike.

OK folks, it is the eve of Christmas Eve. My husband thinks that is a worthy enough reason to open a present, but that idea got shot down quick. I’ve never heard of this tracking Santa thing before but a lot of other people had. I was definitely excited to see this so I wanted to put the link here on REoW for all of you to track as you are up surfing the net over the next 2 days!! Click track Santa for the count down of when he will be leaving the North Pole and heading off on his journey. According to their calculations he is leaving in 9 hours 40 minutes and 3, 2, 1… seconds!!This is so exciting!
