Here are 5 ways you can make money with videos and get started in less than one day
1. Upload Your Videos To YouTube
This is probably the most common way that most video entrepreneurs begin to start making money with videos. It’s drop-dead simple to do and doesn’t require a large investment in video equipment to get started:

Create a channel on YouTube
Start uploading videos to your channel regularly.
When you start to accumulate viewers and you start to build the number of subscribers to your channel, you can sign up to monetize your videos by allowing YouTube to display ads on your videos. The more views your videos get, the more money that you will earn from those who view or click on your video ads. You can start a YouTube channel today but earnings will take a long while to build over time unless you manage to strike gold and create a viral video right off the bat. There are other ways to make money with your YouTube channel as well, though, which we detail in other articles here on Video Entrepreneur Magazine
2. Produce Videos or Offer A Video Related Service to Others
There are many people that want to start making money with videos, but they are incapable of creating professional quality videos for themselves. You can help these people to create high-quality videos for their project on a freelance basis. In this way, you can accept their orders to create, edit or even market videos and get paid for the services that you give them. Of course, you can also offer your video production service locally for special events, such as weddings and business conferences.
3. Create Video Lessons
If you are a subject matter expert in a certain niche or topic, it’s a great idea for you to start creating training videos related to your niche. How-to and tutorial videos, help your audience learn more information about a subject they are interested in, as well as to solve their problems. For instance, if you are a fitness instructor, you can create video lessons about how to do exercises to lose weight, how to do exercises to gain muscle, how to do certain exercises correctly, etc.

Here are 5 ways you can make money with videos and get started in less than one day:

This is probably the most common way that most video entrepreneurs begin to start making money with videos. It’s drop-dead simple to do and doesn’t require a large investment in video equipment to get started:

You can offer your videos via a subscription service, where your clients pay a monthly or yearly fee for continued access to your videos, you can offer them online on a pay-per-view basis or you can sell your videos as a bundle via download or by sending them on disc or other memory storage device. You can potentially make money with videos starting today by creating and selling tutorial videos.

4. Sell Your Stock Footage
Similar to stock photos, there are also online services that sell stock footage for commercial use. These stock videos and “b-roll” clips are usually used by commercial video producers to complete their projects. If you are able to create professional videos of interesting subjects, you can start selling your stock footage through those websites and make money with videos right away. Keep in mind that if you sell stock footage through these websites you will split revenue of all sales of your videos the service provider that hosts your stock footage; they host the video, handle the transactions and market their website. If your videos have a particular subject or focus, like underwater video footage, for example, you can also sell stock footage directly through your own website. If you have a large enough reach, you could potentially start making with your videos very quickly, but for most video entrepreneurs it will take a while to build a profitable market.

5. Affiliate Advertising and Selling Product Placement on Viral Videos
Another way to make money with videos is to create or acquire the rights to viral videos and then sell product placement or affiliate products through those videos. Viral videos are short pieces that people will enjoy watching and sharing. You can create inspiring, funny, controversial or emotional videos and share them via your social media accounts hoping that your social connections will comment and share your videos among their friends and that they will share them with their friends, too – but that is the hard way; there’s no guarantee a video will go viral and you may make one hundred of them before watching a video catch on and spread like wildfire.
