How to Convert Online Videos into Income

Did you know you can make income by creating videos and uploading them to the internet? It's pretty easy to do and here's a great way to start a business that can lead in any direction you want to take it.......
First make some videos, doesn't matter what they are about. The more popular you think the subject of the videos is, or more interesting it is, the better, but any videos will work for this. You can make the videos with a camcorder at home or use a cheap webcam. Talk about anything you like on the webcam or videotape funny or exciting stuff. Basically, anything you think people will want to watch. Once you make a video, you can edit it using free programs such as Windows Movie Maker. While you are editing, you can insert text into the video which will advertise your website. You can create a website through any cheap host such as HostGator and use their Site Builder program to create your site. Then once your sign up for a website, it doesn't matter what you put on it. You can even just leave the entire site down and just put "This site is currently experiencing difficulties." Now take those videos which include a banner on the screen or text that advertise your site, and upload them to all the popular video sites such as Youtube, Myspace, Dailymotion, Metacafe, blip.tv etc...
Now people will see your videos on there, and see the ads telling them to go to that site. Now your site has instant traffic and the more videos you upload, the more traffic it will get. So eventually, when you have enough traffic, you can actually sell that traffic to other people. That's right, people actually sell their website traffic to other people who don't know how to get it. Take a look here on this Ebay page and you will see how many people are making money by selling traffic. You can sell it other places as well where you will have less competition such as Craigslist, iOffer, Ecrater, OnlineAuction etc... You can use Google Analytics to monitor your site and see how much traffic you are getting day to day. Once you have enough traffic built up, you can transfer it to other peoples websites by going to wherever you purchased the domain for your site and "forwarding it" to someone else's domain. Just go into the settings for your domain and choose to "forward it" and enter the domain name you would like to forward to. After you send them their traffic, forward it back to your domain name and wait until you have another customer and then forward it again.
