Quote:An American friend told me last week that some of the hottest talk among venture capitalists was about Revver.com, a website enabling you to upload your videos in an easy way and get paid for them. How much you get depends on how many people click on adverts tagged to your submissions. The point is that you keep 50% of any ad revenue generated, with Revver taking the rest. That is a fair split and could open up a whole new world for content-makers.
The revenue split sets it apart from dozens of video sites sprouting up in response to the exploding popularity of digital cameras (including those on phones) and the cut in the cost of storage space.

From the Revver.com step-by-step guide:
Quote:Revver attaches short advertisements to the end of videos that are uploaded to the Revver website.
Since the ad (called a RevTag) is permanently embedded in your video, you get paid no matter where your video may go regardless if it is:
* E-mailed to friends
* Burned to a CD
* Uploaded to another popular website
* Shared via P2P or IM
* Linked on del.icio.us, digg.com, your own blog, or anywhere else
No matter how it gets there, when people click on the ad, you get paid. Don't like certain kinds of ads? We let you specify which ads you want associated with your video.
We even host your video for free. Sure, everybody does that now but we are unique as we are the only service that gets you paid.
