Youtube is now a household name. 3 or 4 years ago, it was nothing. That’s the speed at which these sites take off, and how technology develops.
Video is fast becoming the latest craze in advertising. You’re going to see more and more ads before and after videos online.
Fortunately, you can now earn money from your videos. Metacafe and Revver are two well respected video hosts which will pay you if your video is popular.
Youtube have recently introduced their partner program for video uploaders in the US, Canada and the UK.
Some people are making thousands of dollars per month from this, and unless you are some sort of Steven Spielberg in disguise, it’s difficult to get 1 million views on your homemade video of you eating your dinner…. But if you have a funny or interesting video, it will spread virally on the net and you can always turn to digg or stumbleupon for a little boost up the ladder 
Youtube as I’ve pointed out above will be introducing this sort of ‘paid for views’ system internationally, but for now, Metacafe and Revver are your best bet as they’re tried and tested.
