Making money producing how-to videos


Posted by Joseph Devlin

Check out this great article in the NY Times about how to make money producing how-to videos for the web. (You might need to subscribe to view the article. Subscribing to the Times is painless and free)  It details how some video producers have made hundreds of thousands of dollars producing videos about stuff like how to turn a flashlight into a laser or how to teach a cat how to use the toilet. The article lists sites that will pay for this sort of work and the sorts of videos that  do best. What it doesn't tell you is that sites like Metacafe don't start paying you until you have reached a certain number of hits and that you won't get paid for hits you get before you meet your quota. 

This is not a subject I have a lot of experience with. Anybody out there have any good or bad stories to tell about uploading video to Metacafe, WonderHowTo, VideoJug, Howcast, ExpertVillage, Graspr or any of the other sites that specialize in this sort of material?
