Show Me The Money!
There's money in movies. Apart from the potential there is to monetize traffic in any number of ways (FailBlog.org gets a ton of traffic and is monetizing with ads), you can actually use video to DIRECTLY monetize your market niche. The crucial questions to ask yourself:
- Can I offer of something people want to see on video?
- Is anybody else doing it? (Especially for free!)
- Is there enough demand for it?
This kind of research is no different from regular content planning. Only, if you're hoping to sell videos, you must be absolutely certain that they can't get the information free on YouTube or other portals.
With his website Learn Classic Rock Songs, guitarist and online SBI entrepreneur Kirby Swinemar sells how-to video guides. Each is reasonably priced, and you get to see a snippet of the video before you buy.
This is a pretty smart way to monetize talent with web video. Maybe you can find a similar angle for your passion?
Clearly if you're hoping to sell videos, you need to be totally professional. Your videos have to be top drawer: well-scripted and a very high standard of presentation.
