One of the most popular ways people make money online is through photography. Granted, this is not an easy route. But, it is still possible. Stock photography is probably one of the most common ways people do this on the web.

Anyway, the video below by professional photographer Anthony Maddaloni shares some really useful tips on how to start a photography business. While he may be talking about business in general, you can adapt his tips in to online businesses for photographers.

How To Start a Photography Business

Not too long ago, the latest biggest buzz in new browsers launched: Google Chrome. But, being primarily a Mac Girl (Chrome is only currently available on Windows) + the initial reviews I’ve read online, I didn’t rush to check it out.

However, this short review on Google Chrome for Online Entrepreneurs from SubHub almost made me wish I can go and play with it too. Not quite, but almost. I’m sticking to Flock at the moment.

What about you? Have you checked it out yet? Are you making the switch? What do you think of Google Chrome?

In any case, if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a YouTube video on Google Chrome’s various features:

Google Chrome for Your Online Work?

Over the last year or so, there had been more and more ways to monetize video content. One big company who recently embraced this concept is Amazon when they launched the Amazon Video Widget.

Basically, the idea is that when you sign-in to your Amazon affiliate account, you can visit the Video Widget wizard (under ‘Widgets’ section). Using the wizard, you can upload an original video and add relevant Amazon products as pop-ads. You can add as many – or as little – as you wish. Video formats accepted include: avi, flv, mov, wmv.

Here as an example:

It still seemed a bit buggy when I tested it out. Some products were added, but they disappear on the video playback.

Anyway, it’ll be interesting to know how people will accept this type of video monetization. Let me know what you think of it!

YouTube is probably one of the most popular services online. But, how do you incorporate its use in helping you to make money online?

1. Add Premium Partners’ Videos on Your Blog or Site. If you have an Adsense account, log in and get the code for ‘video units’. You can create a YouTube Video Player and customise it according to various categories, key words, and content providers.

2. Run affiliate ads on YouTube videos. Chris on Making Money Scoop has some tips on how to do this using various tools.

3. Provide regular quality video content. Perhaps, you can become a ‘premium’ publisher and Google will split ad revenues with you.

4. Start a video blog or site that features various YouTube content. These blogs and sites can be anything from cute animal videos to craft tutorials. Then, run relevant ads and affiliate programmes on your blog or site.

5. Accept direct ads on your YouTube content. If you upload your own videos on a regular basis and you have a decent following, you might want to accept ads on your videos.

6. Enrich your sales using YouTube videos. If you sell an item on an online shop and you are able to compliment your listings with YouTube videos, then it will be useful. Also, you can link to your sales page on your YouTube. This might help bring video viewers to visit your sales page.

So, do you use YouTube at all in your online business? Can you think of other ways to use YouTube videos to help you to make money online?

6 Ways to Make Money Using YouTube

Metacafe is a web community/service of online video makers and viewers. Pretty much works like YouTube, with a cash rewards twist.

At the face of it, there are basically two ways you can make money online via Metacafe and web videos:

1) Producer Rewards Program. This is specifically geared for people who enjoy creating original videos. Original videos may be uploaded by users and submitted to the producer rewards program.

Basically, your video makes money when it meets certain criteria. Other than being original (and free from copyright issues), it starts “making money” when it reaches 1,000 views. You get $5 per thousand views.

The catch? You can only get paid when your video reaches 20,000 views ($100) or more – AND it must keep a user rating of 3.0 or better. So yeah, you must bring in the numbers first.

A tough gig to do, for sure. But, one user have been reported to have made nearly $100,000 in total. Other top producers have made $30,000+. Some have just made a few hundred dollars. I don’t think many YouTube users get that opportunity to make that type of money. At least, not at this time.

2) Metacafe Affiliate Program. If you’re not interested in creating original videos, but you still want to make money from online videos, then you might want to be a Metacafe affiliate instead. Just sign-up and put the video-sharing code on your site, and hope that that’s enough to collect some dollars. On closer look, though, I’m not really sure about this program, as it doesn’t say much about how folks are going to get paid and such.

If you’ve tried Metacafe before and you have more insights on how to make money from it, I’d love to hear from you. If you have other types of experiences with Metacafe, your feedback is more than welcome too.
