How would you like the idea of making 500 USD and above just for posting videos from YouTube, MetaCafe, MySpace…. on your blog or website? To clarify the title, I’m referring to blogs which are entirely made up of videos taken from other sources such as YouTube or MetaCafe.
On the contrary, a simple blog that regurgitates online videos from other websites can still make you a tidy sum of money through contextual-based advertising like Google Adsense. Advantage here is you don’t spend much time thinking about the content. Here’s why I like video blogs:
Easy to create and maintain. Nothing can be easier than plugging in some embedded code from a video website like YouTube. Updating the blog will take probably take less than an hour a day.
Videos are social media friendly. Videos can go viral very easily and are extremely easy to promote through social websites. So the mane source of visitors for a video blog would be from social networks, rather than search engines. Video blogs are fun!. Let’s not forget the possible fun factor behind this money-making exercise. Videos are very light on the mind and generally stress-free. You don’t have to write a good article, check your copy and constantly think of blog post ideas. Mark Cook and DoshDosh have a great guide for making money through video bloging, il just out line some points and for detailed guide I suggest you to read through their post.
Sign up for Google Adsense. This is the first step to take if you’re not already an Adsense publisher. If you don’t have one you may get one at AdSense

Settingup WordPress on your domain should be prety simple, some host do it for you if not you will find good tutorials if you search with Google.
Choose a WordPress theme and brand it with your logo.
Install various video plugins for Wordpress. These help to speed up the process of uploading videos on your blog.
Search optimize your theme. Several manual methods were listed in the section but I would suggest using SEO plugins, one of which is the very essential SEO Title Tag plugin.
Set up your Adsense units for maximal click through benefits. The easiest way to do this is to use Adsense Ready Themes with already optimized ad placement. A little tweaking will be needed but it saves you a lot of time.
Source for video content. You can either repost videos or download videos and rebrand them with your site logo and URL.
For building traffic:
Burn your feed with FeedBurner. This is the first step towards building up defensive traffic through a feed subscriber base.
Create an account with linkreferral.
Get an account with MyBlogLog
Promote your blog with StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is really useful in driving traffic to any site.
Build Links to your blog. Mark only suggests RSS or blog directories and I would suggest linking to the blog from a variety of other places as well: Other sites you own, forum signatures, social bookmarking sites etc. The basic strategy is to drive traffic from social websites like StumbleUpon, YouTube and Reddit to the blog, whereby you’ll monetize the visitors through effective Adsense placement. Organic search traffic is not a primary emphasis here.
