Damn… I blinked, and video took over the Internet!

There’s YouTube, Google Video, OurMedia, and a growing number of video aggregators.

Most of these sites are geared towards funny/amusing/cool/stupid stuff. But there are some ways you can profit from the revolution.

1) First find out what people want. ViewDo has a Request a ViewDo forum where you’ll find topics that people want to see on video. The Guitar Tapping thread currently has 600+ views. Ideas for any guitar players???

There’s also VideoJug.com for judging idea popularity.

We’re soon going to be adding a shih tzu to our little family. So I recently found PetVideo.com.

They will tell you how many times a specific video has been viewed. This is also an easy way to see what people want.

Be sure to read the comments for each video. Very valuable feedback when creating your own.

2) Make the video. Bill Myers’ site offers great tips for inexpensively creating videos.

3) Sell the video. Promote it on your web site or on eBay as a DVD, or stream directly from the Internet.

You might also want to try LearnOutLoud.com.

You upload your video here… they sell it… and you earn a 60% commission on each sale.

I get the lazy bug from time-to-time, so I like it when someone else does the work for me, and just sends me a check!

Dust off your video camera and grow rich,

I don’t pull any punches when it comes to writing e-books.

I park my buns where there’s a demand and a few thousand credit card wielding customers.

So when I saw the following call for authors, I thought it might be of use to many of you.

The site is EscapeArtist.com.

It’s geared towards people who want to live in various parts of the world – defined as ‘expat’ or expatriates. (I’m a part-time expat, by the way.)

They have a hungry audience of 375,000 subscribers. And they’re looking for e-book authors who can write on the following topics – (amongst others):

* Relocating to a new nation 
* Opening a business in overseas
* Ways to make money overseas
* Unusual ways to make a living on the internet or by telecommuting
* International Real Estate
* Unusual lifestyles in unusual locations
* Any subject that is unique and internationally applicable

This is a great way to earn some passive income while waiting for your million dollar pay day.

Target world travelers and get rich,
