So you want to use web video to make money online.\u00a0 But what’s the best way to do this?\u00a0 Attempt to create viral videos to drive traffic to your site?\u00a0 Target specific keywords with your videos and upload them to sharing sites?\u00a0 Create entertaining videos and draw a large audience, where you become advertiser supported?<\/p>\n

All of those methods can work…but one of the most tried and true ways is to provide educational videos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These can range anywhere from videos that demonstrate how to use software…to videos that demonstrate subjects\u00a0which are often hard to understand\u00a0in words or print.\u00a0 And the application of educational videos can be endless.<\/p>\n

Take for example a recently released site called Brightstorm<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Backed by $6 million dollars in funding, this site offers video tutorials on high-school level subjects.\u00a0 Or in other words, it’s a video based “virtual tutor” site for high-school students.\u00a0 You browse for a subject, pick a video course, buy it for $49 and get instant-access to it for a year.<\/p>\n

But Brightstorm isn’t the only player out there.\u00a0 More and more sites like these are popping up…teaching everything from SAT preparation to robotics.\u00a0 And people like them.\u00a0 A lot.<\/p>\n

How much do they like them and how much money can you make with educational videos?\u00a0 Well, just to give you an idea of popularity and revenue, let’s take a look at a Korean web site known as “Megastudy”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This site offers over 2,000 video courses for Korean students, designed to help them “cram” for tests.\u00a0 The company behind the site expects revenues of $65 million dollars this year.\u00a0 And a nice percentage of that money (up to 23%) is shared with the teachers who help produce the videos.\u00a0 In fact, one\u00a0English teacher earned $2 million dollars\u00a0last year alone.<\/p>\n

Not bad for putting together a few hours worth of video instruction\u00a0on a topic you know inside and out, huh?<\/p>\n

So my advice for people who are looking to get into some type of business featuring web video is to focus on educational content.\u00a0 Only a small piece of the pie has been eaten at this point…and there’s still enormous opportunity out there.<\/p>\n

Plus, remember with web video there are no rules.\u00a0 Any idea you have can be turned into any type of video product…just because it hasn’t been done, don’t think that you can’t do it.<\/p>\n
