Create a Profitable Video Sharing Website
If you have studied the success of Youtube, Metacafe, and others enviously there is no reasons why you can’t create your own video sharing website. You should eventually be able to make some money in return from advertising depending on how well your promote your site. Here are key steps to take to get your video site off the ground
1. Choose a niche for your video site. This will help in gaining some leverage initially in the search engines, and differentiate it from the very popular and well established sites such as YouTube and Google Video. A niche might comic or funny video’s, internet marketing, howto’s and tutorials or a particularly type of cooking.
2. You’ll need a good snappy domain name. Head over to one of the big registrars and see whats available. There are different approaches to choosing a domain. One way would be to include the keywords from your niche, such as “cooking videos.” Another is to pick a snappy, zany name that help the site go viral.
3. Choose a web host. You should consider a dedicated server as the load with video sharing websites is greater. However shared hosting or even a VPS or virtual private server should be ok to test your site, until you are getting decent traffic.
4. Normal web hosting may not meet your requirements for running video site hosting. For instance you will need to check that web host has installed a software utility called ffmpeg. FFmpeg is popular software that converts video in various formats, on the fly to .flv format (or any other video format).
5. You visitors will want to upload their video’s. These will be in different formats. If you have used YouTube you will know that they encode your uploaded video’s into a flash format (.flv files). This requires specialist modules to be installed in your hosting account or dedicated server. These are ffmeg, ffmpeg-php, libogg
