The quickest and easy way to use TVS to make money is to use other people’s videos. What we’re going to cover in this section are different ways to locate videos online that you can use. By using, I mean submitting to either Google Video or YouTube and then taking the code they give you and registering the video with TVS.
One of the easiest ways to find new videos is to use a file sharing program. A file sharing program is a program that people use to upload files to hundreds of other people at the same time. An example that many people may recognize is Kazaa.
File sharing programs are usually easy to use, and provide an easy way to locate videos; however, they do have their risks. The most common being, that you may download a video clip and not get what you expected. In most cases, when this happens, instead of a funny video clip of diet coke and menthos, you may get an x rated video. Please remember that The Video Sense has a no tolerance policy on adult content.
Another risk of using file sharing programs is that they often install what’s called spyware. Spyware usually doesn’t do any harm to your computer, it simply reports back what websites you visit and tracks other activities that you do on your computer. It then takes that information and sends it back to its owner. Usually, in the fine print when you installed this software, you’ve given them permission to do this. So be aware, and pay attention to what you are agreeing to when installing some of these programs.
Here is a link that will display a page describing the various file sharing programs out there, and their pros and cons.
eDonkey is probably your best bet for a safe and reliable way to search for videos. You will still run into cases where people have named an x rated video incorrectly, but you don’t have to worry about spyware.
Some other great sources of videos are your friends and family. Often times they will take videos of the oddest things or even the most common things. All of these videos can be used to your benefit. So be sure to ask around!
Finally, we can resort to using the search engines to locate new videos. Typing in queries like: [download funny videos avi] without brackets will often locate sites that store videos that you are allowed to download and use. Be inventive when it comes to looking for videos. We’ll cover later using another tool that can help locate topics for videos you may not have thought of.
