Welcome to
The TV24x7 Ad Revenue Sharing,
with Google Adsense!
You are here for
one of two
reasons. The first is that you’re an
experienced
Adsense publisher and want to add
another tool to
your toolbox. The other is that
you’re completely
new to Adsense and want to make
some extra money
from it. Keeping that in mind,
this guide is
geared more towards the second group
of people but is
still useful to the first.
Chapters 5-6
cover advanced topics. They are not
required in
order to begin earning.
So don’t worry
if,
for the time
being, they are beyond your
capabilities.
So, let’s get started!

Chapter 1: What is The TV24x7 Ad Revenue Sharing and
how can I use it
to make money?
So, what is this
idea of viral videos all about?
Well here over
the last year, websites promoting
free videos have
exploded in popularity. Places
like YouTube and
Google Video are the ones that
most people may
recognize. Well, what The TV24x7 Ad Revenue Sharing does is provide
a way for
you, as an
Adsense publisher, to make money from
these videos
that people are drawn to.
Before we go any
further, in case you don’t know
what Adsense is,
let me explain it briefly to you.
Adsense is an
advertising method that businesses
can use to
display relevant ads on websites that do
not belong to
Google. Google charges these
businesses so
much each time a visitor clicks on an
ad. In turn, Google
passes a certain percentage of
what they charge
on to you, since it was your site
hosting the ad.
Think of it as renting a bulletin
board on your
land next to the freeway or renting a
spot for their
flyer in your store window. Then
each month, as
long as your account has earned at
least $100,
Google will mail you a check for what
they owe you.
You also have the option of direct
deposit in most
countries. To read all of the
details please
go here.
Well how does
this relate to
TV24x7
Ad Revenue Sharing? Well, TV24x7 displays videos and around those videos they
also display
those Adsense ads. Now how this works,
is that you
upload videos to TV24x7. Then, when your
video is
displayed, your Adsense id is used, for
the ads that are
displayed. Keep in mind that for
videos that you
submit, your id is only used 50% of
the time. The
other 50% is the owner’s id. Now
don’t worry, you
don’t have to be an expert at
making videos,
or even have your own videos to make
money this way. Later on we’ll cover finding videos online that you can use, and simple ways to make
your own.
Chapter 2: What do I need before I can
get started with
The TV24x7 Ad Revenue Sharing ?
Before we can
jump right in to earning cash through
videos, there are
a few things we need to get out
of the way. They
are a Google Adsense account and a TV24x7 account . We’ll be providing
detailed
instructions for each below. If you have
any of these
already, please skip that section, as
you only need
one account at each place.
Creating a
Google Adsense account.
Ok, so let’s
start with getting you an Adsense
account. This is
the tough one out of them to get. It will take about a week, with daily
homework thrown
in.
Step 1: Start
your own blog at Blogger . Just follow
the 3 easy steps
they give you.
Step 2: You will
need to write a blog entry once a
day for the next
week. What you write about is your
choice. It can
be about a recent trip you took,
your daily life
or just something interesting you
heard that day.
Step 3: After
you’ve posted for about a week, visit
this link and follow the
instructions on that page
to register for
your account.

leave off the ca- at the
beginning, as
it’s not needed.

That’s it for
your main TV24x7 account.
Chapter 3:
Finding freely available
videos to
submit.
The quickest and
easy way to use TV24X7 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.
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 eMule.
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 TV24x7
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.
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.
Chapter 4:
Uploading your videos to your TV24x7 account.
Step 1: Go to http://video.tv24x7.net/
and
login.
Step 2: Click
the Upload Video link in the account menu.
Step 3: Enter
the title for the video. Using a
descriptive
title is a must.
Step 4: : Enter
a description of the video in the
“Description”
box. Remember to describe the video
in detail. This
content will be what’s used to get Search Engine traffic to your videos.
Step 5: Enter a list
of keywords for the video
separated by
spaces into the “Tags” field
Step 6: . Pick a
category for your video to go in to.
Step 7. Pick
your video to appear public
Step 8: Click
Submit
Step 9: Browse
your hardisk and select the video to upload. Click Upload. Wait for the upload
process to finish.
Repeat steps 2 –
9 for each video that you need to upload.
That’s all there
was to added the videos to your
account at
TV24X7.
Chapter 5:
Making your own videos.
Making your own
videos tends to fall into that
advanced
category. While you may think it’s hard,
there are a
couple of options you can use for
making your own
videos, that really aren’t that
difficult.
The first
example I’m going to give you is probably
the easiest. If
you happen to have a cell phone
with a built in
camera, you can use that to create
your videos.
More often than not, the quality is
sufficient for
internet video. Home videos are not
expected to be
of Hollywood caliber after all!
Depending upon
your phone, you may need a memory
card reader or
an extra cable in order to get the
videos from the
phone to your computer. Refer to
your owner’s
manual to find the detailed steps for
that process.
If you happen to
own a digital camcorder you
probably already
know how to transfer the video to
your computer.
Some cameras will require that your
computer have
some additional hardware before it’s
possible. The
only way to know though is to check
your camcorders
owners’ manual.
Once you’ve
gotten the video files transferred to
your computer
you may need to do some video
editing. In most
cases any videos from your cell
phone will
already be pretty short and won’t need
any editing.
However, if you do find yourself
wanting to
become the next Spielberg and you’re a
Windows user,
then you’re in luck. Windows XP
already comes
with video editing software called
Windows Movie
Maker. For our purposes, I wouldn’t
worry too much
about making the video perfect. If
anything, I
would simply trim out any unnecessary
pieces to make
it smaller. Also, make sure that
after editing
you save the video in AVI format,
since it’s
generally smaller in size.
Chapter 6: How
to promote your videos.
This chapter is
going to go into some pretty
advanced stuff.
What we’re going to talk about are
ways to promote
your videos. Promoting your videos,
will increase
their exposure and should increase
your earnings.
The first method
involves leaving comments on other
people’s blogs.
What you generally want to do, is
to find a blog
that relates to the topic of your
video. Then read
over the latest post, or if it’s a
single post
relating to your topic, read that post.
At the bottom of
each post there’s usually a place
to leave a
comment. You want to leave a relevant
comment on the
post and find a way to relate the
post to your
video. Once you’ve found a way to
relate the two,
you want to make sure to leave a
link to the
video, so that others can click through
to watch it. Do
this for as many blogs as you can
find that relate
to the video. The more recent the
post, the better
it will be for having active
traffic to
follow your links.
Here are a few
queries that you can run in Google
to find blogs
relating to your video. Replace
KEYWORD with the
topic of your video. If there’s
any spaces in
the keyword be sure to replaces those
with a + sign.

You should be
able to find quite a few posts and
blogs relating
to your topic, using those links
above.
Next, we’re
going to move on to actually creating a
few sites to try
and boost the rankings of your
video in the
search engines. Now, this may be
beyond the
skills some of you may have. If it is,
don’t worry,
it’s not required to be able to earn
with TV24X7, but
your earnings may not be as high.
What this method
involves, is using about 4
different free
website provides to build web pages
that link to
your video(s).
Here are four
places where you can obtain a free
webpage.
1. http://www.googlepages.com
–
You should be
able to use the
same login and password from
creating your
Google adsense account.
2. http://www.lycos.com
3. http://www.blogger.com
When you’re
registering your web page at these
places, try to
give it a catch name. Something like
extreme-videos
or funny-videos. You want it to
attract
attention to what the site is about.
Once you’ve got
the web pages registered you’ll
want to place 1
link on each of them. This link
will need to
link to the next site in the list. So
for example,
Site 1 will link to Site 2. Site 2
will link to
Site 3. Finally,Site 3 will link to Site 1.
Now, with the
pages from Googlepages, or
Lycos, you’ll
want to place the embed code from
your TV24X7
account directly on the web page. Each of
those companies
has a web based interface for
editing the web
page. What you’ll need to do is
copy the embed
code from TV24X7 and paste it in to
that interface.
This will place the video and a
link back to
your TV24X7 video page. Now since,
these are single
pages, unless you want to have one
page with tons
of videos on them, you will need to
create a new
page for each video. This may entail
creating new
accounts at each place as well.
For the Blogger
accounts, you can create posts and
put the
different embed code into each post. This
is of course, if
your blog is generic enough to
fall under a
broad category. Something as broad as
funny videos would
work. That way, each time you
find or make a
video, you can submit a post to your
new blog about
the video. You can provide a link to it on
TV24X7. Now, if
you only want one blog page per
video, Blogger
allows you to have multiple blogs
under each
account. Just go to your Dashboard and
choose Add Blog.
Those are the
two basic ways to promote your
videos. The
first method is to get people to your
videos directly.
The second method was to get your
videos to rank
well in the search engines, so as
people are
searching they may find them.
The last method
that I will mention is to also get
people to your
videos. If you happen to have a
MySpace account,
you can post a daily entry to your
newly posted video.
What should happen (if you’re
popular or the
video is good) is that your friends
will see the new
post and follow the link. If the
video is funny,
or interesting they will hopefully
pass it on to
all of their friends as well.
