Make Money Online with Low-Cost Video Streaming and Blogging Solutions

At the beginning of this year, one of my friends told me she wanted to create video sharing platform to make money with her spare time. She asked for suggestions from me on what types of the platform should be and the profit models. I know she graduated from a famous university and has an IT degree. So, I suggested her choose the familiar subjects on IT, tech, PC or related subjects. Familiar subjects are the basics for making money.

Low-cost Streaming Video Solutions

Aiming at low-cost streaming video solutions, she decided to create a streaming video blog with WordPress at first. As we all know, it's worth spending a few extra dollars to own your content and have a real blog address like http://yourblog.com -- especially if you want to make money.

However, video blogging based on WP is just one type of low-cost video streaming solutions. There are more low-cost streaming video solutions. Some video streaming and sharing solutions can be embedded into web pages with ASP/ASP.net/PHP scripts or Joomla content management system.

Traffic and Content

To create a video sharing platform is easy, while another problem came on its heels--How to attract visitors or bring much traffic? A great deal of traffic is the premise for making money to this video sharing platform. Does the low-cost streaming video solutions can really bring the new visitors?

The answer is YES. My friend wrote some IT news, tech topics, uploaded one video per day and received about 20 visitors per day after two months. It was a frustrated result because she had prepared a lot for this streaming video blog. “Content is king” is what she always kept in mind with. She began to place more videos on this video sharing platform named “view tech world with another eyes”. These videos are about tech or IT opinions, or some cartoon guides. She chose some keywords for each video and frequently uploaded some informative videos, and finally, the traffic started to increase, about 200 visitors a day this July. This is one big step and this August she earned her first money—15 dollars for making and displaying video testimonials for a company on her blog. Though “15 dollars” is not worth mention, it gives her much courage to run video streaming sites.  

Traffic Depends on More Factors

Actually, video is not the only factor for the traffic increase, the other factors are also very important, such as the layout, the color match, user experience and the site promotion. While, what I have to mention is that video really add much to a site.

Streaming video blog is just a case of video sharing platform for personal use. Besides, you need download and install a WP-FLV plug-in to integrate videos to blog. When it comes to a group or enterprise, they may search for some functional, easy but low-cost streaming video solutions. However, no matter you run video sharing sites or streaming video blog, the methods to make money are largely identical.

Can all people who run video sharing sites make money? The answer is No. Only those video sharing platform with a great deal of traffic could bring money. It is well known that except for layout, color match and good user experience, videos need SEO and promotion to bring traffic, such as submitting the site to Google/Yahoo/Bing, submitting videos to YouTube/Dailymotion, optimizing keywords/content/anchor texts, making use of SEO tools etc.

Methods to Make Money Online With Video Streaming Sites

The traffic is the key to make money. Followings have provided some of the methods to make money those people who run video streaming sites:

1. Sell Ads
Advertisements are primary source of income for video streaming sites. The cooperation methods with advertisers are various. For instance, you can provide some of the keywords for the advertisers and they choose the keywords they are interested. When users search for the certain keywords, the Ads will appear. Or, recommend some Ads at the side of related videos or on the first page.

2. Provide Paid Video-On-Demand Services
Some of the unique videos or movies can be provided to users with charges. Users are willing to pay fees for some videos, such as sports event or concerts etc.

3. Affiliate Marketing
Many companies may upload their videos and add the link to their products or services. You can get some of the commissions from the product or service sales especially for those hot videos.

Above has provided some of the methods for video sharing platform to make money. If you prepare to create video sharing platform and want to find the low-cost streaming video solution, you can try to read some guides on low-cost streaming video solutions and promote your videos. You need to wait for seconds and then input your email address, and then you can get this free guide.

The Brief Guide for Choosing Low-budget Server-side Video Encoders to Create Streaming Video Site (2)

In the last part we have made some simple comparisons among three live streaming delivery solutions: FFMpeg, MEncoder and VEE. We will continue more detailed features and comparisons in this part. Let’s take a look at the features of these three streaming video server consoles.

FFMpeg features:

• FFMpeg is a command line tool to provide live streaming delivery solution. It can also grab and encode in real time from a TV card.

• Input frames editable such as text and/or image overlay.

Sothink Video Encoder Engine features (VEE):

• No need to write lots of codec on server side.

• Can overlay watermark image (PNG) as logo on the top of videos for advertising and copyright demand. Also auto-create meaningful thumbnail images.

• The Demo sites integrated with PHP/ASP/ASP.NET are provided for everyone to test before buy.

Next, I will provide more intuitional tables for comparison among these streaming video server consoles. As Tab.2 shows, VEE not only encodes H.263 but also successfully encodes high definition video (1280*720p) with H.264/AVC codec.

Tips: HTTP Pseudo-Streaming allows your viewers to seek to not-yet downloaded parts of a video. YouTube is an example site that offers this functionality.

As the most popular streaming video server consoles, MEncoder and FFMpeg both support most of the formats. While VEE, as the content delivery solution, supports more, including QuickTime video and Real video.   

As shown in Tab.4, MEncoder, FFMpeg and VEE, all these live streaming delivery solutions support these output formats. However, compared with FFMpeg, MEncoder has a variety of capabilities including copying unmodified audio and/or video into the output file.

For video playback, MEncoder and FFMpeg both support customizing players and can play on Desktop. FFMpeg also supports video playback. The most attractive feature is the output videos of VEE can be successfully played on Apple iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3G(s), iPod Touch/Classic. 

HTML5 may bring many benefits to the mobile web. As we all know, iPhone does not support Flash. However, it supports HTML 5. It means that the iPhone users can watch HTML 5 based videos. So, the video streaming sites created with VEE can be successfully viewed with iPhone. 

Conclusion

FFMpeg, MEncoder and Sothink Video Encoder Engine (VEE) are all great live streaming delivery solutions to create streaming video site. But they are suitable for different people at different level of programming and Website development. 

If you are a novice who expects to add video sharing service to your website or create a streaming video site from zero, Sothink Video Encoder Engine (VEE), as one of the streaming video server consoles, sounds to be a great choice for you. Its full content delivery solution, simple parameters, basic demo site, detailed manuals can help anyone start your own video business from low cost and zero risk. 

But if you are quite familiar with online live streaming delivery solution technologies, with multi-years learning and practice experience, and look for zero-cost content delivery solution, FFMpeg and MEncoder are both suitable for you.

Which server-side video encoding solutions are suitable for you, FFMpeg, MEncoder or VEE(1)?

If you’ve ever wanted to create a streaming video site or add a video to server side, then you must have heard of FFMpeg and MEncoder. They are both famous open source projects and easy to get. Anyone can get these scripts at zero cost. However, some webmasters don’t want to be tied to a GPL or LGPL. So they try to find other server-side encoding solutions.

These solutions are called as FFMpeg MEncoder alternatives or adobe flash media server alternatives, and most of these alternatives are commercial projects. I used to join in a video site creation work and have made lots of preparation work. Except for the known FFMpeg and MEncoder, I also searched some commercial projects and YouTube clones. For me, my budget is limited, so I choose affordable top one rank product in Google (the search term is “server-side video converter”). This commercial project is Sothink video encoder engine from SourceTec software. For the request of some friends, I process the experience into an article and make some comparisons of these three projects, which helps those people who want to create streaming video sites or add videos to server side choose the appropriate projects.

Concepts of FFMpeg, MEncoder and VEE


What is FFMpeg?
FFMpeg, one of the prior adobe flash media server alternatives, is a free open source project that produces libraries and programs for handling multimedia data. The most notable parts of FFMpeg are libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by several other projects, libavformat, an audio/video container mux and demux library, and the FFMpeg command line program for transcoding multimedia files. FFMpeg is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1+ or GNU General Public License 2+ (depending on which options are enabled). And now it has been ported for nearly all operating systems, including Linux, cygwin, Windows, and Mac OS X, some versions even have a GUI.

What is MEncoder?
MEncoder is a free command line video decoding, encoding and filtering tool released under the GNU General Public License. It is considered the most popular free adobe flash media server alternative. It is a close sibling to MPlayer and can convert all the formats that MPlayer understands into a variety of compressed and uncompressed formats using different codecs.

What is VEE?
VEE, the full name is Sothink Video Encoder Engine developed by SourceTec software, one of the FFMpeg MEncoder alternative projects. It is an easy server-side video uploading, encoding, and publishing solution, and helps anyone who would like to add video sharing feature into their website or create streaming video site from scratch like YouTube. It is not the free open source, but offers you video encoder program, demo site, PHP/ASP/ASP.NET full script, document guides, SDK and life-time support.

Differences among those Projects


MEncoder, FFmpeg and VEE (Sothink Video Encoder Engine) are all command-line tools to convert one video file format to another and installed on your Windows servers. But VEE is much more different, because it is not only command-line streaming video site creation tool, but also provides the whole video sites creation solution with demo site, source code, manuals, parameter SDK included. This solution which is provided by SourceTec Software (www.sothinkmedia.com) has been successfully installed and run on over 300 Websites.

Both MEncoder and FFMpeg are developed as adobe flash media server alternatives by worldwide programmers as a part time job. Sharing the same library and upgrade fast, these two free open source applications always keep strong and advanced. However, those two powerful video encoding script are quite complicated, due to a wide range of parameters and lack of tutorials to help users, especially hard to the entry-level programmers and webmaster to start. Since there is no demo site or continuous technique support, the beginners have to complete the whole environment configuration, video encoding, Website building and more, all by themselves. It is the key point to limit the popularity and usage of both flash media server alternative projects.

The most attractive feature of MEncoder and FFMpeg is that they are open sources, can be used freely by anyone and developers, while the shortcomings are also obvious as said above. However, as the most competitive FFMpeg MEncoder alternative and adobe flash media server alternative, Sothink Video Encoder Engine, it comes with Windows version which supports the most popular environment, like Windows 2008/2003/2000 Server. It is $689 (USD) for sale, one-time payment including the fee for server-side video converter program, the player license, and also the full source code, SDK and manuals, but free installation guide and life-time technical support.

Is HTML 5 Ready?
Another big difference is that only Sothink Video Encoder Engine supports converting videos on server side to MP4/F4V format, encoded by H.264/AVC, with HTML 5 video tag supported and HTML 5 video player offered. Therefore, all videos converted by this FFMpeg MEncoder alternative can be compatible with the most popular browsers, and the most importantly, compatible with hot portable devices like Apple iPod, iPad, iPhone and Andorid Phones. View the follow chart.

Since the detailed needs for creating streaming video site are changed all the time, more webmasters are searching for other FFMpeg MEncoder alternatives since MEncoder or FFmpeg never offers ready-made solution for newly video sharing needs, like iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch compatibility.
As the number of people who surf the net with iPad and mobiles increases rapidly, video sharing sites needs to keep magnetic by Apple iOS and HTML 5 support. The new upgraded Sothink Video Encoder Engine just can batch convert all popular formats of video into iPad/iPhone/iPod MP4, H.264/AVC HD MP4, F4V and common web video format FLV.

Through the pre-set encoding profiles, webmasters needn’t worry about their video content’s compatibility with Apple iOS, Android, or any popular devices. And the JWPlayer used in Sothink video sharing solution makes the videos viewable via “video” tab on HTML 5 supported platform. Combining the effective video encoder, powerful video editing functions and full source code assistant, Sothink Video Encoder Engine releases all users from the most different and crucial script part and make everyone can create streaming video site like YouTube.

As shown in Tab.1, FFMpeg and MEncoder are equipped with most of functions. If you are acquainted with video streaming technologies or want to save budget, these two projects are your best choices.

If you have the correct mplayer/MEncoder binary, you will get support for many more codecs than the FFMpeg supports. Maybe this is one of reasons that MEncoder are more wildly used. However, if you are not satisfied with these functions of these projects, you can choose commercial FFMpeg MEncoder alternatives.

You can realize much more differences among these adobe flash media server alternatives in the part two article.

Rip DVD to iTunes 10.5 Format and Sync With Your Apple Products

Apple quietly announced the release of iTunes 10.5 on Tuesday. The feature added to this version of iTunes is the capability to sync iOS devices via Wi-Fi. In other words, this feature enables content synchronizing between an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using a Wi-Fi connection. This is a big step in a sense, while, the expectation for supporting DVD formats fails again. As always, iTunes 10.5 only rips CDs rather than DVDs, which more or less leaves some regrets to DVD fans.

I believe it is a piece of cake for Apple to enhance this function to transfer DVD to iTunes format. Apple explains that DVD and Blu-ray purchases may include an iTunes Digital Copy. However, Apple wants to encourage people to download films and videos from the iTunes store. Maybe this is a most important reason for iTunes not supporting ripping DVD. At the same time I don’t see why I shouldn’t copy my DVD which I have paid for to my iPad. Here I will share the method to transfer DVD to iTunes format.

There are many methods to transfer DVD to iTunes. The third party application--DVD ripping software is a must to transfer DVD to iTunes format. Many DVD ripper applications for transferring DVD to iTunes format can be found over the internet. Users can compare the price, the ripping speed, the stability and the output quality and so on to choose the most appropriate DVD to iTunes video software. Someone may recommend free DVD ripping software, but to my experience (I have a Windows laptop myself and I have tested), the current free DVD ripping software is hard to handle. I choose Sothink DVD ripper to rip DVD to iTunes 10.5 for the clearer picture quality and high speed.

First, install DVD to iTunes app and load DVD. Then the most important step is to select the output video format. As we all know, iTunes 10.5 supports the following video formats: MOV, MP4, M4V, MPEG, AVI, 3GPP, 3GPP2 etc. You can choose MP4 format (for smooth synchronization between iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Apple TV, MP4 is a best format), and set the desired video and audio quality.

However, this DVD to iTunes video software enables you to edit the DVD before ripping, such as trimming DVD, cropping DVD, adjusting effect (bright, contrast and saturation) and adding watermark.

When all settings are done, click “Rip DVD” button. Just wait for minutes, the transferred MP4 format will be done. Then you can easily enjoy the videos on iPad, iPhone, iPod touch via iTunes 10.5.   

You see? It is quite simple to rip DVD to iTunes video. Though some format limitations, we can still watch commercial DVD movies via iTunes with an assistant to copy DVD to iTunes. This will really be a gem to enjoy DVD movies for the synchronization between iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and Apple TV.

Free to Burn DVD for Any DVD Player to Enhance Home Theatre Entertainment

DVD players provide high-quality audio and video connections for amazingly crisp, clear images and surround sound. When referring to DVD players, some brands may jump into our mind, such as Sony, Philips, Pioneer, Toshiba and so on. The top three popular DVD players of 2011 in Amazon are Sony DVP-SR200P/B DVD player, Sony DVP-SR500H 1080p Upscaling DVD player and Philips DVP3560/F7 DVD Player with 1080p HDMI Upscaling and Multimedia DiVX. They all receive high ratings for their reliable quality and reasonable price.

Generally speaking, most of DVD players support CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+- R/RW, MP3, WMA, JPEG. You might buy the burnt DVD discs on the market. Actually, you can burn DVD for DVD players, which gives you the same great picture and sound quality while expanding your entertainment options and saving money. I will share my free DVD burning process for references. The burnt videos can be smoothly played on any DVD players. 

Tips: For clearer pictures, you’d better choose the source videos with high resolutions, such as 1280*720.

Step 1. Import Videos to Program

Needless to say, the installation is a must before any operations. I use Sothink movie DVD maker and it is free to burn DVD. After the installation, launch the program and import the video files. You can add multiple files at one time to this free DVD burning software.

Tips: You might need some settings after adding files. Choose the DVD size in the “Setting” option, and you can click “Advanced” button for more settings. In fact, this free DVD burning software has made the advanced settings. Thus, you can skip the advanced settings.

Step 2. Create DVD Menu

Being different from other similar programs, this software not only allows you to burn DVD free but also provides lots of built-in stylish DVD menu templates. Click “DVD Menu” settings at the right panel of the program. Then hit the down arrow of the “Templates” to select your favorite menu templates.

Tips: Trimming videos is a better choice for those long videos, which will save the DVD burning time. Just select the video, and click “Edit->Trim…”.

Step 3. Convert and Burn

Make sure you have inserted DVD disc before free DVD burning. Choose the videos you wish to convert/burn, and click “Burn” button to start the video conversion and free DVD burning. When the video conversion and DVD menu creation are completed, it pops up a dialog and starts burning the generated video files to disc.

Just wait for a moment during the DVD burning process. When all conversion and burning process are done, you can insert the discs into the DVD players for watching. You can choose the videos you want to play with the remote controller.

Tips: Different DVD player may have some differences in picture quality. You’d better do some comparison before purchase. 

More useful suggestions to share:

1.      Compare DVD burning software tools before purchase. Download top rank software over internet, such as CNET. Some free DVD burning software has enough capacity to meet the home entertainment requirements.

2.      Be sure not to occupy more CPU during the DVD burning process, for instance, not browsing websites, playing games etc.

3.      You can add your own pictures as the menu background images to Sothink free movie DVD maker. 

It is easier than you think to burn DVD for DVD player if you have found a capable assistant (such as a fast and functional free DVD burning software). Only 3 steps, you can burn your own DVD discs, the burnt DVD can also be smoothly played in your car DVD player. Some other similar products may also help you burn DVD; while if you can do all that without wasting much more money, why bother?
