Revenue sharing is from banner ads. Each video view earns $0.0001. Site automatically generates a link for each video you can post on your website, blog or e-mails. The minimum payout is $20 and is through Paypal.
Pros:
- Quick, easy and free to sign up.
- Easy to use. Video tutorial will have you posting videos in minutes
- Millions of MySpace and YouTube videos to choose from.
- Documentation is sparse, but it appears you get 100 percent of Adsense views.
- Refer a user and get 10 percent of their page views.
- Fast. Posting a video and writing a description to go with can be done in under three minutes.
- Link to your website or blog posted with each video
- Very low traffic site. Most of the videos only average about 10 views.
- Bare bones site. Launched in January 2007, it does not appear to have been updated since. The contact us link is still under construction.
- Low payment. If you don't have an Adsense account, Share-A-Flick is a waste of time. It would take 200,000 views to earn your first $20.
- The same annoying pop-under ad appears every time you access the site. Trying to close it brings up another dialog box.
- The most recent 25 post are listed when users go to the viewing area. Post a couple of times a day to keep at least one of your videos visible on the main page.
- Write a full description with lots keywords in the description box. This might increase the likelihood of the search engines indexing your posts.
Conclusion:
If a video clip is relevant to your website or blog then there is absolutely no reason to put it on Share-A-Flick and then link to it. However, there are millions of videos that might not be a good fit for your site but could still draw lots of users. Putting them on Share-A-Flick instead might generate some additional revenue. Overall though, If you are looking for a way to generate money with YouTube videos I'd recommend investing your time in Flixya.com, a much more developed and trafficked video sharing site.
