Do you know of any free video streaming sites?

I know there is youtube and others but I am after some kind of streaming where you embed the video on your site, get people to sign up on your site for the video service and then upload user created content to your own website but on the video streaming services site.

Also is there a way you can embed paid adverts into your videos?

The idea is for some kind of free video streaming utility for your own site where you own all the content and not the video site? So you can resale the site and make profit only yourself

Is there anything like that for free or for a one off payment?

Many thanks in advance

People wont pay you to host their videos, youtube does it for them. People can have their own pages/channels on it. Stop trying to make money on the internet, you suck at it.

Isn't what you're describing exactly the same as uploading a video to youtube and then embedding that video in your own site - ie something you can already do?

If you're keen to make money on the internet, here's an idea. I know of a paypal account that has some sort of error going on with it. You put money in it and then thirty days later it refunds it but for some reason refunds double the amount. All you need to do is pay however much you want in to the paypal account and wait 30 days. Email in sig if you're interested.

I don't want people to pay me to host their videos, I am very well aware of youtube do that for free.

I know that you can already upload a video to youtube and then place that video on your site. But I don't think your allowed to make money off that video as then youtube would be losing out. i.e my idea is to embed TV adverts into the uploaded video. This way advertiser companies would pay me for every time the video was watched by someone. So this is why I hoped their is a free streaming service where you own the copyright so that you can take all profit from the video with the embedded ad rather than paying say google (youtube) because your hosting the videos on their server.

Why not host the videos yourself? If not, embed youtube videos then put the ads on the same page. It wont work though.

because it doesn't work like that. if you to embed tv adverts on your videos you have to pay the companies you are advertising for the adverts they provide.

What would be the point in advertisements then? If you have to pay for the adverts?

whoosh.

mammalian posts this nonsense because dvdbunny is so stupid, he believes it.

(ok maybe not believe it completely but is daft enough to consider it a possibility....

)

It was always my understanding that companies pay you to advertise their ads in your videos not the other way round as someone posted on the thread. Which is why I changed my view and said that how much do game trailers pay the company to display ads.

So now my idea is possible then? How much do these companies pay game trailers for each advert watched?
