Make room for another video sharing site, eefoof.com. This site is different from market leader YouTube because it compensates the content creators that share media on their site. Every month, the company calculates the total page views for each submission. The user receives a certain percentage of ad revenue based on the total page views for the entire site. Once you've made at least $25 the company sends you a PayPal payment. Sounds like a good idea which is what eefoof.com hopes will steer people toward its site instead of more than 150 other options currently out there. This should prove interesting if it works but many video sharing sites are still trying to turn a profit. Just another outlet for the budding filmmaker to share his or her work, only this time the effort will hopefully pay dividends.Don't forget to check out our reviews of the top ten video sharing services.
1. Bob Young of Red Hat fame has started another site that compensates video uploaders at http://www.lulu.tv. There is a write up and I interviewed one of the guys who runs it over at my blog:
