I am setting up things, and I have several hundred vids to make (hopefully) money on. They are educational in nature, and they CAN stand alone and be useful, but they work best in a context (inserted in text 'be sure to replace the tires' -insert tire replacement demo vid here-)
I am building my own website currently, and am considering a paywall.
A YouTube channel alone does not allow for the text and links I feel would make the best use of my content, and is limiting in its scope. A website that is video heavy requires a lot of server capacity and possible expense. I am looking at using YouTube to host the vids, and then embedding them in my site. It allows for revenue from my channel (if a viewer was inclined to watch them this way) as well as from my site.
The questions are:
-Is there something I am missing here? I see some complaining of embedded video suppression for example.
-is it possible to integrate validation of a paid channel client through another site? (Pay on my site and get access to my paid channel on YouTube - or at least my paid vids that are embedded will still play)
-I am looking at increasing ad revenue by essentially doubling the number of ads per video as they are bannered on you tube and also on my site - is that a no no? - I know that a view on the embed does not create impressions on the unseen channel ads
-should I consider several channels that are all extremely specific to allow for better SEO and to allow for better cross promotion? (ie - instead of one about car repair do several, one about tires, another about spark plugs, another about brakes.)
-if I just wanna start and explore, how easy is it to divide a channel and it's content up into multiple channels?
-I have looked at Vimeo and Brightcove, but the initial costs (or lack thereof) has me looking at YouTube. Any comments on that
Thanks a lot for the input in advance!!
