How to capitalize on your live streams
The technology involved in streaming live video over the Internet
has grown over the past few years. The traditional sources of revenue include
the use of strategically placed ads.
There are several sources for a publisher to generate this revenue. The first and most popular would be Google AdSense. As far as pay
per click revenue is concerned Google offers a large catalog of advertisers
that cater to every interest available.
Another ad revenue sight that caters to web publishers is Link share and
Commission junction. I have used both of
these companies. They differ slightly
from AdSense, but still offer web publishers a variety of affiliate networks
that allow for the inclusion of commission revenue.
Once you have applied to one of the ad publisher accounts,
it is time to include their source code on your webpage.
Example of a source
code for one of my advertisers Soda Stream below.
These links allow everyone who logs onto your website to
view your video content to see the banners created by your advertisers. There is a call to action for the revenue to
generate. Most of these ads require the web viewer to click on these links. The clicks are recorded wich enables the advertisers to reimburse the webmaster or owner of the webpage for the advertising lead generated by the click.
Ok so now you have your webpage designed your stream feed embedded,
but nobody knows your site exists. This is
when you promote your site. The most popular way to do this is by utilizing SEO’s
or search engine optimization. This is a sure fire way to generate more hits to
your website. Put your website at the top of the search lists on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and all the other search
engines.
