YouTube Monetization
I think this one is pretty cool, and I just recently really looked into it. As a part of my coursework I have been required to make a couple of YouTube Videos. After creating them I figured why not monetize them and see what its all about. You can setup monetization in your YouTube settings. This enables adds that play prior to your video or show up during the video. You can also choose whether or not these adds are skippable. An example of YouTube monetization can be viewed here on my Animoto Video. I also have advertisements on the side of my youtube video page as well.
Below is my YouTube video with YouTube Monetization enabled.
airbnb
This is a pretty cool one that I haven't had the opportunity to use and probably won't, seeings I have roommates. This online money making scheme is based around subletting in a sense. You can list your entire home or even just a room in your home on this site. Whats nice is you can build a reputation for yourself as the renter or the tenant. You get ratings in both directions. I thought this was really cool because it provides an added layer of protection to the renter and the person renting (though nothing is full-proof). Living in Bend, this could come in really handy year round. In the Winter you have the mountain crowd traveling from all over to shred Bachelor. And with prices at around $80.00 dollars for a day pass at Bachelor, saving money on airbnb is a no brainer and could provide some easy extra cash to the person renting out their room. Bend attracts a whole other crowd in the summer to provide the same level of tourism.
Below is an example search for Bend Oregon, in the price range or $10.00-$120.00.
I just stumbled on this one today. This site uses a form crowdfunding. The main difference between this and say, Kickstarter, is that this is more of a fundraising site without obligation. For example, I could try and fundraise for a trip to Trinidad to go see my father. On the site I could post some pictures of myself and post a description of what Im trying to do and why I would like support. At this point I can sit back and hope people connect with what Im trying to do and donate towards my cause of traveling to Trinidad. Though there are categories you have to fall into in order to post a fundraiser, you pretty much just have to want to do something realistic and you can find a way to fit it into a category, and it seems you can get donations rather easy. The do take a cut of the proceeds, but its a small price to pay for doing nothing and having no obligation to repay or fulfill anything.
