Publish videos and get paid

June 4, 2007 |

Check out TheNewsRoom.com. Bloggers are paid to post relevant news videos on their blog and get paid in the process.

Publishing content from the big boys has long been a subject of controversy, many bloggers have been zapped for copyright infringement or other “public use” legalities for doing just that. Now people at The News Room are ready to actually pay you to use their content.

Present videos from Associated Press, Reuters and ABC news on your blog. You’ll even be able to MASH-UP the clips and get paid for doing so. Bloggers can even get paid when their mashed content is viewed from somebody else’s site (as videos tend to get posted and reposted).

How/When/Why do you get paid?

	CPM When Viewed on Your Site	CPM When Viewed On Referred Site
Video Feed	$4.00	$1.00
Video Story	$3.00	$0.50
Text Story	$1.00	$0.50
Image	$1.00	$0.50

From the horse’s mouth

I signed up for NewsRoom almost immediately after hearing about it just so I could tell you firsthand about the service.

The first thing I can tell you is that the video below was embedded with great ease. I chose from a wealth of timely and relevant videos (I couldn’t resist Paris but you get the idea) and simply copy and pasted a little code snippet into my blog post and voila! In addition to Mashing for Cash, registrants of TheNewsRoom can earn prizes from digital cameras to a new car as part of the loyalty program.

But wheres the catch?

Alright, you know they none of these services simply give you the money. So how does it work? TheNewsRoom.com places advertising into the content they feed to your blog. Just like any other blogging for cash service, you are serving up ad content. Its a simple equation, do the advertising work for the company and they pay you gobs of cash.

It is free to both register and post content on your site. So if you are on the look out for brand new content and want to make money online, TheNewsRoom is win win.
