HelpfulVideo.com - Videos For Your Edification

HelpfulVideo, as the name itself proclaims, is the site to go to if you need help of the visual sort. It´s got videos taking you through the steps of replacing your break pads, checking your coolant, and hiding desktop icons. You can choose to charge for your videos, however you will need a PayPal account and a valid email address (the suggested charge per download is .50 cents Canadian). The site has a clean interface and there´s no registration required. Your videos remain your own, provided you´re not stepping over copyright laws. Supported formats include .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG.

“Here you can share your knowledge and skills with others for free or little charge via video clips.”

Helpfulvideo has potential; instructional videos are great learning tools and because it´s the internet, there´s a vast wealth of knowledge that can be shared. While money probably won´t be the main motivating factor, it still offers a way to make some pocket change. Advertisers can use helpfulvideo as an outlet for their product.

Right now the pickings are rather slim; the site´s popularity will be determined by how many submissions there are, if there´s no content, there´s no traffic. Also, how is the site going to earn revenues? There aren´t yet any ads.
