Online video is hotter than ever, and as you know, YouTube isn’t the only player in the game. I haven’t been very active with recording and distributing video, but I keep telling myself that that’s going to change soon. Video provides a great way to express yourself, and plenty of people are using it to reach out to a worldwide audience on the Internet. Sometimes we just think about online video being a series of short clips recorded by obvious amateurs, but the truth is that many of these so-called amateurs are developing regular shows that thousands of people are tuning into. If you want to be a part of this phenomenon, then check out blip.tv.

You may be able to create a great show, but you need somewhere to share it with people, and blip.tv is your resource for this. Not only do they host your content for free, but they can also distribute it in a variety of ways to ensure that a wide range of people have access to it. In addition to that, they’ve also integrated an advertising marketplace that will help you to make money from your work. Money? Yes, please.
