Monetization methods for video websites

AdVideos

Just like Google AdWords being displayed at top or right of the regular search results, your AdVideos can also appear next to the research results. To an advertiser, this is a good way to promote your video and thus your business.

Text Ad at the bottom of a video

Just like traditional TV advertisement, an advertiser can display text advertisement at the bottom of a video. The text advertisement must be highly relevant to the content of the video that is being watched.

Existent solutions can work in similar new areas sometimes.

My entrepreneurial ideas--Open Research Platform

While Wikipedia is a platform for collaborative writing, Open Research Platform(ORP) is a platform for collaborative research.

ORP is composed of an increasing number of research projects. A project has one creator, one goal, and unlimited participants or researchers.

An entry of a research project includes creator, creation time, title, goal, significance, background, current research achievement and main part.

The main part is somewhat like a thread on an online forum in its simplest form. Participant can propose a statement, argue or defend a statement by providing convincing argumentation or proofs. The entire process of research to reach the common goal is an intellectual relay. The research process is done collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. It is to draw on collective wisdom and absorb all useful ideas. It is to put heads together so as to get better results.
