Revver is a web 2.0 company, which provides it’s members a possibility to earn money by uploading videos. Members will be payed, if someone clicks the ad at the end of their video. Company has planned to add ads at the beginning of the video too, so the member would receive money also, if someone just watches the video. However I have not seen this feature with my own videos yet. Paying is done by PayPal.
At the Revver frontpage you can see videos by three category: 1) most watched, 2) editor’s pick and 3) recently added. You can also search videos by keywords or member names and there are also popular collections available.
For a member Revver provides a dashboard, where members can manage their videos, collections and check the video analytics. You can check out, which videos are most popular and most productive.
To make money, you don’t have to upload your own videos, but you can also try to make money by sharing videos. This means, that you embed videos or links to videos at you own blog or website.
From the February, I have uploaded 40 videos, but I have not made even $20 yet, which is the lowest amount to be payed for member. So Revver, please more ads at the beginning of the videos and higher revenue.
And here’s my favourite video: Midnight Sun captured at the Midsummer night, at Ivalo, Finland, above Arctic Circle - enjoy. Or check all my Revver videos.

Revver sucks! they claim to be the first to integrate ad sharing with producers, which they were, but somehow they still have no ad network at all the vast majority of ads you do see are from revver partner sites. If you are looking to get paid from your video don’t use them. I expect revver to go the way of the DODO within the next year or so…. how long can they keep this going without it working. I don’t expect anyone else will pony up any more investment money for them with Google, MetaCafe, Blinkx, adotube, and many others joining the game - and it looks like they already have more ads available…

Thanks for the hint dan, I’ll have to check out other sites too.
But with MetaCafe, I have not made any money.
