Making money from movie reviews?

[Schlosser85]

What is my best set for actually starting to get paid as I add to the hundreds of movie reviews I have written?

I know I probably won't get paid for ones I've written years ago, but what's my best set for starting to profit going forward?

What kind of online audience do you have? Readership numbers?

Make youtube video reviews, and make sure you make your channel setting add payment to your videos.

Yeah YouTube reviews like Jeremy Jahns, the schmoes knows, Chris Struckman etc. make lots of YouTube views.

They started pretty early when YouTuber's were still kinda new, now it's really really hard to become a popular YouTuber, due to people becoming extremely popular and easy to do.

You want to build up an audience first. Whenever you integrate ads into your site you'll inevitably lose part of your readership. The best thing to do is to go with unobtrustive ads that complement your reviewing. Amazon affiliate links and such are easy to integrate into blog posts, and so you can make money when people click to buy movies that you reviewed.

The more diverse your content, the more readers you'll attract. Podcasts and youtube videos can bring in more views and offer alternative ways to advertise.

You'll want to control your ads carefully and select ones which complement the appearance and theme of your site, not ones which clash with it or seem obtrusive.

After seeing the video he posted in his first death match thread for this year, I checked a couple more videos, he has what it takes to be a big name reviewer on the tube.
Now he needs to pour a loooot of time and effort into it.

I know I sound like a huge d**k saying this, but it's the sad truth, no matter how good his video is, it's still going to be extremely hard to gain viewers.

Not if he just randomly plops it on youtube, no. But if he builds an audience across multiple platforms with good content, then its not as much of a problem.

That's what I mean, he can't just gain viewers just like that, he needs to build uo,word of mouth, video sharing etc.
