Metacafe uses a team of over 100,000 volunteer reviewers to pick the cream of the crop from millions of user-submitted videos. All videos must be owned by the submitter, with everyone involved in the video signing a consent form prior to an accepted video being posted. As the screening process is much more rigorous than YouTube’s, Metacafe ensures that no copyright-violating videos are uploaded, avoiding the legal pitfalls that similar companies have faced.
Once the submission process is complete videos are opened to the public, generating revenue with either post-roll or pre-roll advertisements. After a video has received 20,000 views, a mark which over 30 percent of Metacafe videos achieve, the submitter receives $5 in cash per 1,000 views. Said Arik Czerniak, CEO and co-founder of Metacafe:
People who watch video on the web are hungry for good content, and they are ready to consume a lot of it. You could put your video on YouTube and get a lot of views, but you have to actively market yourself in order to be heard over all the noise. Or, you could post it to Metacafe where we have developed a process that lets the best videos get played immediately so they can start earning you real money.
Metacafe, which recently relocated from Tel Aviv, Israel, to Palo Alto, says that it paid a user $23,000 after his video was viewed 4.5 million times. Metacafe is also friendly to producers in that it doesn’t require exclusive rights in order for a video to be profitable. Users can upload videos to Metacafe and still retain original rights to the video, allowing them to publish videos in other formats or even on other online video sites.
Metacafe currently boasts over 1 million visitors per day, with about 15 million daily videos played across the site. YouTube, by comparison, facilitates over 100 million daily video views. But even with a smaller audience, analysts feel that Metacafe’s format give the site enormous growth potential.
Metacafe’s model is a powerful way of persuading users to publish on one site rather than the other,
said Joe Laszlo, a senior analyst at JupiterResearch, Since there are so many producers of video content right now, competition is bound to heat up.

Youtube is one of the most popular video sharing sites on the net. A year ago, co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen were in between jobs, a pair of twentysomething geeks running up big credit card debts as they tooled around a garage trying to develop an easy way for people to share homemade videos on the Web.
Hurley says, “I do not want to work hard. I want to live a soft life. I want to sleep for three hours every afternoon and nine hours at night. I do not want to stay awake the whole day so that I can get a few 350 grand at the end of each month. I do not want my talents to be exploited by a ruthless employer. I am a lazy man. That is why I choose to live off the net. I am too lethargic to try and survive in the real world. That is why I did not bother to hold down a job though my credit card debt soared.
“On the net things are handed to me by Google. The idea of youtube came to me from a dinner party with a half-dozen friends in the greatest city in the world San Francisco. It was January, 2005, and we couldnt figure out a good solution. Sending the clips around by e-mail was a bust: The e-mails kept getting rejected because they were so big. Posting the videos online was a headache, too. So we created a site and put in basic software.
“What I and Steve came up with is a Web site, now called YouTube, that has become an Internet phenomenon. Show the honey and the bees will flock to it. We worked for about six hours each week for two months designing youtube. We had the idea to create a community around the video.
“Once that was done we knew that tons of millions of dollars would just flow into our laps after the Google buyour. We will not have to work hard. In the old economy you have to work really hard for a lousy promotion which might give you a few more grand if your employer is very generous. You have to get up 3early in the morning and run for a few grand. On the net you can become rich without working hard.
“On the net once you have the idea you just sit at home and then magic will happen. That is exactly what happened at Paypal, Skype, MySpace, Facebook. The basic, simple to design software that I and Chen designed allows people to post almost anything they like on YouTube in minutes. People can jack off on porn. Now we are sitting at home retired early after the Google buyout. Content has been handed to us on a silver platter. We do not have to slog hard to create content like a poorly paid online journalist who makes a lousy 450k each year. We do not have to experience daily financial pressure
because our site does not get enough readers. We are not under pressure to meet deadlines. We get up at ten in the morning and consider that to be hard work. We do not have to work for ten llllong years. That is the privilege of those in the old economy. they take the tube to go to work for a bum 350,000 dollar paycheck at the end of the month.
“We have it easy. The reason why we never held a job for more than a year was because we felt that a rope was attached to out necks. We would have had to stay chained in an office with four walls. It is such a pain to get up in the morning and run for the sake of a few 350 milli grand at the end of the month. The content that we offer is free. That is easy for us to that as we do not have to work to create it. Copyrighted work is there for our users to copy and paste as that is work which we have the right to copy. Other content
comes from common folk wanting to share stuff.
“Revenues will come from advertising. The net is a click and eyeballs business. Google understands this. The clicks come from youtube’s millions of eyeballs that we have not worked for. It is unearned traffic. We do not have to sweat and bleed for it. That is the privilege of poorly paid online journalists. I do not have to worry about losing my job as my content does not get get enough page views. I do not have to take the initiative about my own life. I do not have to discipline myself. I do not have to worry about having a career. The millions of youtube.com visitors will ensure that this will never happen. I can simply focus on trying to build relationships with my tall, tough women friends in San Francisco. We hang out together. We work out together. We sleep in the afternoon together.”
