Submit your video to metacafe and get paid

According to them, Metacafe’s Producer Rewards program rewards you for creating and submitting great videos.

Tips to promote your blog

Amit chooses one:

Be an active commenter.
Try to leave comments on the blogs you read every day. This is in the same vein as linking. Leaving a comment on someone’s post can make their day. Nothing beats getting those email notifications that whisper tacitly out at you from the screen, "You’re thoughts have struck me dead in my tracks. I simply must acknowledge you and your greatness." (Or something to that effect.) Most comment systems also provide a way for you to leave a link back to your blog which begs a visit at the very least. So if you feel inspired, leave a comment or two in your blog travels. It behooves you.
