How does it work?
ROFLvideo provides you an avenue to earn money from Google via AdSense, an ad-serving Google application. You earn money when genuine viewers click the ads around the videoplayer while watching your videos. The more attractive the videos you upload, the more viewers want to watch your videos and the more money you could make for yourself.
How much money will I earn?
Advertisers pay Google a certain amount to show their ads on the internet. The amount paid depends on the highest bidding advertiser. Whenever an ad is clicked (in this case, by viewers of your videos), the winning bidder is charged his bid amount. Of this amount, Google takes an undisclosed percentage, while the remainder is earned by you. Again, the more videos you upload, the wider an audience you reach, and more money you could make for yourself.
