"seeing as you'd be doing all of the work"

YouTube provides the technology, servers, bandwidth and audience.

If you want 100% of the revenue, you should host your own content on your own servers, using your own bandwidth and selling your own ads. That would be doing all the work.

We have had this in place on FilmFitti.com since November of 07. Content providers get 80% of the ad sale revenue. Advertisers make 10% on their spots they buy if it sells after they own it.

Hi, Adam: We've actually had this in place at Revver for about 8 months, and it works well for those creators who have the ability to take advantage of it. In Revver's model, they get to keep their half of the ad revenue split, and earn a commission on top of that for selling the ad.

Hmm, interesting, I wonder what kind of higher quality ads we will begin to see. I would love to get some better monetization out of my channel.
