    y u no do it?

    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Is it even possible to make money uploading?

    I am trying to make a site where I upload adult video game reviews/let's plays. The problem is I did the math and it seems like the more minutes watched, the more money I lose.

    So here goes. For the video hosting I was looking at flowplayer...
    $0.221/GB for streaming
    Since every video will be about half a GB, I need to pay $0.11 per full video view.

    For the ads I was looking at ero-advertising but since I have no idea how much I would make with them I used YouTube as a substitute for the calculation.
    On YouTube from ads I make about $0.01 per full video view.

    So it seems like I would lose $0.10 per view???? Is this right or have I missed something? Is there a cheaper way to host HD videos on a website? Or something else I should be doing differently?
    Thanks in advanced!

    Also for got to mention I will be using in-video ads as well as banner ads.
