You just found that perfect video on YouTube and absolutely have to have it on your iPod to show your friends. Unfortunately the file type is not compatible. Your first thought was, "How in the world am I going to get this video from YouTube to my iPod?". Not to worry! In less than 5 minutes you can have the YouTube video playing on your iPod (or any other digital media playing device) by using a free YouTube file converter.
That's right! It's totally free and can be done without having to download anything. Not only can you convert files from YouTube, you can also convert video files that are stored on your computers hard drive. No need to buy expensive video conversion software any longer. With the popularity of online videos you can now use a free YouTube file converter to edit all of your favorites. Organize your videos so they're all converted to the same format. Better yet, convert them to several different file types. That way you can have a copy of your videos on your PC, one one your iPod, one on your mobile phone, and one anywhere else you think you may want to watch.
If you head over to Vixy.net you have the option of converting any video online (you simply enter the video URL) to an AVI (for Windows), MOV (for Mac), MP4 (for iPods/PSP), 3GP (for mobile), or MP3 (for audio only). This is a great converter if you are downloading videos. It takes only a couple of clicks and you are done. Copy and paste in the address of your video into the URL field, select the file type you want the video downloaded as and click start. In moments you will be able to click "Download". It's that simple.
On the other hand, if you have a video on your computer you need uploaded to YouTube or simply want to change the file format you should check out mediaconverter.org. You have many of the same options as you do on Vixy.net but at mediaconverter.org you have the option of converting to several more formats. In addition to having more formats to choose from you also get to choose audio and video bit rate, video resolution (size of screen), and audio and video codec.
There are many other free YouTube file converter sites available but both of these are very easy to use and have no registration (no SPAM or followup emails), no downloading software (no spy ware or virus worries), and no giving out personal information (totally anonymous). Both sites work with Windows as well as Macintosh computers. Click to it and get that YouTube file converted to your iPod today!
Another way to make money on YouTube is to post the most highly viewed videos into your blog or website and put Google Ad Sense ads on the side. As the much talked about video gets searched, its position on your blog can get indexed on the search engines and give you higher rankings. That traffic can view the video you've embedded on your site, and perhaps click through on the ads, thus earning you PPC. This is a very passive form of income, and requires some tweaking and testing, but it can work. If you post a video to your site, and link back, then post comments to other blogs, or link it to a social networking site, like Facebook or MySpace, then your friend list may drive traffic to the site.
