This article will focus on Russian free video hosting. This resource is a fairly good analogue of Youtube.
"YouTube" and analogue of "YouTube"
To date, the most popular on the global Internet is the foreign video hosting Youtube, which is owned by Google. Every day millions of users from all over the world visit this site, who upload thousands of copyrighted or third-party videos, as well as view millions of already uploaded videos themselves. Of course, given the multinational audience of the site, it was translated into many languages, including Russian. Nevertheless, YouTube is far from the only video hosting, and Russian companies also have their own prototype.
Similar to YouTube
There is a free Russian site on the Runet, which belongs to one large media company. This video hosting is called Rutube. This network resource allows its visitors to download, that is, store their own videos, as well as view videos uploaded by other users. It should be noted that Rutube is a direct analogue of YouTube, since in terms of its functionality and visu althe design is in many ways similar to it. The owners of this service enter into various partnership agreements on cooperation with some content distribution systems. Many of them have already earned their own recognizable name on the Russian market. Thus, Rutube occupies a leading position in the Russian market for the distribution of video content.
General Description
The YouTube analogue we are considering has largely the same functions as the famous original. For example, users who own the copyright to the videos they upload will be able to "monetize" them and earn money in this way. This happens due to the display inside the video of various promotional materials from various partner projects that distribute their products and services. However, few channel owners use this opportunity, since the audience of this site is not large enough.
Considering in more detail the issue of earnings on this site, you should pay attention to earnings from affiliate programs. If a user who has his own account is also the copyright holder of his content, then he can apply to connect an affiliate program. However, in order to be approved, the account must meet a number of minimum requirements.
In addition to the affiliate program, you can enter into cooperation with some advertising exchange and receive income from someone else's advertising posted on your site, that is, your account.
In addition, it should be noted that the analogue of "YouTube" quite often fails and is characterized by unstable operation of its servers. This factor has an extremely negative effect on the overall impression of users who express their angry emotions in reviews, and sometimes even leave this resource.
In general, this is a pretty good project where people can create and maintain their own video blogs and channels, create live broadcasts and engage in other media activities. Rutube is by far the best free video hosting in Russia.
