Noble man makes money posting videos online

The Norman Transcript

“I just kind of focused on entertainment, just trying to make videos I enjoy and that other people would watch,” Scott said.

But why doesn’t

he just go read a book?

Scott said his favorite aspect of posting videos online is “user feedback. Finding out what people think about my video.”

Although he’s had a lot of positive feedback, there have been a few people who hated one of his videos enough they went to his personal Web site to tell him how they felt.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a video that was so lame foundationally and in execution that I was compelled to visit this site to write and say how lacking in humor and talent you are. Seriously, stop,” one visitor to Scott’s site said.

These types of comments are few and far between, however, and Scott said he really enjoys the community that develops with people who watch his videos frequently.

This is one reason he hasn’t abandoned YouTube entirely, he said, because the audience there is more interactive.

Another reason Scott said he enjoys online videos is the flexibility it allows viewers. People can watch things that would never make it on television, and they can do it whenever they want, he said.

“People want to see things when they want to see them,” Scott said.

Media conglomerates have jumped on the bandwagon, with companies like NBC sponsoring “channels” on YouTube and allowing viewers to watch TV shows and clips on-demand at their Web site.

And that’s why they

pay him the big bucks
