How The Web Changed The Entertainment Industry

By Chester Dakyastillo


The internet undeniably has brought numerous changes in our society. The internet changed the academe, the way we conduct business, entertainment, and all other aspects of society. First designed to help the military in its endeavors, the Arpanet was designed for faster data transfer among different military bases. And since everything in the US gets privatized, the internet was introduced to the consumer market. As of the moment, it's the most popular medium for entertainment.

There are a lot of ways on how to earn money over the web. Perhaps the easiest way to put it is ad supported media like social networking sites, blogs, and video streaming. Look at YouTube for instance. Everyone and anyone can share the limelight and if you are lucky or creative enough to become the next YouTube star, then make some money through yourself by getting ad sponsors. Blogging is another money-making endeavor. If your blog creates enough traffic, then selling up some ad space is not a bad idea. Learn the basics of advertising and marketing.

Online casinos also generate a lot of profit since compared to physical casinos, these sites are more accessible. An online casino woks almost the same as the real thing. Developers take part in the whole internet craze and produce games that are enticing to the market. Online gaming has become such a hit that it generates a lot of income through prepaid credits. In order to play, gamers need to buy credits first.

This type of marketing generates a lot of profit since consumers would keep on coming back. Regular PC and console games are not attached to these online sites. But by combining the RPG and social networking in a fictional world, the allure is undeniable. Streaming content also generates income through ads and marketing. Streaming content generates a lot of traffic as well and once traffic becomes significant, your site will becomes more enticing to consumers.

On demand video is really profitable. But be careful about intellectual property rights and copyright laws. So instead of posting downloadable content, you can offer video streaming on your site. Since there are no downloads being done, then your viewers would naturally come back.
