I'm looking to make videos and sell advertising on the site which plays them for free... the question... is this commercially viable, or will it always be the case that the ads can never make enough money to cover the cost of someone viewing it?

The plan was to use short YouTube clips to promote them, then refer them back to the site to view the full length versions...

The video's content is technical/scientific, so its very much a niche, albeit a popular one... (it refers to climate change).

Question #2: Can someone recommend a suitable host?

Warm Regards,


joel
