What Is Flixya 2.0?

by James Comer

Flixya 2.0 is a popular social networking, online video sharing community which just re-launched. Version 2.0 is bigger and better. Their motto is simply “Share Everything”. They certainly live up to that as the latest version not only includes video sharing, but also incorporates blogs, and photo sharing into the model. Instead of the previous 50% revenue sharing, Flixya now gives 100% of the ad revenue generated to its users. (Note: You do need to sign up for your own adsense account for the revenue sharing).

To paraphrase, Flixya bills itself as the only social-networking site that pays you 100% of the earnings that are derived from advertisements (provided by Google ads) appearing around the content on your pages. This applies to your videos, blogs, and photos that are hosted on your pages that you’ve set up on the site.

Do I Have To Pay To Use Flixya?

Nothing at all, it’s free.

Revenue Sharing, What’s That?

Flixya users receive 100% of the income generated by the content they submit. These content pages include: videos, photos, blogs, galleries, user profile. This program is powered by Google Adsense and requires a Google Adsense account which users can sign up for during registration or in the ad settings page for logged in users.

How Do I Collect This Ad Revenue?

It’s very easy to get paid. The money goes into your Adsense(tm) account whenever someone clicks on one of the advertisements displayed on your pages.

How Do I Share Videos?

Flixya encourages you to share or upload your videos from other popular online video sharing sites. These include Daily Motion, Google Video, YouTube, Revver, as well as Livevideo, Bolt, and MetaCafe. I’m sure there will be more very soon. Flixya has just released a highly addictive addon for FireFox called “Flixya Video Publisher 2.0″. You can also vote on videos you like or don’t like by voting up or down. Popular photos and videos will appear on the homepage.

Share Your Photos For Free?

Flixya- as one of the best online photo sharing sites, will let you share your photos with your family, and friends, and also offers unlimited ebay auction image hosting.

Create Your Personal Profile

Flixya allows you to create your own personal profile where you can link to and share your personal interests, friends, videos, photos and blog posts.

What About Blogging?

Yes, you can create your own blog. A blog is short for “weblog”. A Blog is a type of online diary or chronological listing of what you are thinking. These are usually maintained daily by you and reflect your own personality. You are encouraged to create your own blog(s) and you can promote yourself and/or add other content. You get to collect 100% of the money that is derived from the content surrounding your blogs, as well.

Social Bookmarking

As you can see, Flixya has it pretty well covered, much more than I can write about here.

There is a lot more happening at Flixya than I have the space to write about here.
