MenuWhat are the affordable video hosting services similar to vdocipher, that provide encrypted video streaming options?
We want to share training videos on our new website. I want to ensure that users cannot download these using any 3rd party browser extensions or services just as they do it from youtube or vimeo. I found vdocipher which provides such Encryption, Any more such services? Seeking a low budget option since videos will be available free for students.

I would recommend that you check out http://wistia.com/ - I use them for all my videos. Public and privately.
Thanks Thomas, I had already talked to Wistia support team before posting the Ques here. They do not provide any encrypted streaming service (similar to that of vdocipher), and they cannot ensure that the videos are not downloadable by using any 3rd party browser extensions/services. I am looking for something similar to what vdocipher provides.
Brightcove is a popular one, and one that we have heard good things about. https://www.brightcove.com/en/online-video-platform/delivery

How can I monetize my You Tube videos effectively outside of the website's own monetization?
Congrats on your steady growth on Twitter and YouTube - that's definitely a good sign that you're on the right track! Sponsorship, brand integration, product placement, reviews, and endorsements are all good ways to make more income with your YouTube videos. Sponsorship would be like a regular, ongoing company that is mentioned at the start and/or end as helping make the video/show possible, brand integration would be making a video based around the company's product or service, product placement would be using the company's product briefly in a video, a review would be sharing your thoughts on the company's product or service, and an endorsement could just be saying at some point that you found a company with a product or service that you like and think your audience would as well. Hope that helps and otherwise if you would like more information on any of those or ways to get companies involved, please feel free to request a call with me!JR

Any advice / suggestions or reputable recommendations for how to videos?
Great question. I think you'll find that most video production companies are "reputable" however the bigger question is what kind of quality do you want and what is your budget? Having been a creative and video director for 20 years, I've seen budgets from $1,000 to $100,000 for videos, for widely varying types of projects. For a simple explainer you are looking in the realm of $500-$5000 depending the on quality and customization. There are places that charge more and do amazing work but those companies are typically creating work for bigger brands. Hope that helps.SM

Starting a video production company with one partner, need advice on the equity split.
Hey there! This doesn't seem to meet the definition of a partnership, especially if all of the funding is coming from you. You certainly want to demonstrate that you value his expertise and contributions but it really sounds like you are bringing your first employee (if you are based in the U.S. learn more about how the IRS designated independent contractors from employees here http://bit.ly/IRScontractorvsemployee). Without having many other details, my suggestion is that you connect with your local economic development council or workforce council to prepare yourself for becoming an employer. Your discussions will change from percentage to salary. You might also consider developing an operating agreement for commission-based compensation on any sales that he brings in. I really hope this helps!LW

How to get more monetized YouTube views?
Yes, you need to sell something that earns you money beyond the YouTube advertising. I've had a channel for years and sell books, courses, Clarity calls and consulting. YouTube is a great platform for selling yourself and your expertise but as more people come on board, the revenues from advertising falls. Arrange a call if you'd like to brainstorm some ideas.
