Fixed it for you. And now I'll add to the fail.
99% of the people here will never create a successful tube site. I can't do it. Don't have the wherewithal...
Sure, you can start a tube site and get a bit of a community going, maybe make half decent sales using short promo clips. Unfortunately - no matter how niche your website is - someone is going to create a tube and post full videos on it. Or start a forum with full site rips. Why even consider competing with that nonesense?
If you have little traffic, I'd suggest trying fake tube. I mean
really fake. No FLV players on your site at all. For me, there is no point in competing.
Quick overview: Install a WP tube theme. Propagate with posts. Your frontpage will be covered with thumbnails and stars and durations, etc - just like a tube. When a surfer clicks a thumbnail, they go to your "video" page.
On this video page, there is no video, no flv player. Instead, there is an image of an flv video that links to a hosted FLV gallery - preferably a gallery with one video, and hopefully that video matches your thumb. They click play to watch the video, they go to sponsor site. Buh-bye. I want to sell memberships - not entertain horny 12 year olds.
It actually works pretty well - and no-one gets upset because they still get served a video.
