It’s coming fast. Will you have videos ready for the ads? Will you profit? Will advertisers be clawing to buy space in your videos?
Beware YouTube watchers, ads are coming―as soon as this summer. The video-sharing site that was acquired by Google in November is experimenting with the precise length, form, and placement of those ads, and will begin rolling them out this summer, Suzie Reider, head of advertising for YouTube, told an audience at the Ad:Tech conference in San Francisco Wednesday.
“We’re looking at executions like a very quick little intro preceding a video, then the video, then a commercial execution on the backside of the content,†Ms. Reider said.
The idea is to generate long-promised revenues that Google can share with the more than 1,000 “premium†content creators whose video material is available on YouTube, Ms. Reider said.

Business Around A Lifestyle
The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.
That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?
Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
Great, more ads. I really dislike those intro’s before the actual video.
Wonder if people will start looking elsewhere for their clips.
It’s inevitable Bob eh? I think the ads will come somewhere in the first 30 seconds of the video or halfway, not at the beginning, but who knows?
