There is no question that YouTube is the most popular video sharing site online, and will likely remain at the top for a long time to come. What this means is that you should still make use of YouTube if at all possible, but you need to make sure you go about it the right way. The key is to avoid any overt marketing in your videos. This includes the content of the video as well as the information you add when you upload your videos. If you do it right you will be able to keep your videos on YouTube, but it's still smart to have a few alternatives ready to go if your account gets shut down.

Brightcove does things a little differently because it allows you to basically create your own online TV station. It's easy to do and you can add your own videos as well as videos created by other people. The cool part is that it's syndicated with other popular video sites on the internet. The ability to earn additional income through ad revenue or video sales is just the icing on the cake.

Dailymotion is one of the best known YouTube alternatives for marketing, and it has a lot to offer those who have an online business presence. You can easily upload videos, but there is more to it than that. There is also a B2B (business-to-business) feature called the Dailymotion Cloud that helps you to use video for your marketing purposes. The player can be customized for your users, and it allows your videos to be viewed on a variety of platforms.

Revver is another of the YouTube alternatives that gives you the chance to earn revenue from videos. Now, if you are simply uploading a video, then Revver will choose an ad to be attached to it, and you share the revenue that it generates. However, as a business owner, you can also pay to have your ad shown on videos which can bring in new business.

If you are looking for YouTube alternatives for marketing you don't have to rely on video-only websites. In fact, just about any site that supports videos can be used for marketing purposes, though you may have to use your own bandwidth to host your videos. Social networking sites are some of the best alternatives because people use them to share things with each other, and if they're sharing your video, then that means your marketing message is spreading.
