Since a few days, I’m member of spymac (http://www.spymac.com), and I must say: I like it. This site offers you a possibility to upload pictures, audio and of course video’s, and to make money with them.
You get a part of the daily ad-income, depending how much your pictures/audio/video are viewed and rated. You also get a part of the monthly jackpot if your uploads where well visited. This site is not adsense-based.
A thing I like about this site is that you don’t have to upload video’s, but you can upload other content. I’m not a great movie-maker, but I do photoshop a bit. I’ve uploaded 2 of my photoshop’s ugliest creations, and it did pay me out a bit more than 1 dollar. That’s 1 dollar in 2 days, and that’s a lot more than my flixya/revver income…
Another advantage is that there is no extreme copyright control, at least I didn’t notice it. There are a lot of people just uploading things from sites, and it still is on the site. Metacafe and revver don’t want your video if it contains copyrighted music, but there are a lot of these sort of vid’s on spymac, and the audio is invested with copyrighted music (it’s all german, but I guess it’s copyrighted ^^).
a few examples:

They do say it’s your own responsability if you upload copyrighted material, and they also say you won’t get money for copyrighted content, but I don’t know how much they control this.
As for people with a site, you can direct link the images, so that can spare you a little bit of bandwith.
If you want to make a collection of your pictures, you can upload them to a collection and share them with your friends, a great possibility. Of course, you can make it private.
So, if you are creative and/or make nice pictures (yes, make your own content, you will get more money with it), and you want to earn some money with it, I think spymac is the place. It does earn a lot more (in my opinion) than spamming movies on flixya, or linking movies from revver.

When I first started
When I first started uploading lots of videos (my own) I made a whooping 5$ the first day and 9$ the second day, I was like : that’s a good site, let’s see the next days !
But now after a month I’m some days earning some cents (I haven’t uploaded fresh videos) and I’m still not at 25$ which is the minimum to be able to cash out. I’m near, but by 0.13$ or 0.25$ a day, it’s slow.
I have still original videos to send, but I odn’t like their interface, I don’t know which videos I’ve sent and which I haven’t, I need some work to sort it out and perhaps earn some more, enough to cash out.
Good start, but then it goes slow very quickly, my videos are not that interesting, certainly not virals!
