Sometime in early June, 08 - Start Your Tube has since changed its business name to Boost Cast.

Did you ever wanted to start your own You Tube site? Now you can! Start Your Tube is a Montreal based site taking You Tube head on. Or so it seems. It allows you to create your own niche or general video site with one major advantage compared to You Tube. It allows you 3 options to monetize your site advertising. With the free based site, you are allowed to keep 60% of all ad revenues. With an upgrade for just $10 per month, you can get to keep 100% of your site ad revenues.

Account creation is simple and fast. The site does not even send for a verification. 2 simple forms and you are set. Once you log in, you can customize your site with ads, colors and navigation.

The only drawback I find with this site is Traffic. You will need to rely on your own methods to draw traffic and visitors to your site. This is where YouTube has a distinct advantage. Being the 3rd most visited site on the Internet, your content is bound to get an audience. Yet, I find StartYourTube.com very interesting and there is a need it can fill in the fast saturating video market.
