How to sell videos online, is the question I asked my self.
Here are my findings:
I found those online video storefront services:

MindBites.com (only educational, instructional, and “how to” video contents)
Cerizmo (only accepts PayPal)
Movielocker (seems to accept adult content at least you’ll find a checkbox on their site)

I started with movielocker and it was pretty simple and fast to set all up.

What Movielocker seems not to offer, at least for now, is a recurring billing model which would be really nice and helpfull. On top it would be nice to allow to watch the video x amount of minutes for free and then ask for a payment.

Movielocker has another nice idea instead of selling the video you can just accept donations.
I am wondering if SEO wise it would be a good idea to actually spread the word with 1000 or x views free and then switch to payed-content, and after a while when sales drop switch to donations.

I used Quicktime on my MacBook Pro to record a small testvideo and then uploaded it with in minutes.

I even called the switzerland based company just to check if somebody grabs the phone (yes they did).

Here is my output:

I will check the other services in the next days and will let you know.
