BOSTON -- A local Boston woman is turning her passion for making home movies into a profitable business venture with the Web juggernaut YouTube.
Jodie Rivera, 23, known to YouTube users as Venetian Princess, has been tapped by YouTube to take part in the company’s new revenue sharing program.
In January, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley announced that the Web site, which had recently been purchased by Google for $1.65 billion, was working on a program to allow users to be paid for posting their videos.
The program that launched Thursday targets YouTube’s most popular posters, allowing them to put advertisements above their videos and receive payment from the company.
Rivera has 22 videos on her personal page and more than 2 million views since she joined the video sharing site last August.
"It's awesome having people like my video and being able to build fan bases. I’ve always been interested in making home movies," she said.
For all the praise and encouragement viewers have posted on her page, she has had a few odd requests from fans.
"One person actually asked if they could buy my trash," she said.
Rivera is prevented from disclosing how much she will be paid by a confidentiality contract.
Is that thing HUMAN? Or from outer space? Or did her boyfriend slap her a little too hard and one of her eyes got a bit out of whack?
I just wasted part of my life watching one of the videos, at first this seemed cool as it started off
This happened while my husband was at work..." it was not about crazy sex with hot female members.
She also violates DMCA using music she hasn't paid for and images in her videos.

The music and images in her videos are all royalty free or original. It says the sources in the description boxes.

Did you watch the video? Did you listen to the music? Then you would know that just because she says it's "royalty free" because the music is not performed by the original author does not make it royalty free.
Also the foley that she is using in several of the videos is also not "royalty free".

I've seen all of her videos, she is well-known in the youtube world and in real life. i know for a fact that all of the material is indeed royalty free because i use those websites as well and some are stock sounds from pro tools and garageband.
why do jealous people always try to knock down creative successful people? try to be more positive, she is a young girl doing what she enjoys and she is getting recognition for it. learn to be happy for others.
