My Video website idea

Thanks in advance...

Here is what I'm doing. I'm creating a video website (kind of a youtube clone structure). It will have local videos (personal vlogs, news, local musicians, etc) i get from youtube and other video websites. I will also had entertaining/popular viral videos to mix things up. I want to eventually have people upload their own videos so I don't have to use videos from other sites as much. The goal is to sell local ads/clickbank/affilate programs in the future. If I get enough views do you think this idea would work (lets say I get around a million or more views a month)?

I'll thank all comments (I'm still getting the hang of doing it)

Thanks again!

    I think it is good idea. I have also been thinking on same lines. But questions here?

    Would you use wordpress for this site?
    How will you allow people to upload videos?

    Thanks for the positive responses. I the site to be hyperlocal so I can get local businesses. My only fear is content. I noticed a lot of the videos related to the city or people post can be boring. I may mix it up with viral videos and other more interesting content. Anyone think that's a good idea>

      Sounds like a very good idea. I would add videos from the night life and club scenes to get a lot of the youth market clicks. Here is a hulu styled theme that seems pretty good. (no affiliate link)

        Idea is good, that is the future of television ) I'd also look into the more or less simple ways to create original content. For example convert photos into video with the tools like TrueKat Show and stuff.

        BTW I don't see any harm in using YouTube as a hosting. Your task is to aggregate the content and present it in a nice and convenient form. Lots of successful video site do just that.

        Good luck!

    Sounds like a plan, but marketing it is going to be important to get your views! Good luck with it though and let your fellow Warriors know when it's up and running!
