[videoblogging] RME and ROI
My videos promo books. They're called Book Trailers and they are created to give you a visual "flavor" of the story. They aren't traditional commercials. They're meant to be fun. We push the video the month before it is released and then a push during the first week of sales. The first week of sales is what will determine where you place on a bestseller list. After that, we leave the video up for as long as the book is in print. Our videos continue to get hits years after their initial release. I know that TubeMogul just did a study on the shelf live of online video- http://www.tubemogul.com/research/index.php?r=7 But we've been doing some R&D and the data has been interesting. Now I need to apply that somehow in significance to ROI. Residual Marketing Effect is what I'm calling promo longevity that results in purchases long after the initial campaign.(that might have been redundant...but hey...it's 3AM and I can't sleep...so this is what I do) For example, we have a video that is 2 years old that started getting a bunch of hits all of a sudden. We found that someone saw it, liked it, bought the book and then blogged about how great the book is. So we see this increase in views that are resulting in purchases. I want to write a paper on this to tie it into a sort of ROI long tail, if you will. My reasoning is that many of our larger clients are paying $15,000 for a single USA Today national ad and I want to use this information as part of my overall pitch to have them invest in online video instead. I can also use it, hopefully, to encourage product placement or sponsorship. Has anyone else worked on this kind of data? Sheila

Think you need lots of animated gif's to get the true porn look... with the occasional star shape covering the main point of focus. Will research from home later...

Mike, I know exactly what you're getting at. I don't have a quick solution at the moment, but I will give this some more thought. Also, it was my understanding that some time ago, the Video Archive plugin would allow this functionality. Adam W.

I made a crazy website using gif animations. My lil' brother drew a bunch of flipbooks. I scanned them in and put them together using the gimp. Gif's are the way to go for insanity. http://www.totalassface2003.com Enjoy. -John from totalvom.com. (P.S.

[videoblogging] Re: Decline in posts to this group.
Funny -I am now comoing back to the list after a long absence. I started following this list in 2004. But I never became an active videoblogger. But now I do have a series at my work called "My Office Has A Kitchen." For the first time, I am editing video on a weekly basis and loving it. Videos can be seen at: http://iterasi.blogspot.com. I need to organize the videos better. Another reason to come back to the list! The thing is there are so many resources now available on the web but this list still seems to have a core group of really knowledgeable folks. That's why I come back here. This is where you find the pros, the pioneers. As Steve says, there are a lot of new technologies that are still quite unexplored. I hope this list continues to become a place where i can learn from others how to best use these technologies in my work and in my personal life.
