[videoblogging] talkin' bout money

2008-04-03 Thread schlomo rabinowitz 
Hey all
One thing that is much more interesting than TALKING about how to make money
from your videos is DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.  Don't you think?

Take a look at what the folks at Common Craft are doing with their videos
now:



Lee is a super-smart guy (and a nice guy to boot!), and I think his vision
on the value of his works are usually spot-on.

What do you think?

But its not about just sending out the video on a DVD; its also about
changing some of the content to keep it current.  I think thats some of the
interesting part.
The chance to constantly refine the piece thats sold.  It's kinda a
double-edged sword... you want to be done with the video at some point, but
you also want the information relevant.

...and the type of information that's being provided there is definitely one 
that morphs on a continual basis.

Re: [videoblogging] talkin' bout money

2008-04-04 Thread Roxanne Darling 
I have been noodling on an idea for over a year of licensing our content to
companies for use on the intranet. Most people tell us they watch to reduce
stress and "get my head back on square" while at the office.  Lots of
companies block YT and other internet sites, and actually want to drive
people to the intranet for "important company-related messages."
HR materials to help people be healthier are so dated. Having modern, clean
content that is is health-oriented, or comedy (laughter is healing - science
has proven that), informational - well it just seems to me a natural fit.

Yes the co could get it for free online, but that means opening up a port
and by licensing it for internal use, they can get a custom feed, better
quality, timed episode releases, and then there are all sorts of
possibilities for integrating specific content ideas and internal messaging
too.

I've not yet been able to sell this to a company - approached Intel last
year but they responded "We've never done anything like this before." Which
of course, I knew.  So it will take a very forward-thinking company.  As a
former health coach. I would even bet that watching Beach Walks daily for a
few months could lower people's blood pressure - and now we are talking
serious savings in the health care costs department.

I'd love any ideas you folks may have on this. Or leads to HR managers.

Though I really am heading back to billables and will check in later today.

I lied. I'm still here.  I made a chart of CPM rates gathered from a Web
Video Report article here showing higher value for targeted and downloadable
media.
