I’ll tell you the economics of online video… charging $250.00 clams for a white paper about the space. Probably the only company mentioned in Advertising Age’s report that’s making money is Advertising Age. Someone buy it, and send me a peek.
I went to the Google video site’s comedy section, and the entire first screen features $1.99 Mr. Magoo videos. Oh, man. Forget everything I said about Google Video taking over YuTube. Someone please post a comment and tell me you spent $1.99 on a copy of Mr. Magoo? Please.
Google is expected to buy the Earth next week. See Bloomberg. Not a bad thing. Envision Google Earth (video), but life size.
HappySlip, the 5th most subscribed YouTuber, is selling her videos via DVD. To give you an idea of the affinity between the former New Yorker and her fans, I’ll remind you of when I broke into her apartment and stole her stapler. I later auctioned it on eBay and it raised more than $850 for…
Can you tell the difference between a fake and a real smile? The short (3-5 minute) test asks you to report your “outlook” on life and “confidence” in spotting a fake versus real smile. Then it takes you through 20 tiny video snippets to determine a fake versus real smile. I haven’t been able to answer…
Howcast is looking for someone to produce, edit, and host our new video blog taking a look inside Howcast and the world of how-to. Writes Howcast, “this is a real, paid part-time gig in its NYC office in SoHo.” Tell ’em how you’d be the face of Howcast’s new series by submitting a video response…
You’ve heard about online video, and you have a few extra large monitors (HDTV) that you aren’t using. Now you’re running out of excuses, because the Roku (which like AppleTV, Boxee, TiVo and other devices) will soon offer Angry Birds… right on your boob tube. To be sure Roku is right for you, check out…

Ugh, this looks like such a scam. I’m sure it’s just info lifted from sources across the web.
Nalts, why didn’t you write this WP first?!
Who buys those papers?
This is an obvious scam
I did a search to see if anyone had lifted it and was handing out copies. The search brought me here. Your thoughts are my thoughts. Now, back to searching.
I did a search too and came to you, Nalts. How funny is that?? SO did anyone ever send you a copy?
BY the way, I emailed you a while back = did you get my email? If not, please email me (you used to have my personal address, and my work one is here now).
Thanks!
Well if any one gets a copy please me a peek to see why it cost 300$
Thanks
At least your site is ranking high for the keyword “Online Video White Paper”
This white-paper and others on the economics of on-line video are flawed. Primarily for two reasons; 1, These papers focus their data on established sites (like You tube) and do not take into account delivery and potential monetization for the emerging mobile phone market. 2. Because on-line video is such a market-specific endeavor (ie-Video hosting site about weddings will generate different return vs, site dedicated to say, fishing), it’s virtually impossible to accurately estimate the amount of revenue a person can generate from on-line video.(whether streamed or stored for later download) One college student who formed Funeralrecording.com, made $500,000 in just 5 years. (Talk about specialty market). The bottom line for me at least, was looking at the specific markets, and finding the appropriate service to fulfill the market need. Remember, on-line video that is stored is global, and requires very little capital outlay (web site, CDN, and advertising) so even the most obscure site can generate revenue if it’s marketed properly. Hope my little diatribe helps.
