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.
Who needs the fancy Bose Soundlink Mini Bluetooth wireless rechargeable speakers? Or your fancy SONOS systems? Here’s my morning project… a do-it-yourself semi-portable amplified Bluetooth speaker system made out of my grandfather’s amo box. If you already have a pair of decent speakers, this system will set you back exactly $44.84 and give you sound…
I’m the guy that opens up a new toy and tosses the instructions out with the plastic shell and wire thingies. I learn new software through trial and error and search “help” as a last resort. Some of you, however, are more methodological. Comment below, if you are so inclined, on good sources to learn…
Lots of people have been asking me lately about the demographics about YouTube users (age, median income, gender). Here are some recent stats you’ll want in your “back pocket.” According to the YouTube “fact sheet”: Our user base is broad in age range, 18-55, evenly divided between males and females, and spanning all geographies. Fifty-one…
I hope you know by now I’m rather infatuated with voice characterizations (Jim Meskimen as new Mel Blanc). Meet the best new voice impressionist ever: Polly Lou Livinston, tapped by animator Pen Ward, 27. Ward, who created the recently launched CartoonNetwork show, “Adventure Time With Finn and Jake” (a bland name for a quirky, unique…
Before there was the “long tail” theory, there was the 80/20 rule. Before that there was Murphy’s Law. I haven’t quite understood any of them, but I think this blog entry supports them. Why? Because 80% of you will not understand why this link is so funny. 20% of you will fall over and do…
The Smart Show is a new pilot that will feature a 2-month road trip by Henry Dittman plus an amateur host that will be selected via online-video entries. The duo will tour America at the hospitality of sponsor Holiday Inn Express, and explore odd and interesting things in various cities. I’ve been debating my wife…

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.
