[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
Actually, Kunga, if you take into account Andrew's post saying that they were looking at CPMs of $50-150/episode (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/32269), that would be approximately: $50 CPM x 200 (ie. 200 thousand viewers) = At least $10,000/episode $10,000/episode x 5 days = $50,000/week $50,000 x 52 weeks = $2,600,000/year Which means... $50-150 CPM = $2,600,000-7,800,000/year That's even more than what Jeff Jarvis from BuzzMachine.com quoted to the New York Times a couple of months ago. He originally mentioned that RB could sell ads for approximately $8,000/show and make a $2,000,000 annual salary. Of course, if RB wanted to do this full time they may need to hire a small ad production team to keep putting out innovative content. This won't be a problem if they are able to establish a steady paycheck. Heck, I know I'd quit my day job and live off peanuts to join a team like that... As always, wishing them luck in their future endeavors.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
According to the CBS interview last August, the space of a 15 second ad is worth about $750,000 a year now @ 150,000 circulation. So their reserve should be about $15,000 for a week of 15 second or $30,000 for a week of 30 second ads, perhaps $60,000 for a one minute ad x 5. I imagine they will produce length according to how high the winning bid is. -- Taylor Barcroft http://www.blogger.com/profile/11159903 New Media Publisher, Editor, Video Journalist, Podcaster, Futurecaster Santa Cruz CA, Beach of the Silicon Valley URL http://FutureMedia.org RSS http://feeds.feedburner.com/FutureMedia iTunes http://tinyurl.com/8ql87 On Feb 2, 2006, at 10:17 AM, Pete Prodoehl wrote: > Ms. Kitka wrote: >> I don't know, Edmund, what ads would they show for your money during >> the REST of your birthday week?

You know. I never said to anyone that they shouldnt take money for advertising on their blog/vlog/whatever you want to call what you do on your website. I am just saying be conscious of what you are taking the money for. I could go on with another story about when I ran an internet radio station back in the day and was bought out with advertising and the likes. But I aint going to bore anyone else with my stories. Suffice it to say that if every vlogger out there snags some sort of deal and gets paid to vlog, then kudos for you. Good on ya. Ride it as far as you can and then go the extra 200 feet. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry can reply to this subject with their thoughts and ideas and opinions until the cows come home. I'm done with it. I have to go and spend some time in the Mayo with my wife and try to make some of her time enjoyable and bareable. Thanks, be well and take care.

Well what I love about GeekBrief.tv is a combination of Charisma, femininity in the form of "Cali Lewis" as well as excellent production values and BRANDING. Neal and Laura are really an excellent team. Wonder where they are. And the Podshow HQ is in San Francisco. Excellent.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
So, David, it's not the money you have a problem with. It's the influence that money brings. I wonder if other motivators/value-markers that can also influence content are as soul-destroying. For instance: I love my husband. Our love is generally a positive thing. BUT: his influence has changed/removed some of my vlog content. Is that a bad thing or not? I'm also motivated by audience comments-- I love it when people say stuff about my vlog! Don't we all just love the attention sometimes? Is fame/attention a negative motivator? If "the fans" want one thing in particular from you, at what point is it as damaging as when the corporations want you to dance to their own tune for pay? I know many writers who have answered the cries of their fans to the point where their work is virtually unreadable, so full of fan-insertions, in-jokes, and repetitions of the same tired stories and characters. This happens in TV all the time, and movies to a lesser degree, because both of those are much greater financial risks. In novels, however, publishers are willing to risk a certain amount of money on the percentage of the fans who are guaranteed to buy the book. At what point does the author say "no, that's just not what I should write anymore"? Even without the monetary incentive-- the fans are crying for it! [Case in point: the Firefly, Season Two campaign that's going on right now, despite Joss Whedon's assurances that Serenity was the end.] Err... but I digress. I'm less conscious of money than I should be-- even though it's a direct, value-oriented thing, I have a hard time keeping it in the forefront of my brain. Which is not to say I don't love money and the things I can do with it (mostly purchasing small, expensive electronic gizmos). But rather, money is only motivating to a point: Money is a major motivator when you can't afford to buy a baked potato for lunch. Money is a strong motivator when you're barely able to afford health insurance. Money stops motivating most people when they can cover their bills and tuck a small amount (never enough) into a savings account, and provide for their children, if applicable. For childless folks, money is even less motivating-- once I have enough to carry me into my nineties, exactly what more do I need? I would say that someone giving me $10,000 to run ads on my videoblog would just convince me to turn that particular domain into their corporate mouthpiece. Which is fine-- I have never been so proud that I was unwilling to sell what few talents I have for cash. When I was fifteen and in the throes of "teenaged writer angst," I was still looking forward to the day I envisioned, of myself selling ad copy as a corporate shill. Hey, it's only soul-destroying if you let it touch your soul. If I were given $10K for my vlog, I'd probably shortly start up my own personal free vlog space elsewhere, basically starting over, because I'd still need my own voice somewhere, independent and without strings attached.

--- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Chuck Olsen" I hope so too. I would love to see anyone that does what they love to do earn a living off it. I was asked once, "if money was not an object, what would you want to do for a living?" I said "live off the sale of my paintings". I got what I asked for. At the time, I probably wasnt quite ready for the ramifications of what that all meant. I guess in the long run, my adverse reaction to the whole advertising plan and vloggers is that I sincerely hope not to see happen to anyone else, what had happened to me. It certainly isnt jealousy as some had alluded to. Thanks David http://www.taoofdavid.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hey Dave, > > Wow. Thanks for sharing your personal history.

[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
Umm I don't think anyone is trying to make a "quick" buck. And even if say Rocketboom made some money I doubt that it could be considered quick at this point. We're talking about sustainability here. Not get rich quick schemes. They've been at it for over a year with no revenue. So you don't think that anyone should say even be able to recoup production or bandwidth costs some how (and I'm not talking about just advertising--subscription or donation models could work too)? Why would you think that? How about if someone is able to make a living for themselves doing something they love to do and are good at? Isn't it better that people have these opportunities to make a living doing creative work they enjoy than to have to support themselves by doing work that they wouldn't necessarily choose if they didn't need to support themselves? I guess my question is why are you so opposed to anyone making any money off of his or her own work? Do you believe in paying for anything ever?

[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
I know that I said that I was going to take my leave of this conversation but since my bud Chuck has now poked his nose in this...I gotta reply. Chuck. I do have Google Ads on my site and you are correct, I am not completely against ads. You yourself have even complained about CNN and the method to which they show their ads. No matter the subject. All their in-video ads are like this. Right? What bothers me about what could happen with in-video advertising is this. A vlog sells advertising and dictates that they control how the ad is displayed. They say the ad will be created by them and only run at the end of the video. It's a small sum of money. $500. Fine. Ad runs at the end. Transition to the future. A larger company becomes involved with this vloggers site and wants to buy an ad. However, they say that the ads must preroll the content. Vlog says "No way man! My site. My rules" Company says "we will give you $10,000 an ad" Vlogger thinks..."whoa" Company "...and we want to buy a years worth of ads" Vlogger realizes they're about to make a half decent living putting their home movie on the internet. Company adds "We have an in-house production team and we have our own ads" Ok. Vlogger now has the option to take the decent money and do what the company says or keep doing it their own way and earn a paltry sum. "Hmm...I'll take what's behind door number..." I have bills to pay. My wife is in the hospital right now. Thank god I have a job and pretty good insurance. But, should I be trying to make a living at vlogging, damn straight, I would probably take that money and run right now. A little personal history. I have a BFA. I used to do my art and sell my paintings for a living. I made a good living. One day an agent came calling and started representing me. Dealing my work to galleries across Canada and the States. My work became more popular and the demand for my paintings increased. "More paintings...more paintings" my agent would tell me. I was making an obscene amount of money and I was in my early 20's. Agent threw money at me and I did what he said. That lasted for about 10 years until it became too much and I stopped painting. Too much pressure to create. Meltdown. Today, if I get out a sketchbook and pencil, my hand shakes. I can't draw anymore. The thing that I once loved to do is gone because I couldnt say no to the money. I'm a Systems Administrator now. I hate it. Money. Art. Advertising. Morals. It's a fine line that people that decide to sell advertising in their videos will have to walk. I dont have an answer. I failed when it came to a decision of money over art and a balance between the two. Allow me to end with this. Chuck. Minnesota Stories. Sure...make a promo for Tao of David. Run it at the end. That's cool. All pro bono and let's see how it goes. If I get a substantial increase in traffic to my site, I'll purchase some in-video ad space from you and see how that is. Maybe the next ad, I'll make it. I can get lucky sometimes and do some half decent editing. Of course I'll pay more than that last ad. Play it at the beginning though. I want to ensure people see it. Or, how about I buy six months of ads. Different ones you know? Let's run some at the end...some the beginning. Maybe even on one of the vids, front and back. I'll pay a little more for that one. Oh...by the way. One of those videos you had on the site during my ad run, I didnt really like. Not sure I agree with what the guy says on his personal site. Little too right wing for my tastes. Y'know? Might want to think about not showing his videos in the future. And...

[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
David! You have Google ads on your site, as does Minnesota Stories, where you've been kind enough to lend your video. So you must tolerate some degree of ads. Maybe Google ads are unobtrusive and/or you can easily ignore them. Wouldn't the same be true of a video ad, potentially? Esp. after the real content? It's fine to draw the line someplace, but I'm just pointing out you must not be 100% against advertising on vlogs. Minnesota Stories will surely have a video ad someday (please...) preferably something "not evil." Not only to offset the growing costs of my growing audience, but because I'd sure like to do Minnesota Stories for a living if it's possible. It has so much potential, but I don't have the time or resources to give it all the care and feeding it needs to really blossom. Anyway, I hope you don't boycott the site when that happens. Heck, if you want to make a quirky 15 sec promo for your own vlog, I'll run it for a day as an experiment. That's definitely a "not evil" ad, of sorts. Let's imagine and try different ideas. There really aren't a whole lot of options for sustaining a vlog with a bigger audience, esp. if you want to devote all your time to it. Rocketboom is trying two of the main ones, advertising and subscription. The way they're going about advertising is very creative and innovative, I'd say. It's surprising it's taken them this long, given their massive audience and growing costs, to bring in some money.

No amount of debate from anyone voicing the virtues of making a quick buck from their online videos is going to change my opinion. The way I see it, they had the stones to gamble for a year making content for free - dropped everything and went after rocketboom. It's not a quick buck.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
you can take my old tv cable fees and divide it amongst yourselves. actually, take half - then it will seem like a good deal and not just a replacement the problem is: how do we divide it up and pay it out from so many to so many? this problem already has solutions in the music industry; some are mo betta than others, of course Bill Streeter wrote: How much would you pay for an ad free version of a video blog you really enjoyed?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
Hi Andreas, What you are referring to there is Subscription based TV. Nothing is free. The BBC charges us £120 a year just for having the technology to be able to recieve TV pictures, they call it a TV licence, it's like a dog licence except you don't have to take it for walks. As far as I know HBO is a Pay To View. As for the Danish, dunno, you know that bit. But then the question is. would you pay to watch Rocketboom? Ads are the only way to go for these guys unfortunately if they want to do this thing full time. That's my two pence worth anyway..

Actually I like their idea very much because a) they are having control of the ads b) they will fit more into Rocketboom because they will probably be the same style c) they try something new (always good) d) by trying something new they make some noise about it and it will probably attract more interested advertisers and maybe even viewers (I am at least very interested in how it will look like.

Well, as I am doing it more as a hobby here and there and not as professional as Rocketboom (which also means: not daily) I don't need ads as I can finance this with my other work (or just stop it). So I am looking forward to it :-) (and of course they really should make money out of this as they are innovative and sort of making marketing for the whole vlogging scene. Besides they also need to live from something) Christian -- http://mrtopf.tv Yahoo!

I think it totally kicks ass. bravo. there's so much space in this game - if they were off setting their costs by subscription someone else would be whining.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
bottom line in my opinion is thisif your audience appreciates your work and is at least half-witty as to why you are trying such ad placements, then they should be happy to watch 15-30 seconds of this ad in order to support you. if they are completely turned off by this approach and stop watching/supporting your work, then why would you care about them anyway?if they were watching and enjoying your work for however long they were 'subscribed' then they are the ones who were getting a deal consuming what you take the time to create and publish. if you are able to filter and use more quality ads then i dont think it should be looked at as bad or evil... what it is, folks, is reality.you're not going to keep Internet Video pure... whether a vlog or not... with your negative sentiment about ads and content creators who decide to use them for sustainability. look at it this way... if some subscribers drop off if you do use ads then you are filtering your viewer base with those who truly support you. screw the others. they can go blog about how ads suck and hwo vloggers are selling their souls, corrupting the culture and so on... you know... noisemaking. do what you want if it works for you. just make sure you do it well ;-)SullOn 1/30/06, David Howell < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Ah.

ANY form of economic system will suffice. Vlogging could easily be seen as a public service... radio and television are already regarded as "essentials", not luxuries. if computers aren't yet, they will be soon. community channels, tho far from glitzy, serve a function that a national network can't: they serve the community. they still exist today because they are useful... useful is generally quite boring i admit, u won't find an equivalent to American Idol, but that isn't their purpose. ~ personally i think having a vlog with commercials or product placement would be an interesting experience. it's gonna happen more and more over time anyway. the potential for loss-of-freedom is obvious, but that is always a potential when SOMEONE ELSES money is involved. might not happen tho. the sponsor may not care about the content (which is quite likely as long as the number of viewers stays consistent). it's only when a subject that is threatening to the sponsor on a larger scale comes up that problems arise. overall i think it'd be great to be one-of-the-first vloggers doing something like that... a footnote in a history book sorta thing. cool. i don't really see why it matters if a person does or does not use commercials: you want the money, go get it. you want the freedom, go get it. you want a mix, go get it. make your choice. why does only one of them have to be "right"? why not "right for me" instead? that's the whole point anyway isn't it? l8r rob ps ~ sorry if the earlier part of what i wrote sounds rude, but i was mildly offended by the crassness of those statements: apologies in advance. i'll try to avoid reading email in the morning from now on. - Original Message - From: Rachel Knight To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 6:47 AM Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?

I have no doubt that Rocketboom work their asses off to put their show out as regularly as they do. So, why can't you understand how important it is for them to make an extra buck by providing advertising? Most videobloggers don't put out 5 shows per week, so how are those devoted to providing this amount of content supposed to keep doing it? Also, what is better than making a paycheck from your hobby?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
Not a problem David, but if the ads are your choice whether to watch them, then they won't pay as much, as they are not guaranteed as large an audience to target. As most vlogging is a hobby, I don't think it will apply for a long time, but anyone who wants to go commercial will have to find the money somewhere. And ads are better than sponsored by. E.g., I love the program Lost, but if I see the ad for 118118 one more time, I will kill something. It's a relief to watch Housewives, that is sponsored by shampoo. And if I don't want to see ads, yes, I avoid the places where they have them, but that reduces my choice of what is available to me to watch, on TV or on the internet. But as you say, it is your right to choose what to watch. Rachel (Alternative Kitten)On 30 Jan 2006, at 15:47, David Howell wrote: Over the top? I dont think so.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
Point Andreas. But BBC and HBO are paid for by subscription (or in the case of the BBC, by TV Licence). There is no subscription cost for most vlogs that I know of, so that does not pay for it either. And the only ones the tax payer would pay for are Government sponsored/produced items. Everything costs money at the bottom, and everything has to be paid for. Who pays for the Danish public service provider - is that TV Licence, or tax payers? Ads are what is used for channels that are free or cheap to most, but are paid for via commercial sponsorship, ie ads.

I've not really been keeping up, I try to keep out of the Rocketboom social minefield, but I read the blogarithms link you gave. So if Amanda and Andrew will be making the ads and vetoing, I don't know how much response they will get, but then, 130,000 downloads per day, as global viewing figures and TV ratings go, is very little, but not bad for an internet site.

Don't you hate when you think of something awesome but don't grab hold of it first? I thought of doing this a couple of week's ago and I knew that it would be a successful publicity stunt, but I didn't do it because my parents still don't know about my show and I didn't want to do something so public without warning them first! The other reason I didn't do it was because Ebay may have taken down my bid for the same reason as their sister company PayPal closed my account; the dreaded "adult content" guidelines. There may be no actual adult content on my show, but these jerks over at PayPal/Ebay just love to crush anything sexual with their iron fists. Good luck to the Rocketboom team!

Certainly it's your right. As it is for anyone to push back.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?
yep.popular tactic on some radio talk shows where the ads are almost entirely transparent from the regular talk show bit.it works well.for video it will be interesting. rboom can command such terms. often, thats not the case. but i am happy to see andrew and amanda take control of their show and make sure its quality and its personality stay in tact despite playing ads. andrew, was curious i assume most to all watch rboom episodes all the way through right? most advertisers prefer to 'air' commercials before vids, not after... but if you are able to show that most eyes and ears are still there at the end, i suppose it doesnt matter too much.
