Re: [videoblogging] Blog Travel Time/Costs?
That is great advice Roxanne. Especially about the end part being happy inspired and fresh. Jim On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 1:11 PM, Roxanne Darling oke...@gmail.com wrote: OK _ that sent by accident, Think also about: Can you stay a little extra time there and book any other work or vacation? That might influence things. I often try to get another client or two in situations like this, and spread the travel costs among them. It is not unusual for people to charge a percentage of their normal day rate for long distance travel. So you could also ask for that directly. Yes you are not working directly for them but you are giving up other work time for them, them being the client. Can I assume you are getting all travel costs reimbursed as well? Then I consider the client - their size and budget, how much I want the job, how much will it help me and my portfolio, what can I get done on the plane, etc. It may be that you can book some storyboarding type time and actually do that on the plane to get compensated for your work and your time, without having to bill directly for travel time. Hope this helps - as you can see there are a lot of options therefore no wrong answers. Just do what will make you feel good about going and do a superb job for the client! It's in their best interest for you to be fresh, happy, and inspired. Aloha, Rox On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 9:05 AM, Roxanne Darling oke...@gmail.com wrote: David, Congratulations!

But the gig itself has turned out to be not much more than half that travel time! I'm charging my usual professional hourly rate for the gig itself, but does anyone have any experience on what/how to charge for the travel time in situations like that? If it was like a week long gig I may have just written off the travel time, but in this case it seems like a crazy situation. Any insight appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [videoblogging] Streamy disaster
*flawless* is the technical delivery. It's not that hard to get sound right. You just have to hire a live event sound engineer who knows what they're doing - and a live broadcast mixer director engineer who know what they're doing (I mean, it's LA, for God's sake). And do rehearsals and sound checks. And if you can't do proper rehearsals in the venue, don't use the venue. If they were expecting 750,000 viewers, it should have been ALL about the flawless live streaming of the content and perfect sound, surely - not about ohmygosh the Orpheum Theatre and the self-satisfied LA types in the room? And above all, given that it's about web video, it should have been short.

Unfortunately there is a part of me that is wildly entertained and amused by the streamyfail, considering it to be some kind of justice on a certain level. This isnt fair, as no doubt lots of blameless hard working people have been hurt by the streamyfail, but I suppose its a natural consequence of my disdain for the way some of the more visible parts of the 'industry' went, shoddy emulation of the existing media. What better way to symbolise two worlds colliding, and so much wasted potential, than to have a slick awards show humbled by technical glitches and naked people.

David, I think another lesson to learn here is also that you can get anyone to get your site taken down just by the accusation of impropriety. If you think about the other side of that coin, you can see someone abuse that power as well.

Jim Turner I did email the owner first, giving them the benefit of the doubt that they may have just copied my site as a temporary template or something. But once I realised it was clear deception and they were real-time leeching and modifying my site for profit, that was it, take-down notice it was. I also wanted to stop them from simply pointing their script at someone else's video blog instead of mine, and the only way to do that is to have their account suspended. I don't think it's that easy to get another site taken down just by accusation. You do have to prove to some human at least at the web host that they have copied your content. They (I'm hoping) wouldn't just shut down your site based on an accusation without at least a cursary comparison between the sites/content in question to make sure the claim has at least some basis. BTW, this is the actual host in question: http://www.pronethosting.net/company/legal/terms-of-service/#cv They sound quite through and not the trigger happy type. But I suspect most hosts would err on the side of caution and suspend the site if there is at least some reasonable evidence of violation. If there is no evidence however, I'm sure they'd just ignore the request, or in the case of this host, refer them to the authorities.

Re: [videoblogging] Turnhere free videos
As a full disclosure Tom, Lijit is a previous client of mine. The Lijit widget is paid for on its end buy advertising. The reason it offers up other sites for the serach term is because it will provide information of the people in your network. You can configure the search results to default to your own blog initially and then to your network of friends and their blogs, then to the web etc. I am curious whether you also waited until the reports are sent out on Sunday evening. It provides valuable information about what searches brought people to your site, searches that people made on your site that do not provide results etc. The Lijit search function also allows people to get to other related search results within your site that might also interest them It will increase your page views from that standpoint. It may be that they can turn off ads on your search results and they actually have a revenue share from that end. I'll let them answer your questions directly and I know Tara Anderson and her staff would be happy to answer all the questions to your satisfaction. If not let me know and I will help where I can.

Re: [videoblogging] Best Video Sitemap Tool
Julian,
Thanks for this question. I also need to begin to generate this type of
content for embedding in client blogs and websites etc, and I am reluctant
to get a professional rig when I see people doing well with a Flip or
otherwise and have been worried about better audio.
I think the Kodak Zi8 is leading the way with external mics and ease of use,
but I also hear stories of it malfunctioning and not working up to standards
of those that believe mics are important for the sound quality of a
professional video.
I am also very interested in what the experts here are doing and what they
are using on a budget.

I've interviewed a number of Yahoo! videoblogging group members. I made a post today called, Where To Buy Get Seen. It's a very simple post showing where people can order the book. It's at: http://bit.ly/buy-getseen In addition to that the book has a website, http://stevegarfield.com/getseen Over there I'm posting video interviews that I made for the book and there are discussion forums for people who read the book who might have some questions.

Re: [videoblogging] BETA TESTERS?
Kevin I wouldn't call it a fiasco necessarily but more of a paradigm shift in the way marketing of products occurred online with users. The grabfest you refer to was probably BlogHer held in Chicago where every brand possible was trying to get their products into the hands of a blogger that might write about it and send them traffic links etc. We had a similar attempt to introduce brands to bloggers at Blog World Expo which was more of what we called a speed dating moment where bloggers could sit down with brands and see how they could collaborate. Meaning how can we get you to expose our products to your community. This is the new age of marketing in the social media world and everyone is falling over themselves to figure it out. I was referring to when the bloggers had figured out that they had leverage to the company brands in community and readers, or listeners or the like. The review products are flying off the shelves to bloggers and perhaps now even the video world to get them to help sale the goods. This is in part why the FTC has now called out the disclosure regulations related to review products.

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon - why only two times?
Thanks Jay for mentioning BlogWorld New Media Expo. I would be happy to discuss a vloggercon event as a co-located event at Blog World. We have partnered with other events, i.e. Blogs With Balls, etc., and I would love to have a bigger presence of video at our event. Feel free to contact me at j...@blogworldexpo.com We dabbled into the world of video at our event but we could use some boost to our efforts.

What happened in 2007? I think it was Steve who wrote (not literally!) we need a bit time to have energy for the next passionate conference. But if it had been an overwhelming success wouldn't it have taken place in 2007? - Wasn't the vloggercon successful? - Did the vloggercon mean too much effort (maybe for earning no money - I don't know the details for the organisers)? Hopefully it's not a redundant topic - I was searching and reading for one hour. No good answer. I think because they were so fun, it created a lot of expectation for the next ones to be better. Difficult to live up to. Also putting on events with little money takes its tool. It's several months of full-time work. There was something special about how spontaneous and crazy Vloggercon was. An ambitious mix of Europeans have put on Vlogeurope every year since 2005: http://vlogeurope.com Adam has put on http://vloggercue.blogspot.com/ a couple times. (2005/2007) http://pixelodeon.org/ was a related event put on by this community in 2007. Bill Streeter did a great job organizing http://twitter.com/vloggercamp in 2008...but the crash of the economy and high gas prices cancelled it. There are other online video events that have popped up as well like New Media Expo (http://www.blogworldexpo.com/) and NewTeeVee Live (http://events.newteevee.com/live/09/). Different beasts though.

Re: [videoblogging] Live Streaming Blog World Expo
I really appreciate the offer of help Roxanne. I am actually wanted to get your help for www.rethinkhawaii.com very soon. I think we can get you on the agenda there for sure if you are not already booked by the other organizers. Part of the other propblem is we are under tight restrictions with the Internet provider at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We have to have their service and you either like it or lump it I am afraid. They can charge anything they want and make it as good or bad an experience as they deem fit. I really want to allow others that cannot make the trip to at least see a a little of what they are missing. I have received a couple of proposals and they are in line with what I was thinking and you are very correct when you say people and cahs for bandwidth. I have a meeting set soon with Ustream and with Livestream, but alas most companies want to charge me to feature them and frankly I don't have the cash part yet. BTW if any of you are planning to go to Vegas in October and have not yet signed up I have a special code for the discount I would be happy to pass along to you.

Now with the advertisement out of the way, I am looking for someone to shoot some quality video and help us live stream the event at Blog World. Can anyone help with that? I am also thinking of live streaming myself as I attend the event and provide somewhat of an behind the scenes look at what goes on as well as through the eyes of its social media director. Can anyone help with this? Please let me know. We are also thinking of having a stage set up for attendees to use for their live streams, their podcasts or a backdrop for video they want to take.

Videos that appeal to the 15-25 male demographic continue to rule - they seem to have the most time to watch these and make them popular by default.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
I'll confirm what Steve has said. I just joined the group not long ago as I have started www.socialmediasphere.tv and wanted a place to learn more about this crazy video world which I am falling in love with. I am the conference director and the social media director for Blog World and New Media Expo and as stated we are now merged with the New Media Expo as of December and would love to have a Vloggercon in Vegas. Vegas is really looking to make things awesome for visitors as the economy is really cutting into their business so it is really affordable. You can contact me Steve at Jim at Blogworldexpo.com and my cell is (303)594-6276 Right now we have opened the speakers proposals and we are taking them through May 31. Feel free to submit anything in that regard. I look forward to your comments and will pass those along to our CEO who is in Germany at the moment, but I will be in Hawaii with him and a couple of weeks. Yeah dirty job but someone has to do it... I am actiually trying to figure out a way to live stream my trip to Hawaii and have had my Twitter followers pick my itinerary so I can video what they choose and allow them to come along for the ride. Please let me know if you guys have any questions.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
two cents. Jeffrey 2009/5/14 Rupert rup...@fatgirlinohio.org I'm not sure it's a question of nobody wanting to run it. I think it's more a question of people not wanting to travel halfway across the country/world to attend a vlogging event. You know that I love this community, and so I'm not being negative about it. Just being realistic about what I see as people's priorities and interests. Bill Streeter tried valiantly to organise Vloggercamp last year, and there was a lot of interest from people signing up on the wiki - but in the end people just weren't motivated enough to pay the registration fee, let alone buy plane tickets. Pixelodeon got quite a few people attending because it was all about screening lots of videos in a posh venue. But even then most of the people who attended were from the West, I think. And that was two years ago, and things have changed in the vlogosphere and in the economy. The original Vloggercons and Vloggies worked because of the excitement of vlogging being so new. I wish I'd been able to attend. There's a small number of people here who do attend podcamps, new media expo, etc. The people who make their living from social media that you see on Twitter constantly tweeting about the latest social media trends and business opportunities, and telling you how to blog and make money from blogging. But this doesn't include the majority of vloggers, I don't think. And I'm not sure that most of the vloggers I know would be that into attending a big corporate Las Vegas expo as opposed to something much more intimate. What does anybody else think? Maybe Jeffrey could pipe in with his experience of organising VlogEurope?
