Youtube has been around for two years now. Is anyone making any cash (including 
google)? Is youtube promoting anything other than vloggers? Maybe if video 
sites started paying creative content producers the 'revolution' will occur. 
But so far advertisers haven't really jumped on board with 'unsafe' user 
generated content

So the only people who are making money from online video are those with clever 
solutions like 'the secret'. Buy a heap of people's emails interested in self 
help, build up suspense and a deadline, then offer a dvd and a cheaper option 
(download) and make a million just from download sales.

I think clever creators are using the likes of youtube to only promote segments 
of their work, saving the goodies for their own sites (eg dvd or download 
sales) or finding advertisers willing to pay for content before it is made, so 
it can be offered for free on video sites.

My concern with youtube is that they don't really seem to want to take it out 
of the bedroom. I am based in Australia, and I really can't believe the crap 
that is promoted. 

Let me give you some examples of three recently promoted videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwvLns2uEhE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRpCWvo7UdU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtx-hT7zFNU

So there you three promoted videos that have a go at children, old people and 
gays. Maybe some of the blame lays with Australian youtube community manager, 
Damien Estreich http://www.youtube.com/user/YourTubeNEWS, but youtube employ 
him, so surely have some say in what he chooses to be featured.

Is youtube really just the 'revenge of the nerds' giving losers the chance to 
air their grievances with the world! If so, I think their is room for an online 
video portal that deals with anything other than vloggers ranting in their 
bedrooms - documentary, travel, how to, etc etc

 huge
lawyer target on it, and barely incurs revenue.
   
And to make matters worse, Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, has 
 no
idea what to do about it.
   
Speaking to The New Yorker, Schmidt said that it seemed obvious
that Google should be able to generate significant amounts of 
 money
from YouTube, but so far, it has no idea what to do.
   
The goal for YouTube is to build a tremendous communityIn 
 the
case of YouTube we might be wrong, he said. We have enough

 not
have to make money right now, he said. Hopefully our system and

 can
change it.
   
But is changing it really the best idea? Since Google acquired
YouTube, the company has tried desperately to make something,
anything, from its $1.65 billion investment, but so far, it has
failed miserably. Of course, it thinks that 'pre- and post-roll'
advertisements may work, but

 Lets say you travel around your country, producing short videos at
 different locations. Lets say, market research (youtube) show that
 your concept is extremely popular.
 
 Lets say a local tv station contact you and want exclusive rights to
 your videos, in your country, for one year, to list on there online
 site. This means you can't list your videos on local sites that they
 see as competition (other tv station sites, newspaper sites)
 
 Lets say they ask you to name your price. 
 
 If you have produced these videos with your own funds, and know that
 to do them commercially would cost anything from $1500-$3000 per video
 
 WHAT DO YOU CHARGE THE TV STATION TO LIST YOUR VIDEOS EXCLUSIVELY ON
 THEIR SITE IN YOUR COUNTRY?
 
 Do you charge all of what it would cost to make them commercially? Or
 do you take into consideration the advertising revenue they may make
 from your content over a year, and charge more...or less?
 
 Or does one take into account that, due to this tv station being the
 biggest in your country, the publicity in itself, will be beneficial
 to your brand
 
 Where is online video at? Can we get the money that we charge to do
 commercial work?
 
 I really need to know...and soon...hypothetically :)

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What is online video worth - contract info

2007-10-04 Thread Mark Shea
Thanks for your indepth answer Bill, you are dead right, time is money.

I am constantly being contacted by websites and broadcasters (in the US) 
wanting to use my stories. At first I was keen to get them out there, now it's 
like 'show me the money'! I don't need anymore publicity that doesn't pay the 
bills!

Youtube is the king of online vid, I'm a partner, and (although ad revenue 
sharing will take time to kick in) you really cannot beat the instant comments 
and ratings the youtube community provide. It is a real litmus test in regard 
to which stories actually work.

If I do a job for a national broadcaster, they pay me. to own copyright of the 
finished product. But I think online video is changing this, we can own our 
vids and show them across several platforms, whether it be online at youtube, 
revver and metacafe, or on a cable station. I think this is great, because like 
a songwriter, we can earn revenue from our vids, for their entire life, and not 
just be paid a lump sum to kiss our babies goodbye. 

So if one broadcaster no longer pays all the funds to have something made 
(which they then own) do we accept that revenue will come from several sources, 
or from several regions?

Time is money, but in the end, the market decides what something is worth, I 
have no idea how much money a particular tv station's website expects to make 
from individual videos. In the end it will come down to a good ol' barter.

I will keep you up to date with how it goes. It's great though, this is how I 
envisaged online video changing the rules. Where a one man production company, 
with a good concept, can provide content to the largest tv station in his 
hypothetical part of the world.

 If a TV station or *anybody* wants exclusive rights to your videos,
 you've become a producer for them for the time being.  Your
 consideration of payment should include the value to them of not
 having to hire a producer (or production TEAM, depending on how
 intricate your work is) as well as how much YOU will benefit from
 being associated with the group making you the offer.
 
 Then again, that has to do with videos you're GOING to create, and the
 time it's going to take you to create them.  Time is Money.  Period. 
 When you're doing something for somebody, you're not doing something
 for yourself (work or pleasure), and you're not doing something for
 someone that would pay you what your rate is for whatever you're
 skilled in doing.  Working for someone for less than your normal rate
 is either a gesture of wanting to do business with them even though
 you know they can't afford you, a gesture of friendship, or in the
 worst case, a gesture of charity.

  WHAT DO YOU CHARGE THE TV STATION TO LIST YOUR VIDEOS EXCLUSIVELY ON

 Well, something like that varies depending on the market you're in. 
 In the USA, New York is the #1 television market.  It's going to cost
 you way more to get something made here than, say, in Arkansas.  So
 depending on where you're standing, regardless of how much your time
 is worth to you, that particular market won't sustain your rate.  Then
 again, the work is probably easier and less quality-based anyway, if
 that's worth anything to the producer.
 
  Do you charge all of what it would cost to make them commercially? Or
  do you take into consideration the advertising revenue they may make
  from your content over a year, and charge more...or less?
 
 I like what Kfir had to say in this situation.  If there's a benefit
 to you of being in an exclusive relationship with this station, such
 as the station publicizing your work AND YOU utilizing their promo
 department for an entire year, factor that in and charge them less
 since you don't have to advertise yourself.  It's like the difference
 between being staff and freelance.  You charge more as a freelancer
 because you have to cover your own benefits, and you're normally
 brought in during crunch-time or to fix someone else's mistakes.  When
 there's a story about fly-fishing, they can get the staffers to do
 it... plus, they don't

thanks border collie, spoke with a local entertainment lawyer, they don't know, 
closest case they have dealt with is organising contracts for online video 
produced by big companies (eg telecommunication companies) In this case, the 
rate was commercial rates.

I cant see there ad revenue for the vids being huge due to current cpm rates. 
But I really think 2008 we will start to see that change. Start of the 2007, if 
you told a website they must pay to list your content, they would laugh at you, 
it is interesting that now websites are willing to pay. I have already been 
paid to list my vids on an American site associated with a travel show (the 
amount really only covered my time associated with uploading, but across 20+ 
vids, made it worthwhile) But when a website wants exclusive rights for your 
country, then it is cutting out further deals with the competition, exclusivity 
should = $$.

I have to make the decision today, I wont be revealing specifics, but will give 
you some idea whether this deal ends up to be a good offer...or piss and wind!!

 Country - $300-$XXX.XX each video/year 
 
 Over X number of views you share in revenue Lot more to this. Do
 the math, revenue potential from another site like Blip or YouTube. It
 is a numbers game, need to know how many people see your stuff now.
 What is the ad structure ... blah blah blah
 
  
  Or does one take into account that, due to this tv station being the
  biggest in your country, the publicity in itself, will be beneficial
  to your brand
 
 Is the video online AND a part of their broadcasts? Broadcast will get
 you some new views if they are directing to you. If it all stays on
 their site, it really does nothing for you.
 
  
  Where is online video at? Can we get the money that we charge to do
  commercial work?
 
 TV stations work with a staff. You are handicapped by people that give
 their videos away just to be seen. You are in the middle. Average TV
 station will bundle the production with the ad time buy. So a ballpark
 estimate of cost to produce a 30 second spot is $200.00 - $600.00.
 Whether they are in the field or on stage, they might shoot for 30
 mins or 8 hours and still cut a 30 sec spot.
 
 To match what a TV station's cost might be:
 Local - $1000.00 - $1800.00+ each video/year 4 or 5 min video 
 Country - $1000.00 - $.00+ each video/year
 In both cases I am talking about video (product) you have already
 shot. If you start producing for them, it costs what it costs.
 
 Basically with shows completed, you are doing the same thing Getty
 images or a video library does. Selling/pricing determined by end use.
 
 In general, all things relative, Video that is produced for the web by
 a video production company is priced the same as video for broadcast.
 
  I really need to know...and soon...hypothetically :)
 
 Get an agent/rep or contact a local ad agency. You need to have
 someone on your side negotiating this. IMO what you want to establish
 is a way to license this to other affiliates of the network or to any
 other interested party. Oh, and add the cost of representation to the
 price you establish.
 
 Do you see what I mean?
 
 Sell your show to 9 other affiliates and you get whole (cost plus
 profit). Sell to 80 and you are in business.

closed, this could be an issue, but my hypothetical country isnt the USA, and 
(as yet) our legal system hasnt gone liability crazy, but it is interesting to 
see certain 'public places' restrict filming after Sept 11, and any filming 
done in a National Park (without permit) can incur a jail sentence or hefty fine

Cinema has a long and rich history. Currently there are many filmmakers
 who perform, to one extent or another, their works live, in forms ranging
 from performance/theater incorporating film (Miranda July probably being the

 performance using actual film. And so much interesting stuff in between.
 IT's kind of hard to point to resources about performance cinema generally
 because there are so many types, and they each have their own independent
 culture, dialog, community, etc.
 
 As for software programs allowing one to mix and edit live, there are oodles
 of them, but as the VJ market drives them they often have infuriating
 limitations (along with amazing possibilities) - for example, I use modul8
 quite a bit, chosen primarily for image quality and speed, but in order to
 get a clip to play once and then stop not on a freeze frame but end on black
 I have to either make a special version of it with a black frame at the end
 or be very quick with a fader or button on a midi controller. And no
 timecode-accurate markers, blah blah blah... but this type of software is
 getting better by the minute.

 I recommend watching the demo video on that page to get an idea of

 like audio samples, and then sequenced or triggered live using midi
 equipment, or both.
 
 The control aspect of a VJ setup is interesting. A lot of software
 supports midi, so we are talking about lots of interesting audio
 hardware, from keyboards to drum machines to sequencers,. Game
 controllers can be setup to send midi instead, so you could use
 steering wheels, joysticks, wii controllers, etc. Or just a keyboard
 and mouse.
 
 Brook's advice about formats is very good, depending on what you are
 trying to do, this stuff can take a lot of power, so optimising clips
 to be used live is an important part of the art.
 
 Anyways, yeah vjcentral and vjforums are good resources that could be

Hi Terry

I posted this comment 3 days ago: 

I'm a bit disappointed with some of the racist comments people have made with 
regard to my video. I could remove them, but I won't, because I think many are 
indicative of race relations in Australia. I accept and give credence to the 
democratic nature of youtube, where everyone has the right to comment, but ask 
that people think about whether they would be willing to make their comments, 
in front of a group of Aboriginal AFL footballers?
It is easy to be brave behind the safety of a keyboard.

I think people need to stand by what they say, I notice some of these racists 
seem to be trollers, posting such comments in various places. 

I wonder if we will ever see a defamation case on youtube? We don't have the 
same 'freedom of speech' amendment here in Oz.

Re: [videoblogging] r.e. Youtube and video views...strange!!

I've tried getting an answer from youtube about this, but no reply.
When I had a video featured in the travel category -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nkub-mlEuts

I posted this on my vlog -

As an exercise in seeing why Youtube is the King of online video, just watch 
how many people view my video over the next couple of days. 
Current number of Youtube views for the Byron Video is 908. That WILL increase 
by 1,000's, just watch!

Anyway since this video has been featured, it's number of views has only gone 
up by 20 (928)!! This is despite having been favourited 69 times and commented 
on 36 times, rated 55 times. Since it has been featured I've had roughly 6,000 
views of my youtube page youtube.com/overlandertv

Now if you look at the other videos featured in the travel category -
http://www.youtube.com/categories_portal?c=19e=1

You will see my views are a bit of an anomaly, with most featured vids being 
viewed 1,000 of times.

I just find it really odd!! Has anyone else experienced such anormalities?
A mate told me a video he had on myspace 
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individualvideoid=10269788
went up to approx 28,000 views, and then back down to 26,000

If a video is found on youtube, or featured, the number of viewers  and 
subscribers to your youtube site will explode, nothing can beat youtube for 
audience size. BUT does that translate to people viewing your own site?

I have found only 12 people have visited my site this month since a video of 
mine has been featured on youtube, this is despite my youtube channel being 
viewed approx 4000 times over the last week!

I recently made up a banner for my site which I posted on several myspace 
friends comments section. This little experiment has lead to 12,000 views from 
myspace. Mainly coming from the pages of high profile rock bands.

I try to find people who are doing similar stuff to me, tag them as friends

 Somebody bought up Twittervlog.com in May - and Twittervlog.net - and

 This was a while after I started Twittervlog at Twittervlog.blogspot.com
 
 They correctly predicted that one day I'd want to move to my own  
 domain.  In fact, I thought I'd bought Twittervlog.com, but something  
 went wrong with the transaction, and then I forgot to do it again.   
 And then this person pounced.
 
 Happily, I much prefer to be at Twittervlog.tv - so it's worked out OK.
 
 Oh, except for when my non-tech friends and family get confused and  
 just type in Twittervlog.com and get a Godaddy advertising holding page.
 
 I thought MAYBE it was someone who knew my site, or maybe it was just  
 someone random who was buying up domains that began with Twitter -  
 twitterblog, twitterpodcast, etc - but I didn't look into it.   
 Twitter's not my trademark, after all...
 
 So anyway, I just typed in the URL of another vlog on this list - and  
 guess what: the same Godaddy page came up.  Turns out I'd got the  
 real domain one letter wrong (it was spelt funnily on purpose), so  
 I've gone there now.  But the lookalike domain was taken by someone  
 else.
 
 Now, I could be wrong, but it occurs to me that there might be  
 someone reading this list who's buying up the domain names of the  
 blogs he or she sees here.  Perhaps in the hope that we'll try to buy  
 them back.  Perhaps to try and get advertising dollars from those  
 people who enter the domain wrong.  Perhaps because they're addicted  
 to a sort of domain-buying goldrush mentality, and they have some  
 money to burn in speculation.
 
 If that's the case, then whatever the reason, I think it's shitty  
 behaviour - and it makes me sad.  Whoever you are, if you're reading  
 this... you're probably smiling and sneering.  I don't really care.   
 I don't expect to appeal to your better nature.  But what you're  
 doing is pretty distasteful, and you're probably a pretty  
 unsuccessful and unhappy person.  Does this really make you any more  
 successful or happy - or does it just give a short, cheap thrill?   
 Next time you're on Godaddy, stealing someone else's ideas and  
 identity, stop yourself for a second- and then go and spend that  
 money on a session of therapy.  Or buy yourself a treat.

It's great that you are in a position to have the time and resources to have 
your blog as a hobby. 

I think we are coming from different motivations. I ran a commercial video 
production business, and one day realised, that what I got into it for was to 
tell stories, other people's stories, not video sport, real estate, weddings 
(although weddings are fascinating to be at as an outsider) For me, I see the 
net as a way to get that work, which wouldnt get on a commercial network, out 
there, and maybe make some $$ to continue it.

Documentary has always been the poor cousin of feature films, but
the internet has provided opportunities for niche filmmaking eg ‘Iraqi 4 Sale – 
The War Profiteers’ doco. Robert Greenwald (director of Xanadu) asked people 
over the net for $20-$50 and raised $200,000. He allowed the finished film to 
be screened anywhere, backyards, pubs

Australia, and the government tourism agenices only want to steal your ideas, 
and the tourism operators dont always understand cutting edge like online video 
programs...and then you have the likes of lonely planet, that try and eat up 
all the small fishes, stealing ideas and paying a pittancedo I sound pissed 
off...he he

From experience, I would say the best way to get into video blogging full time 
is make ONE pilot program, and then hit your advertising market, ring them 
(skype is cheap for national calls) visit them, tell them what you plan to do. 
See what interest is out there. And try and keep your idea under cover. I've 
had concepts stolen by bigger players, and there isnt much you can do.

I did things the wrong way, started an online video site in 2001 (ozdocos.com) 
just went out there and did it (funding my travels myself) and only now, trying 
to sign up advertisers, but then again, only now, do I believe the time is ripe 
for online video.

Unfortunately youtube has set an ugly precedent, user generated content is 
great, but most creators are happy to just get views, if you want to get moolah 
for your hard work, that is more difficult.
For example, I can list my videos on lonelyplanet.tv, travelistic.com, and 
numerous other travel video website...but none of the bastards pay, dont even 
share their ad revenue.

I'm interested to know WHO is making a living from video blogging? I dont think 
anyone is? And I'm also interested to know what google pay there partners, but 
every partner is tight lipped, even Nalts, who only got the deal due to the 
youtube community.

I know here in Australia NO ONE is making a full time living video blogging, 
commercial work must take precedence over vlogging.

I hope I get a reply to this, an honest reply, from someone making a go at 
vlogging

Thanks!  Yeah, getting sponsorship is great.  I'm grateful, even
 though it's not a lot of money.  I know this:  the next round of vids
 will be worth much more.  Probably double.  My show is sponsored by
 the well-funded Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Corporation
 (http://gophila.com) and their 'hip' what's-happening-now blog
 http://uwishunu.com .  For them it's all about image and promoting the
 city as a fun place to be.  We're getting money for 24 episodes.  
 
 I'd say for anyone to videoblog full time, it depends on their
 circumstances.  Me, I'm a young (relatively!) starving artist.  I'm
 used to living on a super small budget.  But I'm gettin' married to my
 co-creator, Audrey in the Fall.  I'm sure I'll need a bigger budget then!
 
 Ultimately, I'm looking to balance out what I'm doing professionally.
  Video blogging is only part of that

  That's cool that you have sponsorship for your videoblog... Good luck

  So how much MORE would you need in order to do your show(s) and
  nothing else to make money... IF that's one of your goals in the first

   Hey Bill,
   
   Full time jobs?  Eh.  Who needs 'em.
   
   Good video is becoming more and more valuable as more people watch it.
Fan base, quality and regularity are still scarce in this world, but
   the demand is high.  The way I see it, those of us who are experienced
   and savvy are going to make money.  Good money.
   
   I started earning a couple hundred bucks a week through sponsorship of
   the Cheap Dates Video Podcast:  http//cheapdatesphilly.blogspot.com
   
   I also do my free stuff as a hobby: 
  http://livemusicjournal.blogspot.com
   
   Even the free stuff is getting attention from record labels, for
   example, who want to use it on their sites.  It ain't gonna be free
   foreva!
   
   The prosumer class is rising, friends. 
   
   Cheers,

I did read that Bill

and it still sounds like speculation to me

I've asked for more than
  $1k a week to make three weekly three-minute episodes. We'll see how
  far down I have to negotiate.

cold hard facts are what im after buddy

 I think that would cover a lot of people's expenses, $4k/month.  Call
 that around $350/episode for a three-show week.
 
  I've also signed onto two video projects for $500 per day (including
  writing, production, and post).
 
 That's interesting.  Video meaning television, corporate,
 independent, internet?  I'll also assume that you're talking about
 a short-term involvement and not weekly?
 
  I charge more for anything commercial (an in-house promotional video)
  or anything that requires original writing than to cover an event.
 
 Makes sense.  Time is money.  The more time you have to take and the
 more thought you have to put into it, the more you're bringing to the
 table and the more you need to be compensated for your part in the
 production.

 Matt, who leads the Wordpress community, and Eric, the project manager
 of Blogger, each did a presentation/QA with the vloggers.
 
 Here's what we found out:
 Based on what we've asked for...Blogger is going to let you upload
 video IN THE POST soon using google video. It'll be Flash and/or QT.
 Plus blogger will have RSS 2.0 feeds with enclosures. I have actually
 seen this work with my own eyes. wow.
 
 Matt from Wordpress seemed pleasantly surprised to see all the things
 videobloggers have done with WP. Since WP.org is obviously a bottom up
 community, he encourages us to get more involved in their development
 community.
 We showed them the community we just started here: http://showinabox.tv/.
 Basically its a theme specifically designed for a regularly published
 videoblog, a new vPiP that allows multiple formats and feeds, and a
 new Pledge Drive that lets you get your audience to pledge money to
 you automatically each month through paypal.
