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.

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.

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.

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.

My first post to this group was on June 6th, 2004. The first message in this group was June 1, 2004. Mine was the 6th message. It's been a wild ride from 2004 to 2010. I remember the first Vloggercon in NYC in 2005 and the second in SF in 2006. My book is a nice how to guide for people starting out in online video. For some of us who have been putting video on blogs wince 2004, it's seems so easy now. When we started there was no YouTube, we were worried that our videos would get popular, because that would cost us money. Now we've got a myriad of free hosting solutions for have lots of great features. But there still are and will always be people starting out. That's where my book comes in. In the book I talk about choosing a camera, getting good sound and lighting, and how to conduct interviews. Also, how to edit and post, and how to go live. 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.

As we begin to aproach the final draft of the speakers for the event coming up in October, I am looking over the lst of speakers we have and I think we are going to be adequate this year. I am not sure if it will be stallar because honesty makes me say I am just not well versed enough in the video and podcasting world yet to know if we are doing the group justice. With that stated, anyone in this group that would like a discount code for the event in October, please let me know I would be happy to provide one 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.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
These are some great points Jeffrey and I am going to make sure that I voice them to the the leadership at Blog World and New Media Expo. To the extent that we are replacing Vloggercon or any other I'm not sure that is our intent. The idea behind putting a vloggercon type event together at Blog World is to leverage the already existing infrastructure and such. I am not purporting to belong to the group of vloggers, as I indicated I am just now getting into it. I felt I needed to get an idea of what it was before I could approach people and sound even remotely educated in their world. As an executive Board Member of the International Blogging and New Media Association I am also very interested in the education and cause side of vlogging and other ideas so feel free to give me some guidance in that regard. I think this scope of ideas are good to know in that respect as well. ...and yes, I agree Steve is a RAWK star! Jim On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 10:09 AM, Jeffrey Taylor thejeffreytay...@gmail.com wrote: Hi. The first thing to say is how wonderful I think Steve Garfield and his commitment to community is. He is such an asset to anyone who knows him and any community that he is a part of. I don't know him too well, but he is clearly one of the most valuable connectors around, and is a model for anyone interested in creating community on the web. Funny this should all come up...we've just finalized this year's Vlog Europe being in Paris and Clermont-Ferrand, France this year yesterday. We'll have dates and other things later, and you'll find more communications coming from Raymond and Loiez than me, as I'm stepping back a bit and letting the Europeans run their own European event now that I'm in San Francisco. With Vlog Europe, we have/had the added benefit of very easy accessibility to different cultures and different cities every year. And we've also been SUPER lucky to have faithful sponsors that get that we're not trying to be a major for-profit event like Le Web, New Media Expo or Jeff Pulver's events. In the end, though, I think the event has survived because there's a core committed group that really wants this to happen every year and this really frames the event and that the event has never completely lost momentum. Vlog Europe (and in my opinion, Vloggercon too) has avoided the temptations of being part of the larger tech conference/event circuit and being a for-profit conference. Once someone starts making money out of the deal, everything changes and, rightly or wrongly, there's some discomfort with that and things tend to fall apart. While the ethos of that era is highly influential to me and to many of you, I think any attempt to force the same outcomes we had back then would result in disappointment and possibly disaster. We've all narrowed our foci and changed, and I think this comes out of a realization that we are just one community in a larger, non-linear web video community that has developed. Because of this, people who would have organized Vloggercon years ago are knee-deep in other projects, and organizing a conference of the size and scope that Vloggercon covered would be a massive project. Presented with the choice of Vloggercon or teaching people to videoblog, starting advocacy projects like the Open Video Alliance and the artist/documentarian org I am working to create and others, many of us are choosing the latter. In short, I think many in the community that made up the two Vloggercons are more interested in using their influence and tenure in this community to drive change instead of organizing a conference with more of a general purpose than a conference with a specific purpose. To be perfectly honest, I personally have discomfort with any for-profit entity taking over the Vloggercon name and what those two events represent. This is not up to me. But knowing the people that organized Vloggercon, I am willing to bet the farm that they agree and that it is unlikely that those who own the rights to the name will allow anyone to take it over. The videoblogging culture that existed 2004-2006 has evolved and subgroups and completely disassociated communites of vloggers have formed, and there's no going back. The idea of bringing back how things felt back then is tantalizing, but I am afraid that that's impossible at this point. I used to feel like many of you disappointed that Vloggercon hasn't happened again. But seeing how things developed, I consider the Vloggercon experience to be whole, complete and appropriate for its time. That's not to say that another larger videoblogging event shouldn't happen and that I wouldn't attend, as there's so many people who weren't around when Vloggercon was happening and there's many perfectly great folks with commercial interests that could benefit from having facetime with other vloggers. I personally just don't think that event should be called Vloggercon. Just my

If YouTube and Google can't make it work, how the hell is anybody else supposed to? Google is actually hurting the whole online video market by providing video as a free 'loss leader'? While they can afford to prop up YouTube's failed business model by subsidizing their massive losses to the tune of half a billion a year, how can anybody else innovate sensible revenue models for online video? The Free internet is a massive illusion. http://tinyurl.com/c2akgl *YouTube set to lose $470M; most ad spots going unsold* According to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site owned by the richest Web site Google will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages. For a site that generates as much online traffic as YouTube, it would seem a no-brainer that profit is streaming in. But according to a Credit Suisse analyst, the most popular video Web site owned by the richest Web site Google will lose $470 million this year because it sells advertising only on a fraction of its pages. YouTube sells ads on less than 3 percent of the Web pages that could carry commercial messages, analyst Spencer Wang wrote Friday in a note to clients. To boost that percentage, Google needs to standardize ad formats and better demonstrate that ads on YouTube help sell products, he wrote. Weakness at YouTube led Wang to cut his 2009 profit estimate for Google to $4.68 a share from $4.83, according to the report. Google stock has fallen more than a third from its 52-week high last May, hurt by slowing growth in the online-ad market and by the decline in the broader stock market. Despite the growth of YouTube's user base, there is little evidence to suggest Google has been able to materially monetize this usage, Wang wrote. In light of the current ad recession, experimental budgets are being trimmed. YouTube's sales will rise about 20 percent to $240.9 million this year, Wang estimated. The company may spend $360.4 million for bandwidth to distribute its video, and $252.9 million to pay content owners for the rights to show their material, he wrote. Yahoo!

You know what? You're right. I stand corrected. I'm not an artist and have never been one so I don't really get it. I was always under the assumption, and from this thread, that some artists consider other artists who get successful as sell outs or lucky. I think my point is that the point of true art is not about profit? Can I assume that most artists believe that? If so, and you're an artist at heart, why does it bother you seeing success from another artist? As a marketer, I just see things differently.

So if the intent of creating a piece of art is to sell it in such a manner. is it still considered true art? Or is it marketing/creating a product? I'm not sure it can be both? If it can be both, then can it be argued that a website design or well written email can be art then too? Maybe I am an artist after all!

They get me thinking on my feet, my argument evolves. We have time to think. Yes, Quirk. It's true. Tons of artists make a living and there *is* a lot of money in art now. Investors have been piling out of other markets and into art. Look at the massive prices at auctions at the moment. And John, I don't think we 'get' networks with a higher order. I think we make them. We can now. But then how commercially successful they are depends on their accessibility and marketability, and how hard you work to bring them to people's attention amid all the noise. As Quirk points out, art can have commercial success. As Jen points out, Stan Brakhage never made a living from it. What he was interested in doing was not in that accessible middle ground. If you want to get rich from your art, make stuff with which you can aggressively pursue the public's (and the media's) attention. The reputation and value of much modern art is intertwined with the reputation and profile of the artist. The thing that the YBAs like Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin and Sam Taylor Wood discovered in the 90s was the selling of themselves as controversial, celebrity artists. They traded on sensation and beauty and controversy and their own reputations snowballed as a result. They used celebrity clients and newsworthy subjects and used mainstream news media to do this. Their breakthrough works were things like a shark in a tanks of formaldehyde, an unmade bed in a gallery, a portrait of Elton John. Now their work sells for millions. Obviously, there are many similar stories through the centuries. And often artists are just successful for being brilliant. But a lot of times, artists who are immediately commercially successful use either humour or controversy. Or both. As well as being brilliant. Hirst, Emin, Lynch, von Trier - all these people are shameless self- publicists. They have agents, dealers, PR. They make extreme works of art, say shocking things, come up with stunts, provoke controversy. They make themselves interesting to people who think they aren't educated or skilled enough to understand modern art. Even if those people then go to a dinner party and say The world's gone mad. A light turning on and off just won the Turner Prize. Kent is just telling you what these guys have been doing for years. Only Kent's just focussing on building and monetizing an online audience. These other artists are thinking about a wider, smarter public and media. Because the shows that go 'viral' from just being online are the ones that appeal to the blogger/geek/teen demographic. To reach a better audience who are going to value your work properly, you have to go out into traditional media and get their attention. You maniacs at Wreck and Salvage should be playing this game in the real world - your work is *ripe* for it. At the very least, you should be at the centre of media disussions about copyright and art. If you personally don't feel like making public appearances, that's fine - look at Banksy: for 10 years, nobody knew who he was - but then get someone else to put your work out there. Do shows, put yourselves in the news. Make appearances in welding masks. And John, your millions of views prove that your work is accessible - you battle with people in public, replying to YouTube videos, turning them into brilliant funny pieces of theatre. Even my wife liked that Christine Breese video. But when you get featured on YouTube, most of your audience is the Ask A Ninja target audience - hence the teenage trolls haters.

I can't speak for artists as I am not one (I'm a marketer). But as a person who does videos I know that making money from videos isn't going to happen for hardly anyone on as publisher model. Even the people who get millions and millions of views don't make much jack. But me, I do very well from the side benefits of my videos. Consulting gigs, book offers, etc. Having videos is like being an author nowadays, it opens doors, assuming you try to market yourself and them at least a little bit.

We have not as a community engaged the artistic powers that be nearly as much as we have commerical interests. If we had, Wreck and Salvage would have a gig at MOMA similar to Rocketboom getting its gig at Sony. Many of what you state is sound about how videobloggers are viewed, but I cannot see people on this list or in my sphere of contacts relentlessly pursuing multiple outlets with the same relentlessness. There have been more failed attempts with corporations amongst the people on the list than there has been in the field of fine art. There has been small victories, though. List-members Loiez Deniel and Gabriel Soucheyre's Videoformes festival embraces online video, and I hope they will bring in more when I return to see it next year. I don't see me calling this a fail as a finger-wagging naughty children sort of thing. Where I'm coming from is more of a call to articulate ourselves better and to seek out new contacts. Perhaps I should have said this has been a fail...so far. And yes, the status quo in the art world sucks as much as things suck in the commercial world, but that's partly why we need to invade. And I wager that the artists change faster than the corporations will. 2008/8/6 Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:rupert%40fatgirlinohio.org I totally don't agree with this part of your argument, Jeffrey. I don't think that most of those Galleries, museums, educational institutions, foundations, event planning organisations, collectives and others have been ready, willing or able to come into the fold. I totally agree that there people online works make video art I've seen in public art exhibitions with massive funding look like an episode of Sesame Street. - most video art in big galleries in London looks tired and old and shit when compared to the best video art that's going on in and around this community. But again and again when I've shown examples of great work by other people to people in the art world, their reaction is the same as the reaction of people in the commercial TV world. They reject it as of passing interest - the ephemeral work of hobbyists. They don't get it. They don't *want* to get it. You make it sound like it's our fault that they haven't got with the program and come into the fold. I don't think that's right at all. Nor do I think that they would be any more constructive in the organic development of personal video art than the commercial interests have been. And I don't see this community as failed, particularly in this way. This forum may be less active than it once was, but my individual connections with vloggers and artists tell me that nothing has failed. What I am most concerned about is that access to all our work will not be destroyed when the internet converges with home entertainment systems and portable devices. It's not all going to be about desktop computers and browsers for long. Commercial overlords will create interfaces to use with these devices which will prioritise their own advertiser-friendly mass-market stuff - devices which bring internet to your TV will have edited TV Guides - the iPhone has a YouTube app on the main menu which pushes featured content - they will take all the prime real estate. We need to create interfaces, apps, portals which will allow people to easily find independent, non-commercial content. Or we'll be shut out of easy access to all these devices and we'll lose the advantage we have now of free, open distribution.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: TrafficGeyser.com ?
The point I was trying to make was. If you make good videos, people will watch. But yeah, you do need promotion. However, finding a tool that will help people find your videos sounds bit spammy and wrong. Tubemogul just helps you get them up, and now gives you some extra non spammy ways to promote them. That's good. But there are other tools and services out that (of which I'm talking about) that assist you in getting video views and things like that. To me that's the wrong approach. I'm sure we all agree. Jim From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J.

RE: [videoblogging] Whole Foods TV
I'm not surprised with this story one bit. I had a similar experience with a large hosting company I'm a partner of. I did a very nice commercial for them evangelizing about their product, yet, when the PR team saw it they made me pull it down and told me I couldn't use it. Why? Because they're scared. Scared of losing control of their brand. Scared that legal is going to have them fired for allowing a potential outside brand message. In my case, also, the marketing team of the hosting company HATED the fact I was marketing their product better than them. Ego. PR and marketing departments are scared you know what about user generated content. Jim From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J. Rhett Aultman Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 12:51 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Whole Foods TV I would say not to count on Whole Foods to do this. I like them, and regularly shop at the one a quarter mile from my home, but my perception of working with them on doing a video has told me that they're happy to carry a greenwashed product as long as you buy it. Here's my story. Back around September, Amy and I approached our local Whole Foods about doing a video with them as part of our Greentime videoblog. We wanted to do a piece on how we successfully use our Whole Foods to buy much of our regular groceries yet don't break the bank doing so. Much of this was going to focus on using the bulk foods bins to buy in bulk (a great way to reduce packaging and get only needed amounts of a product) as well as buying seasonally and being more mindful about food and food purchases. We received nothing but enthusiasm from the store manager on up to his regional manager and ultimately the manager of PR for the entire state. But, because this was going out on the Internet, it required national corporate approval. At this level, their PR department regularly failed to return calls and became sluggish on emails to the point of being unresponsive. They asked for a full prospectus of the video, which I gladly gave. The prospectus explained that we wanted to teach people how to shop sensibly at Whole Foods and to encourage people to think of Whole Foods as a place they could get many of their groceries, rather than treating it as a specialty store with heavy markups. The focus would be on using parts of the store people often overlook, and would in general be very positive about our experiences with Whole Foods. We had suggested that *only if it would further cast Whole Foods in a positive light* we would divulge price information and our grocery budget. We also promised to give them final editorial approval and explained that we'd be flexible to their needs. After weeks of phone tag and being ignored in general, I finally got a response-- We don't do price comparisons. That was it. The *optional* part of a video that we'd do only if it were *positive* and which was *at their discretion* was too much for them. We basically agreed to find a middle ground between our experiences and observations and being a total out-and-out shill for them. And they wouldn't provide us a little bit of access to one store with a manager that was already welcoming us with open arms. When I sent an email back to the PR rep a day later asking if she'd overlooked our promise to use price comparisons only if Whole Foods desired, I got an automated email saying that she was no longer with the company and that email responses from her replacement would be a month or more delayed, and a sentence that basically said Don't call us. We'll call you. So, our experience has told us that Whole Foods at the top level doesn't want you to see much behind the scenes. They want you to see only what's in a product's labeling and to accept their promises that they're doing the right thing. Amy and I are still working out how to do that video without access to the store, since it seems that some parts of it could be done without them. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/greentime http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime The US health supermarket, Whole Foods, has a videoblog now: http://wholefoodsmarket.com/socialmedia/secretingredient Its just cooking segment, but the blog layout is nice. Id like to see video showing where their food comes from. like here's a new product we are carrying. here's a trip to the place where it was made. I increasingly am skeptical of organic/fairtrade-claims on packaging. Video would be a good way to bridge this gap.

[videoblogging] monetizing your videos
Thanks for all the discussion on the list about how to market and monetize video shows. Obviously, I'm trying to figure it out just like you are. Yesterday I launched one of my first new shows called the Daily Flip, and I'm using my www.scratchback.com tipping system to sponsor it. See here: http://www.jimkukral.com/somethingstorecom-creative-ideas-get-noticed/ I embed the widget next to the video, each video. And you can set the cost of each tip (sponsorship) to whatever you want, for a day, week, month, etc. I put mine on a week for $10 just to get things moving. But it could easily be $50/week, or whatever you think the market will bear for your show. Sorry for the blatant promotion of my stuff, but I thought that this type of thing could benefit many here who are looking to make some money from their podcasts besides pre and post roll stuff. I can make you a custom design widget too, or you can make your own, check the design page at ScratchBack. Jim [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Andrew, just to be clear, if you're putting ads in your youtube uploaded videos, you cannot be eligible (I believe) for the youtube partner program and adsense system, right? Jim From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Baron Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 9:30 AM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] Re: marketing and distributing videos Yea, its funny how licensing revenue isn't really leading to much online. Everyone wants to distribute your content for free in exchange for the distribution reach. But I have found this free off-site distribution model to be the most lucrative potential yet. This is because free distribution = 100% rights to ad sales. So when when we sell an advertisement and stick it on our show, it goes everywhere and we get 100% of the revenue. Not just in our RSS feeds but accross all of the websites that have Rocketboom. With a partner like YouTube for instance, we are enjoying being a part of the party as people discover us (we have only just recently started to gain a bit of an audience there but it adds to our count), and when we add an advertisement into the video, we can report that count back to the advertiser. Therefore, the result of distributing on other websites leads to an increase in off-site distribution, an increase in on-site distribution, and in both case, an increase in ad revenue. Let me know if Im missing something with your approach for in my mind, there really is no other way of looking at it unless you are in an exclusive relationship with someone that would prevent you from engaging in off-site distribution.

The $, Im not so concerned about. It sounds like a fair and positive amount for a gross figure. Its the issue of distributing nly on your site that Im curious about. In the second half of 2007, we underwent major growth to our web site traffic as a result of expanding off-site distribution. Up until just several months ago, we have not been on YouTube, Blip or any other flash sites, for instance. As a result of being on YouTube and the various other sites like Yahoo, Blip, Dailymotion, etc. we obviously increased our traffic off site, but that also caused our on-site traffic to grow tremendously, as expressed in at least one way here on this compete graph: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/rocketboom.com+askaninja.com/? metric=uv While Rocketboom appears to be in a lesser position than AskaNinja in terms of traffic, even with our recent increase in onsite traffic, we still get the greater percentage of our traffic off-site. Thus the data does not represent our site as well as a site like yours where you have purposefully tried to corral your audience onto your site. Taking that into consideration, according to the graph then (which is at least relevant to itself), in terms of annual growth, the data suggests that the Askaninja site has grown 15.3% over the last year compared to 537% growth for Rocketboom over the last year. Our offsite growth has been even greater, obviously. So my first conclusion is to suggest that one good way to increase your numbers and drive traffic to your website is to distribute off- site. If you can provide a better experience on your site then anywhere else, it can work more to your advantage. Anyway, these graphs are always screwy and its not a lot of info to go on, but I wanted to get your take since the growth margin is so great. :P On Jan 3, 2008, at 11:00 PM, Tim Street wrote: This would be a good question for Ask A Ninja.

I'm brand new to this group. Lurking for the first week, wow, a lot of chatter. Good stuff. Learned a lot already. My new daily web show starts next week, and I'm curious as to what you all do to promote you shows. 1. Do you just throw them on YouTube on your own channel and that's that? 2. Or do you use a tool like www.tubemogul.com to upload to multiple sites? 3. Or do I find a place to give my show a home like something http://www.wizzard.tv/ ? 4. Or just pick one, blip, viddler, veoh, youtube, etc. and stick with the one I like? I'm an online marketer with a lot of search and online monetization experience. I know that world very well. So I know that I can sell sponsorships to my show on my blog, www.jimkukral.com.

[videoblogging] Draft Blogger's Code of JOURNALISM Conduct
Speaking of codes of conduct, journalists who are protected by shield laws look to this as their code of conduct: http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp I'm with Enric here on the blogging code of conduct declaration. It's a bit too groupthink for my tastes. But for journalists who have an expectation of shield law protection, a code of conduct is vital. Josh Wolf is to be admired for the courage of his convictions. He is selfless in his beliefs and has sacrificed far beyond what most of us (myslef included) would endure. What he is NOT, in my soon to be flamed point of view, is a journalist. Not because he is or was an anarchist. I'm a registered democrat who is tasked with covering the White House as part of my duties for NBC. Believe me, this administration doesn't make a distinction between democrats and anarchists. When I carry that camera for NBC, I set all of that aside. In my mind, Josh failed the jouranalist test when he said this to my former colleague Kevin Sites: Kevin Sites: If there had been a situation where you saw a protestor beating up a police officer, or you saw them committing arson, would you have shot that? Josh Wolf: I wasn't there to shoot that. Kevin Sites: No, but would you have shot that? Josh Wolf: That's a question I would have made in that moment... YOU GOTTA BE FREAKIN KIDDING ME! Josh if you're a journalist you're there to tell the entire story the best you can.I wasn't there to shoot that??? There have been plenty of my assignments that have evolved into something that I wasn't there to shoot. Part of being a journalist is shedding pre-conceived notions as best you can. If that means shooting things that rock your world-view, than so be it. I was in Quebec City. I was in Genoa, Italy. I saw that kid lying dead in the street, killed by Italian paramilitary. I also saw the kid next to me pull a Molotov cocktail out of his jacket and hurl it at Italian police. In Quebec City, masked figures were hurling rotary saw blade down on police from rooftops. I've been gassed by police there and in my hometown of Washington, DC. Maybe it's because both the police and the protesters have disdain for media, but I shot everthing I felt was relevant. Josh Wolf is clearly an honorable, brave young man, as brave as any journalist, but I don't believe he deserves shield law protection simply because: I wasn't there to shoot that. Jim Long [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vergenewmedia.com/ --- Josh Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As far as I knew, no one was talking about imposing anything on anyone. I thought this was an attempt to identify a common creed that many bloggers and videobloggers could adopt as they share in its mutual values of respect, understanding, etc. It seems to me that there would be absolutely no reason for their to be one code either. Think of it like Creative Commons licensing; you could find a code of ethics if you choose that fit your own ideological viewpoint and elect to brand your site with it. Or, perhaps you can't find an existing code and choose to craft your own. Or, as you personally may feel could decide not to adopt any formalized code at all. Adding one new means for people to synchronize their own personal ethics as a media maker, or journalist, or whatever, may not be a bad idea. It is certainly a better approach than the rather ominous suggestion put forward by Deborah Saunders stating: The courts are going to end up deciding who journalists are, because, unfortunately, this administration is really pushing the envelope in jailing journalists, and it won't end with the Bush administration. It will get bigger as people point fingers in many ways, and that means the courts are going to decide who journalists are. You may not like it, but that's the way it is. I don't think that's the way it has to be, but I am uncertain as to whether such volunteer codes will help or hinders the governments efforts to register and license bloggers and other journalists.

Josh, I listened to the interview AND read the transcript. I heard what I heard and I read what I read. I didn't get the impression that they were out of context, but I take you on your word for that. Please Please Please don't think for one minute that I was implying that you were anyway uncaring for the health and welfare of anyone. I don't think that at all and if I did, I wouldn't have used words like honorable and courageous to describe you. I simply was commenting on your response to the hypothetical and what I thought I heard(i listened more than once) and read was an answer to the hypotheitcal question, in fact Sites offers two different scenarios using clearly conditional language. He was ratcheting things up a bit in the interview, but i'd say it was far from a confrontational interview. I take you at your word that it was taken out of context. I'm not one of these people who thinks you have to get paid to be a journalist, but i do think that SPJ code ain't a bad thing. If you ever want to talk more about these ideas, just drop me an email and I'll send you my phone number. Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vergenewmedia.com/ --- Josh Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jim, Taken out of context, the words, I wasn't there to shoot that. sound far different than the reality meant by the statement. When I state, I wasn't there, I don't mean that wasn't my mission or chosen task, but that I literally wasn't there to shoot it. Would a different journalist have stopped filming the one cop who was choking the Gabe Meyers and investigated what was happening with the other? Probably. Should I have, maybe, but the fact of the matter was that I didn't know what was going on and felt that what I was filming was newsworthy and there was no reason to walk away and turn off the camera. I learned that officer Shields had been injured when a woman came running towards the cop yelling officer down, shortly thereafter I tried to venture over there but my attempts to get over there were rebuffed by the police and it did not seem like a particularly good time to assert my press rights. The hypothetical question that followed was an equally problematic one, and the fact of the matter is that, I don't know, was not an attempt to dodge the question but rather my first response and an honest one. Had Keven provided some more breathing room in the interview, it depends on what I'm filming at the time and if I fully realize what's going on. would have followed.

I dont think I can ever attend a show like this because the first time someone mentioned fame being a currency or how I can have a deeper meaningful human relationship with my bank, there would be a strange noise coming out just below my nose, and I would have to leave lol. But thats just a person preference that I overstate, did I see a company in that vid thats trying automatic product injection? Steve Garfield was a breath of fresh air in that video. That subtitling service is interesting if they can get enough people to use it. Anything else from VON? Nobody here talked about that pulver net video freedom petition or the network2 contest winners, and I saw some press release about a Veoh-neetwork2 partnership, was much else video-related announced?

Re: [videoblogging] can i use digital camera for vblog ?
Michael, i did this vlog: http://dailynightly.msnbc.com/2007/02/a_day_in_the_li.html with this camera: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_a630.asp audio was pretty weak cuz you can't connect any external audio. Get a big (2gig plus) card and think about getting free software called MPEG Streamclip for free from here: http://www.squared5.com/ it turns converts the camera files to files that your particular editing software likes to see.

Johnny i got your email and am jazzed about being there!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Is Barak Obama Articulate? The Driving Blogger
Darren, For a reference point, I'm a guilt-free white man. I don't do hyphenated-american (african, northern-european or otherwise) I do think though, that words aren't JUST words. I agree with Gena on this one. The sentence He's very articulate can SOMETIMES (the key here is SOMETIMES) have the unstated conclusion of ..for a black guy. You used the word brilliant in your vlog. That seems to work pretty well. How about statesman-like? Anyhoo, I think the President, like him or not, was simply using it from the construct of being a person who is NOT terribly articulate in the realm of public discourse.

Nice, Jim - I enjoyed that slice of life. I have spent enough of my life on a plane that I'm glad I don't do that for a living. But... do they make you guys go through security before boarding?
