Most of the established corprate culture is to scared crappless or just to clueless to understand RSS feed, licensing for the intranet, there is such a lockdown on stuff anymore, it's crazy. And any forward thinking people are looked at like you wanna watch porn at work.. ( I happen to work for a very large Bank here in the Cincinnati Ohio, area.) I mean we just got consuled on our dress code again..on Fridays when we can wear jeans and a t-shirt, it has to be plain, no logo's, no nothingI mean I work in the basement, no windows, no light, with machines running all day and they are bitching because I want to wear a Batman t-shirtI don't even see the public for God's sake! (sorry, needed to rant) So no Rox, I don't know of any, I personaly think it's a great idea, maybe focus on small companies and such? I don't know...

That's a really good idea, Rox. You already have an infinite catalogue, and you're still doing episodes on a regular basis. Since your content is evergreen, they could start with episode 001 and never catch up. You can already guarantee them a full year's worth of daily content. I would assume it would require a company to have an intranet loop and have your show run all day, every 15 minutes or 30 minutes, if they have that much content in the loop. The other option would be to have some sort of player that loads the day's episode and have that episode switched each day so the employees could view your show on demand. Good Luck with that! :D Bill http://BillCammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Roxanne Darling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been noodling on an idea for over a year of licensing our content to companies for use on the intranet.

[videoblogging] Re: talkin' bout money
This is an excellent idea that I wish I had thought of! lol There are so many great points to doing this I just don't see how it couldn't work if you can just get your foot in the door somewhere. I'm not sure what kind of content you have, but may I suggest out-of-home content providing? You could offer your content to syndicate off line using this venue. You could send it to doctor's offices, health clubs, etc. Once established, you could then write a proposal showing that your content is fit for public consumption in professional venues already. This would put you in a better position for acceptance by large corporations. Out-of-home venues for content syndication is a moderately untapped market. So, right now, it's not so hard to get into. My content plays in 5 major cities, 10 million impressions per video per week. The company syndicating my content does not charge me to play the content on their platform and I don't charge them to show my professionally made content that happens to be pretty target-specific to their audience. And though I'm not getting paid for it at this point, it sets me up to propose to other companies that they pay for the content because I can prove it is desirable. Plus, the orders we get to make video have skyrocketed because of this new off line arrangement.

Yes I too have thought of medical environments; my parents have been in the hospital over the past year off and on and they are begging me for BW on the channel! It is the time thing - I want to get educated on how to move into these environments. I will be in touch with you off-list Sheila. Look out! Bill - thanks for the vote of confidence.

That really is a very interesting model. I would be so interested in how it goes for him. We get so many requests from other sites, both online and off, to utilize our videos, that this may, at some point, be an option for us. Sites like Hulu give you the same stuff you can see on tv and though popular right now, at some point people are going to look around and ask where the new stuff is. At some point I hope to see online viewers demand to have something different than what they can get on TV. Right now the technology is so cool people flock to it. Ooooh...I can see the same thing on my computer that I can on my TV. That's s cool! If content providers are smart they'll offer deleted scenes or something online so people get something new if they watch online. Or, they will turn to video providers such as ourselves who cater specifically to online audiences. I love the idea of sending computer content to tv screens. Of course, I would. But, it could potentially offer unlimited channels if your TV can access online content. That's my Utopian Video Society dream. lol Sheila --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, schlomo rabinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all One thing that is much more interesting than TALKING about how to make money from your videos is DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
