hi, newbie to the
site (and to videoblogging) but this caught my eye:
> What type of site is most
likely to gain more readers
> In my opinion, that would be
themed content
>> more difficult to produce
than stuff about their own life.
>> Themed content has
to be gathered, written, produced, etc.
>> That takes time
and/or money. That's a higher barrier to entry.
wonder of it isn't just
"themed content i have a reference point for" ?
i think people tend to have an
innate sense of the story / content
around familiar subjects they like
or care about... i love playing
ultimate frisbee, and altho i know
diddly about video right now, i
think i'd have a bunch of ideas on
that subject to try out.
anyway, i hope my intuition is
correct -- my startup is running a
contest next month on our www.simplyfired.com site to collect a
bunch of alternative &
fun videos about getting fired in the
workplace,
kind of an "office space" or "dilbert" theme. not sure how
much
interest we'll get, but we wanted to choose a subject where the
average person would feel some connection. most
everyone has at
one time or other had some fear of
getting fired
(and in my case, perhaps
more than a couple times ;)

I think you're right about that. That's why TV uses themed content -
they have to appeal to more than the individual. It's way to
expensive not to.
The other thing about themed content is that for most people (I'm
guessing here) it's more difficult to produce than stuff about their
own life. I know my own life really well - I'm the expert on it and
I'm on the scene while it's happening everyday. Themed content has
to be gathered, written, produced, etc. That takes time and/or
money. That's a higher barrier to entry. I think that's why you're
having trouble finding it.
