Last year, one of our readers launched Brandfame, a self-service online video product placement agency. A similar startup, Storybids, just launched with two key features that could coax more advertisers into the game.
Founders Joseph Morin and Juan Prado have been developing Storybids for over two years, and it shows. The interface is polished, with creators […]
First, the good news: YouTube introduces buzz targeting, where advertisers get the option to have their ads automatically matched to videos experiencing a spike in views, faves, and ratings. Pretty smart of YouTube.
Now, the bad news: It only works for partner videos. Anyone who’s been on YouTube long enough knows that surprise viral hits very […]
The two great things about advertisers going straight to video creators are (1) all revenue goes to the creators, and (2) the ads stay regardless of superdistribution. Nadim Elgarhy understands this, and he wants to make the process easier through self-service online business matching.
Last year, he put up an online video product placement agency, Brandfame. […]

Regardless of your politics, Obama definitely leads when it comes to onsite video views. His site got 518,000 video views in March, beating Hillary’s 351,000 and McCain’s 38,000.

The first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was organically superdistributed well enough, but apparently that’s not enough for Paramount.
Paramount is counting on the small, portable applications that can be posted on blogs and social networks to maximize the exposure for its trailers. The first “Skull” trailer, released in March, […]
Now here’s a rather strange approach to video monetization: affiliate links and hosting with no destination. Amazon just launched Your Video Widget. Amazon affiliates can now host videos on Amazon and have selected affiliate links appear at various points during playback. You get a video widget, but no video page.
This would work so […]
Google AdSense powers the Long Tail of the Web’s text content, and now it can power the Long Tail of the Web’s video content. Adopting YouTube’s InVideo ad format, AdSense for Video is now open for beta applications. Before you sign up to become the next Chad Hurley, check if you meet the beta signup […]
You know, if you think about it, monetizing original video content isn’t rocket science. You post your videos on your own site with ads, either on-site or in-video.
