I'm happy to share a few thoughts I have on the matter. If they turn out to be useful, perhaps we can meet for lunch some day. I have the feeling we'd get along royally...<br><br>First, forget about the CPM model. Think in terms of flat rates per issue (specifically, per video).<br><br>Second, make it a point to space out your issues. They tend to come out in clumps. Space them out to no more than one a day, 5 days a week. Then you've got something a little more manageable to work with, and companies could purchase sponsorships in weekly, monthly or quarterly commitments.<br><br>Third, I don't think it's rude or interruptive to begin your interviews with a word of thanks to a specific sponsor (while their logo and clickable URL appear on the screen), perhaps endorsing a particular special they may be offering to your viewers and then move on from there. But don't give those out to anyone who pays. Make sure they're someone you personally believe in. Your endorsement is worth a lot in many circles.<br><br>Fourth, you do two types of things with companies: you have conversations with the CEOs and you have demos. I don't think it would be unethical to charge the company a flat fee if they want to do a demo, especially as long as you have a disclosure statement up front that clearly says that they paid for the right to have their demo in front of this audience.<br><br>Fifth, when you do advertisements, you might also want to think of RocketBoom's example. They are charging $60-80,000 per week to sponsor their daily 3.5 minute show. You probably don't have the same mass audience they do, but I'd be willing to bet you attract a good crowd that is steadily growing. Think about them when you set your rates.... and remember, they make their advertisements fun and unique when they do them.<br><br>All that said, I'm nowhere near the audience size you have probably amassed by now, so this will be pie in the sky thinking for yours truly for the foreseeable future. But all of this is based upon my experience in running a very lucrative, but small and focused web site in the past (ClickZ) and what I might do if I were in your enviable position.<br><br>Hopefully, this is a direct answer to the questions you raised which I don't see truly addressed above.<br><br>Keep up the great work, dude.

Google Ads were nice at first, but I\'m willing to bet a great deal of people have learned to tune them out just like ordinary banners. RSS certainly doesn\'t help static ad revenue either. Maybe it isn\'t that way now, but advertising should be paying more for 1000 views of their ad (even if it\'s just a still frame at the end of a show) in a video than 1000 views of an ad on the side of a website. I\'d say it\'s worth at least 10 times as much, 20 times as much if their ad is a commercial at the start or middle of a video.<br><br>Also, the easy way to kill bandwidth costs is to use services like cachefly and libsyn to host your videos. Pay for the space you need and get unlimited bandwidth.</div>\

Make sure not to go through a video network because they are going to sell your videos for bottom rates. Charge $30+ IMO. If you have an audience, advertisers will buy them.<br><br>Try distributing your videos to other sites like Revver, iTunes, Google etc where you do not need to host them. You will drive traffic to your site (and in Revver\'s case make money). Typically you would distribute your older videos, and get them to come to your site to see the new ones.<br><br>Work a deal out with companies like LimeLight Networks so you can purchase a "tiered" package with a set amount of bandwith rather than streaming directly from your site. If you negotiate correctly, this will save you money.<br><br>This is just a quick brainstorm for some ideas for you.

I personally hate that you switched to the H264 codec, and it sounds like to encode in H264 it takes lots of time and resources.<br><br>Why produce such high quality, large files? Just to justify the purchase your new swanky dank camera?  It is not like you are producing killer nature videos that need to be visually pleasing.  You are doing interviews...  In offices.  Yes, I need to see the subtle color gradations between the desk and the computer monitor..<br><br>Maybe if you had a couple of different formats to choose from (Including one for small, mobile screens), then not everyone would have to download the super big high quality version.  If you had different file types with their respective size, then maybe people would choose the smaller files...<br><br>Why would they download a smaller file?  Because not everyone has a T1 connection.  Some of us have really crappy (and slow) DSL connections.  I would much rather download a "lower quality" version that was 50MB than a super high quality, large screen 200 MB file.<br><br>Anything is better than H264, since I can\'t watch the videos encoded in H264 on my low-end IPAQ...</div>\

But, there are other ways.<br><br>I\'m with you on the sponorship idea, your deal with Seagate sounds great.<br><br>My thought is this: You have to make great content and build a dedicated audience that is of interest to specific marketers and sell sponsorships. The sponsorship need to be special -- customized -- like the cool post rolls on Rocketboom.  Or they can be micro-sites within a blog with a sponsors video content. We have to think about more than just banner ads.<br><br>It\'s like the early days of television, where shows were sponsored by specific companies.  That\'s the business opportunity now, in my opinion.<br><br>Marketers understand that reaching small desirable audience is important -- and they will be willing to pay way beyond the CPM equation.<br><br>As far as your crazy hosting fees, maybe you should consider publishing in Flash for free?

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9657354" class="dsq-comment-message">Hi Robert,<br><br>I worry about this very issue, since I also have a web site dedicated to video interviews with entrepreneurs (ZBIZ.TV). I\'m happy to share a few thoughts I have on the matter. If they turn out to be useful, perhaps we can meet for lunch some day. I have the feeling we\'d get along royally...<br><br>First, forget about the CPM model. Think in terms of flat rates per issue (specifically, per video).<br><br>Second, make it a point to space out your issues. They tend to come out in clumps. Space them out to no more than one a day, 5 days a week. Then you\'ve got something a little more manageable to work with, and companies could purchase sponsorships in weekly, monthly or quarterly commitments.<br><br>Third, I don\'t think it\'s rude or interruptive to begin your interviews with a word of thanks to a specific sponsor (while their logo and clickable URL appear on the screen), perhaps endorsing a particular special they may be offering to your viewers and then move on from there. But don\'t give those out to anyone who pays. Make sure they\'re someone you personally believe in. Your endorsement is worth a lot in many circles.<br><br>Fourth, you do two types of things with companies: you have conversations with the CEOs and you have demos. I don\'t think it would be unethical to charge the company a flat fee if they want to do a demo, especially as long as you have a disclosure statement up front that clearly says that they paid for the right to have their demo in front of this audience.<br><br>Fifth, when you do advertisements, you might also want to think of RocketBoom\'s example. They are charging $60-80,000 per week to sponsor their daily 3.5 minute show. You probably don\'t have the same mass audience they do, but I\'d be willing to bet you attract a good crowd that is steadily growing. Think about them when you set your rates.... and remember, they make their advertisements fun and unique when they do them.<br><br>All that said, I\'m nowhere near the audience size you have probably amassed by now, so this will be pie in the sky thinking for yours truly for the foreseeable future. But all of this is based upon my experience in running a very lucrative, but small and focused web site in the past (ClickZ) and what I might do if I were in your enviable position.<br><br>Hopefully, this is a direct answer to the questions you raised which I don\'t see truly addressed above.<br><br>Keep up the great work, dude. I\'m a big fan.<br><br>Andy</div>\

Especially if you start inserting reasonably short video ads at the beginning of your videos.  I\'m not sure about other people but I would definitely put up with a 5-10 second video ad at the beginning of the video in return for a high quality informative video.</div>\

I would suggest you probably sign a deal with microsoft or with youtube aka google. And host your video in Youtube or soapbox. Get a fair chunk of their ad revenue. Bittorrents likely wont work, as my "Gut" says that most of your website viewers, surf during office hours/univ hours. Who will want to read such stuff at house :) In both places p2p/bittorrents are usually blocked... and last make the videos more interesting. I for sure am not interesting in hearing an interview about your safari, or a definitely loss website like flock or the jaljah or something your wrote about yesterday. More interviews with real companies like Microsoft, google, yahoo, myspace etc. I mean atleast to start with you need big brand names to get you popular.</div>\

What we are finding that even though the audiences are highly targeted and the content is really good many advertisers cannot get their brains unwrapped from the Radio and TV pay models.<br><br>It is generally pretty straight forward to get at least a $20.00 CPM but it is really tough to break above the $35.00 CPM rate. Those that are telling you they are getting higher than $35.00 on a consistent basis are in the minority.<br><br>My experience has been even when I have proposed flat rate deals the vendor always wants full blown demographic work ups, and also total viewership which they end up doing some second grade math on to come up with a Cost Per View. Then they model that into standard Cost Per Acquisition models. You can better believe the manager that signs that advertiisng insertion order is going to have scrutinized the potential return, and you are not going to get a sponsorship amount higher than their CPA models allow for if that is their business.<br><br>Suggestion you should take all of your video and produce a seperate audio only track and put that on a seperate feed. I think you may be suprised on the download number comparison. My stats show a nearly 20 to 1 ratio aka Audio gets downloaded 20 times more than the video does.<br><br>Some will contest this but I have a pretty wide spread of data to back that up. Most of us are working, and driving to work. Most do not have time at work unless you want to get fired nor in thier busy lives to dedicate attention to watching a long video, short clips 2-3 minutes sure but long videos no way. I would rather listen to the audio only while in the car and stuck in traffic.<br><br>The solution for you at this point it two fold compress the heck out of the video and go to a lower resolution and create a seperate Audio only clip.<br><br>Next join me in encouraging developers to incorporate BitTorrent in all automated download applications like Juice, or develop a new integrated rss aware download application that has BitTorrent built in natively that will help reduce the bandwidth cost.<br><br>Todd..</div>\
