Does it mean that “Leap Year” will NOT be using “paid views”?<br /><br />In a previous article NTV has discussed the use of “paid views”:<br /><br />http://gigaom.com/video/paid-distribution-becomes-a-mainstay-of-web-series/<br /><br />How exactly does one generate a “paid view”? (ok that might be a trade secret, but does anyone know?). What do we know about the people who are responsible for “paid views”. What do we know about their viewing habits. Why do most paid views appear to be almost invisible if you look at discussions on social networks. Does a “paid view” ever make it past the first second of a video, or worse, the preroll before a video? Do such “paid views” actually view the content they are directed to……or do they simply click away because they were “tricked” in some way?<br /><br />Finally how does the approach being used by “Leap Year” differ from this classical “paid view” approach.modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-67002984043945729252011-06-05T09:15:57.624-07:002011-06-05T09:15:57.624-07:00Hiscox Small Business Insurance has 49 likes on Fa...Hiscox Small Business Insurance has 49 likes on Facebook. <br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/HiscoxSmallBiz<br /><br />What will be significant is how many "likes" on the "web series" translate into "likes" for the company itself......at least if you are going to attribute a monetary value of $3.60 to each fan. Yes, it is possible that the "likes" for a web series on FB have some monetary value but is it still $3.60 in terms of branded content?modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-76820419903088839942011-06-05T08:58:48.636-07:002011-06-05T08:58:48.636-07:00".. determinedhe value of one Facebook fan to...".. determinedhe value of one Facebook fan to be $3.60."<br /><br />- interesting.modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-14148033225471000092011-06-05T08:50:21.624-07:002011-06-05T08:50:21.624-07:00If it is geoblocked on Hulu it is not on the World...If it is geoblocked on Hulu it is not on the World Wide Web and hence it is technically not a “web series” (web is an abbreviation for “World Wide Web” as you know). Brands can do a LOT of harm to their brand by geoblocking. It is something that is not appreciated on the World Wide Web and those who endorse and use it will suffer damage to their brand image as a result.modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.com
