Get with the program!

Posted by Bill Cammack On November - 6 - 2006

So, how embarrassing is THIS? :D

I put my video on Brightcove hours ago. Way later, I put my video on Revver. Brightcove doesn’t have anything that tells you you need to be approved, but Revver does. Revver approved me in a decent amount of time. I wasn’t expecting it to be that quick, or I would have timed it. It was definitely approved in between my last post and way before right now.

So as soon as it was approved, I checked the status on Revver. I searched for it, and I found it. I played it. So just now, I went to Brightcove, and did a search for “reelsolid”. I found the MySpace video that I had found earlier in the day, before I placed videos on either of the new services. I also saw one more video, so I assumed Brightcove was in the game.

The video that Brightcove found when I searched…….. was on REVVER! :D hahahaha wow. We’ll see if Brightcove catches up tomorrow, but right now, Revver’s looking pretty good! :D

  1. Are you making any money yet with Brightcove? How was the uploading experience compared with Revver? I’ve got 525 videos on Revver and have made around $4,000 there, but all the recent technical problems at Revver have me thinking about Brightcove.

    It’s interesting that you ask that. :)

    First of all, I just put the videos on this week, so they wouldn’t have anywhere near enough clicks to make any money on either of the sites, because theyre’ not actually viral videos. Nobody explodes from drinking soda or anything. They’re cutdowns from longer-format videos I had already made.

    Second, the goal isn’t actually to make money on Revver or Brightcove with those particular videos. I wanted to know what the difference is between having clips on those services vs blip or youtube or myspace or serving the videos myself.

    Perhaps in the future, I’ll make videos specifically to sit on a site and get people to click the advertisements at the end, :) but I really wanted to know the difference between being involved with no revenue sites and revenue-sharing sites. I should have an opinion on it sometime in the next two weeks. My opinion right now is that time and energy would be better spent creating programming and getting a site directly sponsored than hoping people watch videos created to hopefully generate revenue.
