The Video Podcast Agent

The Video Podcast Agent

There is already a trend in the uploading and sharing home videos on to sites like DailyMotion.com, Vimeo.com, Google Video and YouTube.com. Podcasts are plentiful and Video Podcasts are on the new frontier of the ipTV trend but bandwidth can be expensive. I have a new idea to solve the expensive bandwidth problem and make money with Video Podcasts.

In the late 1990’s there were a few new websites that gave people free online email. Sites like Hotmail.com, Yahoo.com and Rocketmail.com let early web surfers get there email anywhere they could find an internet connection. This service was free by slipping ads in and around the email space.

Create a Free Video Podcast website (Agent) maybe call it “Free Video Podcast” aka FVP. You would login and upload your Video Podcast to FVP (Agent). FVP would do a lot of the hard work automatically. Work like finding advertisers and submission to iTunes. Download numbers and viewer ratings could be tracked in a similar fashion to Amazon.com. As a Video Podcast grows in popularity 30 second ads could be place in the front and ends of the shows. This FVP (Free Video Podcast) website could share the revenues with the Video Podcasters content creators.

DiggNation (digg.com) plants ads in the front of their show and DigitalLife (dl.tv) has ads sandwiched in like show on TV. The FVP website / company could also sell ads across many different Video Podcasts.

The website Free Video Podcast would act as an agent finding advertisers and placing ads in on the Video Podcasts. The agent and content creator would share profit accordingly.
