What Motivates User Generated Video Content?


YouTube has proven to us all that WE LOVE to watch our own content. TV has proven that we love to watch well-produced content. GoYoDeo provides both. GoYoDeo will literally launch the careers of new TV shows, news segments, will-be producers, and more. The guy with the camera might just spend an extra $100 knowing that his or her segment might reach the level of CNN-Online if done right.

GoYoDeo is providing the engine, but everything else comes from the user. All content, organization, traffic, views, ratings, etc… are all driven by the user. It matters not what people create, but rather that they just… well, create.

In addition to ego, there’s another motivating factor that will lead people in droves to GoYoDeo to pick their position of poison: MONEY.

Share the Ad Revenue
Whether you are a Content Provider, Channel Manager or Network Administrator, you stand to some coinage with GoYoDeo. And, it’s pretty simple as to how it works.

Advertisers are looking for eyeballs. Period. GoYoDeo will deliver them. Not just at the GoYoDeo website, but everywhere Content, Channels and Networks are published. (Blogs, MySpace, websites, wiki’s, social networks, etc…) Unlike YouTube, GoYoDeo can literally “live” anywhere and everywhere it is published. He days of the portal are gone. To GoYoDeo, the entire WEB is its portal.

Imagine this, an economy within an economy:


You are a GoYoDeo Content Provider – Shouldn’t you get paid if your content is highly rated, used in popular Channels and Networks? Yes, you should.

You are a Channel Manager – Shouldn’t you be compensated for aggregating organizing fresh, quality content? Shouldn’t you get paid if your Channel is popular and gains a lot of views? Should you not earn some green if your Channel is being used by 1000 of the most popular, high-traffic GoYoDeo Networks? Yes, you should.

Will Video Demand Increase?


A CNET News Article states Video may have killed the radio star, but it doesn't have to kill the Internet.

That is if Internet service providers can figure out how to keep up with the video-driven bandwidth demand on their networks. Peer-to-peer technology provider BitTorrent says it can help.

Video consumes more network resources than any other media distributed on the Web. Even poor-quality video from YouTube eats up more bandwidth than e-mail, music downloading, and voice over IP services. And when you throw full-length high-definition video into the mix, you're talking about even more bandwidth. Depending on the compression used, a single HD video stream can eat up 20 megabits per second worth of bandwidth.

And as consumers subscribe to faster and faster broadband connections at home and sites like YouTube and Hulu come online offering all kinds of video choices, more people are watching video on the Web. According to ComScore Video Metrix, Americans are currently watching upward of 10 billion videos online a month. By the end of 2007, online viewers averaged more than one video a day.

This is just the beginning. ABI research forecasts the number of viewers who access video via the Web will nearly quadruple in the next few years, reaching at least 1 billion in 2013.

All this video is great for viewers, who are able to pick and choose what they watch and when. But for Internet service providers like the phone companies and the cable operators, it represents a massive challenge. Some providers, such as Comcast and Time Warner Cable, are testing out new ways to deal with "bandwidth hogs" or individual users who use an inordinate amount of bandwidth.

Last month, Comcast began testing a new system that will throttle back or slow down traffic during times of congestion for heavy bandwidth users. The new system was developed after Comcast faced stark criticism for singling out and slowing down peer-to-peer traffic.

What is the Socialution?
