So you’ve designed a two minute video that you’re really satisfied with. And because of how cool it will be, people are flocking to YouTube to watch it. Just how many? We’re talking scads, like for example Bieber’s fan base looks like the area book club when compared to the views you’re surely raking in. Oh, not really? Well, for a little bit of cash that can change. Enter virool. Virool, a startup being demoed at Y Combinator’s demo day later this month, looks to boost the number of views video creators get. The corporation pairs publishers and content creators together automatically, as well as a cut within the transaction, pushes out videos to viewers. The objective is partly a marketing network, in that money changes hands in order for the video to be seen. But even more important, the company is providing an extremely desired service for your video industry. And in the act, Virool gets a nice section of the action.
According to the latest statistics released by YouTube, you will discover 72 hours of video content being uploaded towards service every minute. That’s over 1.5 million videos uploaded daily. Finding quality content that’s tightly related to you is the same as finding a needle in a haystack. Also the needle is done out of hay. Along with the haystack is on fire. That dilemna impacts both the content creators as well as the viewers. Unlike normal ads, which plenty of people either ignore or actively dislike, people actually do want to see quality video content - they merely don’t want to have to seek it. Likewise, creators wish to have their videos seen, but barring videos organically going viral, it’s unclear how to attract viewers, and of course not when it comes to targeted demographics.
Virool solves this difficulty. The process starts when video creators join Virool, and a campaign. Say I'm going to have a YouTube video certain you're seen by an additional 1,000 people. I would personally go on Virool, add the hyperlink to the video, and after that tell the service what kind of money I’m willing to pay per view. Virool then takes flick and puts it in many different spots. Publishers can position the video on a Facebook page, or game developers can embed them family pet virtual currency. The publishers then get a cut of the results of Virool, and the videos get almost guaranteed views.
When I met with the company the 2009 week, they did a rapid demo on a PandoDaily video. They chose among the many PandoList videos, and then set it up for a $10 campaign. Within a few moments, the video was getting views everywhere. On top of just the views, the campaign are also targeted towards categories of people based on age, gender, and placement. Then, when the views started being released in, virool provides a quick dashboard to view results. The campaign owner will see where people are viewing the videos, the amount of are viewing them currently in real-time, and can like to expand the campaign.
By all indications, the organization has been winning over people droves. The company provided some information on revenue growth gradually, and it is impressive, as you would expect. Looking at the last with 3 months, the revenue per month has been roughly $50,000, $125,000, and $230,000, for May, June, and July; respectively. For the month of August, this company made a whopping $50,000 in the first day alone.
This growth in revenue is likely many of how the company happens to be able to attract investors. In addition to Y Combinator, the company is seeing investments from Paul Buccheit, Alexis Ohanian, 500Startups, and Y Combinator partner Garry Tan.
