So you’ve produced two minute video that you’re really like to show off. And because of how cool its, people are flocking to YouTube to enjoy it. Just how many? We’re talking scads, like for example Bieber’s fan base looks like any nearby book club as opposed to views you’re surely raking in. Oh, not really much? Well, for a small amount of cash that can change. Enter virool. Virool, a startup being demoed at Y Combinator’s demo day later this month, is looking to boost the number of views video creators get. This company pairs publishers and content creators together automatically, along with a cut on the transaction, pushes out videos to viewers. The thought is partly a marketing network, in that money changes hands in order for the video to be seen. But moreover, the company is providing a lot desired service for any video industry. And en route, Virool gets a nice type of the action.
According to the latest statistics released by YouTube, you'll find 72 hours of video content being uploaded into the service every minute. That’s over 1.5 million videos uploaded day after day. Finding quality content that’s related to you is the equal of finding a needle inside of a haystack. Also the needle is produced out of hay. Plus the haystack is on fire. That dilemna impacts both the content creators as well as viewers. Unlike normal ads, which many people either ignore or actively dislike, people do want to see quality video content - merely don’t want to have to hunt for it. Likewise, creators desire their videos seen, but barring videos organically going viral, it’s unsure how to attract viewers, and certainly not when it comes to targeted demographics.
Virool solves that problem. The process starts when video creators join Virool, and initiate a campaign. Say I must have a YouTube video be observed by an additional 1,000 people. I'd go on Virool, add the link to the video, after which it tell the service how much money I’m willing to pay per view. Virool then takes the playback quality and puts it in a number of different spots. Publishers can assemble the video on a Facebook page, or game developers can embed them to acquire virtual currency. The publishers then receive a cut of the proceeds from Virool, and the videos get almost guaranteed views.
As soon as i met with the company earlier this week, they did a rapid demo on a PandoDaily video. They chose among the PandoList videos, and then handle the installation for a $10 campaign. In seconds, the video was getting views all over the place. On top of just the views, the campaign may be targeted towards multiple people based on age, gender, and venue. Then, when the views started arriving, virool provides a quick dashboard to view results. The campaign owner is able to see where people are viewing the videos, the number of are viewing them at this moment in real-time, and can decide to expand the campaign.
By all indications, the manufacturer has been winning over people in droves. The company provided good info on revenue growth as time passes, and it is impressive, as you would expect. Looking at the last 90 days, the revenue per 30 days has been roughly $50,000, $125,000, and $230,000, for May, June, and July; respectively. For that month of August, the firm made a whopping $50,000 about the first day alone.
This boost in revenue is likely a big part of how the company have been able to attract investors. And also Y Combinator, the company is seeing investments from Paul Buccheit, Alexis Ohanian, 500Startups, and Y Combinator partner Garry Tan.
