Thread: User Generated Video Reviews

Sounds like an excellent model, if you are the provider/aggregator of the system. Lots of details to be worked out, but that goes with anything.

Drive this concept (you create a system that allows video reviews and you pay your contributors) vs
Ride the concept (you make reviews and some 3rd party pays you for your contributions.)

Yea, I could see it being a company that has an integrete-able platform for each OS cart software and could be made to fit any one off in house softwares. it would have to be linked to a good tracking software and some sort of affiliate commission system. So like a mash up of cj/ga/youtube haha.

I could see this as a venture funded idea as well. That would be a fun adventure.

I'm not sure that I fully understand your concept, but it sounds like what I and many many other affiliates are doing with video reviews to sell products.

There is definitely a favorable bias in Google's rankings toward videos, and some percentage of people prefer them (non technical peoples, for techies they are too hyper and prefer to scan a page of print to digest the information faster).

search on youtube for virtually any product and you'll find affiliates who have done video reviews.

The difference here is people are uploading them to community sites. Amazon allows users to upload to their site directly to the product page. So if you offered your shoppers a way to make money. Tell them to create a review and attach it to the site. new users watch and buy, the user that did the review gets paid a small portion. Right now it seems that you all are running reviews on community sites like vimeo and youtube. Which is fine for mass promotion. I am talking more in house, on page reviews to ramp up sales and kicking back to the user.

Might be the same concept in a different box
