Hi,

I hope it's the right place to post something like this, if not please tell me.

I just came across the website ?url?www.onethousandvideos.com?/url?

I posted the video "somewhere in china" in the upper left corner.
I'd appreciate your feedback!

It's a (commercial) website to upload short films and they charge for it (starting from 1$ right now), but since I find it hard to get attention to my videos on Youtube I thought I give it a try and hope the page becomes famous 🙂

cu,

Alex

You found the right place.

My question is how are people going to find you there? I agree that it's hard to get attention on YouTube but will hundreds of thousands of people check out that site every day?

The center blocks cost $33,333! Then next tier is $11,111. I read the FAQ - he says, "this website can only become famous when people start to get crazy about this" but doesn't mention how he will drive people to the site. Who can afford $33,000? No maker of short films, that's for sure. So it will have to be some big advertiser. Why would I want to "get crazy" about clicking on a commercial for Pepsi or the trailer for a new Paramount movie?

I hope it works out for you Alex!

ci, I think the center block was $3,333...wasn't it? Still too much money.

balflex, I clicked on your video and there was simply a 36 second clip. That cost you a buck?

I'm bumping this as I hope you get some answers to your question...I'm interested as well.

When I run my curser over the center blocks it says, Category A - $33,333. Category D is $3,333.

I, too, wish balflex had returned. I'd be interested to know if he's getting more attention there than he did on YouTube.. I see that in 2 weeks not even one other video has been posted. I wonder how many people a day visit that site.

Ahhh. sorry...those damned boxes played tricks on my eyeballs. That in itself could be a problem with that site. ??)?It's a bit much. Still, am interested to see if it ever gets off the ground.

I haven't seen that site. That is an interesting idea.

If you are looking for more traditional distribution please check out http://www.hungryflix.com.

We are an online distributor of paid downloads formatted for the iPod, PSP and computer. As a provider, you set the price for your downloads. You earn 60% (after paypal fees) of the profits from sales of your films.

We are working hard to grow the site. We've had good interest from indie filmmakers.
