DISTRIBUTION

Cost of Delivery
The cost of delivering video becomes less expensive every year. Distribution to multiple devices and platforms also increases. The cost to develop high quality Video content continues to increase in cost to produce even though the cost to distribute goes down. All of these processes cost money and if the content owners are to make money the consumer will have to pay something. The success of an ad-based revenue model is still not showing enough success to content owners for them to continue going down this path. Something has to break here. Either consumers have to start paying to access the content or advertisers will have to pony up the cash.

Bandwidth Prices
Even though the price of bandwidth declines every year we will never see the costs go down to zero. If the cost goes down enough to create a streaming media world where content owners will upfront the money for creating, but distribution will be almost free, then and only then will the content owners start to see more money coming in. This does not seem to be anything that will happen in the near future as bandwidth providers are in the bandwidth business and the chance for the costs to go down enough for this to happen is nil.

Pay Per View Model
If ad-based revenue won’t work, and giving free content won’t work, and bandwidth prices will never fall to zero, then where does this leave the content owners? Pay to access the content is the solution that enables the owners to set a price and if consumers want access they simply pay. If On-Demand TV can do it just as Comcast and others have, then eventually Internet viewers and viewers on all other devices will have to get on the band wagon.

Bottom Line
If you want access to any content that costs money to create and distribute, you will have to pay for it one way or another. Get off the “I want all video for free” thinking and realize that these guys are trying to make a living too. What’s interesting in all this is that the cost to buy and view an audio or video clip is so low now, that it seems ridiculous that we are even have to talk about it.

MUSIC – AUDIO

Audio streaming on the Internet is a great way to listen to music, create audio presentations, and listen to radio stations just to mention a few. The field seems really crowded with so many applications available, but in fact there is plenty of room for new technology from all over the world

Listening
Pandora.com is a great way to listen to music. You are able to select a genre and listen to that type of music only. Set up as stations that you like to listen to. For example, you can select Comedy or Blues, Holiday or Latin stations.

Re-Makes
Many companies offer remakes of hit songs where you can download and edit the song to your specs. Many people use this to create their own customized Karaoke. Songs may cost 0.99 on average and can be quite profitable for companies that have recording studios to deferring the cost of creating the material.

PPV is a easy way to monetize your content and earn a quick return on your content creation efforts. The quality of the content and cross platform distribution is important, so create and deliver what the markets will buy and your work will make money.

For live events, pay per view technology works great for any high profile event that users can not get to in person. It is a great way to earn extra revenue from sporting events or concerts as you may be dealing with events that are sold out at the venue itself. It also is a great way to offer distance learning classes. You can even pair it with a chat type service to allow your users to ask questions and give feedback during the class.

For on demand content such as feature movies or training courses, a pay per view system will allow you to simply set it up to let you earn money without further interaction from yourself. You will need to upload your content with a pay per view provider and they will give you purchase links to place on your site for users to purchase. Since all of the payment processing and delivery is automatic you can focus your efforts on promoting the content without having to worry about anything other than making your sales.

There are many avenues you can travel to earn a profit with Pay Per View. A few markets that have been quite successful in doing this include the sporting industry. On line streaming of poker tournaments, baseball and football games, car races and many other events have benefited with a Pay Per View system in place. Find your niche and go out and make it happen. There is an open field of streaming content for profit and it will grow by leaps and bounds over the next few years.
