Could you just put all the videos on a DVD every 6 months and sell the DVD for $40?

- abstractbill 17y agoThat's not a bad idea. Yet another alternative: Pay for access to the live interview (which might mean you get the opportunity to suggest a question that gets asked). Make the archived videos free after, say, a week.
- covercash 17y agoI really like this idea. The one setback here is the initial quality of the video isn't the best (skype) so it may not look so hot on HDTVs. The video could be spiced up a bit by keeping the low res skype talking heads in the corner and filling the rest of the screen with supplemental information such as bullet points of key topics, demos of products and other similar, relevant information. This way Andrew can keep the basic skype interview on the site for free and charge for the DVDs that contain all of this exclusive bonus content. You could even bypass the DVD and just put the improved videos behind the paywall which gives viewers an incentive to actually pay.
- patio11 17y agoThe purpose of this suggestion is to guarantee people who are unwilling to pay instant access to the best, easiest way to get to the interviews, while giving the patrons time-delayed access to an inferior way to get to the interviews. I don't see that working out very well.
- jfarmer 17y agoSeems no-risk to me. Put up an order form, play with pricing and DVD contents, etc. DVDs are easy to make and you can take orders before shipping. If you only get 10 orders, burn 'em, mail 'em, and shut down the service as a failure.
