A fantastic simple idea. Video interaction is brilliant through gaming add-on. 3 comments:
1) Find a way to MAINTAIN gaming during the video (e.g. live comments adds of people in the room to the images?). That's because right now its fun to vote every 1:30minutes but then kind of boring to watch.. Althrough I stayed 3X more than initially planned ;-) This would allow maintaing people on site too since many people left/stopped voting after 1st video.
2) POINTS need to be prominent & STATUS linked: it's not about the money for me but the challenge & game. Many sites followed this model. When I win, the reward of points would need to incenvize me somehow. Make it big/prominent? What about leveraging STATUS with points too: status changes with results from say commoner to king to rock-star...
3) Consider Consumer Goods ads for site monetization: FMCG would pay to have their ads displayed (what about an ad of 10'' every few where people vote too???). I know that's old model but still there is something in the voting that could be a way for consumer research or brand 'interraction' of sort
Overall will be big, well done and keep it up!
- ay 16y ago"POINTS" - how are they shown ? Chromium here, I do not see them...
- daralthus 16y agoYou could actually make the voting along the video, before it ends, so there will be no waiting between them and also people can play the whole time. EDIT: Also, I would add the possibility to recommend a video to be next. It could be better then the automatic youtube recomends (do I think right it uses that?)
- iman 16y agoThanks, these are great comments. 1) Yes, this is something I am thinking hard about. 2) Yes, points and gaming like features with player rankings are key here. I would be very happy to hear about more specific thoughts or suggestions. 3) I am not yet thinking too much about monetization, but there are definitely a lot of interesting opportunities. Your idea here is something I will keep in mind! Thanks!
