Take advantage of the best quarter in blip.tv history

The fourth quarter of 2010 will be the best quarter in blip.tv’s history. We’re encouraging all blip.tv shows to benefit by using the blip.tv player on your show’s Web site, on Twitter and on Facebook. Take advantage by driving traffic to your site and by turning on preroll and overlay ads. Then go to the blip.tv Dashboard and study your daily statistics, using the information to further optimize viewership and revenue.

Blip.tv traffic is already up 14% in just the last two weeks. Tons of new shows coming onboard. Major advertisers — more than ever before — are supporting independent Web shows by advertising on the blip.tv network. Now is our moment to make independent show production truly sustainable. Now is our moment to take hobbies and turn them into businesses.

We have money to spread around. We have money to help make more shows sustainable. On Monday we sent out revenue shares for last quarter that included a $143,000 check. In January we want to send out many more of those. We want to have a bunch of shows on track to make half a million dollars a year. Your show could be one of those.

If you’re not currently using the blip.tv player on your show’s Web site, on Facebook or on Twitter you should do so now. If you haven’t turned on preroll or overlay ads you should do so. Brands like Columbia Sportswear, EA Games, Samsung, Reebok, Kraft, Starbucks, Canon, Zappos, American Express, LendingTree.com and Microsoft want to advertise on your show. And we want you to earn money from those advertisements so that you can continue producing your show.

This is a special moment. This is a special time. Audiences are discovering Web series. Advertisers are embracing Web series. New platforms like Google TV are emerging. Television and the Web are merging. Now is your time to take advantage of these trends, and to put some money in your pocket.

Build your show. Use our distribution network, embed the blip player. It’s easy, and we’re happy to help you. Join the best shows on the Web in building a new, sustainable future. Our team is standing by to answer your questions and help you get set up. Just e-mail support AT blip DOT teevee or a member of our content team (steve AT blip DOT teevee, eric AT blip DOT teevee, tom AT blip DOT teevee and aaron AT blip DOT teevee).

Let’s build the future of television together.
