Viral Video Advertising - Put Your Advertisement Directly in Viral Videos
With PPC you pay for every click, so that when your money runs out you stop receiving traffic; ads are usually placed over or around the content which results in less viability. We place a few quick, quality ads DIRECTLY embedded into the content, so that you get maximum exposure for a minimal price. Your advertisement stays in that video permanently, so that if it becomes a viral sensation and attracts a million views or more, you continue to receive traffic and get your message out on an ongoing basis: and you only have to pay once! More information about the service with answers to frequently asked questions follows below:
FAQ and more information on viral video ads
What can my viral video be about?
Anything you want. We can also help you come up with an original viral concept:
Is it better to advertise in an existing viral video or to have you produce a custom one for us?
That greatly depends on your budget and the particular product or service that you are promoting. We will compare options with you to make sure that you get the most advertising bang for your buck.
Where can I learn more about Social Media Systems and the other services that they provide?
Visit socialmediasystems.com, read our social media marketing blog and learn tips and tricks to improve your website for free. We are syndicated and republished around the world by sources that include Webpronews and Real Estate Magazine.
Why is this so inexpensive?
With most video advertising systems, the content creators only receive a small portion of the ad cost: this means that most of the money goes to the marketing and distribution channels rather than to the actual video creators; and most of the ads are placed in the sidebars or in video overlays which have less visibility; resulting in a much smaller audience response. We place only a few quick, quality ads DIRECTLY into the content, so that you get maximum exposure for a minimal price: all of your money goes directly to video content creation, with no middlemen involved.
What video will my ads be shown in?
You ad will be shown in the next video we release on the particular property you bought advertising for. In this price range we cannot give specific information on the exact video for the low priced ads (staring at $2.50), but we can guarantee that your ad will appear in a the video within 30 days of receiving your payment, and that you will be e-mailed a link where you can see your ad. Your ad will be promoted and launched on the web property of your choice and will be continuously available on the video distribution channels listed in the spot description above. For full length custom advertising videos and/or feature films or shorts specifically designed to target your intended audience, you will be provided with web-ready and HD versions of the production (which is shot and edited in High Definition), which are your property to use for TV advertisement or whatever you wish to use them for; and we can distribute them widley intentionally just as we distribute and promote our own productions.
How many ads will you put in each of your videos?
Unless otherwise stated, we put a one 10 second advertisement at the beginning of the video and up-to five 10 second advertisements at the end. This may change as the length and budgets for our films increases.
How many people will see my ad?
We do not know; however, at as little as $2.50 for a 10 second ad, you have very little to lose, and a lot to gain. On the low end, our individual videos rarely achieve less than a few thousand views; millions of views in some cases. If one of our videos did especially poorly (under 1,000 views), we would re-run all the ads in another video or two for free to ensure a value to the advertiser!
What video sites do you distribute to and are there any special considerations for specific sites?
Each video is syndicated to over 12 video sharing sites including Google video, Yahoo, Metacafe, and Veoh. YouTube in particular prohibits pre and post roll advertising, so for this particular channel ads will be read directly by the video creator and be within the content itself. Example:
“I’m the director and I wanted to thank ___ __ for providing __ ___ service and sponsoring this video.”
Ad Formats and Resolution
Our videos are originally filmed in HDV format with a resolution of 1080 X 1440 pixels and a pixel aspect ratio of 1.33. The finished version prior to uploading and downsizing is in .mpeg format. If you provide your ad to us in this resolution and format it will look the best. We will however do our very best to work with whatever format you have your contributions in (if any). We can make no guarantees as to placement quality for the inexpensive ads (lower resolutions will be stretched to fill entire screen, since the videos are scaled down for web distribution many lower resolution formats will still look excellent notably - NTSC DV - 740 X 480 pixels 0.9 Pixel Aspect Ratio )
We can accept most ad formats, however please e-mail us first if you have specific questions if you plan to send us an obscure or proprietary video format. We prefer to receive .mpeg (including blueray), quicktime, or windows media video files.
What if I need a video ad created for me?
We can create viral video ads of different types and quality levels. E-mail us a description of what you’re looking for and be as specific as possible. A basic 10 second ad with audio overlaying and an image can be as little as $50. We can also create longer ads and more elaborate viral “commercials” that you can spread yourself, or we can help you distribute them across our broad network. We are easy to communicate with and to deal with!
How to send us your video ad:
If the video is 50 megs or smaller you can e-mail it (solomon@rothman.name) directly to us. If it is larger than that, you can upload it for free to any file sharing or video sharing site (even YouTube) and send us the link, we can pull it directly from that site. We recommend myotherdrive.com because it will allow you to host multiple HUGE files and share them publicly in their original format.
