BUSINESS THREAD: How would you capitalize on extreme footage? fighting footage? etc.. - GoFuckYourself.com

sonofsam · 03-05-2006, 06:21 PM

Lets say you have a bunch of extreme footage... crazy car accidents... crazy fighting footage... girl fighting footage etc etc

how would you capitalize on it?

watermark it all and compile a dvd for sale?

use it to jump start one of those video sites? by releasing all the footage all over the net with a watermark of your video site?

what would you do to drain every cent possible from it?

lets hear it

personally i would compile a big dvd

Note: assuming all the footage is exclusive and never seen before

they got sued by the bums

for like 1 million or something...

but i'm sure they made WAY more then 1 million...

they're a bunch of college guys... so they're probably out enjoying all their money now

Just tell the truth, you want to capitalize on your extreme gay porn shot during your wild 18th year alive.

where can i buy a copy??

Pipe Dream · 03-05-2006, 07:00 PM

Make a DVD out of it, release a few clips with watermarks to the domain to purchase. I don't recall Bum Fights being advertised much, but it sure as fuck got around quick.

Pretty much what everyone else suggested

JD · 03-05-2006, 07:02 PM

is it an ongoing thing? like will there be more of it made/filmed over time? Do a paysite with it and offer the DVDs in the members area for sale.

unlimited supply...

but i don't like the paysite model for this type of thing.. i would rather just sell dvds

Make a commercial, buy air time, sell DVD's and get rich

that would take quite a bit of financial backing...

i think word of mouth advertising would do awesome on this kind of project though

also look into getting sites like break.com or dumpalink.com to promote it
