Clips4Sale buys into Hotmovies
 

from http://www.mikesouth.com

Philadelphia, PA – National A-1 Internet, a well-known multimedia conglomerate with highly recognizable assets including Hotmovies.com, announced today that it has undergone a management metamorphosis during a recent acquisition. One of the new owners of Hotmovies.com is also the owner of Clips4sale.com, the premiere downloadable video clip site on the web.

Representatives of Clips4sale.com explained that the two companies will continue to be operated separately, with independent management teams, while utilizing synergies that will benefit both companies.

“This is a very exciting move,” said HotMovies director of business development James Cybert. “We welcome the change and the expertise added to our top level management. We see a number of ways in which this can grow our sites in the months and years ahead.”

Interesting to see what happens with them

Interesting indeed.

:2 cents:

I thought clips4sale was as good as dead.

Surprising....

Why would you think that?

yeah , specially Clips4Sale taking a position in Hot Movies:2 cents:

congrats to the winners

good buy indeed

Outdated design and the lack of positive chatter on GFY.

I always refused to use hotmovies as most of their stuff in my niche is pirated to hell.
Clips 4 Sale stuff isn't as bad and we do ok off them when we bother to add clips etc.

Anyway, be interesting to see what happens.

Shouldn't this be the other way around?

If one of the NEW OWNERS of HotMovies is also the owner of Clips, that would make Clips buying into HotMovies.

yeah, that's the way I read it as well:thumbsup

That's how I read it as well and A-1 should likely have a ton more cash and resources compared to Clips4Sale.

That's the same way I read it. Clips4sale has been making mad bank for a decade.

so clips4sale will start getting traffic again?

Could a clips4sale affiliate program be in the future?

Why would studios want to take a pay cut?

:2 cents:

Mike South does it again. :)

actually i hope c4s is the controlling party I make way more money on c4s than hotmovies and the split is way better.

I think Neil does a great job and hold the guy in very high regard

Just for the record -
It is Clips4Sale that bought into Hotmovies, not the other way around.
:thumbsup

That isn't the case.

I dig 'em both!

Clips4sale is still better than any website..the money is easy and you can deal directly to fans of your niche..Ive been making a nice fortune on C4s since 06..they are much bigger than hotmovies and I love them too

that sounds more like it
:thumbsup

Congrats to all ...

I especially like the new anonymous owner (xbiz article) part. Really? Who is one of the few active M&A programs hated so much they wish to remain anonymous. Shit is hilarious.

congrats to the winners!

for traffic they otherwise wouldn't get.

C4S buying in... that sounds better, and I rarely promoted anything on hotmovies as an affiliate anyway: 20% share?
Fuck that for my time and effort.

What exactly are you losing if it's a completely new buyer, from a completely new traffic source, that otherwise never would have seen, much less bought, your product?

I will take 30%, even 25%, over 0% any day of the week.

Sage advice from another marketing genius... are you an authority on VOD too?

OH, please Gonzo............ You're on GFY BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sorry Ill go back to picking up the trash.:error

"One of the new owners of Hotmovies.com is also the owner of Clips4sale.com". I hope Stuart Lawley is not one of the other new owners.

didnt know Stuart was an owner in Clips ?

Now THAT makes much more sense.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Yeah God knows no one has made any affiliate cash on VOD over the years...:thumbsup

I did not say he was, but he was planning to start a clips4sale clone.

Yeah, I was scratching my head on that also........

50 clips

$2.50 per sale or no sale, that is the question.

$2.50 x 500 sales a month is! ;-) :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Love clips4sale. Sales have always been great for me and the support is excellent. I hope things get even better if that's possible.

Adapt or die? hahaha

Hope you are doing well Brad.

ah , ok :thumbsup

I've always found clips4sale to be far more lucrative for individual clips (vs. Clips.com), but I do alright with VOD on Hotmovies. My biggest gripe about Hotmovies is the submission process, where they seem to miss the mark on everything. There's a lot of potential for both studio's and webmasters in their coming together; let's just hope they don't make a ketchup/banana split out of it.

Looks like the deal is finally done. Movie Dollars checks this month are from LaHoma Management LLC.
