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

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

Think outside the box. :)

sell it to RealTV? MaxX?

i dunno... that was the point of this thread... to brainstorm

what ever happened to the bumfights guys? they were making a killing on their website a couple of years ago.

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 :thumbsup

i would drm or flash it and distribute over net only :2 cents:

and send the traffic where?


maybe compile a DVD for sale... and then DRM some sample clips all over the net?

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

umm no...

20th year next month..

but other then that.. you're pretty spot on :1orglaugh

Bingo :thumbsup

bump for more ideas

where can i buy a copy??

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 :upsidedow

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.

damn, good question.

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 :thumbsup

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

The shockbucks guys seemed to be doing OK with that sort of thing at one point. The guy that runs that posts here.
