Web tv recruit.

[nico173]

Hello,

My name is Nicolas, and I started planning my webtv today. Basically, the webtv will be about flash/photoshop tutorials and others. It will be launched around christmas time, or after. My brother helped me pick out some crazy items, and it's about $1,000 worth of objects, but it's worth it. I will have a hot studio and hopefully a very good webtv.

So... Why am I making this thread? To find some people to join the team. First of all, you have to be experienced with flash/photoshop, and you have to be able to make at least 1 show per week. You have to pay me $15 per month, but in return, if you have a site, not only you get advertising, but you also get your tutorials broadcasted on the webtv and the tutorial(s) will go into the archive of the site, which needs to be done too.

I am a webdesigner, so webdesigning the site won't be a problem. I'm experienced with flash and photoshop, but I already have 5 shows set up on the schedule, and I just can't do every show, ever day.

Payments will be made by paypal, in the beginning of each month. You have to be active, and ready for each show. You don't always have to go live...You can use programs like camtasia to film your screen and do your tutorials from there, send them to me, and I broadcast it as if it was live.

We already have a member, which he will be doing drawing tutorials on tuesday at around 6pm pacific time. But we need at least 5 or 6 active members, willing to be ready and making unique tutorials per week.

So if you are interested, or want to know more info, please contact me:

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas.

WebTV was one of the first internet experiences I'd had. It was a box you hook up to your TV and you can get internet access from it.

Yeah...It's not that kind of webtv. Not even close to being that! I forgot to mention that this webtv revolves around winamp. If you have winamp, and you go to File>Internet TV, basically you'll be able to find my webtv and watch it, when it's running after christmas.

You will be able to see the shows, tutorials, and other stuff live with winamp.

Let me get this straight. Your asking people to put out a minimum of one tutorial a week and to pay you fifteen dollars a month for their effort?

Sir, thats friggin genius!

Starting today Im going to demand that all people and businesses performing services for me compensate me adequately for the privilege! I wonder how much I should charge my neighbors kids to wash my truck? :h:

Aye, he's got the :huh: point of your post =)

I would like to know why would the folks providing you content pay you 15 bucks for the content that makes people want to come to you site? Sounds like that should be the other way around. What is the url of your site?

This kinda sounds like a scam. but maybe it just needs clarification becasue right now I dont understand.

[nico173]

Ok i am just going to explain everything so you don't think im going to steal from you and then never see me again...

here's an example: www.energywebtv.com (http://www.energywebtv.com) (this webtv is runed by my brother, and they do shows everyday but it's mainly Djs/Music/Games and sometime talk shows...) i want to do basically what he does but only mainly focused on graphics/design/multimedia etc...

And have talks and test video games, since design is mostly the biggest industry today i am sure we can make a hit. So maybe if you guys join we can make this well... for the moment there's no website since i am currently recruiting people for the project that will start this coming christmas.

Now why i ask you to pay 15$ per month ? and not the other side... it's very simple it's because the server already cost a lot of money, the site cost also a bit of money for the server, and i buy material for my studio and spend a lot of money, if i start now paying you guys even though that's normal, where i am going to win a bit of money back or at least cover all the server costs ?

I am not asking you guys to help me run the webtv and also earn some more money, i am asking you to HELP me cover all the cost of the server at least for me to buy other things for the webtv...

Also, as I said before, with that $15 if you have a website, I will put advertisements live on the webtv and not only that, I will put your banner on the main frontpage of the site.

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

I guess where I am having trouble understanding is where you stand to gain, and if I pay the 15 bucks but you are not able to sustain your effort, then my money goes down the drain and so does the promised advertising. It just seems to be based on a shaky foundation. With no real incentive for the video makers. Which in turn you are hoping those video makers will generate traffic along with their 15 bucks and somewhere opn the tail-end you cash in. Dont get me wrong I am not bashing just want to clarify. And this clarification may inturn help you get more users to participate.

Really what you are saying is pay me 15 bucks to do some work and Ipromise in the future there will be thousands of people coming here and then that advertising I promised you will be worth its weight in gold. Kinda hard to sell that with no real concept to show or anything tangible. It's almost like that movie "Field of Dreams"... when they say "If you build it they will come.." What I would suggest is, get your URL, build the prototype site. Offer this initally for free. gain some steam then turn around and charge. Right now you are showing us nothing. Just my .02, your idea sounds like a good idea but its just a hard sell right now.

[nico173]

Now I really get what you're saying. So, what if I told you, you would be doing it but for free without paying me anything. If the webtv gets popular and more people come, I charge you, just like you ask. Would that be better for you?

And also I can't start the website yet, I have to firstly recruit people to make sure the webtv will work. Otherwhise, if I start the website and we have 2, 3 members and I don't do the webtv at the end... I just wasted my money basically.

[DDD]

When i say start the site.. Grab you a domain name (15 bucks)...Grab you a host (5 bucks/mo). Then design the site. No need in functionality at this point. You are just trying to sell the idea. I mean what if people sign up, then you site design sucks and no one visits because of that? Then the folks who paid are screwed. You are asking blind faith. And I think that will kill your initiative before anythign else will. My .02.


Oh and mods Ihavenot moved this to Jobs yet because Ithink this person needs to clarify more. And why pollute jobs when we can pollute D&D..:lol:
