Chapter 104: [Helly's Crazy Idea]

In the following days, Chad Hurley's operation team witnessed the prediction of BOSS, because the unexpected popularity of "Lazy Sunday" can be considered a big thing for the BV video business. The team saw and realized the video being made. Business potential in entertainment.
In addition, "Lonelygierl5" continues to publish online video diaries through video podcasts to tell their magical stories. So far, this carefully planned marketing has not been seen by the outside world.
Jain of course continues, until it is revealed, of course Chad Hurley hopes never to be exposed.
Even if it is revealed, it will still be a bit more heated at that time. After all, being exposed is also a burst of money.
The operation team continued to work on "Lazy Sunday", and behind the scenes the team proactively produced a large number of edited videos and uploaded them to the BV website.
Time passed by day by day, and traffic continued to accumulate. On October 21, BV videos gained 4 million views a day in this month, which is a daily view, and the traffic continued to accumulate.
In the first month of website launch, there were not many original videos on the website, but in the second month, this situation changed.
Users upload original videos more frequently.
A series of videos about Boeing 747 taking off and landing made by some users or "shooters" are quite popular on the website, and the attention has steadily increased. In addition to capturing users on the website, the BV team has been in the past month Advertising on Craigslist in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
If you upload videos, you can get $ 20 per video.
But none of the women responded.
It doesn't matter, because the enthusiasm of users for uploading original videos surprised the team.
In fact, this is the same as the core of BlueStar's social networking site B (BlueSpace), which is similar to the photo sharing function, but BV is video sharing.
In other video sites, the videos on the BV website make many professionals dismissive.
Because the quality is too poor.
This is pure nonsense, because the videos on the BV website are basically original videos uploaded by the general public, which is naturally different from some professional shooting, but this is exactly different from other video websites.
In theory, anyone can publish content on the BV video website. As long as they pass the review, the video uploaded by the user will be stored in the library, allowing users on the entire network to watch online.
运营 The operation department also lost a lot of money. In order to enrich the content of the website, Chad Hurley thought of a more crazy idea.
Mainly, this idea is too expensive.
Uh ...
下午 October 26, Eastern North American Time, afternoon.
"I buy Karma !!!"
"BOSS agreed?"
"It's crazy. Will investors get mad if they see it?"
"Bandwidth spending has continued to soar, and operating costs are rising madly. Can you still promise such a crazy proposal?"
At this moment, Menlo Park's BV video project department is distributed, and Chen Shijun and Judd's core operation team are all stunned.
They never thought of it, even Chad Hurley did not think that Luo Sheng actually agreed with his crazy idea.
深 Just one late night last weekend, Hlitt stayed up late in the middle of the night and waited for the Eastern Hemisphere to make an emergency call during the day to Luo Sheng, the ultimate boss of the company.
请 He asked Luo Sheng and proposed that he hopes to get a budget of 150 million US dollars for publishing a reward, the purpose is to expand the content of the video website.
Luo Luosheng groaned for a few seconds, just a few seconds.
Then agreed!
"Guys, 150 million US dollars, 150 million US dollars, BOSS hopes that we can spend all of this money reasonably within a maximum of three months a month." Chad Hurley said excitedly.
数字 This number is enough to drive all members of the project team crazy.
Chad Hurley added: "BOSS told me a word, and it is also the biggest expectation of the BV project: if you are looking for a video, please go to BluestarVideo, if it is not there, it does not exist."
"What are you waiting for?"
Next, all 49 team engineer members of the BV project began to enter brainstorming and enter the development of explosive liver.
Uh ...
Wu Mengde is a pet lover, he likes dogs the most, but he doesn't like parrots.
He keeps many stray dogs, but as more dogs are kept, the financial burden is getting heavier.
Meng Meng De is also a senior Internet user who also has a BS social account. Now in North America, no BlueSpace account is embarrassed to say that he is an old web worm.
And Meng De began sharing a lot of pictures on his personal social networking site at the beginning of this year, all about photos of dogs.
Everything he likes makes him very happy and is one of the motivations that encourage him to share new photos.
One day last month, he accidentally learned of Bluestar's new product, which is the online video BluestarVideo, in a message sharing pictures through his page. Some fans who knew this video site better than him suggested that he Take some videos and upload them to the website.
At first Meng De was doubtful, because he didn't think he had the professional ability to shoot videos. He was opened by curiosity, and unexpectedly found that this video website was very different from his imaginary video sharing website.
The above video shooting is quite unprofessional. Some videos are full of noise, and the camera shakes a lot.
But soon, he was like finding the door to a new world, and found that he could upload videos at will, and it was very simple, of course, waiting for review.
So Mengde tried it once, took a video of about two minutes, and uploaded it.
When the user is in BV video, the video is all in the middle. The only thing you need to do to upload the video to the BV website is to click the "Upload" button.
It's too simple. The "fool-style" operation is the basic condition for becoming an explosion.
萌 Since uploading the first video, Mengde can't stop.
Now, in addition to sharing new photos on his BS account, he also shoots a small video and uploads it to BV. The review speed is very fast, and usually he can see it on the website within three hours.
Today, Meng De turned on the computer and routinely uploaded a video to share on BV.
他 When he opened the webpage, an oversized pop-up advertisement popped up immediately, almost occupying the screen.
This makes Meng De feel uncomfortable with this video website for the first time, because there was no small advertising pop-up window before, and such a large advertising window suddenly popped up, and the user experience was extremely poor instantly.
However, I was quickly attracted by the figure of [$ 150,000,000] and caught it on the spot.
He was dazzled by the string of numbers.
And the content on the page made him feel incredible.
"WTF? The $ 150 million video bounty program? Looking for the coolest and most popular video? With immediate effect, as long as users join the program, they will receive a $ 2.33 bounty reward for each original video published on the BluestarVideo website over 45 seconds , And the ownership of the video still belongs to the owner of the video ... I even bought it !!! "
Wu Mengde could not help but clasp his head with his eyes, his eyes rounded.
Is there such a good thing?
You can get $ 2.33 by uploading a video?
Wu Mengde clicked on this popup page, and soon jumped to the next page to learn more details and found more information.
视频 This video bounty program posted on the website not only publishes videos to earn money, but also has a new video weekly top200 list, Mengde could not help but refresh the interface.
Sure enough, BluestarVideo quietly updated the new version. The website under the new version popped up such a weekly top200 list.
Wu Mengde cut back the page and continued browsing.
According to the "Video Bounty" program summary, as long as you enter the new video on this list, you can get an additional bonus income. The top 200 video, top200, can get $ 145, and top1 can get $ 30. $ 1,000.
The ranking rules of the list are executed according to the standard of video views. At the same time, only newly uploaded videos will enter this list for PK. It rotates once a week, which is a bit like the taste of the billboard on Billboard, but there are differences. This list can only be played once per video, and the bulletin board list can dominate the list for a long time.
Because there are huge differences between the algorithms and rules of the two lists.
The new version of the updated BV website also has an ad network. Original videos uploaded to the website will receive some income based on a comprehensive evaluation of the likes index, click view index, and popularity of comment areas.
Theoretically, the more popular a video, the wider the spread, and the greater the impact, the more advertising revenue can be generated.
Wu Mengde carefully read all the content, and the last one is that the "video bounty" plan is completed until the bounty of $ 150 million is complete.
This one is very important. If you do not continue the video, you will be charged with fraud if you do n’t pay for it. It will bring a lot of litigation trouble in Europe and America.
Wu Mengde joined the plan decisively, but he was still a little skeptical.
If you do this, isn't the website losing its rhythm?
After closing the page, he clicked into the personal center and uploaded a video as usual.
At night, he turned on his computer to watch the video on the BV website. He himself did not know that the number of recent BV openings and the length of his stay had quietly become more frequent.
Because I saw a lot of interesting videos on the website, such as some clipped videos, etc. This has never been seen on other websites. You can even watch boring news videos on the BV website ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You You can even watch the weather forecast of a Mexican TV station on it, and the click-through rate is super high, because the female anchor of the weather forecast is too "biu d'ho" regardless of face value and figure.
Millions of clicks watched you think everyone was concerned about the weather in Mexico? Everyone is concerned about the female anchor of the weather forecast.
At this moment, Mengde is watching a war video from the Middle East. A 30-second crossfire video, the number of click views shows that it has reached 800,000, and it is still rising.
After watching it, he looked for other videos that interest him, but soon noticed a message reminder on the page.
Wu Mengde knows that most of the videos uploaded in the afternoon have been approved, and he clicks into the personal center.
But when he saw that the wallet on his personal page showed that he had successfully earned $ 2.33 in income, Mengde was dull.
After a long time, he finally came back to God. The whole man was excitedly dancing and dancing, and all kinds of "buy Karma" sang and jumped.
Take a video, click the "Upload" button with one click, and the US $ 2.33 is successfully available.
What could be more Ness than this?
In fact, Mengde is not the first person to respond in this way.
Once the video reward program was launched, BV website has entered a real turning point since it was launched more than two months ago. From this moment, the original videos uploaded by the website have exploded.
Money can make ghosts grind. This sentence applies everywhere.
It is human nature to share videos, and it is common to long for attention. This is a hobby, but if you can make a little money by the way, you can imagine the power.
Uh ...
