TubeSpree.com goes live, offering product reviewers and online video creators a chance to bank on their influence.
The TubeSpree allows you to shop while watching online videos by layering products from various affiliate programs. Whenever there is a click or sale generated, the SpreeVideo creator, which is the person who layered the products over the online video, earns a commission. Similarly, whoever distributed the SpreeVideo, either by displaying it on their site, or by forwarding it to friends, also participates in the commission.
“2008 Is the year of interactive online videos, and we chose to offer a solution extremely easy to use, both from the TubeSpree user and the creator’s perspective.” Comments Cristiano Nogueira, TubeSpree’s product manager. “We are different from our competitors in this usability angle… we don’t allow two products to be displayed at the same time, and we are non-obtrusive.”
The SpreeVideo creation process is also simplified, occurring in 2 steps: First uploading the video, then layering products. As soon as the user is done layering and publishes the SpreeVideo, she is prompted to choose where to distribute, whether to friends on social networks like Facebook and MySpace, or straight to their Blogger account.
“Our growth strategy comes from mixing viral marketing tools with the incentives to spread SpreeVideos.” He adds. “If you have a site or a blog on any topic, instead of using other regular video players, you can start collecting commission checks by creating SpreeVideos and pasting them on your site.”
