Ride The Niche Video Market Sunami To Success

When the tides roll in there is very little to do but rise and fall with the ebb and flow just like in business. When the big wave approaches you must get on it or be tossed aside as it passes you by. The modern mind understands expanding markets find their own levels and realign their creative avenues to traverse in these new conditions. The creative mind will grab onto the embryonic market before this happens to secure the top positions.

The recent flood of broadband on the Internet has caused a video deluge predicted as far back as 1996, when only a handful of people had vision for the future. Today, as the vast proliferation of media offerings overwhelm even the experienced professionals, web surfers are more in need of websites willing to sift through the millions of video offerings to produce a quality experience. Whether you are selling a cookbook, ski lessons, power saws, the latest martial arts exercises, your pets latest tricks, or your bands newest songs a niche video site is one of the newest Web3.0 tools you either avail yourself soon or build out yourself.

These collectors of specialties, with knowledge and power to organize, put the myriad pieces of media into a coherent web site that can be easily navigated. This is the first big wave as the new sites spawn from the bloated mother, and it is starting now. There is an abundant array of niche video websites already available with specialties such as: golf, medical, sports, University football, business and let your imagination go. They have content for a special niche attending to the quality and direction of their website video offerings. It is in these sites that the Internet user can find what they are looking for naturally. This is the perfect environment to build community, quality information, and entertainment on a central core for any related topics.

Mega sites may host and preserve huge collections of various media but there is no human editing or computer formula to find anything that may be of value to a typical web visitor. Like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. The commercial viability of these mega sites relies on the fact their search returns are weighted to their own properties, displaying advertisers along with major corporate offerings in their search returns. This often gives repetitive websites that major corporations pay millions to put at the top. Everyone knows these places. There is more quality out there than what these mass media mega-sites have to offer and we hope to discover a means to find it.

Whether you are looking for a specialized golf video site, medical videos, heavy metal sites, or video-date sites the task of sifting is still not done. How does the Internet user find these niche video sites? What is the next big wave, the online TV guide for niche video sites? There seems to be a new wave of specialized sites helping there too.

One of the first streaming companies whose main web has always been a hub for niche video websites is OnlineTV. Since 1996 OnlineTV served as a hub for many of it's own niche video sites, all of which still participate in niche video just as they did back then. OnlineTV has evolved itself into a full spectrum guide for niche video websites on the Internet. Featuring a myriad selection of specialty sites that pass a strict hand review from the editors. Each site is visited and appraised of its quality and character as well as the niche they provide. Each entry is scanned weekly to make sure it keeps up its quality. Entries are created with editorials, logos, and/or captures of their web pages to give you a feel for the site. Members are able to vote, comment, and recommend the various sites adding assurance to your positive search results. You get what you are looking for. No one has to pay to be listed and the search results are fast and accurate returning niche video sites matched to your search terms.

The recent popularity of this niche video guide has seen the site promoted to http://www.OnlineTV.us URL further enhancing the visibility of the streaming sites already reviewed there. I would recommend over 100 of the media sites listed there but am prohibited from stuffing this article with too many URL's. The variety and quality of the offerings there are astounding and I am sure you will find yourself a favorite niche without my needing to point it up.

If the niche you want is not there then that is where you can fill in the blanks. Niche video sites are all about now so it is anyone's ball game right now. Get out there now and forever hold your peace.

Music Must Be Seen to be Appreciated

It had been a glorious sunset on the mountains. One of those days when majesty and glory seem to be in the fresh scarlet lit air. It was a day for discovery and I wanted to find some new music, a new band to listen to and share with my friends. I went to that awe-inspiring compendium of video on the web YouTube to try and find some new Independent Music groups. To my amazement I found nothing but the big major label brand names that are everywhere anyway. I wanted to find new music!

I realized as quickly as the winter’s night closed the last sunset there was a problem. With days of work I could find a few interesting groups on YouTube, but quite frankly, the picking is very slim and I know there is a lot of good music waiting out there. Look, that is what you need to think about, look and be seen. You have to be seen to be heard and music video is the way to do that.

The first goal is to get you musicians to create more videos from your already existing tracks. My next goal is to point you in a direction where you can be easily found.

Towards that first goal I shall point you all to get on your movie maker programs that should be on the computer you peruse the Internet with. Assuming you have a PC. If not you must get access to a simple editing program. Dump your full quality soundtrack onto the timeline and start making a video. Take images of the band or make them up and create a video around your music. Something tasty.

A good place to get images and film clips that are public domain, for your new impressive video production, is the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/details/movies. There should be plenty there for you to work with and get your taste buds moving. I have not only pointed many a band to this treasure trove of clips but have seen the extraordinary videos that have been fashioned out of them.

If you are stuck for creative juice in video gather up your friends. Ask your visually inspired friends to do it for you. It is on your computer, easy to use and produces a file you can upload almost anywhere.

Once you have that file you must upload it everywhere. I mean everywhere. You have to get on YouTube because you just have to. At the same time you can be sure that you will never be found there. The only views will be your friends, family and you. YouTube thrives on the traffic you bring them and you will get a few strangers that may fall into your material. It is a billion to one shot but people get hit by lightning too. Do not depend on this to be your key to world stardom or discovery. You must expand out and find places to be seen.

I always suggest that musicians put their stuff up at MusicTV http://www.MusicTV.com/share/ because they are a strictly niche music site. Here you upload your music video where they convert and hosts your material in FLV format. They give you code to put the video on your own site, blog or wherever at the same time as promoting you on a music only site. You put your own keyword tags and do not have to add “music video” or “Independent Music” and can focus the keywords on what your group is all about. You can additionally select up to three categories, or genre, to display under and the search looks at tags and descriptions to provide results. The tags become relevant to search as well as the terms in your description.

You can put your music and favorites into a group and be found in groups and search. All of a sudden you pop up in searches everywhere! You get on the front page easier and you can be found. People are there for music and it is broken down to genre for them with easy search. Everything is fed to the blogosphere with RSS feeds! That means all content is broadcast to all the important news consolidators on the Internet. It is a great starting point for any group.

The best feature at MusicTV is I can find and share all the new music on this site because the site is all legal. No one is allowed to upload “Madonna” except Madonna. So that makes this a home to the Independent musician. MusicTV.com is an independent music site for independent musicians who want to be seen since 1996.

Online TV Video Search for Dummies

Online TV video search is the easiest search I have found yet. While it has not grown to it's full potential it is already chock full of goodies.

I really like that the community is about niche websites. There are no videos actually at OnlineTV.com Video Search. It is all about finding niche video websites.

Why Niche Video Websites?

These new and popular websites are the beginning of people publications that are reachable and useable by people. If you go to a monster conglomerations site you find a lot of trash in between the goodies. A search for "metal" will get you more than metal music as will a search for metal music.

OnlineTV.com Video Search is like a new world. It combines a hand built search engine with community interactions in a social environment. Allowing members to post sites, site owners to post their sites and everyone to review and vote on them sharing the information with friends. Niche is the future for web content and for video search there is onlinetv.com

Visit today and enter your favorite web-streaming site!
