ReelSEO Video Marketing: Paid Video to Overtake Free Video on the Web in 2009?

    Mark -

    This is a semantics issue, but let's throw this out there - all video on the web in some way, shape or form is "paid video." Its distribution may not be, but the good video producers out there are getting paid for their work in some way.

    Again, it's a semantics issue but I think its worth bringing up.

    I think the difference is the following:

    Paid - Consumers are paying a membership fee or a static cost to download, stream, watch the video in general. i.e. Netflix, iTunes, MLB.com, etc...

    Free - Video available without having to pay anything i.e. YouTube, etc.

    A lot of video out there on the web was not done for profit and that's another difference altogether. But the study I'm sure made the distinction I have explained above.

    i just find that hard to believe. how much would paid content currently be - as a percentage ? less than 5% ?

    Yes, i was sure that it was going to happen on some time...videos are widely used and many people use it for different purposes. If video marketing and videos are available for free then i am sure that many people are going to make the full use of it. Nice idea and i am sure that it will work a lot.

    Hey whatever the % it is paying more so it is less content being paid more.
