Ad Age is running an article on selling ads on your self created YouTube videos, and given the content that I have the sales of advertising is something that I am loath to do. Not because the videos are bad, I am actively seeking a sponsor, but that because most of my videos are about information security, and just how trivial easy it is to break into things using Google or other search engines, ad sales should be restricted to companies that provide a solution in that space.
The only problem, no one offers any kind of technology against what is in the Google search engine when it comes to finding flaws in people’s web sites.
Although the advertising campaign could be interesting “Don’t do this to yourself you mind numbing…” add what ever politically correct salesy statement works there.
Or just poor programming practices like in this video.
How do you sell ads when your primary video blog is all about showing how crazy some people are when it comes to security? As in, the idea of Security is something only for other folks, not for us. What kind of advertising works here?
The other question, is given the nature of youtube fandom, what kind of advertising works best for dancing babies, or people getting hit in the crotch by a ball, bat, golf club, choose instrument of pain here. Then what about advertising for stuff that is pulled off the networks (the Viacomm lawsuit still lingers) that the person pulling the video off the air is selling advertising on someone else’s work. Mashups, media, advertising, fluid copyright, weird videos, disaster looms.
