We have recently started new product line on our busyness - Multemedia Templates - Video Websites. People may insert in to their website youtube links and watch them on their website or even to make a video collection there.

How do you thing does it worth to develop this direction of products? Or costs spent to create this branch (such websites costs much more than regular) do not worth trying?

**AmieFlow** · 09-11-2007, 02:34 PM

Maybe people will use it. They like something new. I hope your new product will be much demand.

**happy_2b_kot** · 09-12-2007, 02:23 PM

and what for would you for example use video website?

**contact247** · 09-13-2007, 11:35 PM

try it!!! may your the next you tube site that been bought by large search engine companies

**happy_2b_kot** · 09-14-2007, 10:01 AM

And what do you think to make a template for audio/video podcasts?

**gringo** · 09-14-2007, 03:02 PM

Hi Happy,

I'm not sure what value this kind of template gives. After all, it's already very easy to embed a link to youtube in your web page. I don't think making it ultra-easy to embed an already easily embeddable link is a big selling point. I hope I've understood what kind of template you're thinking of developing

I am not quite sure that I have understood you clearly. please explain

People would use your templates if they have a need for it IMO. If you are still trying to develop this concept and unsure how things will go, I would suggest you to make polls on other forums so as to have the comments of your innovation. How are you planning to market them? Your market is very specific and you would need to promote it to your target audience. Your success will greatly depend on how you advertise.

For something new that has a very limited prospects, I would suggest you opt for advertisements that would target your desired audience - like Pay-per-click (PPC), paid targetted link backs, posting on webmaster forums, SEO. A good mix of these three ways IMO would work best. Best of luck!

happy_2b_kot I think we're not quite understanding exactly what your templates offer. Are they full website templates that make it easy to embed video or are they a template to enable us to embed a video in our own already existing sites.

What gringo was saying is that it's already very easy to embed video from sites like YouTube into our sites. YouTube provides the code and we just copy it and paste into our web page. You can't really make that any easier.

If what you're offering is a template for a full website that is designed to best maximize video as content then you may have something useful.

Could you describe your templates in more detail or even better show us an example of one. I think what you have is probably useful, but I'm not sure if I'm understanding exactly what it is.

1. we have already finished developing these product line and there are already several video templates on our store.

2. We are marketing this product using press releases and google ad. If you may give any other suggestions I'll be glad to read them

3. PPC - could you explain how it should be used in our case

Sorry happy_2b_kot, I didn't make myself clear. What is the selling point of these new templates? Is it that you can embed youtube videos in them? If that is the only selling point of these new templates, I don't think it will work because people can already easily embed youtube videos in any website. Your templates may be designed very stylishly - and that will be a selling point - but the facility to embed youtube videos isn't.

**vangogh** · 09-18-2007, 07:31 PM

Thanks for the further explanation. That's what I was thinking you were offering, but I wasn't sure and wanted to ask.

I think there's a market for your templates. The template market in general is oversaturated and there are enough free options to make them even more difficult to sell. I think you've picked a nice within the template market to focus on which should help.

However templates are a very saturate market and I agree with gringo that while your designs can be a selling point the embedded video part of the template may not be a big selling points. It's simply too easy to add video to any page. You have created a design with the idea that video will be there so that should appeal to some.

A different way to approach niche templates might be to choose a specific industry, like real estate for a not so great example, and think about everything that industry would likely want and need on a website. Then create templates including all those features.

selling point is design as usual, and video is like a new specfic category, that we were thinking, could be something new and interesting for clients

- already thinking of it and develoding categories for targeted clients.

Besides, what do you think of makeing templates for audio-video podcasters. Podcasts pages are so similar-looking....

**vangogh** · 09-19-2007, 07:02 PM

I think developing templates for specific markets is a good idea so why not one for podcasters. But again I think the appeal will have to be more than the ability to add the podcast since it's not all that difficult.

I do think you're approaching templates the right way.

hmm to add personal mini blog for podcasters? or gallery service?

**vangogh** · 09-20-2007, 07:42 PM

Depends on which you think they'll want more. Of course you could add both or create two different templates for podcasters.

**happy_2b_kot** · 09-27-2007, 08:38 PM

will think of it in future. any more ideas?

**zaragozza** · 10-31-2007, 01:00 PM

make player window looking really like a native part of a template. if possible - customize player control buttons

**MrCat** · 11-02-2007, 10:36 PM

You are catering to a specific niche of those who would most likely use your templates. I suggested PPC as a means to reach your target market. Done properly, this would yield the right traffic to your site and make conversions - Research (keywords), Selection(keywords and PPC provider), Implementation (bidding and start-up) and Analysis (which keywords worked best and cost vs. revenue).

**happy_2b_kot** · 11-06-2007, 03:33 AM

I am not quite sure that I am able and really should allow myself using PPC.

The point is that I have a team of folks that I may provide with tasks with website promotion, and I really know that there are ways that need no money but allows you to promote your website.
And I am looking for them and already doing some of them with my team.
