| Sup guys, So we're working on the website for Compiling.tv (duah, tell us something we didn't know) We need your suggestions and help to create the best ''Members Only'' section. We were thinking having becoming a member be optional, free, but anyone who donates is automatically a member. We have ideas of what to give back for those who donate a shitload like really a shitload lol But we're not sure of the ''members only'' content we can offer. Perhaps some behind the scenes footage, bloopers, but what else. Please post ideas, suggestions, even the crazy spanking ones because they might lead to other good ideas Anything you can think of that our fans and members would like to have access to, what you've seen on other sites, etc. Post your ideas here or you can send them directly to CompilingTV@gmail.com if you prefer. And in case you guys are wondering what will you get in return for you help and suggestions...well Ima post the Series Première here a full day before the official launch date, so you guys will get to see it first (Yaye, hurray) And thanks in advance...the more ideas you guys post, the better | |

| I'm going to be honest with you, milady Shadie: Fully naked Shadie across the top of the website theme with a sign saying "new drama."Not only do you net in the entire female consumer base with the little sign, but the theme will crop you up to the very least one million views minimum. | |

How about drunk kitten goes on rampage after figuring out he had a crush on a girl at work who turned out to be a cannibalistic serial killer and after her murders her in satanic revenge ritual he discovers she has been reincarnated as a dog? | |

| I'm not gonna lie, before you think about a Member's Only section, I think you need an actual large fanbase. You know?
And I think you guys should try doing some more comedy stuff...some sketches and whatnot, be a bit more creative, (just giving advice for the webshow overall).
And I don't mean to offend with these suggestions, I'm just saying.
1. Write NEW, funny material. 2. Get a fanbase on YouTube (a big one). 3. THEN worry about a website and a member's only section and all that stuff.
Another cool thing would be if the OT could help writing some of this stuff. I'd say we have a pretty good sense of internet humor, no? (some of us, anyway). | |

(giggles) I don't really mind promotion, but I do think that maybe it would be a good idea to post about something else in the OT.
Anyways, the point about a fan base is kind of right. The videos thus far haven't been high enough quality for a once a month show. Your only other option is to go with frequency. I.E. you need to be putting up videos a few times a week. Case in point, I know full well that I need to get some software tested and registered and find good recording times before I start being serious about my own channel. (Which has effectively nothing right now.) After I do that I will have to build a buffer and dedicate myself to putting out videos on most week days covering several different topics and discussions.
If you guys are currently in the writing stage, that's great! It's good to put a lot of effort into a channel before you launch it for reals. However, we can't make community suggestions without a good enough idea what content you will be putting out. More of the shorts? They are okay, but not really something that is going to land you subscribers right now. Although it might seem like a good idea to just write, film, and put together when you have inspiration one of the secrets of YouTube is to keep uploading. People subscribe, bookmark, or follow you on either Twitter or Tumblr because they don't want to miss content when it comes out. I'll admit that your views for the trailer aren't bad for a starting channel, but it's not enough when the industry standard is CPM. Donations are wonderful, but at the end of the day as a business you won't get much revenue from donations unless you are already getting enough views to make money from advertisements.
So, are you going to start other more reliable shows? What's the main attraction? Will they be genuinely really funny? Are they creative? Are they informative? Will it be a variety channel? Will it be personality based or will it be scripted? Will there be guests? Will you experiment? What's the target demographic? What kind of community do you want? What kind of resources do you have?
I'm guessing maybe you're doing films from what I know about you. That's pretty ambitious to say the least. For better or for worse people expect an extremely high standard from even indie films. Unlike a short informational thirty minute video or a fifteen minute skit a film requires both time and somewhat of a level of involvement. I can make a video with a black screen and you don't have to have any involvement beyond turning it on and doing your work or game same as always. However, Indie productions have to hook people quickly and then keep those hooks in to be able to compete. Even then, between films you are going to need to pad the numbers with work which means doing other content on the channel.
TLRD: I have been thinking and working a lot on marketing research and pre-production lately.... | |

| In addition to bloopers and what not, maybe add extended cuts to the members section? Or alternate endings. Stuff like that. Even exclusive content. | |

| I'm gonna reply to pretty much everyone here... Ima start with Uly and Meatlocker...you guys ARE funny... Or maybe I wasn't specific enough in my description of the project. The videos are ALL made for Season 1. The series beings Sept 13th. We are in AUDIO EDITING, therefore the video edit is complete. I'm still working on Color correction and credits though. We have 24 EPISODES total that will air on YouTUbe EVERY WEEK. And we are already beginning to put together ideas for Season 2. Each episode will have a duration of approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Our main target audience is programmers. And so we are currently putting the website together in preparation for launch which is roughly ONE MONTH AWAY. Now, as Uly points out, if we need to wait a few weeks, a few episodes aired for the fan base to grow more before we start putting content in the members only section, then that's what we'll have to do, but better be prepared in advance just in case. Episode 1 will be Sept 13th, we have 14 episodes before X-mas, including a Halloween episode and a Christmas episode, then we have 10 after the Hollidays, including a Valentine episode (which has nothing to do with Valentine's Day but we chose it because of the content within the episode, couples stuff and sex LOL, no we don't have sex on camera, but we visit an interesting topic hehehe, someone gets caught watching something hehehe) Nuff said about that, don't worry, no punch lines have been given away. We even have a Jingle for the intro and outro, composed by Frank and he conducted the choir to sing it. It rocks. So now that you know more, I will conclude by saying that I will CONSIDER Daroska's idea, but I'm not sure it fits with the series LOL unless im sitting at a computer compiling, then I suppose i COULD be naked....roflmao Oh and thanks Soup for the interesting ideas, I like the extended and alternate endings stuff | |
